ANDREW ASHCROFT’S INSIDERS GUIDE TO TURKS AND CAICOS REAL ESTATE | JUNE 2025

What’s Inside:

• Featured Real Estate Listing: Caribbean Diamond Residences

• Up-to-Date Market Info

• Andrew’s Guide to Spending Summers in Paradise

Summer in Paradise

Neighbors paddleboard to happy hour. The tide schedule matters more than the clock. Shoes are optional. And you’ve got a go-to spot for conch salad that’s not on any map. This isn’t a vacation. It’s your Tuesday.

Summer here feels different—in all the right ways. July through August is when the islands exhale: the pace slows, the crowds thin, and suddenly it feels like the whole place is yours.

TCI is a lifestyle that’s hard to leave behind…and easy to come home to.

SUMMER THIS IS HOW LOCALS DO IN TURKS AND CAICOS

By Andrew Ashcroft

Summertime in Turks and Caicos is the locals favorite time to come out and play. Here are just a handful of the things we love

to do the most.

FIND YOUR FAVORITE SANDBAR

Skip the crowded beaches. As a homeowner, secluded coves and private sandbars are all yours. Boat out to Half Moon Bay for a lazy beach picnic, or slip into the calm waters of Taylor Bay before the rest of the world wakes up.

CATCH, COOK, REPEAT

Snapper, lobster, wahoo—catch it fresh and cook it even fresher. Many homeowners drop lines off their dock or pick up the day’s catch straight from the fishermen in Blue Hills.

TUESDAYS ARE FOR FISH FRY, FRIDAYS ARE FOR LIVE MUSIC

The weekly fish fry at Bight Park doubles as a community hangout. And if you know where to look, you’ll find backyard concerts, beach bar DJs, and barefoot dancing under the stars.

ADVENTURE ISN’T SCHEDULED. IT JUST HAPPENS.

Kayak through the mangroves, snorkel the reef behind your house, or hop a skiff to West Caicos just because the tide’s right. Around here, spontaneity is the plan.

SUNSET IS A RITUAL

Whether you’re on the deck with a drink or floating in the shallows off Long Bay, locals make time for the sunset—every single night.

WHY SUMMER IS THE

Andrew has recorded over $24M in transactions across the islands in the first half of 2025—proof that others are making their move. Thinking about investing or buying a home? Summer in Turks and Caicos is one of the best times to explore your options:

INVEST IN EXPERIENCE

TCI is about ROL—Return on Lifestyle. With a 2.3% year-over-year increase in stayover visitors and cruise passenger arrivals soaring 54% this year, it’s clear: the world is rediscovering Turks and Caicos.

FOR BUYING IN TURKS AND CAICOS

By Andrew Ashcroft

LESS COMPETITION, MORE ACTION

With fewer buyers on the ground, you get better access to listings, private tours, and even seller flexibility.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

Book a stay at a property or in a neighborhood you’re considering. Get a true feel for the island lifestyle.

RENTAL INCOME INSIGHTS

Summer lets you see firsthand how short-term rentals perform in shoulder season— critical intel for future owners.

HIGH-SEASON PREP PAYS OFF

Buying now gives new owners time to furnish, personalize, and prep their property to capitalize on peak season returns come winter.

TRACK RECORD OF APPRECIATION

In prime areas like Grace Bay and Leeward, property values have shown steady long-term growth, even through global volatility.
