Upon arrival at North Caicos airport, Mac from M&M Taxi (for a fee) will take you to La Casita Villa on Whitby Beach. Remember to schedule your departure time with him! Mac will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the island. Ask Mac about different excursions or restaurants you may wish to visit on North Caicos. You will also find a list of things to do and places to go on North Caicos in the reference book that we leave for your convenience in the villa. 

Telephone: The phone number of La Casita Villa is written on the inside of the telephone book, along with other important numbers. If you are calling a local number on North Caicos just dial the last five digits. To make a long distance call, dial 1-800-877-8000 and wait for an operator to assist you with a credit card call. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are accepted. For an AT&T (or various other calling cards), dial 1-800-877-8000.

Television and Stereo: La Casita Villa has satellite TV, VCR, DVD and a sound system, so you can bring along some good movies and music.

Water: Tap water is from rainwater caught on the roof. The water is purified and safe to drink from the kitchen tap. If you prefer bottled or mineral water it' s available at island grocery stores. Please bear in mind that you are visiting an island with a fragile environment. Water is a very precious commodity and we greatly appreciate your conservative usage.

Electricity: As with water, it's important to conserve electricity on North Caicos. Please remember to turn off lights and fans when you are out on your excursions during the day.

Food and Beverage: There will be some typical staples in the cupboard and refrigerator when you arrive. Please help yourself to anything you wish. Upon your departure, leave whatever you wish. Please remember that food left on the counters and in open boxes will attract ants. If in doubt, keep the food in the refrigerator.

Getting Around: While taxis are widely available on North Caicos, there are also rental cars available. You will find the numbers for car and motorcycle rental on the island in the telephone book. Remember to drive on the LEFT side of the road and watch out for those folks who forget. Also be careful, especially at night, as many locals walk or ride their bikes as a means of transportation. The island pace is slow so take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Various Activities are available and can be arranged: 

• ISLAND TOUR PACKAGES
• SCUBA DIVING and SNORKELING
• FISHING TRIPS  and  CRUISES

Cleaning: The villa will be cleaned before your arrival and after your stay. A housekeeping person is available for hire if you would like daily chores done during your stay.

Garbage: There is no garbage collection on North Caicos. Garbage should be deposited in the waste can. Trash pickup is arranged during your stay.

Critters: There are some wild cats and dogs on the island. While it may break your animal-loving heart, please DO NOT FEED THEM. No matter how heart wrenching the pleas, these animals should not be fed under any circumstances.

La Casita is regularly checked and sprayed for various small creatures that make the island their home. Occasionally, however, you may encounter some of these critters, best efforts not withstanding. Do not be alarmed, as they are harmless; and indeed, lizards help keep the bug population under control. Please remember to keep the screen doors closed and you'll probably never have one visiting you. Occasionally after a heavy rain or if the trade winds die down (not very often), you'll get a few mosquitoes or sand flies. Make sure you bring some insect repellent.

Sun: The Caribbean sun can be pretty treacherous; please be sure to use some sun block. It is available at the local store. We want to make sure your visit will be a relaxing and comfortable one.

Baby crib: A crib is available. Also, for those couples who need some get-away time, baby-sitting services can be arranged in advance.

Safe: There is a safe for your valuables.
