On a breezy site overlooking North Creek, this inn is the creation of Colin Brooker, an English expat, and his Grand Turk-born wife, Lucy. The complex's architectural style evokes the Mediterranean, with rooms opening onto water views. The three studios and five one-bedroom suites are comfortable but nothing fancy; all have kitchens, bathrooms with tub and shower, and balconies with sumptuous views overlooking the water and the well-planted gardens. It's not on the beach, but you can easily get there by gas-powered golf cart or one of the vehicles provided for guests -- either a van or a pickup truck. The idyllic spot here is a pool set against a backdrop of tropical vegetation. Activities such as fishing and scuba diving can be arranged. The hotel offers its own dock on North Creek, featuring sailing, canoeing, and windsurfing.
