After years of ski vacations, designer Ainsley Hayes and her family decided to buy a second home in Turks and Caicos. “It has a relaxed island lifestyle but also offers active family activities like kite surfing, fishing, snorkeling, boating, and golf.” Hayes is one of a growing number of Americans and Canadians purchasing second homes on these two stunning Caribbean islands, which are a direct flight from East Coast cities like Boston, New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Philadelphia. “Overall, Turks and Caicos offers a combination of natural beauty, tax advantages, tourism appeal, political stability, and infrastructure development that makes it an attractive option for Americans considering a real estate investment in the Caribbean,” Umansky says.
