LETTER FROM THE CEO

Stan Hartling

I am thrilled to introduce you to The Shore Club Turks and Caicos, a development produced by our award-winning team at The Hartling Group.

Located on exclusive Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club represents my dedication to providing long-term value and buying opportunities for our clients in the next desirable segment of the real estate market. Our premier address at Long Bay Beach does just that.

The Shore Club boasts one of the most generous allocations of oceanfront for each residential suite when compared with any other resort in Providenciales. Occupying 820 feet of prime beachfront, and 12 acres of land, the resort permits every owner to enjoy unprecedented and open views of the magnificent turquoise waters that make Turks & Caicos one of the most preferred addresses in the Caribbean.
Our very private setting is only 2 1/2 miles from Grace Bay – exclusivity and convenience will be yours at The Shore Club.

The Hartling Group’s commitment to developing thoughtfully designed, high-quality resorts at desirable addresses, provides our owners with peace of mind and a quality-of-life investment that will be perpetually rewarding. Please take some time to learn about the compelling range of amenities that we offer at The Shore Club, and find out how our rental program will make ownership even more appealing.

We look forward to personally introducing you to The Shore Club.

Yours in hospitality,

Stan Hartling
CEO, The Hartling Group

Davies honed his seafood culinary skills working alongside notables including the Roux Brothers, Anton Mosimann, Alian Ducasse, Rocco di Spirito and Matthew Kenny.
