Short answer
What this page says in one clean answer
Stay near Sapodilla Bay if you want shallow-water beach time, a quieter side of Provo, and a trip that can center around a private home base. Stay in Grace Bay if resort walkability, hotel services, and the widest restaurant concentration matter more than privacy. Villa La Percha is a private waterfront villa in the Chalk Sound/Ocean Point area, positioned between Taylor Bay and Sapodilla Bay.
Two beaches, one base
Sapodilla Bay for energy, Taylor Bay for calm — both close to the villa.
Private home base
Four en-suite bedrooms, private pool, hot tub, and dock swimming for one group.
Honest trade-off
More privacy and scenery than Grace Bay; plan on a rental car for dinners and exploring.
Sapodilla Bay
Best for a livelier shallow-water beach.
Sapodilla Bay is a popular nearby beach because the water is shallow and the setting is easygoing. Compared with Taylor Bay, it usually has more activity around it — which is a positive if the group wants a bit of beach energy, and worth knowing before you build the whole trip around quiet. For guests staying at a villa near Chalk Sound, it works well as one stop in the rotation: go when the group wants a more social beach day, then come back to the privacy of the villa.
Taylor Bay
Best for quiet, shallow water.
Taylor Bay is the calmer counterpoint: quieter water time, floating, sunset walks, and low-friction family swims. If your group includes children or anyone who prefers gentle water, Taylor Bay may become the beach you return to most. Staying between the two beaches means you never have to guess in advance which mood everyone will want.
Chalk Sound
Best as a scenic villa base.
Chalk Sound is not a hotel district. It is a scenic residential area defined by turquoise water and a slower pace, which makes it especially useful for a private-villa stay. At Villa La Percha, the private pool, hot tub, dock, kayaks, paddleboards, and outdoor kitchen give the group several ways to spend time without leaving the property — and the best west-side Provo trips usually mix beach outings with slow hours at the house.
Grace Bay
Best for resort convenience.
Grace Bay remains the island's main resort corridor. If your group wants to walk from a hotel room to restaurants, beach service, and shopping, Grace Bay may be the better fit. If your group wants one private home with en-suite bedrooms, a pool, dock access, and room to gather, a Chalk Sound-area villa is the better match — plan to drive for some dinners and activities, then return to a quieter base.
