Tortola Adventure! Stop Now = Easier Vacation$
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Little Apple Bay
NJ rooted, beautiful in summer, nitemare in winter and no ski slopes in sight! Welcome to Tortola, the Endless Summer we rarely get to enjoy back in Jersey...!
We fell for the Caribe vibes and view, and we thought we were gentlemen surfers...now we just fix things!! And this house, this hill, this island, this place needs sharing with anyone who can get there!!!
The Unique Benefits at this Vacation/holiday house
Share our dream. We've enjoyed a dream, and though not a 'dream' home...it is a dream come true...
Most yearn for a home in the tropics, few ever get that far, we want to share our vision of it with all, and try to preserve a little piece of our better nature at the same time...
Don't ever give up visions or dreams...
