  My husband & I stayed here for our honeymoon! He picked the location out all on his own & it could not have been a better decision! The location was wonderful and the house was exceptional!! Donna was wonderful with giving us our own space but at the sametime being available for suggestions for anything we could come up with! She was also willingly to call and make reservations for us for anything we wanted to do. The entire exeperience was wonderful & my husband & I keep talking about when we can get back!

  My wife and I stayed at Sterling House for our Honeymoon. This was a big decision and we were concerned that the property would not live up to our high expectations. I am happy to say that Sterling House exceeded all of our expectations. The property is as amazing as the pictures, if not more so. The house and beach are private without being isolated. Donna (the property owner) does a great job acting as your personal guide to the islands and all of her recommendations were spot on. We will be back and highly recommend Sterling House to anyone looking for a 5 star villa.

  Sterling House is quite literally a piece of Heaven on Earth! The decor was amazing (Present but not gaudy) and added to a wonderful island retreat. Service was impeccable and never was there any problem with a single thing. Without any doubt Sterling House will be a place we will return to repeatedly. An amazing experience provided by amazing people!!

  My family and I stayed at this amazing and pristine home on the corner of picturesque Long Bay Beach. From the moment we booked online to the first steps in the door, owner Donna had everything we could ask for at this wonderful home. The villa is spacious and modern with all the amenities you would need to relax by the sea. We woke up to wonderful sunrises and sat on the deck to watch beautiful sunsets and even had double rainbows on some days. The weather was fantastic, the location perfect and you often were in awe just watching beautiful boats travel by through the neighboring islands. You can cook in and Donna can have all your groceries arrive from Bobby's Market before you arrive. All you need to do is sit and relax and take in the magnificent views and walk the superb beach. If you prefer not to cook, you can go to the neighboring hotel at Long Bay Beach Resort which has a fantastic Sunday Brunch. Or you can take a taxi to the nearby restaurants which are all itemized in a book that Donna has in the Villa. The Villa is ideally situated near Smugglers Cove which you can take a short walk to and snorkel in the beautiful water and/or drive there and get a quick bite from some of the local vendors who cook on the beach. A car is not necessary at the Villa but we rented one for a few days and went as far as Marina Cay for a boat/snorkel trip for lunch. Cane Garden Bay (Myett's) as well as Banakeet on Windy Hill had amazing views and both were superb spots for a drink and a bite to eat. Donna will coordinate a rental car, charter a sailboat and/or even have a private chef cook at her villa for you. We had the opportunity to do all three and all the recommendations that Donna gave were exceptional. This was a trip that I will never forget and I often think of this beautiful home by the sea and hope to be back soon to hear those wonderful waves that would often lull me to sleep.

  My wife and I visited Sterling House in Tortola during the first week of March 2012. We typically stay at 5 star resorts, but we wanted more privacy, and so took a chance on Sterling House in Tortola. We were not disappointed! The Sterling House has two beautiful bedrooms with on-suite bathrooms. The bedrooms are separated by a living/kitchen/eating great room. There is a doorway from one of the bathrooms to a private dipping pool. The entire place is like new and spotlessly clean. The furniture and decor are top notch, very clean, and islandesque. The king size bed was very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms have large walk-in stone showers and first-class vanities. The kitchen has a full-size fridge, gas oven & cooktop, dishwasher, with everything you will need and there is a propane grill outside. Every room has a ceiling fan. All of the rooms have pocket glass doors with screens that fully open up to the sea, which is just feet away. There are also automated roll-down shutters on these same doors. There is comfortable patio furniture for watching the sunset or eating lunch. There is a stone table below the patio for enjoying time closer to the waves breaking on the rocks. It has its own private entrance and a private walk & steps to the beach. Donna the homeowner & Jeannie the cleaning lady are a phone call away to take care of any needs. There is a nice stereo system with an ipod doc, a flat screen television with cable, free wireless internet service, & free local phone calls. There is a restaurant within walking distance on the beach that serves good steak & plays live music Friday nights. The view of the beach is perfect from the patio. The villa (as it is called), beach, dipping pool, cooking-in, or dining-out options, and service by Donna & Jeannie are all 5-star. Also, the native islanders are friendly and the beaches are not crowded, especially at Long Bay. You will not find a better place to stay in the BVI than at Sterling House!

  Well, the Sterling House is in another league. If you are looking for one of the most amazing places to spend a week, look no further. We had an amazing time. Can't say enough good things about this place. Perfect location on the private beach, amazing sunsets and views. Private pool that basically sits almost in the ocean. The sounds of the waves at night was amazing.

  With an absolutely indelible view of the ocean, naturalistic landscape, and gorgeous sunsets the Sterline House offers peace, serenity, privacy and tranquility on this awesome island of Tortola. perched on the north end of Long Bay, the villa sports two very upscale comfortable master bedrooms along with a common area containing a kitchen, living room and sporting awesome views of the ocean and neighboring islands. The main master bedroom includes a shower area nearly the size of a hotel room with open access to the semi-private pool which looks out onto the ocean. Beach chairs and rafts are included in the stay and make for the feeling of home. BQ chicken and great rum punch await on the beach at Smuggler's Cove - an absolute must. Snorkelling is great and water extremely calm at Marina Cay - a must visit. Take Ridge road to capture the beautiful vistas.

  The Sterling House was everything we envisioned it to be and more. After surfing the web for the perfect destination to celebrate our 40th anniversary, we came upon the Sterling House. We were hooked the minute we saw the pictures and read the positive reviews. We contacted the owner, Donna Sterling ,and made our reservations for 10 days in mid May. Each night we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean and awoke to a beautiful sunrise and ocean breezes. Upon our arrival, we turned to Donna for advice on places to dine,shop, etc. etc. We followed her recommendations with absolutely no regrets. Our beachfront villa was indeed a 5 star. We were greeted by travertine, granite, luxurious bed linen, and spectacular views of what we could call "a private and secluded beach". The villa lacked nothing; very upscale and exceeded our high expectations. It was everything we dreamed it would be. Our stay there made us feel like the "Rich and Famous". Our days were filled with beauty, privacy, romance and limitless opportunities. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Sugar Mill Restaurant which was very close in proximity to the villa. The ambience was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Add to that excellent food and great service making our special day all the more special !! A couple more restaurants we would highly recommend were Sebastian's and Bananakeet; great food and service. Donna made our car rental arrangements for us. That in itself saved us time and money. We booked a snorkel excursion on the Lionheart as recommended and shopped at Soper's Hole Wharf, a must see when visiting beautiful Tortola. We took the ferry over to Virgin Gorda where we spent a good part of one day at the Baths and Devil's Bay. Each new day brought another adventure. We would definitely recommend The Sterling House. Having traveled to many other stellar destinations, we were most impressed with this one. Donna was delightful. Her housekeeper, Jeannie, was also most helpful. We were welcomed with open arms and departed with tears and promises of keeping in touch. Our beautiful memories will live on. It's our plan to someday return to the The Sterling House. Yes, yes, yes...........it was a trip of a lifetime for us.

  I was literally squirming in my seat on the airplane, waiting to get home to write this review!!!! Spent a week in Sterling House for our 10th anniversary, just my husband and myself and it couldn't have been more perfect! I will make this simple, there is NO other place on the island you will want to be, it is simply as fabulous as the previous reviews...hint hint, that many people can't be wrong! It is unbelievable on all accounts.... location, view, amenities, opulence, layout, privacy and not to mention DONNA! Ask and ye shall receive, the lady knows absolutely anything you want to know about the island and saved us valuable time and money searching endlessly for various things such as rental car companys , restaurants, boat rentals and Dive Operators and all information given with a smile and spot on. All this and you would never know she was there if you didn't ask, except of course for the fresh flowers which magically appeared every few days upon our arrival to the villa after excursions. I am so thankful for all of the other reviews given for this rental and am even more thankful that I took their advice. Seriously, villa is so beautiful, everything top of the line, no expense spared in this place.. should be in magazines! Best Vacation Ever!

  We travel a lot, especially the Caribbean, and we found this to be one of the most outstanding places to stay. First of all, Donna and Wayne, the owners who live above the first floor rental villa, are the nicest, most accommodating hosts EVER. Donna ishelps you arrange your food delivery, rental car - whatever you need! The villa is immaculate and on one of the most stunning beaches in Tortola. Just steps away is a cabana hotel where you can go for breakfast or lunch if you don't want to cook and just down the beach is this really cool, "Gilligan's Island style" bar called Nature Boy's that is one of the funkiest "must see" sights in the BVI's. Everything about Sterling Villa is perfect. The beds are really comfortable, the AC is great (if you need it) the bathrooms are huge and the entire villa is designed with quality and style in mind - from the Wifi, to the appliances, to the furnishings. They have marvelous remote controlled shutters open the windows for light and/or natural ventilation, a private pool dedicated to just the rental villa, pristine beach and a choice of beach chairs/loungers, beach towels, toys - you name it! Thanks to Donna, when you arrive, your grocery/beverage order has already been delivered and put away in your kitchen. VRBO renters - you know how nice it is not to have to grocery shop as the first thing you do when you arrive at your destination!! Within very short driving distance from Sterling Villa are excellent restaurants, the "infamous"and very cool Bomba Shack Bar and the shops in Long Bay/Soper's Hole. So you don't have to drive around all of Tortola to have great food and fun or find what you need. We can't say enough good things about our stay at Sterling Villa. We highly recommend it and especially love the fact that the owners, Donna and Wayne, do everything they can to make your stay the most enjoyable and memorable ever, without getting in your way. Thank you Donna and Wayne for such a wonderful week! Shannon and Vince
