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.

Sterline House - A Trip To Remember

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.

Celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary at the Spectacular Sterling House........

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!

A Must Stay Place in Tortola

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

One always anticipates their dream vacatrion to perfection and when it finallly happens it never fulfills your image of a perfect place. I want to thank you for your presentation of a Paradise place to stay for it actually was a "perfect place to stay". The accomodations of a charming island retreat on the water gave us spectacular sunsets and soft ocean breezes that made one sleep like a baby at night. We especially love walking the beach every morning, a perfect way to start the day. We could not rave enough to our friends when they asked us how we enjoyed our vaction. Our response was we spent a week in Paradies. The only complaint we have is having to come back to reality but we are willing and wanting to do it again and again. Next time I read a romantic book or see a movie with an island setting especially one with a happy ending I will thing of whoever wrote it must have stayed at the "Sterling House looking forward to returning next year, the Clarks from Georgia.

My husband I spent a week with our two teenage kids at the Sterling House in Tortola and I have to say it was one of our best vacations ever! The house is set up perfect for a family. The size of the villa was also perfect since it cleaned up quickly and was very easy to keep neat. Jeanie helped clean three times and that worked out well for us. The villa is stunning and even more beautiful than the pictures (if you can imagine that!). The attention to detail was amazing and the views are unbelievable, my husband and I pinched ourselves a couple of times to make sure we weren't dreaming! The beach is great and one of the best ones we found in Tortola. Smugglers Cove is about 5 min via car and that was another fabulous beach...Oh the smell of bbq chicken cooking on the grill while soaking up the sun....so good! Donna recommended great restaurants and things to do, just plain good advice. She really knows her stuff and wants your vacation to be the best ever and will do whatever she can to help with that! Her and Wayne were so hospitable we are glad we had a chance to get to know them and look forward to a long friendship! We feel very lucky that we came across the Sterling House and had a chance to stay there, we highly recommend it. I can't say enough good things about it, we will definitely be back and many thanks to Wayne and Donna for creating such a paradise!

My wife and 2 girls returned from Long Bay and Sterling House after a week’s stay to the terrible Northeast winter. I miss this immaculate villa and truly gracious hosts [Donna and Wayne Sterling.] Where to start – Donna followed through on every naïve question I had regarding what to bring; what to provision; what to expect, etc with the patience that can only be described as “saintly” as in retrospect you need little more than shorts, flip flops and suntan lotion – she’s too polite to have said this – but next year I will know better. The villa is completely modern and immaculate in both in cleanliness and attention to construction detail – there is nothing that appears in the pictures that isn’t exactly as it is in reality. Your proximity [10 feet] and view of the ocean are unparallel plus the convenience of restaurants [and bars] within walking distance is a plus. [We rented a car for the week – which Donna, through her connections, arranged to have delivered to the villa – but you could get away without a car if you don’t mind some walks.] Nature Boy beach bar -- .3 miles; Smuggler’s Cover -- .75 miles … even Soper’s Hole is only 3 miles one way [I ran it – it’s hilly] Surfing – there are at least 2 breaks within walking distance; there is also a natural swimming line almost directly in front of the villa but even when the surf was up [like it was while we were there] my kids still used boogie boards and played in the waves – no problem. I could go on and on – but what’s the point? You will need to experience it yourself. If I am really being honest, I must admit that I hesitated to write this review as I fear that the villa will be “unavailable” upon my return next year – but, I feel it’s the least I can do for Donna and Wayne – we will certainly be back to Sterling House and look forward to seeing our “new” friends Donna and Wayne – thank you again for your hospitality!

We just returned from spending a week at Sterling House with another couple after a week of sailing thru the BVIs. To come off a boat and end up at this villa was beyond our expectations for comfort, convenience, great location, and wonderful hosts! Donna and Wayne were there to greet us, and give us a tour. The villa was immaculate and the location could not have been better. We toured the whole island during our week and decided that finding Sterling House was a dream come true! The beach was so beautiful, clean and very private. The accomodations were outstanding and ideal for 2 couples. jeanie, the housekeeper, was a sweetheart and very flexible to meet our needs. Donna gave us great tips on the best places to get groceries, eat out, shop, snorkel, etc. Everything she advised us was 100% accurate. The Sugar Mill and Banankeet Cafe were our favorites places to dine that were close by. We loved having Smuggler's Cove within a short drive or walking distance away as a great snorkeling spot but having the pool and ocean right outside our villa door was the best of both worlds. We will definitely try to go back to this end of Tortola and there is only one place to stay......Sterling House!

Our family of four - 2 parents, 2 kids ages 12 and 18 - visited Sterling House in June 2010 and found it even better than described. It is spectacularly situated on a quiet (at least when we were there) beach close to several other lovely secluded beaches and some very good restaurants. The owner, Donna Sterling, was so hospitable, helpful and tuned into our particular needs. When we arrived, she immediately went the extra mile to obtain the right cable channel for us to watch the World Cup. She struck just the right balance between providing advice and assistance on the one hand and privacy on the other. We would definitely like to return, the sooner the better.
