Location: Long Point, Nevis, Caribbean (Black Sand Cove; 2 miles South of Charlestown)

Accommodations:  House & Separate Cottage, 3 Bedrooms + Sunroom, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)

Our house and cottage are in a secluded part of this out-of-the-way island, and right on the water, just steps from a private beach. The West Indies-style house features a new kitchen, large screened porch facing the sea, patio looking to the volcano, and a private swimming pool. There are two bedrooms, a sleeping porch, and three baths - plus a sofabed in the living room. The two bedrooms have air-conditioning for warm summer nights.

Local art work complements the home's lovely color scheme. Sitting at the convenient, built-in computer desk with internet access, you will enjoy an expansive view of the sea. The high, vaulted ceilings, traditional wooden awnings, and ceiling fans maximize the cooling Atlantic breezes coming over the mountains behind you.

Temperature highs are in the 80s F year round. Our comprehensive guest information books give recommendations for our favorite restaurants and activities.

The cottage accommodates a couple, or parents with one or two children. It has a delightful decor, and offers a queen-size bed, a sofabed, and complete kitchen facilities. The patio looks out on the mountains, the porch has an 180-degree view of the sea, and the hot tub is set in the beautiful new gardens. Amenities include Internet access, a washer/dryer, and a grill on the patio.

The calendar available on this website refers to the house; since the cottage may rent separately, contact us for availability information.

Julie Toll,winner of 6 Gold Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show in Britainm designed our gardens. They maximize the use of native species, and provide a model of spectacular, yet ecological, landscaping. Secluded on our eight private acres, you will hear only the sounds of nature: the wind in the banana trees, the birds, the crickets, and the waves on the shore of the virtually private beach. (While all beaches are public property on Nevis, the only way to get to this beach is down our stairway.)

The 360-degree views provide fabulous sunrises and sunsets, and the passing spectacle of the changing clouds all day long. This is a great place to get away from it all, and relax, write, paint, play music, or just give your mind a break.

  • My family and I stayed at Black Sand Cove from May 20-30. Not long enough! Our stay there, and our first visit to Nevis, exceeded all of our expectations. When we arrived we were met at the ferry by Adolfo. A lot has been written on this page about Adolfo, but none of it can convey what a truly “nice guy” he is - professional, articulate, warm, friendly, funny, helpful, and he even showed us how to make tea using herbs from the garden. As he drove us to Black Sand Cove my first impression was how private it was. As we approached the house, our very articulate comments were – “OOOO!, Look! The colors! The house! The view! OOOO! Look!”. Those feelings lasted throughout our stay. The house is spacious, warm, inviting. The screened porch offers stunning views and an ocean breeze. Words and pictures can’t convey the beauty of the surrounding property. Several times each day we would walk through the gardens and each time was like the first. Fruit trees, palms, aloes, flowers, humming birds, a sea of colors– and geckos – I love geckos! The grounds need to be seen! We tried to decide what we liked most about Black Sand Cove but our list just keeps growing. The pool, the house, the porch, the gardens, the hammock (my favorite), the beach, the privacy, the outdoor shower facing the gardens and Mt. Nevis (my other favorite), we can’t decide. As I said, our stay was not long enough. We’ll be back again and again.

  • Loved It! We are return visitors to Nevis, and this was our first time staying at Black Sand Cove, but it definitely won’t be our last. When we booked online we were hopeful that Black Sand Cove would be even half as nice as the photos on the website. It was so much better! The photos simply cannot convey the sweeping views of the mountain and sea. The setting was so lovely and peaceful, and the grounds are like a private botanical garden full of flowers, tropical plants, and hummingbirds. The view from the pool is stunning, and you can watch everything from local fishing boats to cruise ships sail by. It’s worth getting up early for the sunrises, and the peepers will announce when it’s time for a Caribbean sunset. The house was very comfortable, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed. After a walk along the coast road, a hike up through the rainforest in Gingerland, or touring around the island, simply cool off in the pool, or head down a few steps to the private volcanic black sand beach. There’s also a new pretty tiled outdoor shower. Even with guests in the Cottage, we felt like we were in our own Nevisian paradise. It’s easy to get around, the Users' Guide has loads of suggestions and information, and if you need anything Adolfo is very welcoming and helpful, but also ever mindful of your privacy.

  • Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise. It was like staying at your own private resort. The grounds and views are amazing. We enjoyed the pool during the day and screened porch at night. We cooked and ate on the back patio with the awesome view of Mt. Nevis. This was a very much needed quiet and relaxing vacation. I would recommend BSC to anyone who wants to escape to paradise. Adolfo is amazing. He gives you all the privacy you need, but when you do need him, just give him a call and he is right there to help with anything.

  • This was the most relaxing vacation the girls and I have ever spent. On day 2 we decided we needed to come back to Black Sand Cove. All I can say - this is truly paradise. And... Adolfo is a gem!

  • My Wife Betsy and I had a wonderful time. Just what the Dr. ordered very relaxing. We just loved Nevis' sleepy demeanor. Loved the Bar B Que at the Water Dept. Loved the lobster Sunshines and really more than anything loved chilling at the house with some Carib or CSR and Cranberry. Looking forward to coming back.

  • Joy: We loved the beautifully planted grounds, the quiet of the house, the fact that just about all of our needs seemed to be anticipated: that there were plenty of towels, lots of books and puzzles, information about the history of the island, the info in the User's Guide, a clothes line with clothes pins as well as washer and dryer, well-equipped kitchen. We especially liked the way that Adolfo immediately helped us to take care of getting Jeff a driver's license, and having the option of a car that didn't come from a rental agency was so convenient. One thing we really liked that was unexpected - the artwork in the house. It's lovely, and suits the house so well. Jeff: The thing I appreciated most of all was the quiet - there were no impediments to relaxation, for much of the time there were no phones, no TV, no cars, no airplanes, no lawnmowers, no voices even - just the birds and the wind and the sea. I couldn't have imagined anything like it. I had brought my IPod along, and did use it a few times with the nice connection that was provided to the house's stereo, but although I normally have music playing all the time, I found it to be an intrusion at Black Sand Cove - the wind and the surf were more than enough. I'm sure you hear this from every one of your guests, but I'll repeat it anyway - your caretaker Adolfo is such an asset - friendly, helpful to a fault, accessible, and a pleasure to meet and get to know a little. Don't ever let him get away!

  • I think my husband described it best when he compared being at Black Sand Cove to the scene in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and her fellow travelers arrive in the Emerald City to find everything suddenly drenched in color. The gardens and house are graceful arrangements of color and light- the ocean on one side and Mt. Nevis in the distance on the other. We swam, snorkeled with Barbara Whitman, hiked with Jim Johnson,ate the freshest fish,Adlofo cut open a coconut for us!This was a wonderful experience for our kids and my husband and me. I wish we were back right now!

  • Just returned from a wonderful week spent at Black Sand Cove, We traveled with our 2 children ages 9 and 13 and my Mother in law (had the cottage all to herself)and wish we had booked a little more time. It was very hard to leave! The property really is more beautiful than the website shows. Every day we discovered a new path to walk on, found a few turtle eggs on the beach and had a hard time getting away from the pool. We stayed in a hotel last year while visiting Nevis but enjoyed this beautiful home so much better. The kitchen is very well equiped. The charoal grill on the back patio was great and Adolfo was a sweetheart. Counting the days till we return!

  • My husband and I have just returned from a truly wonderful week at Black Sand Cove. The house and grounds were even more lovely in person, even though the website is well done and very accurate. We both have a love of peace and quiet, water and gardening. Black Sand Cove and the island of Nevis fit these perfectly. We took more pictures of hummingbirds and geckos and all the natural beauty that surrounds Black Sand Cove and let's don't forget the beautiful Caribbean waters. We have been on many lovely island inspired vacations and this one is definitely at the top and we will be back in the very near future. Lastly, there are no words for Adolfo he is priceless. The people of Nevis were also very warm. We had many excellent meals. By all means check out the Botanical Gardens and have lunch at the Tea House.
