Beautiful spot
Spectacular views Beautiful pool. Very comfortable sleeping quarters and Eva was very accommodating! A wonderful trip and hopefully we’ll go back. That’s the place to stay.
The Castle is Magic
Very comfortable accomodations for 4. Bedrooms well separated. Gorgeous views from the large balcony. Many lovely flowering plants around the house. Quiet and private surroundings.
We had the place to ourselves. Quite, private plan on going back
Went as planned. Eva is great. We had dinner out w her one night. Took my wife to yoga. Seemed like a great friend right away. We miss her!

About Eva Baskin
For 20 years, Eva, and her now late husband Alan, owned and operated Baskin in the Sun, a scuba diving facility in the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Haiti and then Tortola. Currently, Eva is the science lab manager at the local community college HLSCC, in addition to managing Magic Castle as a rental villa. She is active in local eco and conservation groups, such as Reef Check and the Association of Reef Keepers, as well as a member of the college's Green Committee and advisor to the student Environmental Club. Gardening is a hobby she pursues, when there is time! Having spent many years in the tourist industry, she enjoys getting to know the many different guests she hosts, and ensuring they have the best time ever.
Eva Baskin purchased this Villa in 1994
Why Eva Baskin chose East End
Little Bay is a quiet valley with a magnificent and nearly private beach. You may see a dog walker in the early morning or late afternoon, but usually the beach is empty except for weekends, when a few residents may go to chill out. The view from the villa overlooks Guana Island and the Caribbean Sea. Magic Castle was built as our home. At first, the studio apartment below was rented, and my husband and I lived upstairs. Now, as a single, I live in the apartment, and rent the spacious home on the main level. Luckily, it has the location and design that is perfect for a vacation rental! You have complete privacy, but I am nearby if you need me.
What makes this Villa unique
The villa is surrounded by natural woodlands on a 2 1/2 acre gated estate. This not only ensures your privacy, but is a natural habitat for chirping birds and other harmless critters. The night sounds will lull you to sleep! There are watersports facilities, restaurants, grocery stores, and other beaches and activities within 10 mins drive. An island tour will bring you to many beaches, trails on Sage Mountain National Park, marinas with many shops, busy Road Town, and much more. Other BV Islands are accessible by ferry, including Virgin Gorda where a trip to the Baths is a must. The villa is cool, airy, very relaxing, and private.
