My wife & I stayed a week at the end of May '13. Not once did we fail to be awestruck by the view. No picture comes close to capturing the panorama - easily 180 degrees. You can see from the West end of Tortola on the left to straight down Francis Drake Channel to the hills on the far side of Coral Bay on the far right. The deck is the best, but every room has a great view. There had been enough rain to keep all the hills bright green. Coffee on the deck in the morning - Wow! what a way to start the day. Couldn't help but relax and be in a good mood looking out at the islands.

The layout of the house is excellent. One bedroom and bath on either side of the central living area provided decent privacy. The main deck runs along the entire house. The kitchen is slightly awkward. Check out the picture. The prep area is a step down in an enclosed "horseshoe". The pantry, fridge, dishes & microwave are up and out of the enclosure. Just took a day or so to get used to it. Being "off the grid" resulted in our first island vacation where we never lost power once. The deck furniture lacks a table suitable for eating a meal (a minor flaw, as the main table inside has almost the same view). You can see houses down the hill, but you really have no neighbors - very private.

The house is very well maintained, very clean and fully equipped (both for living in the house and for the beach), but a little "tired". The flip side, is that if the furniture was new and the kitchen had granite & stainless the rental would easily be twice the price. Did I mention the view? That alone is worth the price. The owners are down the road if a problem pop up - none did.

You must rent a car. Way up the hill (paved roads right to the house, easily navigated at night) with nothing in walking distance. Coral Bay is a 5+ minute drive. Pretty good location for getting to any of the beaches. You will have to drive to Cruz Bay for any decent grocery shopping (Starfish Market was excellent).

Stunning location on the quiet side of the island. Very highly recommended.
