The house and view is amazing. Short walk to the beach and some amazing restaurants. house had many amenities including outdoor shower, great AC, towels, and fully stocked kitchen. Cannot recommend this place enough! The only word of warning (and this isn’t the owner’s issue) is customs asked us for a local phone number which was so odd. Thankfully they let us through after a few awkward minutes. Owner was responsive when I reached out to her.

Gorgeous property

We stayed for three nights and were sad to leave. An absolutely stunning location, with short walks to multiple beaches. The local restaurants were top notch, but with a fully appointed kitchen, we could have easily made all our own meals. It was definitely a worthwhile visit.

Amazing slice of heaven on Tortola

Lovely villa offering ample group and private space. Easy access to north shore beaches including nearby Long Bay and Smugglers Cove. Close to West End Ferry or an easy 30 minute drive to Road Town and an hour to the airport. Love this area of the island.

Gorgeous views!

Our favorite place to get away! This was our second time staying at the same property and it was just as beautiful as we remembered. Very clean. Can’t get any better than the view from here. We love the beaches nearby as well! The host was great to coordinate with and made it very easy.

Deeply relaxing!

The villa is spacious and comfortable with an unbeatable view of the sea from a breezy veranda and one of the best equipped rental kitchens I've seen. you can walk down the hill for a quick dip or drive to other beaches from snorkeling etc. we loved our stay! A bit buggy but this may be unavoidable in the tropical and was worth it for all the perks.

Tropical retreat

A brief but very enjoyable stay! Loved the property and the views! The kitchen provided everything we needed and the AC in the bedrooms was a lovely reprieve from the heat of the day. Mosquitos and sandflies were a bit pesky but manageable.

Very clean and beautiful views! Close drive to beaches but driving can be interesting. Definitely need 4 Wheel drive or at least be comfortable driving on narrow, unimproved roads. Overall very nice stay with great views.

Just as beautiful as the pictures

We had a wonderful stay here in Tortola. The location was great. The condo is walking distance (steep hill) to one beautiful beach and a very short drive to another. The rooms were comfortable. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms but with the breeze the rest of the apartment felt okay. The deck was absolutely perfect!

Paradise in the BVIs

Gorgeous property and such a beautiful view! Walkable to Long Bay Beach and Smuggler’s Cove. You can also walk to a couple restaurants and bars. It is hilly and remote so be prepared to walk or drive the hilly roads. Would stay here again!

This is a lovely house within a short walk to one beach and a 20 minute walk to another. Swimming was wonderful in both of them. The kitchen has everything we needed. Lovely views from the deck. Very responsive owner. Good wifi.

Property was very nice. Somewhat secluded from restaurants and stores so you'll need transportation. A/C is ONLY in the bedrooms; the bleed out into the main living spaces is minimal.

Excellent island getaway

For us the location was just what we were looking for. It is a bit remote if you're looking for lots of activities within walking distance. But if you are looking for a laid back relaxing time it might be perfect for you. There are 2 beaches and 2 very nice restaurants on the water that are within walking distance. We took advantage of both. The views from the property are truly stunning. The villa had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Mostly great!

The location is great, short distances to the beech. However, with the rough terrain it is a must to have a vehicle to get around. The bedrooms are air conditioned, the rest of the house are uncomfortably hot to the point it is difficult to just hang out in the main living space, and very uncomfortable to use the kitchen, the property managers were great though, absolutely wonderful people .

Perfect Villa for our BVI adventure

Second trip to the BVI but first with teens and first time at a villa. Booked this villa for its proximity to Smugglers, our favorite spot, as well as to east end and Nanny Cay. This villa had everything we needed for our stay. Three bedrooms with AC were very comfortable. No AC in the living areas but it was fine in the evenings with breezes and we were not around during the day. Location and views were perfection.

Lovely townhouse villa with beautiful views

Lovely townhouse villa-very well appointed and organized. Beautiful views and quiet location not far from some nice dining options and pretty beaches. Thank goodness for the most comfortable mattress and ceiling fans. We arrived in the dark after a long, long day of travel and I would not recommend that as it is very dark there (few street lights) but with the owner's exact directions (with photos) after a few mis-steps we found it. We especially felt the villa was well cared for and thoughtfully furnished. We were just a couple but it would be a great place for a family.

Room with a View

The accommodations were exactly as described. The location was great to our new favorite beach, Smugglers. Being close to Sebastian's was a definite plus. The only suggestion is that it would have been nice to have the unit cooled down prior to our arrival as it was very hot the first night. After that it was fine though. Angela was very good to work with. I would definitely recommend staying here to friends and family (and return ourselves).
