We found this beautiful house after our flights were cancelled coming out of BVI to the states. The soonest we could get out was going to be another 4 days, so this was available. And we are so glad it was! Beautiful view of the ocean, two very roomy and private bedrooms and a kitchen and comfortable living room. Cleanliness was off the charts! The staff bent over backwards to help us while we were here, any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. I can’t recommend it enough!!!

Great location and house on Tortola

Just home from Blackbeards Hideaway and we had a great time. The villa's location on Steele Point at the West End is exceptional allowing for great views and watching boats pass through the channel. The layout of the house is very nice with two full master suites separated by a wonderful kitchen and living area. Overall a great place to spend time in the BVI's.

This property on Tortola is truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the owner and her team made us feel completely taken care of. Their warmth, professionalism, and responsiveness were exceptional throughout our entire stay.The villa itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and perfectly positioned to capture stunning ocean views. The outdoor living space and pool area are something special — peaceful, private, and incredibly relaxing. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the breeze and the view. The outdoor showers felt like a luxury spa experience and were such a unique touch.The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need; we cooked at the villa most evenings and never felt we were missing a thing. It truly felt like a home, not just a rental.Housekeeping came every other day to tidy the property, which made the experience feel even more effortless and indulgent. Any questions or needs we had were addressed immediately — the responsiveness was truly above and beyond.This is one of those rare places that exceeds expectations. We left relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our return. We will absolutely be back!

Great Space for Unwinding

My wife and I have been to at least a dozen high-end VRBO rentals. This one surpasses all the others by leaps and bounds! Tremendous in all ways: deck, pool, interior, beds. A special shout out to the caretakers Astley and Charmaine who were both friendly and very helpful, making our stay that much more enjoyable. While it was just my wife and me staying at "Blackbeard's Hideaway", it would also be great for a family of four or two couples. We had a wonderful vacation!

Breathtaking view! If you are looking for seclusion and amazing views, this is the place for you.

The property was breathtaking. Everytime we entered, the veiw took our breath away. Very private and gorgeous. Irina, the owner, was very helpful. We loved Fish N Lime down the hill, that is the only restaurant we went to, two nights in a row, very good. The rest of the time, we cooked. My husband caught a fish off the dock and we had it for dinner one night. Must rent a vehicle. We used DEDES, had an issue in the beginning but they made it right with us. Long Bay and Cane Bay were the two beaches we visited. Very nice. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded, relaxing vacation!

Perfection!!

My husband and I wanted a relaxing, secluded vacation for our anniversary, and that’s exactly what we got. The villa was truly perfect! The house had everything we needed. The outside was picture perfect with gorgeous landscaping all around. The path down to the dock was such a fun touch! While we were there, Tortola had a fairly significant rainstorm. Other people on the island lost power and even had to leave, but we never lost power and felt safe staying. Two people even came to check on us the next day and gave us the road conditions so we didn’t have to worry about not being able to make it down the hill. This was definitely one of our favorite trips we’ve ever taken. We would absolutely return to this villa in the future. Our one regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

The happiest place on earth.

We spent a week at Blackbeard’s Hideaway in early November. From the stunning views to the well-stocked kitchen, this is the perfect BVI getaway for two couples. The bedrooms are two virtually identical master suites at opposite ends of the house. The layout gives everyone plenty of room and privacy. Ashley, Charmaine and Irina were the consummate hosts and took such good care of us. We spent the last morning of our stay planning a return trip.

Magnificent breathtaking views in a very peaceful and private estate. Fabulous layout for 2 couples!

We were two couples who had never traveled together before. We loved the house and the privacy we were both afforded. Identical size bedrooms with wonderful furnishings. No one felt they got a bedroom of lesser quality. The floor plan was absolutely ideal. Housekeeper was both personable and professional. The villa was spotless and inviting.

The villa is extraordinary, with a large common area with comfortable seating. entertainment center and high end kitchen. The bedrooms are at opposite ends of the villa, each with a king-size bed and en suite bath and wonderful private outdoor shower. The villa is situated on Steele Point Estate at the very West end of Tortola, and faces onto Sir Francis Drake Channel (see picture). The deck has seating for entertaining guests and dinner.

Spectacular Villa and Setting

Perched on a hilltop with an expansive water view, this villa delivers a vacation to be remembered. An open plan floods the interior with light and gentle breezes. The show of boats parading by, from sun up to sun down, cannot be beat. The furnishings are elegant, the beds extremely comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with quality cooking supplies, including every spice you could ever want. The pool was the perfect temperature and the outdoor shower pure heaven. This place exceeds expectations in every way.

About the host

Hosted by Lucienne Smith

Host profile image

In 1968 Irene and her late husband Stuart, both aged 20, honeymooned on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. The rest is history... In the early 80's they introduced their young children to not just St. John but the US and British Virgin Islands. Although the dream was to move to St. John and begin a new life in paradise,.that was not to be after the passing of Stuart. It was not until 2000 that Irene, and her daughter Christine, and son Justin, together purchased the 8 acre peninsular estate known as Steele Point. Since then a new extended family.has come to be - 6 children and 8 grandchildren!

Why they chose this property

Steele Point Estate is perhaps one of the most unique, and stunningly picturesque, properties anywhere in the world. The property encompasses the entire Western Peninsula of the Island of Tortola. The estate is exclusively private, with three homes, all with magnificent views and unique tropical open architectural styles. Quite simply it was a most intriguing opportunity for the family to own not just a piece of paradise in the British Virgin Islands, but also one of the most impressive properties anywhere in the world.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Oh and did we mention the view? The peninsula itself is one of the many headlands that make up the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Beyond the channel is picturesque St. John however, the view from Blackbeard's is of the 7,000+ acres of undeveloped National Park. If the aforementioned views were not enough, from Blackbeard's you can also see BVI National Parks, Great Thatch Island, Sandy Cay, and Sandy Spit along with eight other islands. Another unique feature of this property is living on the very peninsula where quite literally the Atlantic and Caribbean converge. Furthermore being part of the Steele Point Estate this villa is directly in the center of not just the U.S. or BVI, but all the Virgin Islands. Everything wonderful that the Virgin Islands has to offer is equidistant and easily accessible. Lastly, because the peninsula is a gated estate you have the privacy of a private island, but the convenience of being on BVI's main island.
