About this property

Great House Villa

Great House Villa is located on Sandy Ground Estates on the quiet east side of Jost Van Dyke, overlooking several smaller islands and cays (Sandy Cay, Sandy Spit, Green Cay, Little Jost Van Dyke). The entire villa is air conditioned. Your arrival to the villa will ideally be via water taxi or ferry and is the beginning of a memorable and relaxing vacation.

You will be met at Sandy Ground by Saga, our caretaker who will assist you with your luggage and provisions to the Villa. From here you will encounter far reaching views, welcoming ocean breezes and a serene sense that all your troubles are all far behind you. Saga will offer you concierge service should you need to make any reservations, feel like some local cuisine, or enquire about anything local on the island.

The two story guest house consists of 2 bedrooms each with a kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom, each with their own entrance. A living room upstairs with dining area, TV, DVD's, etc. Both bedrooms and living room have a/c. Each bedroom has a large wrap-around deck with 2 rocking chairs. The living room opens up onto to the pool deck with sun loungers and bbq, which is only steps to the quaint Caribbean kitchen with colorful wooden shutters. The kitchen is fully stocked with modern appliances. The swimming pool overlooks the ocean and has a "martini seat" for those wishing to stay cool while sipping on cocktails.

Wander through the tropical gardens to a viewing deck near the water's edge where a private copper bathtub is ready for you if you wish to bathe in the open air while watching the boats sail by.

A dinghy is available to those who wish to discover the surrounding inlets and beaches. A fee of $50 per day is charged for use of the dinghy. Please let the owner know if you wish to make use of this service.

Two double kayaks are available for our guests to enjoy.

Provisioning must be done ahead of arrival. You should arrive with all your groceries, or arrange to have them delivered. Please read the house notes once you have made contact with the owner. You can purchase a few emergency supplies in Great Harbor.

Great House Villa is your ideal getaway. This rental is suitable for a romantic escape or honeymoon, as well as a family and friends vacation.

The owners sometimes stay in the separate main house, however you will have sole use of the swimming pool during your stay and privacy is assured.

About the host

Hosted by Cathryn Hempel

Host profile image
In 2003 we purchased a house on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. We have since completed extensive renovations, creating what is now a beautiful luxury vacation home, with lots of added creature comforts to ensure that being on an out-island doesn't necessarily mean roughing it. Our main form of transportation to and from the villa is by boat (or ferry), which creates an exciting and diverse lifestyle. Much of the house was renovated after Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Why they chose this property

Jost Van Dyke is the perfect place to have a vacation rental. The island is frequented by a multitude of sailboats and charter yachts on a daily basis and has some world class beaches and beach bars. Vacationers come from far and wide to sail our waters and soak up the relaxed atmosphere on the beaches of Jost.

What makes this property unique

Snorkeling the waters below our property offers some wonderful sightings of sea life. For the more adventurous, visiting the deserted beaches of nearby islands and cays on the dinghy creates memories that will live with you forever. Sipping cocktails on the pool deck while the sun sets over the ocean and the pelicans swoop for their supper, one is inclined to believe that life can't get any better. Getting on a boat to transport us to and from the property is truly unique. Personally, my favorite time of the day is sunrise, when I get to spend some quiet time doing yoga on the deck.
