Virgin Gorda's Mahoe Bay and its long, quiet sandy beach is the most beautiful, restorative, and peaceful ocean living I have ever experienced. Loblolly is perfect - a well-designed luxurious villa. I spend about two weeks at Loblolly every year with wife and family, but it's large enough for several families all at once. There are four idyllic master bedrooms with king size beds and private bathrooms, each with its own outdoor shower, and a pair of bedrooms for kids. The pool is surrounded by a lounging area and all the tropical foliage you could want. When we're in the house and not at the beach, we're almost always outside on the shaded upper patio which is large enough for at least twelve people to lounge, eat, drink, grill, and watch the spectacular sunset over the ocean. There's also a spacious, comfortable great room just inside as well as a very nice kitchen. And you have to experience the beach to believe it's real: quiet, sandy, and beautiful. The water is warm, calm, and crystal clear so the swimming is fantastic, as is the snorkeling along the coral reef where we see parrot fish, squid, and sea turtles just to name a few. Mahoe Bay is near the center of the island, so, via car, we're about ten minutes from anywhere on the island. What else? Management is friendly and always available, and they keep the house looking great all the time. Loblolly is really amazing.
