COASTIN' A-LONG - bright & breezy Caribbean vibes above beautiful Long Bay

With perfect azure views from just about every room (and outdoor areas), Coastin' A-Long provides the dream setting for a vacation. Floating in the pool & gazing at islands in the sparkling ocean never gets old.

The surroundings may be totally tranquil but the villa sits in the exclusive hillside estate of Long Bay, just a few mins drive from the white-sand beach & handful of beachfront bars & restaurants below.

Remember to follow our socials @villasoftortola for all things BVI!

🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
This villa feels lovely & fresh with beachy Caribbean decor lifting your mood in every room.

The open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area are filled with air and sunlight and make for a very sociable space. There's plenty of comfy seating in the living area and a 40'' Smart TV (if you can bear to look away from those views). The modern kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel appliances for self-catering (including dishwasher - no one wants to be washing up on vacation!). There's a choice of indoor dining areas - a breakfast bar with high stools or a dining table for 6.

🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
The villa offers three bedrooms each a king bed, their own bathroom and direct access to outdoor spaces and sweeping ocean views, so no arguing over bedrooms necessary!

Bedrooms 1 and 2 are upstairs in the main house and offer similarly stunning views (bedroom 1 has an ensuite bathroom, bedroom 2 has it's own bathroom accessed from the landing. They both have floor-to-ceiling glass doors which slide open onto a shared balcony the width of the house, complete with comfy lounger and sofa. The perfect morning coffee spot.

The Captains Quarters (bedroom 3) is in a separate pavilion at the end of the pool deck. This bedroom is it's own little sanctuary, with huge floor-to ceiling glass doors framing the deep blue ocean and sky, & your own private outdoor shower!

☀️ OUTDOOR AREAS:
The French doors in the living room open onto a wrap around deck and create a wide-open living space with covered alfresco dining table and plenty of comfortable outdoor furniture for lounging by the pool. There's a built-in propane BBQ for grilling up some local fish or lobster.

The villa's tranquil surroundings offer peace and quiet to read a book on the deck, enjoy a cocktail, or fall asleep to the majestic view of the Atlantic. The turquoise pool just begs you to take a dip - unwinding has never been so easy.

There is also a magnificent wall to the back of the villa with local planting of shrubs and flowers.

GETTING HERE
✈️ TERRANCE B. LETTSOME AIRPORT (EIS) (50 MIN DRIVE) is on Beef Island in the East End of Tortola (connected by bridge). It’s the only airport on Tortola and where you'll fly into.

⛴️ WEST END FERRY HARBOUR (10 MIN DRIVE) The closest place to catch a ferry to connect you to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas & St John) and fellow BVI Jost Van Dyke

🚗 Although there are ferries to connect you to other islands, the public transport in Tortola is basically non-existent and there’s so much to go and see but taxis add up quickly. Tortola is only 12 miles long by 3 miles at its widest, but it’s a mountainous island and the roads can be quite rugged. We can help you to reserve a 4WD SUV or direct you to recommended local car rental companies who understand that good 4WD vehicles are mandatory to explore with confidence. They can offer delivery to your port of entry or villa (we can help organise you a taxi to take you to the property) & carry a selection of cars & jeeps. Jerrys Car Rental is the easiest car rental company to work with online.
