We feel so lucky to have stayed here and highly recommend you do the same! The villa is even prettier than it looks in the photos. Every room has large sliding doors that open up to amazing ocean views and outdoor space. The property is private, quiet, and very clean. The kitchen is well-supplied...we cooked 1-2 meals a day and had everything needed.
Villas of Tortola provided a very high level of service. Sharlene answered all of our questions beforehand, giving us suggestions for grocery delivery, rental cars, and equipment rentals. Our deliveries were unpacked and organized before our arrival. Sharlene and Shaniece met us at the ferry with our rental car and even led us to the house so we wouldnât get lost. They also provided a cleaning service during our stay, which wasnât expected. We made a last-minute decision on our last full day to charter a boat to snorkel at the Indians and Norman Island Caves. We couldnât find anyone with availability, until we called Sharlene and she arranged a charter within an hour. We did find that texted questions got quicker response than email inquiries.
Walk to Beach: The house is very close to the only access road, so it takes about 5 minutes to walk down to the beach. The hill is steep and uneven but shouldnât be a problem for most people. If you have a sturdy car, like a jeep you could drive down in seconds.
Beach: It felt like we had our own private beach. Besides running into a couple of people walking the beach in the mornings, it was empty. The water was warm and clear and the sand was soft and smooth. The waves were pretty rough, and we had been warned the tow could be strong, so we stayed closer to the shore than we normally would. At night we found if we brushed the sand to the side, there was glowing pinpoints from bioluminescent plankton!
Distance: It took us about 10 minutes to Road Town and 15 minutes to Cane Bay. The roads are steep and curvy, but if you have a confident driver, you can navigate them quickly.
Layout: The house has 4 separate spaces: The living room/kitchen area and then 3 separate suites (1 upstairs across from the kitchen and 2 downstairs). The staircase is outside and you have to step outside to get to each suite. Itâs a perfect setup for groups looking for some privacy but it might make parents with small children uneasy.
