BEACHFRONT, CANE GARDEN BAY BEACH HOUSE, TORTOLA, IDDYLIC SETTING

I've been coming to the BVI for years and always saw this spectacular house from a distance. Who would have thought that actually staying in it would so far exceed my expectations?? Literally, there is no house on all of Tortola so close to the beach, and since it's the last house on the busy Cane Garden Bay, not many people bother to come close so it feels completely private. There's not many scenic places on the island where you can have that privacy, yet be able to actually walk to bars, restaurants, not to mention a little grocery store (compared to the somewhat crazy driving experience). The main room of this house is so open and airy, and each bedroom is contained and has air conditioning and ceiling fans so no worries about sleeping in a hot room. The master bedroom has this crazy outdoor shower too. I wish I could take it home with me!!! Such a tasteful, classic home, especially compared to the newer rental places with so little character. This place has such unique character, I feel so lucky that it's available as a rental and I am telling all of my friends that they need to stay here.
Also, the owner, Jane, could not have been more accommodating and informative. I don't think she lives on the island but she has a great staff of managers and housekeepers who keep it in great shape. Still, it's not the type of luxury that one would expect from a full service hotel. Go to Frenchman's Cay or Peter Island Resort for that. This is a much more unique experience.

We have stayed in many VRBO rentals and throughout the caribbean, and Jane's house far exceeded them all. Everything from her attention to all our inquiries BEFORE we even booked, to the detail of recommending a taxi service to meet us at the airport and having the rental car at our house, Jane's care of us was perfect. The house was extremely charming, with exceptional fabrics and antiques, many books I knew and loved and more, and "staffed" with the most entertaining pelicans---a daily show right off the back porch! Walking to restaurants on fabulous Cane Garden Bay's white sand was so relaxing. But you must get back in your car and visit ALL the other amazing beaches: brewers bay, smugglers cove, long bay--all different and yet equally spectacular. And dont miss Sage Mt National Park. We will return. Thanks Jane!

4 of us stayed here for 2 weeks in October 2010. The pictures did not do it justice. We could not have picked a better place to stay. We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning on the balcony and surveying what was going on in Cane Garden Bay. Myetts was an easy walk up the beach for dinner, cocktails and massages. We spent alot of time snorkeling in front of the house. We recommend Banana Keet for dinner and gorgeous sunsets. We used Blue Water Divers for our scuba diving excursions and found them very professional and enjoyable to dive with. We took a daysail on the Aristocat which was one of the highlights of the trip. And yes...a trip to Virgin Gorda and the Baths is a must! Stop at Rudy's Bar for a beer and the full moon party at the Bomba Shack is an experience!! This was one of my most memorable vacations and I would love to go back someday!!!
