19 Reviews of Property 203005 in Tortola, Virgin Islands

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!!!

The property was breathtaking. We were a party of 6 and were more than comfortable. The house is well maintained and the staff was very helpful. Communication was also great between Jane, Sam, Vincent and everyone listed in the pre-arrival information.
Some things to do:
Meet the local neighbors, very friendly people.
Make friends with the bartender, we enjoyed Myetts.
Get a house call massage from Serenity Spa, ask for Rebecca, AWESOME!!
Spend a day at Smuggler's Cove and make sure to stop at the Bomba Shack!!
Go to Jost and spend a day on White Bay
See The Baths
We stayed busy but also hung out at the house. For groceries, ask Sandman or Vincent for a ride to the Safeway in Road town, or go to the little store Scotty runs close to the house for quick things. Don't waste your time or money at Bobby's, it had very old food.
We highly recommend renting this property..1st class all the way. Thank you for a much needed wonderful week.

We had the pleasure of spending a week at the Tortola Beach House in August 2009. This year, we only had three nights available, but the owner, Jane, graciously made the booking for the shorter stay. Once again, we were amazed at the beauty and functionality of the house. Everything was immaculate, all the appliances worked perfectly, and the patio features one of the best views in the islands. We try to visit different places on our annual island visits, but this house is and will always be on our list of places to return to as often as possible.

The house is located right on the water and close to all restaurants and bars in Cane Garden Bay. The views and sounds of the water are incredible. We greatly enjoyed out time at this house.

This is the best beach house ever. We've stayed there twice. The house is great! Has plenty of room and the views are wonderful. There is room to hang out with everyone and room to get away by yourself. Restraunts are convient to the house, just a walk down the beach. Very relaxing.

The Beach House experience borders on the incredible.

Getting up with coffee or a Mimosa, walking outside to the waves rushing up onto your own little private beachshore, watching the pelicans fishing for breakfast in the shallows less than 40 feet from the lounge chairs where you are sitting, while the sun rise over the hills. Seeing the sailboats motor out of the bay all through the morning, walking next door to the Callwood's place for a sandwich then down to the small distillery for some tasty spiced rum "tester" shots and a couple take home bottles, sightseeing through the day around the island or going over to another island for much of the same, getting back in the early evening to listen to Mr. Marley's music over the soundsystem's outdoor speakers and celebrate the sunset over the hills on Jost Van Dyke to the west, as the sailboats motor back in to moor for the night. Flip flopping down the beach to Mayettes for some live music, Conch Fritters, Painkillers and / or Red Stripes, and walking back home to a very comfy bed to let the waves washing up on the shore sing you to sleep. A perfect day - every day. If I hadn't been there to see it for eight days I probably wouldnt have believed it. Everything you thought you'd ever want in a beach house to include the unique outdoor shower off the master bath.

Jane and her property manager are so easy to work with, you'd think they'd been raised in the South.

Looking forward to a return trip with some more luck.
