Outstanding Place To Stay In Tortola

We were very fortunate enough to select this house to stay in for a week during our trip to BVI and Tortola. This place sits high above the ocean with magnificent views, steady breezes flowing throughout and almost no outside noises which provides perfect tranquility. The owners, Chris and Karen, were gracious hosts and went above and beyond expectations to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. They even lent us a vehicle to drive to a restaurant for dinner when our rental had a flat tire. The house itself was spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you would need to feel right at home. There is no doubt in our minds that we will be staying here again upon our return!

You should just go!

The four of us had an amazing time staying here. View is unbelievable and the location was close to the marina since we did a lot of boating. The indoor/outdoor living was the best part. If you get the opportunity, you should definitely go!

Wonderful vacation!

We had an amazing time vacationing in Tortola! Karen was so thoughtful and helpful throughout our stay. We spent most evenings at the house which was very comfortable, and had everything we needed for cooking meals and relaxing. Thanks so much Karen for all the great recommendations. The views from the house are spectacular and we hope to return soon!

Perfect Combination of Excitement & Chill

Karen and her husband, Chris, were the best hosts we have had in all our years of renting homes. The photos of the view from their villa are amazing but to wake up and drink coffee on the porch is unreal. My 19-year-old daughter said it looks like a green screen - it's that vibrant and cinematic. We flew into Tortola and didn't land until 8 PM. Because we were nervous about driving on the left side of the road in the dark, Karen graciously offered to meet us at the airport (about 40 minute drive) and let us follow her back to the villa. This was an incredible relief after a long day of travelling. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and learned to drive a stick shift - so, crazy narrow roads are in my blood. But, Tortola roads are insane and definitely require nerves and a reliable vehicle. The driveway to the villa is a bit harrowing but you get used to it. (BTW: We rented a 2020 Jeep from Itgo in Road Town. Felicia is the manager and she is very helpful. They delivered the Jeep to the airport parking lot where it was ready and waiting for us to pick up. Super easy.) Beyond making sure we got to the villa safely, Karen went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and needs were met. The villa is simply heaven. The open-air living area is blessed with a steady breeze and when we were ready to go to sleep at night, the bedrooms were, thankfully, air-conditioned. One week was not enough. We wish we were still there. What are you waiting for?

Hillside Paradise with Stunning Views

We enjoyed the central kitchen with open floorplan with 180-degree deck that includes the most beautiful views, hot tub and grill. Watching the most extraordinary sunrise each day was a special treat and a view to remember!!! The home was "our home" for a week! Karen and Chris were the best hosts and so accommodating and professional and communicative! Cannot wait to return!

SIMPLY PARADISE!

This was probably our favorite VRBO (or competition booking site) of all time! Karen is a spectacular host-she met us on the road to help us find our "home" away. She went over and beyond in all aspects. She helped my sister get antibiotics, she got calamine lotion for me, made sure we had everything we needed, every day. The space: the pictures are more than accurate. We loved spending time on the HUGE covered deck, morning and evening. The views from the deck were spectacular, and we loved watching lightning (and shooting stars) from the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable, and having two en suite bathrooms was great, plus the half bath. The kitchen was well appointed, and everything worked as it should. Lots of fans, and the A/C in the bedrooms was heavenly. I would not hesitate to stay with Karen again. Just a lovely 5 star stay!

Paradise!!

My group traveled for a week to Karen’s amazing property for a week. We’re pretty seasoned travelers and have been to many places all over the world. I can say with the most certainty that this VRBO experience was the best we’ve had. We were warmly greeted by Karen and she checked in on us routinely throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time, which we 100% were!! The view from the deck is this open air home is absolutely incredible. We had just as much fun sitting and watching the boats on the ocean that we did traveling to other islands. The seating area outside is roomy and very comfortable. The home is one of the most clean and well stocked that I’ve seen in my travels. The beds and pillows…oh my gosh. So comfortable.We decided to taxi where we were going and Karen recommended George. He was always on time and had very reasonable fees. We spent most of our time visiting other islands. The Baths on Gorda was my favorite. The Anegada Beach Club is gorgeous but so expensive. Soggy Dollar on Jost is so beautiful and fun. Smugglers Cove on Tortola is a great place to take your snorkel mask. Dinner Brandy wine Estate was incredible. Don’t waste your time with Fantasia by Giorgio. Both on Tortola. We had the most incredible time and can’t wait to return. Thanks Karen for a trip we will never forget!!!

Amazingly gorgeous views and an ideal location

We just returned from a seven week stay at this property. It's difficult to put into words how extraordinary the view is. A huge deck spans the entire villa, providing a 180 degree view of the sea and many surrounding islands including St. John, Virgin Gorda, and Norman Island. Photos simply do not do it justice. We have stayed at many locations throughout the world with water views including Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Santorini, but my husband and I agree that the view from this villa tops them all. The villa is high enough up to get the incredible view yet low enough that the drive uphill is fairly easy. The home itself is open to the outdoors, except for the two bedrooms with attached baths which can be closed up and air-conditioned. We found that with the trade winds and fans going, A/C was usually not necessary and sleeping with the tropical breeze blowing through was quite nice. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook at home. The location of this villa is perfect. It is located a short drive to Road Town and many gorgeous beaches, and it is just five minutes from Nanny Cay marina which is like a small village with its own restaurants, shops, pool, and beach. We visited a few of the neighboring islands (Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke, and Norman Island). These were all easy day trips from the villa. There's even a free ferry to Norman Island located just a 3-minute drive away. Tortola is a wonderful island. It's much smaller and less touristy than St. Thomas and is also safer. We found the locals to be very friendly and helpful. There are plentiful restaurants, ranging from casual to gourmet, and we enjoyed trying most of them. The hosts actually live in the lower level of the villa, however you would never know they are there. The entrance is separate, and the space you're in is completely private. But they are available if you need them, and are extremely responsive, hospitable and kind. Karen showed us the way to a beautiful, out-of-the-way beach that we never would have found on our own, provided us with local recommendations, and helped us in countless other ways. Karen and Chris have lived on Tortola for over 30 years so know the best spots to visit and have all sorts of insider info that is extremely valuable. Our stay on this beautiful island was made infinitely better by having them nearby. We highly, highly recommend staying here!

Awesome Place, Better View

This property has amazing views and an incredible indoor-outdoor layout. It’s so nice to have the breeze sweep along the patio while you enjoy the amazing sites that are right in front of you. We’ve stayed on Tortola previously, and this location was better. It’s close to town, but still feels secluded. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, and has everything you could need. Karen is very responsive and you don’t even notice they’re in the apartment below. I can’t recommend this place any more highly!

Beautiful home with great view

I enjoyed my time there and the owners were kind people.. The only thing I recommend is for them to mention is that is not a private villa and that they live right under the villa that the guests will be staying in..
