Once a private island for rent and featured on MasterCard’s famous TV commercials, Tortola Private Island Villa 4583, was enjoyed by the most famous celebrities and musicians in the world.
Today, only the Cottage is available as a private island villa rental.
This beachfront cottage is all one would imagine in paradise. Lapping waves at your front porch, a postcard perfect white sandy, palm fringed beach out your side door, and warm crystal clear aqua blue waters with spectacular snorkeling just a few feet away.
Situated along the shore in one of the most perfect locations imaginable.
It has access from the waters edge onto the dining deck, or along a shell-strewn path into a small, walled garden.
Complete privacy is assured.
There are stunning views across the sparkling sea to Great Thatch, Jost Van Dyke and the most western tip of Tortola.
It is built in typical West-Indian style. Gingerbread trims a large, terra-cotta tiled veranda, which engulfs three sides of the cottage, and a private dining deck, built out over the sea with steps leading directly to the shore.
On the inside an open plan interior with brightly colored, shuttered doors leads onto the veranda.
The cottage is simply and very elegantly decorated with terra-cotta floors overlaid with rugs, bamboo and rattan furniture, a fully equipped kitchen area, a stunning, draped, four-poster bed, and a traditionally styled bathroom with a walk-in, tiled shower.
The cottage has air conditioning, high speed internet, a hot tub, telephone, fax, radio, TV, VCR, DVD and CD player. A limited supply of films and CDs are available as well as books, postcards and stationery.
Outside, on the capacious wrap around balcony, there are tables and chairs, sun-loungers, and a king-sized hammock which enable guests to enjoy full sun and maximum tanning, or retreat to the shade and enjoy the refreshing sea breezes as they prefer.
There is also a covered external cooking area, with a full-sized professional barbecue, grill and cook-top for al fresco meals.
Beach and bath towels and robes are supplied, along with a welcome pack of drinks and groceries on arrival.
A maid is available to make the bed, replace towels and provide laundry services.
Ice will be provided daily for drinks. Well before your arrival your grocery, beverage and liquor order will be taken and stocked into the villa's well appointed kitchen on the day you arrive.
In addition, restaurants and shops are only a five minute boat ride away.
Visitors will almost certainly want to explore the amazingly warm, clear waters surrounding the island and snorkeling equipment is available at no additional cost.
This is a 54-acre, privately owned island just a few minutes by boat from Soper's Hole at the West End of Tortola. The island was made habitable by its English owners a few years ago, and is now one of the most idyllic venues in the Caribbean.
It has a golden beach, fringed with coconut palms and seagrapes. The water is so clear you don’t even need a snorkel to view the amazing variety of fish, and the gentle sea breezes ensure that the heat never becomes oppressive.
The owners are occasionally in residence, but are extremely low-key and will respect the privacy of guests at the Cottage. Their residence is located on a hilltop at the other end of the island, out of sight of the beach and cottages. A second beach cottage is sometimes used as a beach bar by the owners when they are in residence, but it has no overnight accommodation. So very rarely you might see the owners there during the day.
