Located within a desirable gated community on Tortola’s south-west coast, Pelican Point is a spacious 3 bedroom/3 bathroom villa sleeping up to 8 guests in comfort. Set in 1.6 acres with simply breathtaking 180-degree views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel and outlying islands, the villa overlooks the 30,000 gallon private pool and extensive, well-planted gardens with tropical trees and fruits including vibrant red flamboyant trees.

From the driveway above, natural stone steps guide you down to the covered deck with cushioned sofas and chairs along with dining table for al fresco meals and a conveniently placed gas BBQ. Sliding patio doors lead in to the open plan living room with a formal dining area to the rear and an extremely well equipped kitchen suitable for preparing cordon bleu meals.

The large master bedroom is located on the same level as the living areas and enjoys an en suite bathroom incorporating a full size tub and double basins. Patio doors slide open to the verandah, which spans the full width of the villa, and views over the Sir Francis Drake Channel to St John and the untouched green hills of the US Virgin Islands National Park. The twin bedroom is located between the master bedroom and the living area. This bright and cheery bedroom can be made up as a king, if required, and also enjoys fabulous views. A full bathroom with walk-in shower is located just across the corridor. The third en suite bedroom is to be found on the lower level and is accessed by a flight of steps from the deck. This bedroom can also be made up as a king or twins – your choice. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and provide plenty of storage space.

Pelican Point is new to the vacation rental market from Nov 2009. Book early to avoid disappointment.
