Villa description
Located within a few yards of the mile-long beach at Long Bay on Tortola’s north-western coast, Van Dyke House is a newly renovated villa with three bedrooms and three bathrooms offering good-quality accommodation for a total of up to six guests. The villa is reached via a sweeping driveway leading up from the road to a parking area – the property is just 65 feet above sea level – and from here a flight of steps brings you, via the front door, to the split-level living areas. The living room is a peaceful retreat in which to read a book, watch TV, or listen to music. Double patio doors in the living room slide open to a deep verandah with generously cushioned chairs and chaise lounges. This is a wonderful spot for total relaxation while you listen to the ocean just a few feet below. The kitchen, equipped with all the facilities you might require to prepare even the most complex of meals, is located on the upper level, to the rear of the living room. Also conveniently adjacent to the kitchen and the living room is the formal dining area. To the east of the living area – and also accessed from the kitchen door – is a patio area with gas BBQ, and another dining area in which to enjoy alfresco meals while enjoying panoramic views of the ocean. The second pavilion, on the other side of the patio, houses all three of the bedrooms. The master bedroom is a king, and is situated at the front of the property to enjoy spectacular ocean views from the sliding patio door and the small private balcony beyond it. The second bedroom to the rear (king or twin beds) has its own door, and also a sliding patio door to the side of the building. Both of these bedrooms are of a good size, and have modern en suite bathrooms with glass-block shower areas. Outside the second bedroom is a private patio with a table and chairs, and from here a flight of steps leading down the side of the house, through a gate, to the small pool. Exterior steps lead down to the third bedroom, which is smaller than the other. Van Dyke House is perfectly positioned to offer views of the island’s famously glorious sunsets, and is just yards from the beautiful beach at Long Bay. Smuggler’s Cove for good snorkeling, and Apple Bay/Capoon’s Bay for excellent surfing is also nearby. |

Trudi's personal opinion I really like Van Dyke House. It has been renovated to a good standard and offers air conditioning in all rooms, including the living area, which is most unusual to see in a villa of this price range in the BVI. It feels a wonderfully cheerful place, too; just what you need to shake off the cares of the world. The outdoor spaces are lovely – I particularly like the balcony off the living room, and I could easily spend many hours there, either reading a book or simply gazing at the multi-coloured hues of the turquoise ocean below. I am also quite taken with the patio between the two pavilions – an inviting little oasis. The majority of villas on Tortola are located hillside to benefit from the breathtaking ocean views, but you don’t have to be too far above sea level to be mesmerized by them – Van Dyke House, at rather less than a hundred feet above the ocean, proves that. I have no hesitation in recommending Van Dyke House – it’s genuinely a delightful villa. |
