DUN REACH - a sophisticated & calming tropical retreat

‘Dun Reach’ is a local term for when you finally reach your destination after a long or difficult journey, and as you arrive at this charming villa, you’ll be delighted to find that your very own island oasis awaits. This is a special place for owners Susan (born in Tortola) and her husband Peter who bought and renovated the villa only last year, and who are excited to share their gem of a home exclusively with Villas of Tortola guests.

As you arrive at this charming villa you’ll be surrounded by the vibrancy of Caribbean colour. Lush greenery, bright blooms & spectacular views over the ocean to surrounding islands are the perfect backdrop to a dream vacation.

The layout is ideally suited for 2 couples as each bedroom is tucked away in its own private cottage. The layout blurs the lines of indoor & outdoor living, & the design is the epitome of modern Caribbean elegance.

🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
The main cottage is where much of your day will be spent, with living room, kitchen, dining room and half-bathroom. High, vaulted wooden ceilings and plenty of large doors and windows flood the entire space with light, air and ocean breezes and from almost every corner of the property you’ll be able to enjoy a sparkling ocean view. The living room has plenty of comfy seating for kicking back & reading a book or (if you can bear to look away from the view), chilling and watch the Smart TV.

Huge doors on 3 walls lead to outside spaces overlooking the islands and various idyllic spots to enjoy the sunshine and views.

Owner Susan is a keen cook and it shows in the attention to detail in the kitchen. You’ll have everything you need and more from pots, pans, crockery, stainless steel fridge freezer, oven and dishwasher to ice machine, cappuccino machine, frozen drink maker, juicer, AND there’s even an ocean view to enjoy whilst you’re doing the dishes. The kitchen flows through to an indoor dining room with again, gorgeous views and access to the pool area and outdoor dining space.

🛏️ BEDROOMS:
Both bedrooms are their own private sanctuary, with ensuite bathrooms, California King beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, choice of AC or ceiling fans, private balconies and doors that open to let in the ocean breezes and sounds of the surf. The master bedroom’s ensuite has the addition of an outdoor shower (trust us, showering under the stars is good for the soul) and the doors in the bedroom also open right into the pool so you can literally step out of bed and jump in for a swim. You’ll also find a washer & dryer in the suite for your convenience.

The guest bedroom has its own mini fridge & there couldn’t be a better spot for a morning coffee than its private balcony overlooking the sea.

☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
The outdoor spaces are just as important as the indoors at Dun Reach, and you’ll be able to enjoy breath-taking views from all corners. Set into the luscious green hillside overlooking Long Bay, you really do feel a sense of peace and tranquillity here. The crystal pool is at the centre of the home, with loungers to catch some rays, and a stainless steel built-in gas BBQ for grilling. Enjoy dinner with friends in the (covered) outdoor dining area which also has comfy seats to lounge on for those who prefer to relax in the shade.

The Villas of Tortola team can't wait to welcome you!

DETAILS:
💨 AC: There is AC in all bedrooms & ceiling fans throughout

📶 WIFI: There is Wifi throughout

🧹 HOUSEKEEPING: Maid service is once weekly,

🅿️ PARKING: There is driveway parking for your convenience - note that the pathway from the parking area to the front door is a steep pathway

Incredible
We loved everything about our stay at Dun Reach. Everything was exceptionally clean & honestly probably even better than the photos! The layout was perfect for two couples. We loved being close to the Long Bay Resort below as well. It was easy to run down the hill & eat a fabulous meal! The driving situation was. Little tricky. Highly recommend allowing them to have someone pick you up at the airport. It was a lifesaver for us. Also definitely rent a Jeep!! You’ll definitely need it! All in all an amazing anniversary trip!

Simply The Best!!!
This property was exactly if not better than advertised. Everything about the stay was top notch and we couldn’t think of a better way to spend a family birthday trip. The views are impressive, staff was thoughtful and kind and everything went perfectly all week.
