THE BEACH HOUSE- beach-chic luxury at Long Bay beach

A beach house in the chicest sense of the word, the impeccable decor offers sophisticated & understated glamour in an oceanfront setting. I could go on forever about the cool, calm sense of luxury at The Beach House!

One of the closest villas to the beach on Tortola, it's elevated enough for privacy & glorious views over sparkling waters, but just a stroll from Long Bays soft sands & beachfront restaurants.

Remember to follow our socials @villasoftortola for all things BVI!

LIVING AREAS:
The remodel of this villa was just recently completed in 2021 and it's unrecognisable from its former layout as Van Dyke House. The new owners, talented and successful restauranteurs, have impeccable taste and created an amazing layout with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living. It's a very sociable space, with multi-level decks bordered by lush landscaping ... the infinity pool appears to overflow into the ocean just yards away. A neutral colour palette, with white paints and natural woods are complimented with splashes of pale blue creating a very calming beachy vibe.

A house filled with air and light, the large glass-panelled doors allowing the sunshine to stream in and in true beach house-style, can be left open for summertime living. Packed with both style and substance, the kitchen is equipped with top of the range stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar with high stools and an eye for detail that only a chef could have. It flows seamlessly into the stylish living room and its 2 walls of glass doors that open out onto the deck. If you can bear to look away from the sweeping ocean views, it's a comfy room to watch the 50'' Dish Satellite TV and relax. A teak dining table for 8 sits on the covered porch directly outside the kitchen and is a blissful spot to enjoy meals with an ocean backdrop.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
The 4 bedrooms are dotted around the property providing space, privacy & luxury for all guests. The bathrooms alone are exquisite with the most amazing selection of tiles and finishings.

1) The guest house is ultra luxurious - a spacious Primary king suite where you can retreat to your very own spa-like sanctuary. It has a separate entrance at the top of the property and is up a flight of steps above the main pool deck. Complete with conveniences like a fridge/freezer, microwave, DeLonghi Coffee Machine, 32'' Satellite TV, sofa & indoor and outdoor showers, you could spend your whole vacation here! A private deck tops it all off and is a dreamy spot to enjoy time with your partner on the chaise.

2) Next to the BBQ deck is an elegant twin bedroom with ensuite bathroom which can of course be made up as a king bed.

3) Facing the beach, on the front porch is a split level queen suite with a spacious bathroom and 40'' SmartTV with Dish satellite.

4) The fourth bedroom is smaller than the others and on the lower level. It has a queen bed, 32'' Dish satellite TV and its own shaded porch and table and chairs overlooking the beach. *We do accept 8 guests but please note that this bedroom is really best suited to a single adult due to the size of the room and the louvre style doors to the ensuite bathroom.

STEP OUTSIDE:
The outside areas are just as sleek, elegant and sociable as the inside. The infinity edge pool feels as if it reaches right into the ocean and is an incredibly relaxing place to spend the day listening to the waves. Stylish sun loungers and fun bean bags keep the atmosphere relaxed, while the outdoor stereo system can create whatever mood you're looking for.

A whole other dining experience awaits on the upper pool deck where a stunning BBQ area with built-in gas grill offers the perfect backdrop for starlit dinners next to the pool.

There's also a convenient poolside bathroom with shower off the BBQ deck.
