Space

🛋️ LIVING AREAS: Pale walls, dark wood furnishings, local blue-bit stonework and pops of natural greens create a feeling of tropical chic. The carefully selected natural materials seamlessly blur the lines of indoor and outdoor living. You'll enter into The Great Room where you'll find an open-plan kitchen and living room. It's light and airy with high pitched ceilings and large glass doors and windows, letting in plenty of ocean breezes. The living room has plenty of comfy seating and a Flat Screen TV (if you can bear to tear your eyes away from the views) for moments of downtime. The living room and kitchen are only separated by a sociable breakfast bar with 4 high stools. The kitchen is fully equipped with high quality appliances for making a slap-up meal which you will surely be enjoying from the dining table on your spacious covered veranda. Complete with stunning ocean views and gentle breezes, this is a really special spot to enjoy a meal with family & friends or to watch the boats sailing lazily past. 🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: The 2 stylish bedrooms and their ensuite bathrooms are situated either side of the Great Room, making for really private retreats for all guests. No arguing over bedrooms necessary, as each offers a sumptuous king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms complete with outdoor (and indoor) showers and doors opening out onto the veranda with THOSE panoramic views. ☀️ STEP OUTSIDE: The pool deck at Blackbeard's is totally idyllic, with a turquoise infinity pool that feels as if it goes right into the ocean and contemporary outdoor furniture including chairs, tables and loungers. What a place to sit with a sundowner and watch as the sun sinks below the horizon and sets the sky alight. To top off this exclusive location, there’s also a picturesque path leading down to the ocean that has a shared landing dock where you can swim and snorkel along the rocky shoreline. It's pretty incredible.

Transit

✈️ TERRANCE B. LETTSOME AIRPORT (EIS) (16.6 miles away) (50 MIN DRIVE) is on Beef Island in the East End of Tortola (connected by bridge). It’s the only airport on Tortola and where you'll fly into. ⛴️ WEST END FERRY HARBOUR (0.7 miles away) The closest place to catch a ferry to connect you to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas & St John) and fellow BVI Jost Van Dyke ⛴️ ROAD TOWN FERRY TERMINAL Here you can catch ferries to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas) and fellow British Virgin Islands (Anegada & Virgin Gorda) ⛵ SOPER'S HOLE MARINA, LIGHTHOUSE MARINA & NANNY CAY MARINA Arriving by boat & looking for dock space? Try these marinas nearby. 🚗 Although there are ferries to connect you to other islands, the public transport in Tortola is basically non-existent and there’s so much to go and see but taxis add up quickly. Tortola is only 14 miles long by 3 miles at its widest, but it’s a mountainous island and the roads can be quite rugged. We can help you to reserve a 4WD SUV or direct you to recommended local car rental companies who understand that good 4WD vehicles are mandatory to explore with confidence. They can offer delivery to your port of entry or villa (we can help organise you a taxi to take you to the property) & carry a selection of cars & jeeps. Jerry's Car Rental is our favourite and the easiest car rental company to work with online.
