Stargazer – Spacious villa w/ pool & ocean views, close to 2 beaches in West End
Overlooking neighbouring islands Jost Van Dyke & Little Tobago, Stargazer is the perfect vacation villa. Complete with cooling turquoise pool, sweeping ocean views, endless indoor & outdoor entertaining areas & even the chance to spot some flamingos from your balcony, this 4bed, 4.5 bath villa is the ideal choice for couples or families alike. AND it’s just 5 mins from 2 of our favourite beaches – what a dream
Our team at Villas of Tortola would love to welcome you!
LIVING AREAS:
Thoughtfully designed, Stargazer is arranged over two storeys with a spacious outdoor terrace in the centre of each level. The terraces divide the house into two but provide an easy connection, making it the perfect villa for both couples and families.
The main house consists of an air conditioned open-plan kitchen, dining & living room with a convenient half-bathroom. You’ll be immediately greeted with sweeping ocean views to the front. These combined with high cathedral ceilings, and its striking signature round window creates a room flooded with natural light & cool air flow. There’s more than enough room for you and your whole party to kick back and relax in and to your left as you enter you’ll find a generously sized L-shape sofa and 50 inch wall-mounted flat screen TV. Large glass sliding doors make up almost the entire of the front wall, not only allowing for glimmering azure vistas but also spacious front balconies to enjoy a morning coffee from. The kitchen area is equally generous in size and fully equipped, with a large delphinium blue tile-topped island running through the middle. This ample workspace also doubles up as a handy breakfast bar with high stools. A stainless-steel double fridge/freezer (plus another single fridge/freezer), built-in 4-ring stove, oven and dishwasher make for the perfect kitchen for catering for big groups. Finally, an indoor dining area with room for 8 overlooks neighbouring islands and if you catch a glimpse of candy-floss pink it may even be a flamingo grazing in Belmont Pond.
BEDROOMS:
There are 4 bedrooms at Stargazer, all with bright & cheery painted furniture,AC, ocean views & ensuites so no arguing over bedrooms necessary!
1) A short sunlight-filled stroll across the terrace from the kitchen will lead you to the two bedrooms on the ground floor. The first you’ll reach has a king-bed & spacious ensuite bathroom with glass-tiled walk-in shower letting in the Caribbean sunshine.
2) This king room connects to a twin bedroom (making it the perfect choice for parents with children. This room also has its own ensuite & the novel extra option of an outdoor shower!
3) A quick hop up the external stairs (accessed from the very spacious outdoor patio to the rear of the house) will take you up to the top 2 bedrooms & next huge outdoor terrace! A second king suite/primary greets you to your left, complete with high vaulted ceilings, playful artwork, access to a little balcony to the front with those gorgeous ocean views & ensuite bathroom with glass tiled walk-in shower.
4) A double room is to the right as you come up the stairs, again with access to a balcony with ocean views, unique hand-painted wooden doors, and ensuite bathroom with glass tiled walk-in shower.
STEP OUTSIDE:
Like any great vacation villa, the outdoor areas are just as important as the indoors at Stargazer. Upon entry from the driveway, you’ll reach a cooling turquoise pool. Surrounded by nothing but the song of the birds and & the rustling of lush tropical greenery, the pool area is a true oasis. Chill on the loungers & catch some rays or enjoy a glass of something cold while dipping your toes in. A really special part of this villa is the amazing patio at the back of the house. A purpose built bar with built-in gas BBQ, outdoor sink & bar stools create an amazing entertaining area. This coupled with a set of Adirondak chairs & coffee table make for the perfect place to grill up a local Anegada lobster under the stars. This area is conveniently right by the kitchen & downstairs covered dining terrace complete with custom-made mahogany dining table. Dinner with an ocean view never gets old! The upstairs sun terrace is another great place for chilling – with sun loungers & a great vantage point, you’ll find it hard to leave!

Stargazer is located in the exclusive but welcoming rural estate of Belmont. You can drive to two beautiful beaches (Smuggler’s Cove and Long Bay) in 5/10 minutes or take a pretty walk down but a fairly strenuous one up! Belmont Salt Pond below is a natural reserve and important ecosystem that regularly attracts flamingos (there are 8 there this week as I write this).

You can also purchase a pool pass for the day ($100 pp incl $75 food & beverage credit & access to the pool. Under 12’s are free)
SMUGGLER’S COVE (0.7 miles away)
Smuggler’s Cove is idyllic & perfectly sheltered by its vibrant reef which provides sensational snorkeling & is home to Patricia’s laid-back beach bar. *cruise ship passengers sometimes come here so look online for the “BVI cruise ship schedule” to avoid the busier days.
APPLE BAY (1.2 miles away)
A little village with world-class winter surf & a handful of bars and restaurants (Nardie’s Beach Bar at Sebastian’s, The Sugar Mill, Tramonti) for all occasions.
CARROT BAY (2 miles away)
A charming village where you’ll find local fisherman, fruit stalls, North Shore Shell Museum and D’Coal Pot restaurant.

Here you’ll find a great selection of restaurants (Omar’s Coffee House, Admiral’s Pub & Pusser’s Landing), a well-stocked grocery store, boat charter companies, shops, Driftwood Spa & more. West End Ferry Terminal is opposite (where you can catch ferries & water taxis to fellow British Virgin Island Jost Van Dyke and US Virgin Islands St John & St Thomas). Enquire with Soper’s Hole Marina & Lighthouse Marina for dock space if you have a boat.
CANE GARDEN BAY (4.1 miles away)
The buzziest beach on island, you’ll find a whole variety of Restaurants and Bars (Indigo Beach House, Elms, Paradise Bar, Myett’s plus many more) lining the water. You’ll also find a small grocery store, a white sand beach with calm swimming and options for watersports and Callwood’s Rum Distillery. *all these amenities mean that the cruise ship passengers come here, so look online for the “BVI cruise ship schedule” to avoid the busier days.

SOPER’S HOLE MARINA, LIGHTHOUSE MARINA & NANNY CAY MARINA

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.

I had a tremendous stay at Stargazer. The pictures don’t do it justice!! There are sweeping, 180 degree views from every room of the ocean, Jost Van Dyke and other islands, Smugglers Cove, Cane Garden, and more. There is a space for every mood and weather situation: open air sunning; open air shade; air-conditioned bliss; a private and shaded reading/yoga patio. The mountainside pool, open air grill kitchen and large patio provide a great change of pace. Every room is amply sized and architecturally interesting. The bedrooms are well spaced out on several levels and so provide plenty of privacy while still having panoramic views. I will be back next year!! (arrival January 16th 2025)
We had an amazing experience at Stargazer and rate it 5 stars. I believe the property is new to the rental market and we may have been one of the first occupants. The whole house was recently refurbished with new furniture/beds/decorations. It looks fantastic and is very comfortable. The design of the house is spectacular with plenty of room for our guests. Fantastic location with beautiful views of Jost. Close to our favorite beaches at Smuggler's Cove and Long Bay. Excellent surfing spots are just a short drive away. Great restaurants at Soper's Hole marina and the Sugar Mill. Five minute drive to catch the ferries out of West End. We had a great stay and would highly recommend. (arrived November 13th 2024)
