With stunning views of Jost Van Dyke & several of the other beautiful BVI’s, Vista Do Mar is one of a collection of free-standing villas nestled into the slopes of Long Bay. The entire development is surrounded by bright, tropical landscaping & bordered by an idyllic mile long beach.

🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
As you enter the property you’ll be met with an airy open-plan kitchen and living room filled with sunlight and attractive Caribbean furnishings, only separated by a sociable breakfast bar and island. The kitchen area has all the essentials for self-catering. The living room offers comfortable seating for those moments of downtime, ample work space and, if you can bear to tear your eyes away from the glistening ocean view, FLOW cable TV, Smart TV and hi-speed WIFI.
🛏️ BEDROOMS:
1) The downstairs bedroom and bathroom continue on with the light and breezy feeling of the villa, with plenty of space, a king-sized bed, AC, shower and closet space. Of course, you’ll be met with ocean views here too as the large glass doors slide open onto a little balcony.
2) Upstairs, you’ll find the Penthouse suite. Airy and filled with sunlight, it has an open studio-style layout with a high vaulted ceiling. Equipped with a king-size bed, two comfortable lounge chairs, a small workspace, cable TV and hi-speed WIFI, you’ll have all your home comforts but with a much better view! Recently remodelled, the bathroom is modern and bright with a spacious layout that affords a double vanity with 2 basins, a large custom shower and a dressing area with plenty of storage.
3) The third bedroom is a wonderful little annexe off this main room with beautiful custom-built bunkbeds and a closet, perfect for children.
☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
What really steals the show at Vista Do Mar is the spacious and much sought-after pool and BBQ deck. Bordered by hibiscus hedges and overhanging bougainvillea, you’ll feel as though you’re in your own private tropical paradise. There are poolside sun loungers for catching those rays, but also a covered area for those who are more comfortable in the shade. Under here you’ll find a teak dining table and chairs for 6, perfect for enjoying alfresco dinners in the warm breeze. This outdoor space really is the envy of its neighbours!
From the Penthouse, you can open the large glass sliding doors to the covered deck, settle into the teak furniture, listen to the waves roll in and feel the breeze from your private ocean lookout spot.
Guests who rent the entire villa have sole access to the property.

😍 WE WORK DOUBLE-TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU ENJOY “ISLAND TIME”!
✈️ TERRANCE B. LETTSOME AIRPORT (EIS) (18 miles away)
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 (3 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
🚗 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.
