A modern home above the surf…Cliff House One is the spectacular property that’s set into the cliff above Apple Bay, a world-class surf break by winter, and by summer, perfect for snorkelling through crystal clear water over the reef; all just a 3 minute walk away.
Porches, decks, and immense windows showcase the uninterrupted views from every space on the property and you’ll feel as if you can dive into the ocean below.
Formerly a private home known as Falling Down House, the property has been completely rebuilt since hurricane Irma blew it away in 2017.
While similar to the previous layout, the new contemporary silhouette is built in concrete to a slightly larger footprint, with elevated ceilings and additional rooms and porches, it has 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms) plus a sun-room with a trundle bed for 2 additional guests.
The sleek white minimalist interior of the main house is furnished with simple teak Balinese furniture creating the perfect backdrop for the views.
There are 2 entrances from the driveway, where there’s parking for 1 car (with street parking for an additional 2 cars in front of the house). A covered walkway leads to the kitchen door and the BBQ deck, while another discreet door opens to the main cocktail deck.
Custom stained-glass front doors open into the heart of the home. Immediately to the left is the first bedroom, furnished with a teak four poster king bed and en-suite bathroom with shower. This suite is calm, peaceful sanctuary, it features a custom stained glass window, but has no view.
Ahead is a comfortable seating arrangement that takes advantage of the cross breeze from the stained glass doors to the opposite porch which can be closed with an automatic hurricane shutter when the weather’s bad.
In the main living area another dining table sits next to the sleek, minimalist white kitchen complete with convenient pass through to the outside deck. The kitchen has a full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric cooktop and oven and microwave. There’s a small washroom off the kitchen next to the back door.
Dramatic custom stairs wrap around the 2 storey dining area and lead up to a landing and 2 further bedrooms. The Master Suite is extravagantly large with a king bed, spacious walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom and shower overlooking the ocean, as well as a comfortable seating arrangement to relax in private. The Master Suite has a private entrance from the roadside parking area.
The third Queen bedroom is also accessed from the same landing and has a queen-sized bed, a built-in closet and bathroom with large shower. This suite has Kelly’s deck tucked beneath the shade of the cliffside trees, with a circular Dedon sun-lounger arrangement where you can stretch out in privacy as you soak in some rays or chill beneath the shade, it’s like your very own tree fort! The bar stools provide an alternative spot for a nice cool drink.
Sandwiched between these two suites (and accessible through either of the suites) is a small sunroom with yet another dramatic porch that projects into the skyline. The trundle bed (2 twin beds) is ideal for guests in either suite to put their children to sleep.
**Please note that the sunroom is really only suitable for couples with children as it can ONLY be accessed via one of these bedrooms, and the children would need to use the bathroom of one of these suites, or the washroom downstairs off the kitchen and the outdoor shower).
The 3 bedrooms are air-conditioned, the sun-room is not but the AC from either adjacent bedroom cools it down easily with the door left ajar.
With views these spectacular decks and open spaces are a feature. The main floor has a large Cocktail Deck to the East, overlooking the surf break and the coastal villages of Apple Bay and Carrot Bay and an enclosed outdoor shower to the right is the perfect spot to rinse off after the beach as you overlook the beach below.
To the west of the living room lies the Sunset Porch with a small table and chairs perfect for coffee or cocktails. Beyond this lies a covered dining area with built-in gas BBQ for alfresco dining day or night.
Cliff House One has always been a very unique property, and it’s reincarnation since Irma (project-managed by JC) has kindled a new kind of magic. I know I tend to love something special about every property we manage (and many of you have said that you love to hear our little anecdotes)…well Cliff House One holds a very special place in our hearts because of the owner and Remar Sutton (who has lived here for many years and is our daughter’s godfather). Oh, and we also happened to get married here many moons ago!
Guests have sole access to the entire property.
*There’s an apartment beneath the house that can be rented separately but it has a separate entrance off the driveway and no outdoor space so there is no interaction with these guests.

We usually stay up high when we visit. The views and vibe of Cliff House has shaken that up. Spectacular views and breezes from Apple Bay fill the house from everywhere you look. The glass and positioning of the windows are brilliant. You feel like you are on a boat, suspended on the water. There is ample shade on the west deck to seek cool and calm moments and a nice sunny entrance patio with an outside shower with more views of the water. The modern lines of the home are softened by the beach decor and bedroom linens. It is modern and super clean with splashes of color. We entertained guests for the first time while on Tortola and had everything we needed for a lovely time. The house is so well and easy to live in with convenient parking and access, we used the house a lot because it was easy to access. Conveniently located a few doors up from Sebastians and close to all the restaurants and beaches, we would easily choose this house again and bring friends. The views of sailboats, dozens of rainbows and the surf while having our morning coffees on the deck will keep us thinking about returning! We had a little passport mishap and the staff quickly realized and helped us out, saving us a big headache. We can’t say enough about Villas of Tortola and the service. Totally on the ball and made us feel like their most important guests. (Michelle M January 5th 2023)
We had the BEST time at Cliff House. From the moment we checked in with Sharlene, to the homemade rotis that Pinky made and delivered, to the entire stay at this GORGEOUS location, we had a wonderful time and would recommend this location and these wonderful people to anyone! Loved, loved, loved it! (Janis P vrbo 2.3.2023)
Our family of four including two teenagers had a wonderful week here. We did not rent car but Smuggler’s Cove is within walking distance and is a beautiful beach. Sebastion’s is right down the street and offers great dining and entertainment. Sam and her team were extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The sunsets from the deck each night were amazing. I can’t wait to go back! (Heather L airbnb 4.27.2022)
Everything was immaculate and we were checked on regularly. Great views of the surfing beach, and a short drive to 2 of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen. Although it is right on the road, we never were bothered by street traffic. (Nancy F airbnb 1.26.2022)
