Towanda

A spacious well laid out villa with breath taking views of the beaches, islands and sunsets. Pinky was great answering all our various questions and sourcing fresh lobster and fish for us..ymmm! We mostly dined in to take advantage of the great sunsets and dining area on the deck. Thanks to all to help us to make this a wonderful too short stay.   (Fumi A    March 16th 2024)

We just returned from our 2nd trip to Villa Towanda and it was just as amazing as our first visit. The views are absolutely stunning and everyone was a delight to work with.   (Lisa K   airbnb   2.28.2020)

We had such a great time at Towanda during a 4 day stay in January that we are returning for a week in May! What more can we say.   (Matt G   vrbo   1.14.2017)

Quite a lovely villa. Beautiful pool and views. Very unique. Everything is open air, but we were not in the least bit hot. I highly recommend staying at this incredible retreat.  (Charisse B   vrbo   11.25.2016)

What a beautiful home! We loved the open air concept and it had amazing views! The sounds of crashing of the waves through the day and frogs at night and only a 10 minute drive to 2 amazing beaches!! Travel to the house did require a 4×4 and after a time or 2 we got used to the drive. The home was very clean and well maintained, customer service from the team was excellent – a few check ins to make sure had everything we needed. We loved Towanda and will be returning!!   (Jeff W   vrbo   11.14.2016)

The online pictures of Villa Towanda on VRBO don’t do it justice because the property has a serene feel and vibe (with just the right touch of Indonesian charm) that simply can’t be captured in still photos. The roads up to the property are steep and the location would be difficult to find on your own, so we definitely needed to meet the manager at Long Bay Beach Resort to follow him up. Definitely rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle! We loved the outdoor/indoor living spaces typical in the Caribbean. The management team is very responsive and great to work with. The kitchen and living/dining rooms were under the terrace cover and flowed outside right to the pool. The villa has three self enclosed “suites” consisting of a bedroom and bathroom that are all of approximately equal size…two are stacked (upstairs/downstairs) and the third is upstairs but separated from the other two with an incredible view and outdoor shower. The main problem with the property is that the bedrooms are not air conditioned (and easily could be) and the fans are not sufficient to keep you cool at night with the mosquito nets down (and the electricity sometimes going out at night to turn your fan off). Other than the lack of A/C, it was a perfect stay in a perfect setting.   (Robert J   vrbo   6.16.2016)

The one bad thing about Villa Towanda was that it spoiled every other location that my friends and I visited! The views from the villa are incomparable, and the vibe in the house is intimate, relaxed and comfortable. After a day at one of the beaches or out on the water, there was no other place that we wanted to be than Towanda. Period. We cooked in the open kitchen almost every night and sat on the terrace for sunset and moonrise. The view across the bay to Jost is unsettlingly beautiful. I will definitely return. There were so few people at Long Bay beach (just at the bottom of the road!) that it felt like a private beach. No kidding. If you’re looking for great restaurants, this may not be the place for you. The Sugar Mill was very good for dinner, and D’Best Cup in Soper’s Hole was great for breakfast. Everything else we found was mediocre, but that really didn’t matter to us because, as I said, we found we were happiest cooking at home and being mesmerized by the views. The kitchen was extremely well appointed, btw. The owners and managers were extremely kind and helpful as well.   (Ken F   vrbo   3.8.2014)

Awesome home, awesome views. Don’t stay at Towanda expecting the ordinary vacation home. It’s everything but… Be prepared for the drive in, it takes some getting used to, but it’s worth it. From the gated entry to the villa to the outside showers and the pool. Then just sit down and look at the views! What a great week.   (Phillip R   vrbo   6.24.2013)

We really loved our stay at Towanda. The management team of Sam/JC were incredible in making our stay incredible. The views are to die for! The open architecture and beautiful decorations were really thought out. Every day we discussed whether we wanted to go to the beach or just stay at the villa!

I’d come back in a moment. The owners are very nice people and very helpful. We do travel a lot and my wife said it was the most beautiful place she has ever been.

The house keeper, gardner and pool personnel where also very good at what they did and very helpful.   (Terry P   vrbo   4.9.2013)
