Space
🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
The Garden Suite includes 2 floors - The Studio (bottom floor), the Garden Suite (Ground floor) interconnected by an internal staircase. Bright and refreshing, the décor uses Caribbean and tropical hues and complementary artwork.
On the Ground floor, you'll find an airy open-plan kitchen and living room filled with sunlight and comfortable Caribbean furnishings. They're only separated by a sociable breakfast bar and island, perfect for chatting whilst preparing meals. The well-equipped kitchen area has all the essentials for self-catering (note there is cooktop only, no oven). 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, SmartTV with FLOW cable and hi-speed WIFI.
🛏️. BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1)The ground floor bedroom and bathroom continue on with the bright and breezy feeling of the villa, with plenty of space, a king-sized bed, AC, ocean views and a spacious 3-piece bathroom with walk-in shower. The bathroom provides ample dresser and closet space too.
2)The bottom floor (Studio) is a cosy self-contained apartment that is very private from the Garden Suite. It has a king-size bed, 32" SmartTV, kitchenette with coffee-maker and a spacious bathroom with shower and single vanity. It also has its own entrance.
☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
Set in a colourful flowering garden with Palm trees you can eat, drink, laugh and lounge on the spacious and sociable deck of Moonstone. There are 2 sun loungers for catching those rays and a covered porch with teak dining set and a built-in gas BBQ. Take a nap in the hammock or cool off in the much envied plunge pool. You really couldn’t ask for a more special place to enjoy BVI’s fiery sunsets, clear night skies bursting with stars or rolling lush green mountains.
Sliding glass and screen doors from the Studio also lead to your own private deck with 2 lawn chairs to enjoy more ocean views over Long Bay.

🚗 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.
