About this property

A Secluded "Walk to Beach" Villa

For those desiring a true Caribbean getaway vacation with easy access to the beach and exceptional privacy Smugglers Lookout should be on your short list. The villa is roomy yet intimate, has 180 degree panoramic ocean vistas but is only a few minute stroll to the beach, is luxurious for adults yet offers some of the best amenities (like our turtle pen) for children.

Surrounded by acres of privately held land and abutting what is slated to become Belmont National Park, Smugglers Lookout provides privacy and serenity where guests enjoy spectacular and uninterrupted panoramic sea views in a quiet surrounding where often no man-made noises can be heard.

Families with children will love our “Turtle Pen” featuring our 3 red footed tortoises named Albert, Scratcher, and Tortilla and now their off spring (2 babies)

When not at the villa to find some of the BVI’s finest recreational activities and dining you won’t have to go far. The villa is situated directly across from what is slated to become Belmont National Park, is a short walk to Smugglers Cove, about ½ mile to Long Bay (great for boogie boarding and long beach walks), and about 1 mile to Cappoons Bay (Apple Bay) one of the area’s premier surf locales. Some of the finest restaurants are also among these areas with Sopers Hole just over the hill featuring a marina, shopping, and more dining.

Your villa also includes use of our “toys” including kayaks, paddle board, surfboards, and others that may not only save you a lot of money, but add to your vacation by having immediate and unlimited use of these benefits. Remember, this is also our home so we have a number of items available for use that are not listed that may not be found in a traditional rental. Make sure to call or email and we can address any specific vacation goals you might have.

This is not a high volume rental property and we are looking for families wishing to experience this magical area of the BVI who will look out after our place. No party'ers please.

Just steps to the best beach on the island
We had a marvelous time at Smuggler’s Lookout. I am convinced there is no better location on the islands. Smuggler’s Cove is the best beach on Tortola: perfect sand, snorkeling, few people…and a couple of ramshackle bars cooking jerk chicken! The house is about as close as you can get to the beach. The house is wonderful and Marilyn takes such good care of it. Our family will cherish the experience and memories from this vacation. We loved the history packet on the house. That part makes things all the more special.

Belmont Hill retreat
Loved the house with amazing views. It is indeed a 4-5 minute walk to Smugglers Cove. Beach was enjoyed by all ages. The turtles were a huge hit with the under 10 crowd.

Wonderful!
We had a great 3 nights stay at Smuggler’s Lookout! Dave was an attentive host and answered all our questions. Marilyn the house manager met us upon arrival and was always available with any question . We fed the cat and the turtles with any vegetable scraps we had. That was if the chickens didn’t get to it first!! The house has every amenity and the decor was perfect. The house is so close to the beach. The view is amazing! Just perfect! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Exactly as advertised
This is a beautiful home, well appointed and cared for. The covered verandah was a perfect setting, as was the dining area. Marilyn was responsive to all questions. We all very much enjoyed our week here.

About the host

Host profile image
The photo shows our boys hauling in a monster lobster they spotted on a family snorkel. With no equipment on them, they engineered a snare on the beach, held their breath and dove down to catch dinner. With the exception of Dave - Carolina, John and Derek were born and raised on Tortola and we have spent time exploring the BVI with a passion. Whether discovering our secret lobster and fishing spots, to surfing little known breaks, to exploring islands and hideaway beaches, we have certainly made the most of our time in the BVI. As winners of the "How well do you know the BVI?" contest it is safe to say that we are true "locals."

We are a very active outdoorsy family and all of us have an abundant appreciation for the beauty and the activities that surround us. We have been regular participants in the local sporting scene. Among our family is a BVI national champion triathlete, a 2 time Junior National 5k champion as well as winners of local Judo, cycling, fishing, tennis, paddle boarding, and swimming events.

We have recently moved from Tortola to further our children's educational opportunities and are pleased to open our home to others who share the same appreciation for the area. We would be delighted to host you and share our decades of experience living in the BVI to help you maximize your vacation!

Why they chose this property

We were fortunate enough to pick our parcel of land and then construct a home to our liking. Having grown up in the BVI, we were very familiar with some of the challenges of living on an island. We wanted easy access to the beach, but did not want to be right on the beach due to hurricane surges, sand flies, and the fact that beaches are open to the public 24 hours a day. We desired a view but did not wish to have to drive to the beach. Further, we wanted to build in a high end community with great privacy that was close to some of the islands best sporting opportunities. The areas finest swimming/snorkeling, mountain biking, paddle boarding/kayaking, hiking and surfing are immediately accessible from our villa.

What makes this property unique

This is our family's home. In fact it was the only home our children have known and now that it is available as a short term rental, there are many unique benefits.

All bedrooms have their own private balcony and bathroom. Our downstairs suite is accessed through its own entrance, has a kitchenette, living area, desk, outdoor shower and can sleep 2-5 making it ideal for a multiple family vacation.

With your rental we offer a number of our personal "toys" which could result in saving you hundreds of even thousands of dollars. Paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, etc. come with your stay. Perhaps better than the cost savings is simply the convenience of having these options ready to use at any time.

For kids, our Turtle Pen housing our 3 Red Footed Tortoises Albert, Scratcher, and Tortilla is a highlight and much talked about aspect of the villa. We now have baby tortoises as well.

Power cuts are frequent and we have a standby generator. If power goes the generator goes on automatically so you don't have to do anything.

Rain squalls can make outdoor dining problematic, but not in our villa. Our outdoor dining patio is in the lee of the wind and under a massive covered deck allowing dining in such conditions.

With the combination of a stellar location, great accommodation, and personal touches not found elsewhere this villa is ideal for families or even multi families looking for a true Caribbean vacation experience.
