Our 3-acre hilltop property is located in The Valley, midway between and just south of, the marina and the airport (see the map). Virgin Gorda has a population of about 3500 and a total area of 21 square kilometers (about 7 miles). It is the second largest of the British Virgin Islands. The island is known for the beauty of its more than 15 white sand beaches - often framed by huge boulders; as well as for its tranquil turquoise waters. Beaches are wonderfully serene and peaceful and we are happy to advise you how to access the best ones. With the exception of the famous Baths, beaches are rarely crowded. Virgin Gorda's climate is nearly perfect year round and rain is rare. Island locals are kind and friendly people. The island's marvelous and secluded beaches are one of it's most treasured secrets. Bring your snorkel equipment and submerge yourself in the endless undersea delights that this island's oceans have to offer.

Review Submitted: January 31, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
We stayed in May 2007 and all we can say is WOW! what a beautiful island. The people are like the weather warm and inviting. The Beaches were among the most beautiful and amazing. We loved having them all to ourselves. We have traveled to many islands but we have never seen such an abundance of healthy coral reef just as you walk in to the warm waters. As for the home it was wonderful as well. Clean, warm and inviting with its beautiful trade winds. Shirleys daily visits were always a treat, either with fresh lime or tamarindos. She is a doll. We look forward to returning in a few months. Thank you for opening your lovely home to us.

We stayed at the Boulder Home this past July '07 and throughtly enjoyed ourselves. The home is just what you see, on the hilltop, overlooking beautiful beaches. It made coming home in the evening something to look forward to. We debated between the beachfront residents, resorts and stuff but a "real" home is our style of traveling. It's what I always look for and the Hunter Home fits perfectly. The ocean breezes are so much better than a/c and on the top of the mountain, well, it doesn't get any "breezer!" We slept under the sheets on July. Every room in the house has an exterior door, nice. Proches, bbq pit, sun sets and sunrises, phones (our cell even worked), transportation, it was all waiting for us. Pick-up and drop-off went just like we wanted. As far as "stuff," everything was there. Just bring some shorts! Now all this said about the Hunter houses, remember where it's at! Virgin Gorda is about as beautiful an island as there is. Uncrowded beaches, literally often had them to ourselves, the boulders, snorkeling, friendly people and good food. And that little truck took us on every road on the island. I look forward to returning to Virgin Gorda and wouldn't hesitate to stay with the Hunter's again. We stayed 9 days and recommend a 2 week stay, minimum! I like nothing more than to get about a dozen of us and rent both homes next summer. Thanks for a memorable family vacation.

Review Submitted: June 15, 2007 Date of Stay: June 2007
Last week had to be the most fantastic vacation I've ever had! We stayed for a week at the Boulder house, on Virgin Gorda and absolutely loved it! The views were so beautiful and we enjoyed being on the hilltop, with lots of privacy, versus a resort! We loved having no agenda, but did alot of wonderful snorkeling and exploring the beaches....Some of our snorkeling adventures included squid, barracuda, parrot fish and many other colorful fish. It was great to have access to the truck. The restaurants were great and we thoroughly enjoyed cooking out on the grill too....Shirley was great and was extra special to me on my birthday!
We are already talking about going back next year.....We love it there!

We have recently returned from a vacation in the Boulder House!It was truly AMAZING! The views are breath-taking, and the breezes are wonderful.My family and I went, and found the house quite spacious. My parents shared the queen sized bed, my older sister had the full bed and I had the twin bed. It was my parents fifth time, and they haven't been there for about 16 years. It was the first time for my sister and I.We are going to come back next year! We just can't stay away. Everything about the island is awesome. The music, weather,people, animals, and the fact that you can have the ENTIRE beach to yourselves! Anyways, thankyou so so much for the use of your LOVELY home. Shirley and Irma are both very sweet, and Shirley's little boy is ADORABLE. Thanks again, and I know we will be back in a few months.

We have been returning to the Boulder House for the past 4 years (sometimes coming twice in a year) and highly recommend the experience. We have used it for a romantic get-away for just the two of us and we've rented both houses and held a family reunion.
Life on Virgin Gorda is very simple and that is what we love about it. The pace is slow, there is no major tourist area (other than the Baths) and you can truly have a beach entirely to yourself.
We love that each house comes with a vehicle and I believe that this has enabled us to go to virtually every beach on the island.
If you are considering a stay at Hunter Homes - two words for you - DO IT!!
