British Virgin Islands holiday villa: Tortola

SPECIAL: Stay 7/Pay 6 or Stay 10/Pay 8 when you book after 2/12/09 and travel before 12/18/09

Fringed by a fabulous white sand beach, & surrounded by shady trees and natural landscaping, Seashell's Zen ambience invites you to relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of gentle surf. Two air-conditioned stone pavilions (edged with wooden decks, and set with chaise lounges, table & chairs) house 2 king suites that are separated for privacy.

Seashell's main pavilion features a Great Room with sitting room, dining & kitchen areas, and 1 of the king suites. Furnishings are of seagrass, carved wood, bamboo & teak, all harmoniously combined with natural stone walls, coralstone floors & locally-crafted mahogany woodwork. Banks of windows on 3 sides of the main pavilion frame green flora & blue skies outside, and usher cooling sea breezes in. The gourmet kitchen is modern & efficient, with all stainless-steel appliances including Bosch gas cooktop. The spacious king suite features a wonderful master bath with glass tile & Italian vanity with a glass sink.

Just across the deck, fringed with seagrape trees, is the 2nd master king suite in its own private pavilion. This suite offers satellite TV & DVD player, and french doors which open directly onto the sand beach and live reefs beyond, for snorkeling adventures; just around the point is the serene beauty of Well Bay Beach.

Seashell's superb location, within a gated compound just 30' from the ocean's edge, and an artful blending of nature and beauty with modern conveniences, make this lovely seaside vacation home a very desirable choice.

PLEASE NOTE: Surfsong Villa Resort is just next door, and their beach pavilion is nearest Seashell - about 25' from Seashell's great room dining area. Please be aware that, at times, there may be audible music & conversation from next door, but when we visited, we found the noise level (reggae music playing) entirely reasonable. The bedroom suite's air-conditioning should block out most evening noise, should you wish to retire rather early.

Please note: Christmas/New Years require a 10-night minimum and Thanksgiving rentals require a 7-night minimum.

Security Deposit $500.
