A very special waterfront villa on its own private peninsula, this 6-bedroom home sits at the end of Mattie Point, with water on three sides and Gorda Peak behind. South Sound is a spectacular secluded area of Virgin Gorda, where you hear the waves breaking on the reef and your neighbors are pelicans, turtles and fish. To one side you'll see the Hurricane Hole and to the other is Great Hill. On the far side of Great Hill are fun places to visit such as Biras Creek, Saba Rock, and Bitter End Yacht Club.

Swim in the infinity-edge pool overlooking the sound or snorkel off the private dock to some of the best underwater viewing on the island. If you’re a little more adventuresome, take the villa’s rubber boat out to the 5000 foot reef for more snorkeling fun or motor over to the Hurricane Hole for exploration. Thrill-seekers may even want to try out the villa’s sailboard on the Sound.

The Main House

The rental vacation villa has been designed to let the ocean breezes and sunlight surround you. The Mexican-clay-tile main floor is a free flowing area, including a living room with a built-in CD entertainment system, dining room and fully-equipped kitchen with a seating bar for drinks. Double French doors along both front and back of the villa open to beautiful ocean views. A 12-foot wide covered front deck stretching the entire length of the house is a great place for a casual lunch, a romantic candlelit dinner or your afternoon nap in the hammock or chaise. The 8-foot garden deck, with propane BBQ, will give you all the sun you want. Even the main floor bathroom extends into the outdoors, through sliding glass doors to the glass block enclosed double shower.

The U-shaped kitchen is equipped with a large side-by-side ice-maker refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and electric self-cleaning range. A complete set of kitchen utensils, small appliances and cookware is provided as well as glasses/dinnerware for 16. We also maintain a large selection of spices and basic condiments/supplies for your use.

Upstairs, you will find two bright and cheery bedrooms with walk-in closets, seating for two and overhead fans. One bedroom has a king size pillow-top bed, and the other has two twins. The bathroom’s oversized shower has two sliding windows, which can be recessed into the wall, providing a great view of South Sound and the mountains that surround it. A bridge, open to the first floor, connects the bedrooms. Extra guests can sleep on the queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

The Pool

The horizon-edge 12,000 gallon pool is 5-ft to 8-ft deep with its own rock waterfall and lots of tile decks all overlooking South Sound. The pool deck has 6 chaise lounges and a 50-inch table with four chairs. If you want to lounge near the pool, but be out of the sun, enjoy the additional covered deck, which also has a 50-inch table, four more chairs and an entrance to the lower shower. Enjoy a drink at our covered poolside wet bar.

Pool Wing

Our pool wing has four more bedrooms and two bathrooms in a separate structure, connected by a bridge to the Main House and overlooking the pool.

The main floor includes the master bedroom area, a second bedroom, a bathroom with a glass-block enclosed shower, and a covered veranda with chairs, chaise lounge and tables, overlooking the pool and South Sound.

The master bedroom features a sitting area with rattan queen sleeper sofa, loveseat and tables, 12-foot glass sliders to the veranda, views of South Sound on three sides and a king size pillow-top bed. The second bedroom is furnished with a queen pillow-top bed, overlooks the pool and has double French doors opening to the veranda.

The pool deck bedroom has a queen pillow-top bed, overlooks the pool and deck and connects to the lower level bathroom and shower.

The top floor bedroom has a queen size pillow-top bed and provides 360 degree views of South Sound and the mountains that surround the villa. Each bedroom has its own closet and accessory seating.

Tropical landscaping surrounds both buildings and the pool, with new plantings continually being added. The villa also has cement driveways/parking area and perimeter fencing/cattle guard to keep cattle out.

Directions:
Our rental rates include BVI 7% tax and maid service midweek and weekend of your stay. Other arrangements can be provided. South Sound Road, which leads to the villa, connects to the main government road, running between the Valley and Gunn Creek. South Sound Road is a one lane island road about 1 mile long, which goes through pasture land with cattle and is for the most part level and flat and easy to drive on. There are three gates, which, if closed, will need to be opened and then closed again after you pass through. The cattle are peaceful and will cause you no harm. If they happen to be in your way, just slowly pass by them. We recommend a jeep be secured for your transportation while on the island, although several different types of rental vehicles are available. We can arrange a rental for you and have the agency we work with pick you up at your point of entry. They will have the villa key, as well as a map to guide you to the villa. Weekly rates start at $255.50 for a 2-door Samurai. Contact us for details. The villa has a guest book for your comments, as well as booklets with information on dining spots, maps, and information on what to do on Virgin Gorda plus books on the history, flora and fauna of the area.
