Property Information
You can almost somersault into world renowned Smuggler's Cove from this recently completed luxury villa! Located in private Belmont Estate above the center of one the worlds most beautiful beaches, SummerSalt is tucked into the hillside on Tortola's lush northwest coast, away from the hustle and bustle of civilization yet conveniently close to West End shops, restaurants, and ferry dock up. This private home consists of two villas, each with it's own living room, kitchen, dining porch, and air conditioned bedrooms making it the perfect choice for group and family gatherings.
About the House
SummerSalt, designed by well known local architectural firm, Smith Arneborg Architects, is situated on a quiet acre at the end of a very private road with panoramic views out over the center of Smuggler's Cove to Jost Van Dyke, Little Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, Green Cay, and the Kingkish Banks beyond. Smuggler's Cove, where they filmed the remake of "The Old Man and the Sea" is just 5 minutes (really!) down a private path. Soper's Hole (& West End ferry dock), Long Bay Beach and Resort, Little Apple Bay, and Frenchman's Cay are each no more than 15 minutes away by car.
Belmont Estate is a private residential area located above a palm grove and Smuggler's Cove Beach on the northwest coast of Tortola, an idyllic spot about as far from the hustle and bustle as one can get. Estate roads aren't paved but are certainly passable. As there are several lovely beaches more easily accessible, Smuggler's is usually quiet and less visited than most.
SummerSalt is one of a just handful of private villas located on a dead-end road (no one seems to remember it's name) branching off the main estate road. From the intersection at the top, our road looks more like a private drive than a road and so gets little traffic beyond it's residents. SummerSalt is the last house and, except for an occasional lost tourist looking for the road to Smuggler's, almost no one ventures down our way. Surprisingly, SummerSalt is just a couple hundred yards above Smuggler's Cove (5 minutes down!) but well off the beaten path.
Designed for fun, easy living, SummerSalt is one of Tortola's first privately owned villas offering air-conditioned bedrooms and is furnished to the highest standard with your holiday comfort in mind. Includes are two villas allowing flexibility for extended family gathering and/or group rentals while providing privacy for all.
The main villa has a large covered dining porch, expansive living room with a dramatic vaulted ceiling and multiple sets of wide French doors opening to the dining porch and covered verandah overlooking Smugglers' Cove, the Jost channel, out islands, and down island views of Cane Garden Bay. The living room and fully equipped kitchen are connected by a 12-foot long custom-made mahogany bar/peninsula. The professionally designed kitchen is laid out to accommodate several "chefs" working simultaneously while enjoying the party. It contains a large stove, prep sink, custom mahogany cabinets, large side-by-side automatic ice making refrigerator with in-the-door water and ice dispenser, coffee machine, toaster oven, blender, corian counters, and enough pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and silverware to easily feed a large gathering. Don't want to tackle dirty dishes while the party is still going strong? Just shift everything to the work pantry containing a large double sink, dishwasher, microwave oven, more counters, cabinets & storage.
The master bedroom, located in the main villa, has wide French doors opening to the veranda, a king-sized bed, and private master bath with an even more private outdoor stone shower with views of Smuggler's and the channel beyond. The lower level has 2 bedrooms (king sized bed or 2 extra long twins in each) and a shared hall bath. All three main house bedrooms are air-conditioned and have custom-made mahogany wardrobe/closets and wide French doors opening to Smuggler's Cove.
The master suite/guest house villa has it's own cozy living room with custom mahogany cabinets and kitchen (cook top, microwave, refrigerator, sink, toaster oven, coffee machine and blender), private covered dining porch, air conditioned bedroom (queen) and private bath. And the master/suite/guest kitchen is well stocked with it's own set of pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and silverware for those quiet drinks and romantic meals.
Each of SummerSalt's two villas is equipped with a combination TV/VCR, CD stereo system, hotel safe, telephone number, and alarm clock in each bedroom. In addition, the main house has an Bose outdoor speaker system, combination fax /answering machine, cordless telephone and a collection of movies and CDs, each with about 30 titles, as well as an extensive books collection. Every room and vantage point offers unique and breathtaking views of Smuggler's Cove, Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, and the other islands.
If a 5 minute walk down to Smuggler's is just too far to go then slip into SummerSalt's cocktail/dipping pool located on the shellstone terrace between the two villas (shellstone is naturally compressed prehistoric beach imbedded with bits of shell and sea creatures). The open terrace, located just off the dining porch, has chaise lounges, chairs, a BBQ alcove, outdoor shower, beautiful stone walls, and native landscaping. The pool has a build-in bench for access and lounging the day away. The covered dining porch is situated to catch the glorious sunset beyond Gun Point and Great Thatch Island and a large mahogany dining table, plenty of chairs, and outdoor Bose speakers make Limen' the night away easy to do.
SummerSalt sleeps 8 comfortably (4 large bedrooms) and all rooms are situated to catch the soft Caribbean breezes and unforgettable views. Beautiful Mexican tile floors, casual furnishings, and ceiling fans will make your stay an easy carefree one, just the way a dream tropical vacation should be.
Weekly maid service (sparkling clean for your arrival & again mid week) is included and an on-island manager is close by to lend a hand but only when you decide you'd like assistance.
Taxi and/or rental cars, food & liquor/wine provisions, a chef, or daily maid service can be arranged to ease your stay. Wonderful local shops, fun bars, and several great restaurants are located close by.
You have the option of renting the main house only or both villas for larger parties. Rent only the main house and your privacy is assured……we never rent the guesthouse to a separate party. Or rent both villas and share it with your friends and family. Either way, make SummerSalt your island home. Go ahead and, as they say in the BVI, "Nice it up!" You deserve it.
