Your TROPICAL Yellowstone !

Stunning Views! Host was excellent, met us upon arrival and also helped with some last minute logistics with rental cars, taxis etc. on our day of travel. House had everything we needed to cook dinners, plenty of beach towels for our large crew! Had a minor maintenance issue with wash and they had someone out the next day. Loved the location of the home and the beautiful long bay hotel and beach just minutes down the road. Would love to visit Villa Towanda again!

What a beautiful, private home with great views and easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches in BVI (Smugglers Cove, Long Bay and all of the North shore beaches). Also- a very short and easy drive to West End Ferry/Sopers Hole. Makes arrival/departure easy, but also makes day trips (or even half day visits) to JVD on ferry easy, as well as day charters that are available out of Sopers Hole. LOVE the open kitchen and shared living spaces. Great lighting, pool and landscaping. This is like stepping back 40 years when new homes had character and charm without sacrificing luxury or comfort. We have been going to BVI/Tortola for many years. MANY of the newer homes are modern and stark. They are beautiful, but missing that sense of place and history. I truly loved this home; it is filled with love and nature. Great location. Very Private. Close to best beaches and restaurants of Tortola. My only recommendation- rent a car that isn't too big, but has plenty of power (small suv). The road is very steep and narrow, but worth the views and privacy!!!

A spacious well laid out villa with a breath taking view of the beaches, islands and sunsets. Pinky was great answering all our various questions and sourcing fresh lobster and fish for us!.. ymmm. We mostly dined in to take advantage of the sunsets and great dining area on the deck. Thanks to all to help us make this a wonderful too short stay..

For two weeks we enjoyed the incredible view and comfort of Towanda. As we travelled around Tortola we realized that the west end is the place to be. The quiet and relatively empty beaches made for an incredibly relaxing holiday. To add to the exceptional stay was the the incredible hospitality of the team taking care of things. From arranging a taxi to having groceries in the fridge when we arrived. Thank you for sharing your home!

Villa Towanda shocked my family with its incredible views and layout. It was private. relaxing and stunningly beautiful. Best vacation we have ever taken!

Our group of 6 absolutely LOVED this villa... Sharlene and crew were a delight to work with. Everything about Towanda is great. I am missing the wonderful views already!!! It's lay out is perfect for everyone to have plenty of privacy if wanted. We cooked daily in the well designed kitchen and grilled lots on the grill. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us... we will return for sure! The outdoor rock shower (which is not in the photos) was wonderful!!! I would also highly recommend renting your car with Dede's, Deadman was wonderful to work with as well!

We had such a great time at Towanda during a 4 day stay in January that we are returning for a week in May! What more can we say.

What a beautiful home! We loved the open air concept and it had amazing views! The sounds of crashing of the waves through the day and frogs at night and only a 10 minute drive to 2 amazing beaches!! Travel to the house did require a 4x4 and after a time or 2 we got used to the drive. The home was very clean and well maintained, customer service from the team was excellent - a few check ins to make sure had everything we needed. We loved Towanda and will be returning!!

Quite a lovely villa. Beautiful pool and views. Very unique. Everything is open air, but we were not in the least bit hot. I highly recommend staying at this incredible retreat.

As others have said in previous reviews, the house is beautiful and the view is incomparable. The management and housekeeping staff are helpful, personable, and just plain nice. Having rented homes all over the Caribbean for the last 20 years we've come to expect certain things both good and bad about any property we rent. Towanda was no different. I read other reviews (including a very negative one that has disappeared) and felt confident that the lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms wouldn't be an issue in December. I was wrong. Mosquito nets block most of the airflow and sleeping without them would mean being eaten alive. Even with the ceiling fan and a stand fan blowing directly on us, my husband and I were miserable. We moved from the master bedroom to the lower bedroom due to the horribly uncomfortable mattress only to find that there was very little airflow to the lower room. For homes in this rental price range the lack of a/c is simply unacceptable especially considering the very real threat of Zika, Dengue, and breakbone fever. Speaking of which: be forewarned- this is truly an open air home. There is absolutely no way to get away from the bugs after sundown. And folks, these are Caribbean mosquitos. They LIKE the taste of DEET. I have more than 40 bites on me and I kept myself covered in toxic spray all day. The house is beautifully decorated but unfortunately there are only two truly comfortable seats in the entire house. (The dining chairs can be made more comfortable by doubling the seat cushions if need be.) There is a fantastic commercial stove but no sharp knives. An immersion blender, but no simple whisk. A beautiful pool that was never warm enough to swim in. I've never been anywhere that the ocean was warmer than a pool! And it was. Easily 10 degrees colder than the ocean. The owners need to consider that while they may love their home as it is, we are paying guests and as such, are looking for value for our vacation dollar. As much as we enjoyed our time on Tortola, our accomodations were so much less than we had hoped for. I found the property on VRBO but got a better rate through another rental agent. Please consider the very real threat of mosquito-borne disease when thinking about renting this property. One last thing: the drive to the property is not for the faint of heart. One lane wide with two way traffic, blind curves, and incredibly steep hills.
