WHALE WATCH - breathtaking peaceful & private villa overlooking Brewers Bay

Private & secluded, Whale Watch is the dream island getaway. Immersed in nature, you'll be surrounded by vibrant tropical greenery, turquoise waters and a vast expanse of azure sky

With a pool, stylish interiors, plenty of unique amenities & sweeping views, you may not want to leave. However, you're still so close to the idyllic Brewer's Bay beach & 10mins from buzzing restaurants, nightlife & beach of Cane Garden Bay

Remember to follow our socials @villasoftortola for all things BVI!

LIVING AREAS:
The views really take the centre stage from anywhere on the property at any time of day, from pastel sunrises to inky night skies brimming with stars. Having said that, the interior of the villa are also beautiful. Neutral paint, furnishings and linens create a crisp and serene space. Splashes of ocean blues, greens and turquoises bring your stunning surroundings indoors.

Whale Watch starts as it means to go on, as you enter through large wooden doors into a little courtyard with stunning ocean views. The kitchen and living room are separated by a relaxed breakfast bar (with seating for 4) where you can sit and chat whilst cooking, and the kitchen is fitted with stainless Viking appliances making cooking at the villa a pleasure. The living room is comfortably furnished with squashy sofa and arm chairs and a Roku SmartTV and local FLOW cable. The kitchen and living room have plenty of ventilation, light and air with 2 walls of sliding doors (both glass and screened) which open out onto THOSE ocean views and a beautiful covered alfresco dining area. There are also powerful Hunter ceiling fans and the option of AC.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
The bedrooms are accessed by exterior doors only, reached by a covered walkway from the front door.

1)The Primary bedroom is a few steps up from the main level front door and features a king bed with matching custom-built teak bedroom set, AC, an ensuite bathroom with shower and of course, unbelievable views. The glass sliding doors lead out onto a personal balcony overlooking the pool and the bay below. This is a truly magical spot to enjoy a morning coffee whilst watching the miles of glistening ocean ripples.

2) No arguing over bedrooms necessary as the second bedroom (accessed by a few steps leading down from the main level) also boasts a king-sized bed (that can be arranged as 2 twins), AC, ensuite bathroom with shower and glass doors that slide out out onto your own personal balcony. The views are just as dreamy from here too.

STEP OUTSIDE:
The fabulous covered al-fresco dining porch has a teak dining table and seating for 8 and a large propane grill (with rotisserie accessories and more). There is also 2 hammock chairs for chilling with a good book or cold drink.

The sun deck is truly gorgeous, with 2 cushioned loungers for catching rays on, a couple pop comfy bean bag chairs and a wonderful pool to cool off in. It also features a swim machine for the fitness enthusiast! And all with a backdrop like no other. You can access the sun deck from both bedroom balconies, the main dining porch and steps from the courtyard.


PLEASE NOTE
NOTE: While we do accept children at Whale Watch you must know that there is no interior access between bedrooms, you must go outside under a covered walkway to reach either bedroom

NOTE: The road is a very bumpy dirt track and a 4WD vehicle is essential

SECURITY CAMERA: There's a ring camera above the front gate facing out towards the driveway for security purposes, it does not overlook any living area/porch

AC: There is AC & ceiling fans throughout

HOUSEKEEPING: is once every 5 days. All linen and towels will be changed and a general cleaning will be done. Daily housecleaning can be arranged at your own expense.

WIFI: There is Wifi

PARKING: There is driveway parking for you convenience - no long slog with grocery bags or suitcases!


NEARBY
Whale Watch is located on the westerly hillside overlooking Brewers Bay on the North shore of Tortola.

BREWERS BAY (0.7 miles away)
Just under a mile away is Brewer's Bay - a quiet, tranquil white-sand beach with great snorkelling and Nicole’s Beach Bar.

MT HEALTHY NATIONAL PARK (1.6 miles away)
A 1 acre plot home to an 18th century windmill which was once used for grinding the sugarcane farmed from the steep slopes on the north shore of Tortola. An interesting and informative part of Tortola's history.

CANE GARDEN BAY (2.3 miles away)
Cane Garden Bay is a hub of nightlife with plenty of places to eat, drink and be merry. To name a few, there’s Indigo House, Myetts, Elm’s Beach Bar, Paradise Club and Quito’s Gazebo for eating and drinking right on the beach. Many of these also have live music nights and fun events.
Bobby’s Marketplace is just a few minutes’ walk away and has all the essentials for stocking up on groceries.
For beach activities, there’s plenty of places you can rent a lounger from (or just setup on the sand). The water is calm and clear and underfoot is sandy so it's an excellent place for swimming. If you're feeling adventurous, there is a shipwreck a very short swim out from the North end of the beach which is great to check out with a snorkel. There are also jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks which can be rented along the beach.
Callwood’s Rum Distillery is a great place to check out to see a local family business that has been running for over 200 years and to try some of their delicious tipples. *all these amenities mean that the cruise ship passengers come here, so look online for the "BVI cruise ship schedule" to avoid the busier days.

WINDY HILL (3.7 miles away)
Head to Stoutts Lookout for a chilled beer with an incredible view over the bay or Banakeet (Heritage Inn) restaurant for one of the best dinner spots to watch the sunset on island.

CARROT BAY (4.3 miles away)
A charming village where you'll find local fisherman, fruit stalls, North Shore Shell Museum and D’Coal Pot restaurant.

APPLE BAY (5.4 miles away)
A little village with world-class surf and a handful of bars and restaurants (Sebastian’s Seaside Grille, Sugar Mill, Tramonti) for all occasions.

ROAD TOWN (4 miles away)
Here, you'll have a choice of great restaurants, bars & coffee shops (Capriccio's, Lady Sarah's, Dragonfly, The Dove, Botella and Island Roots are some our faves), the Road Town ferry terminal which you can catch boats to Virgin Gorda & St Thomas, and plenty of shops for souvenirs (try Nutmeg & Co and EC Soap Co for locally made products and gifts). You'll also find our largest grocery stores here (Riteway Pasea Estate and OneMart Superstore) plus specialty food stores like Steakation and The French Deli.

Paradise
Gorgeous from the minute we walked through the entry from the driveway. Beautifully decorated, more than enough kitchen supplies, comfy beds, spectacular views. Plenty of lighting, always felt safe. Used the grill for a couple of dinners, perfect! Sharlene showed us around, made sure our provisions arrived, and greeted us at the ferry to show us to the property. Couldn't ask for anything else, can't wait to return!

Amazing private villa
This is an amazing villa. The location is very remote and private with an incredible view. We only left the house once during the week for a few additional provisions. Sam was so helpful with everything from the taxi and rental car to the provisioning. We can’t recommend this rental highly enough!

Whale Watch is fantastic
We couldn't be more pleased about our 6-day stay at Whale Watch. Everything was outstanding and the views are even better than the photos suggested. Sam and Sharlene were extremely responsive to all our requests. The entrance road may make some a little uncomfortable but it is no problem with 4WD car and they were improving the drive while we were there.

Stunning views, great location, very private and quiet
Our family needed a major break from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and Whale Watch was the perfect remedy. Sam, Sharlene and the team were very responsive and detailed and offered a ton of help when needed. The house is very well put together and positioned and if you’re looking for a total disconnect/relax, this is the place to go. Rain, shine or moonlight there is no better view or setting than Whale Watch. The easy and quick access to Brewers is a major plus as that one stunning beach. Can’t wait until we go back!!

What a view!
For our family, mom dad and 2 adult children, Whale Watch was the perfect size. We stayed for 10 days and we’re so sad to leave. The views of Brewers Bay are amazing! Brewers Bay is a hidden gem of a beach! Nicole’s is a nice beach bar/grill where Jennifer will serve you with a smile. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is a must, and the roads are exciting, but manageable. Whale Watch is just what a tropical paradise should be: comfortable and stunning at the same time as well as being tremendously private. The only sounds you will hear is the rush and gentle crash of the waves below.

Whale Watch Vacation
The villa is super clean with nice Viking appliances and all the amenities. Very well situated between brewers bay (one of our favorite beaches on the island) and cane garden bay. The pool is small but all you need to cool down. The view is spectacular and worth the price of admission!. Having stayed on St. John many times we were not surprised by the dirt road leading in. It’s a bit rough but you get used to it. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous, make this your home away from home on your stay!
This was a last minute booking and Sam and Sharlene took care of us like family. They arraigned a deep cleaning of the property the morning of our checkin. They were helpful to troubleshoot and issues and with any travel recommendations. The house is beautiful, the pool, the views, the kitchen, we enjoyed it all! Seriously, if we could live there, we would!!! You must book this property, you will not be disappointed. And please, do, enjoy the view!!!

Lovely stay
We got off to rocky start. Sam and staff had been good @ communication leading up to the stay, but she was offsite the day we arrived. She had a person in place for check in, but we got lost. Google maps wasn't quite getting us to the house, but luckily, some very nice locals got us there. After check in, everything ran smooth. The house is just as advertised with a beautiful view of the bay. It takes a bit to get around the island as our day trips were out of the West End, but it didn't take long for us to get our bearings. Overall, I would recommend Whale Watch for a relaxing stay in Tortola.

Lovely Stay at Brewers Bay
Our stay at Whale Watch was absolutely lovely. The property is very clean and well-maintained. There are stairs involved so just be mindful of that when staying with elderly. The property managers are wonderful and very responsive. The house is just a few minutes drive from Brewers Bay. Everything was well-stocked including beach chairs and floaties. You will most definitely want to rent a 4WD to get here and in fact to get around to the many wonderful beaches on the island. My family loved it. We have older teens, so the set up was fine for us, but be mindful this property has 4 levels, the pool level, the 2nd bedroom and bath, the living area, the master bedroom and bath. Thank you to all of the staff at Villas of Tortola for a wonderful stay.

Gorgeous Views
We had a lovely stay at whale watch. The views down to brewers bay were incredible. The house had everything we needed, was clean and even had a generator the night we lost power. The roads on Tortola are definitely some of the steepest we’ve been on and we’ve seen our fair share. There are dirt roads, rocky roads, etc. so 4 wheeled drive is definitely needed. Some of the most secluded and best beaches (Rogues, little Bay) were off the beaten path but were so worth it. Smugglers Cove is a must see. Didn’t care for Cane Garden Bay but we like to be alone or one of the only families on a beach. A day trip to Jost is a must! Thank you, Sam, for a memorable stay.

Just what we needed!
After 16 months of travel restrictions and a house full of people, Whale Watch was the perfect getaway for my wife and me. The villa is very secluded on a hill overlooking Brewer's Bay offering complete privacy. Views of the bay are stunning and very relaxing. The villa is in very good condition and comes well-stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, etc. A few minutes drive east will take you down to Brewer's Bay, which has a quiet beach and good snorkeling. You must stop at Nicole's afterwards for drinks! A few minutes in the other direction is another beautiful beach at Cane Garden Bay, which has several good restaurants and shopping. Sam was amazing to work with and ensured we had everything we needed to make this a great trip! This was our first visit to BVI. Tortola was a very safe and friendly place. Looking forward to returning soon!

Great Place. Very much enjoyed it.
We very much enjoyed our 11 day stay at Whale watch. The Villa was clean and well appointed. The view was fantastic. The property managers, Sam and team were extremely helpful in helping with transportation and all other matters (e.g. groceries) before we got there. Pinky was great in giving us a ride to the villas upon arrival after there was a mix-up with the rental car that was my fault. Highly recommend. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. The only issues were that the swim machine wasn't working and the gas grill did not work well and should probably be replaced or at least fixed. But these were not major issues. The pool was great. We enjoyed it every day. Kitchen was well stocked. The dirt/rock road to the villa is quite challenging and not for the faint of heart but that's not their fault, just wanted to mention it. We used the 4 wheel drive function only once when it was raining. It was nice that there were beach chairs, umbrellas and even a few noodles that we took full advantage of. Check out Smugglers Cove beach. It was our favorite beach. Rough road but worth the effort. Bananakeet was a good restaurant with a fantastic sunset view. Overall, as mentioned, we enjoyed the Villa, the view, and the privacy of the Villa. Great Place.

Beautiful house in a great location on the island. My wife and another couple stayed for 10 days in March. Private, quiet, clean, beautiful outside area, nice kitchen, nice bedrooms. However, the real winner is the view. It's amazing! I would certainly stay here again. The place worked out great for our trip.

Paradise Found
Absolutely beautiful home and location high on the hill overlooking Brewer's Bay. Love the sunrise over the mountain, if you want a good sunset, it's a short drive down to Cane Garden Bay. Would recommend 4 WD or AWD vehicle for the dirt road portion coming in to and leaving the property. Sam was very responsive to us when we were there. We would come back to this property in a heartbeat!

Great location looking over Brewer's Bay
The property was exactly as pictured. It had a beautiful view overlooking Brewer's Bay and was only a 5 minute drive to the beach. The location was only 10-15 minutes to road town and other beaches. Sam, the property manager, was easy to communicate with and provided the information needed to get around. He assisted us with a rental car and provisions for arrival. The internet was sporadic which was not terribly impactful until we had to do a proctored covid test before returning to the US. Sam directed us to a couple of places in town where there was consisted wi-fi and we were able to complete our test. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and the communication with the property team. Thanks!
