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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

What A View!!!
The Whale Watch Villa is as listed!!! Beautiful views don't even do it justice! Villa was clean and really had anything you would need. Beds were comfortable. The pool was awesome with the swimming machine in it. We used it everyday to exercise. Sharlene and Sam were great to deal with and made it so easy. The provisioning of the villa made life so easy when we got there. Great beaches nearby along with restaurants and bars. I would have given it a 5 star but the drive into the villa is a bit of a test. But we rented a 4 wheel drive vehicle and it was easy after the first day. Not for everyone but well worth it when you get there! The outside eating area was perfect with a breeze everyday and perfect views! Awesome place and easy to arrange! Loved it!!!
