STARGAZER - ocean-view villa, pool & 4 en-suite bedrooms near Smuggler's Cove

Wake up to views of Jost Van Dyke and Little Tobago, take your coffee out onto the balcony and spend lazy afternoons by the turquoise pool. Stargazer is a relaxed, colourful villa high above Long Bay and Smuggler's Cove, two of our favourite beaches, both a few minutes' drive (or a pretty walk) down the hill.

All 4 bedrooms have AC, ocean views and their own bathroom, so there's no arguing over rooms. The house is split over two levels with a big terrace on each, so it works beautifully for families or two couples sharing.

Evenings are all about the back patio, with its built-in bar, gas BBQ, Adirondack chairs and ocean-view dining. Grill up a local lobster and watch the stars come out. It's not called Stargazer for nothing!

Our team at Villas of Tortola would love to welcome you!

LIVING AREAS:
Thoughtfully designed, Stargazer is arranged over two storeys with a spacious outdoor terrace in the centre of each level. The terraces divide the house into two but provide an easy connection, making it the perfect villa for both couples and families.

The main house consists of an airy open-plan kitchen, dining & living room with a convenient half-bathroom. You’ll be immediately greeted with sweeping ocean views to the front. These combined with high cathedral ceilings, and its striking signature round window creates a room flooded with natural light & cool air flow. There’s more than enough room for you and your whole party to kick back and relax in and to your left as you enter you’ll find a generously sized L-shape sofa and 50 inch wall-mounted flat screen TV. Large glass sliding doors make up almost the entire of the front wall, not only allowing for glimmering azure vistas but also spacious front balconies to enjoy a morning coffee from. The kitchen area is equally generous in size and fully equipped, with a large delphinium blue tile-topped island running through the middle. This ample workspace also doubles up as a handy breakfast bar with high stools. A stainless-steel double fridge/freezer (plus another single fridge/freezer), built-in 4-ring stove, oven and dishwasher make for the perfect kitchen for catering for big groups. Finally, an indoor dining area with room for 8 overlooks neighbouring islands and if you catch a glimpse of candy-floss pink it may even be a flamingo grazing in Belmont Pond.

BEDROOMS:
There are 4 bedrooms at Stargazer, all with bright & cheery painted furniture,AC,  ocean views & ensuites so no arguing over bedrooms necessary!

1) A short sunlight-filled stroll across the terrace from the kitchen will lead you to the two bedrooms on the ground floor. The first you’ll reach has a king-bed & spacious ensuite bathroom with glass-tiled walk-in shower letting in the Caribbean sunshine.

2) This king room connects to a twin bedroom (making it the perfect choice for parents with children). This room also has its own ensuite & the novel extra option of an outdoor shower!

3) A quick hop up the external stairs (accessed from the very spacious outdoor patio to the rear of the house) will take you up to the top 2 bedrooms & next huge outdoor terrace! A second king suite greets you to your left, complete with high vaulted ceilings, playful artwork, access to a little balcony to the front with those gorgeous ocean views & ensuite bathroom with glass tiled walk-in shower.

4) A queen room is to the right as you come up the stairs, again with access to a balcony with ocean views, unique hand-painted wooden doors, and ensuite bathroom with glass tiled walk-in shower.

STEP OUTSIDE:
Like any great vacation villa, the outdoor areas are just as important as the indoors at Stargazer. Upon entry from the driveway, you’ll reach a cooling turquoise pool. Surrounded by nothing but the song of the birds & the rustling of lush tropical greenery, the pool area is a true oasis. Chill on the loungers & catch some rays or enjoy a glass of something cold while dipping your toes in. A really special part of this villa is the amazing patio at the back of the house. A purpose built bar with built-in gas BBQ, outdoor sink & bar stools create an amazing entertaining area. This coupled with a set of Adirondack chairs & coffee table make for the perfect place to grill up a local Anegada lobster under the stars. This area is conveniently right by the kitchen & downstairs covered dining terrace complete with custom-made mahogany dining table. Dinner with an ocean view never gets old! The upstairs sun terrace is another great place for chilling – with sun loungers & a great vantage point, you’ll find it hard to leave!
