5 Bedroom Villa in Havers Estate

This beautiful Tortola vacation home is approached up a winding road through the breezy green hills of the private residential area known as Havers Estate. On arrival, a broad staircase of Mexican coral tile leads through the double entry doors to a sunny enclosed courtyard with an expansive deck of crushed coral and the swimming pool, lined with cobalt blue tiles.  
A roofed poolside area provides a beautiful setting for casual dining, with the adjacent gourmet kitchen and bar immediately at hand. A curved glass brick wall separates the kitchen from the very spacious lounge. Here you find comfortable, overstuffed sofas for lounging in front of the TV, as well as a computer desk. The desktop computer has WiFi and long distance calls can be made by VOIP using Skype or MagicJack. 
 
Just along the deck from the lounge, are four similar bedroom suites. The two lower suites open onto a semi-shaded deck hung with a double hammock while the upper two open to private balconies. The fifth suite opens directly onto the pool deck. This room also features a sitting area and a walk-in closet. Each of the five suites has a beautiful ocean view and features an impressive teak king four-poster bed with deep comfortable mattress, ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning and cable TV with VCR.  
 
Summer Heights is a luxury Tortola villa rental property and a relaxed and restful haven conveniently located to town, shops, restaurants and West End beaches. It is an easy fifteen minute drive to Road Town where you will find the three main fully stocked supermarkets. The closest beach is at Long Bay, a ten minute drive west and Smuggler's Cove, which we think is Tortola's best beach, is just another few minutes further on. Nanny Cay Marina, a watersports and boating centre, is less than five minutes from Summer Heights. From here, you can rent snorkel gear, arrange SCUBA diving, rent a powerboat or take surfing lessons.  
 
Barry & Rosalind Rice, the owners of Summer Heights, personally built and now maintain the villa in immaculate condition. Originally from England, their own accommodations are tucked away on the lower eastern side of the property, completely separate from the villa's amenities. For more than 20 years, they have hosted guests on their beautiful 72-foot sailing yacht, Endless Summer II, in the BVI. If she is not on charter, ask about the possibility of a day sail to one of the neighbouring islands. Barry & Roz are always available to offer advice on where to go & what to do. However, they will respect your wish for total privacy, if you so indicate.

There are frequent inter island ferry services which allow day trips to neighbouring islands - explore The Baths in Virgin Gorda, enjoy the Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay in Jost Van Dyke or go shopping in St Thomas. 
 
The best Tortola beaches are on the north shore. Smuggler's Cove is a favourite and a short distance away. Cane Garden Bay is very safe for children and has water toys for rent. In winter, when the north swell is running, Surf's Up at Josiah's Bay and Apple Bay. 
 
Sage Mountain National Park allows nature lovers to enjoy the tropical plants and vegetation while taking an easy hike around the trails. The views from here are outstanding. 
 
Callwood's Rum Distillery in Cane Garden Bay continues several hundred years of tradition making rum "the old fashioned way"! It's an interesting step back into history and you can sample the rums after the tour!
