Trudi’s personal opinion

From the impressive 18ft high vaulted ceiling in the Great Room to the simply stunning panoramic ocean vistas, from the elegant bedroom suites with alfresco showers to the upscale kitchen in the open plan Great Room, Blackbeard’s Hideaway is absolutely exquisite. The location is pretty perfect – secluded on Steele Point Peninsular but just a few minutes’ drive to the nearest beaches, local restaurants and stores. Blackbeard’s Hideaway is an outstanding villa ideally suited for a honeymoon, two couples or a small family. This impeccable property is definitely one of the best vacation villas on Tortola. Highly recommended!

    How did you find the booking process?
    Extremely easy. Worked closely with Trudi King who was very helpful throughout the entire process.

    Were you satisfied with the response time and quality of help provided?
    Trudi and her Team are very responsive. They provided a great customer experience.

    How would you rate the villa/inn?
    Blackbeard’s Hideaway: the most beautiful villa we’ve ever stayed in. The accommodations were Perfect for two couples. Two duplicate master suites on either side of the living area. The doors opened up completely to the outside living area over looking the beautiful infinity pool and the Caribbean Sea. The view is outstanding.

    How would you rate the facilities?
    A+++

    Is there anything you would recommend be added or removed from the property?
    The only add I would like to see is a hot tub.

    How would you rate the services of the owner/on-island manager?
    Lucienne, Astley and Charmaine were superb. Extremely helpful from start to completion of our stay. The provisioning was a huge plus. We all loved the fact that we did not have to go to the grocery store after arriving to the Villa. Everything needed was already on-site and, placed in the refrigerator, freezer or on the large island in the lovely kitchen.

    How would you rate the services of the housekeeper/maid?
    Charmaine did a fantastic job. She visited the villa every day and, asked if we needed anything else. She could not have been nicer or more polite and helpful.

    How would you rate the services of the gardener/pool attendant?
    Astley was around the property/villa every day whether we needed him or not. He initially met us a mile or so from the villa in Soper’s Hole upon our arrival after picking up our Jeep rental and, led us directly to the villa. He gave us a tour & introduced us to Blackbeard’s Hideaway.

    Did the villa/inn meet your expectations?
    Blackbeard’s Hideaway was exceptional. We loved everything about it. We will stay again when visiting the BVI and Tortola…..without question.

    Would you recommend the villa to others?
    Blackbeard’s Hideaway is a must when staying on Tortola. Perfect for two (or one) couples.

    Two other comments I must point out about the Support Team for Blackbeard’s Hideaway/Steele Point.
    1). Lucienne, Astley and Charmaine continuously went above and beyond every single day. Picking up and delivering additional items that we did not originally select in our Provisioning order.
    2). On our day of departure, I personally left behind my medicine and portable cooler pack. Once back in St. Thomas, I realized that I had forgotten them at the villa. I immediately contacted Lucienne who told me she’d take care of it. The next day, I met a water taxi driver who delivered both items to Red Hook, St. Thomas. Issue resolved without a hitch. Impeccable service. Many thanks to Lucienne and her Team.

    Our trip was wonderful! Blackbeard’s was more than we could have imagined. Perfect for two couples. Every time I walked in the front door I just couldn’t believe that was the view. Couldn’t get enough of it! I would rate the villa 10/10, I would go back in a heartbeat. The views from Blackbeard’s cannot be compared by any other view on the Island. The villa was top notch.

    The villa manager was wonderful and very attentive. The booking process with Best of BVI was wonderful. Easy and efficient! Trudi is such a thorough and detailed person to work with.

    We would like to thank you for your recommendation of Blackbeard’s Hideaway. We had a great time and the villa suited our needs perfectly. As before, working with Best of BVI was straight forward and professional. We were very satisfied with the booking process.

    BH was very nice, based on other villas we have stayed at on Tortola we would give it 8 out of 10. The villa was attractive, comfortable and clean. The facilities were very nice, we would recommend a safe in one of the bedrooms. The housekeeper was very attentive. The villa met our expectations and we would recommend it to others.

    We have been traveling to Tortola several times over the past few years, and appreciate Trudi’s knowledge of the islands, properties, and overall professionalism. We look forward to planning each trip, and feel comfortable that in working with Trudi, we are confident in what to expect.

    Couldn’t have been better! All questions were answered immediately, and this made choosing a villa much easier. We are so happy we used Best of BVI! We could not be happier with the level of service, the villa, and the timely and always courteous response to our questions. Simply gorgeous! Comfortable beds, beautiful furnishings, and wonderful pool. Loved the outdoor showers and travertine floors! The only issues were lack of hot water in one bathroom sink, and a very sticky freezer door, making access to the freezer difficult. The grounds and pool are beautiful! Did the villa meet our expectations? Above and beyond! We’d recommend the villa to others without hesitation! The villa and view were simply incredible and we had a wonderful time. The information provided on the website was extensive and so helpful. Trudi is wonderful and always available to help. Can’t wait to use Best of BVI again! We’re so glad you recommended Blackbeard’s Hideaway to us, and would love to stay there again.

    Booking the flights was a bit “bumpy” this time. Thank you for helping us. Blackbeard’s Hideaway was excellent in every way, it was even better than expected, we’d definitely recommend it to others. I would not know what to say. I had a great time there and hope to do that again. The perfect location, the perfect lodging, almost the perfect weather. And I usually do not get euphoric easily. We had a wonderful time on Tortola. The house is a dream and we definitely will have to repeat this.
