Virgin Gorda

Sandcastle, Mahoe Bay

Villa description

Located right on the beach at Mahoe Bay, Sandcastle Villa offers five private bedrooms surrounding a private tropical garden and overlooking the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Excellent snorkeling and scuba diving are available right off the beach in front of Sandcastle, on the two fringing reefs which keep the beach calm and protected for pleasant swimming.

Sandcastle’s outdoor activities begin at the spacious beach front patio with its forty foot fresh water swimming pool surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens. The sun terrace and verandah are only steps away from an outside icemaker and drinks bar. The outdoor covered terrace provides a shaded lounge and dining area, including a gas grill. Nestled nearby in the garden is a spacious private Jacuzzi.

Sandcastle’s Great Room is furnished in charming Caribbean style, and combines two living areas, one for conversation and one for entertainment, dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen with centre island wet bar, with a powder room nearby.

On one side of the Great Room is the air-conditioned master king suite. Just beyond the breezeway is Sandcastle’s north pavilion with the second and third air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites, and across the garden courtyard and fountain is the fourth air-conditioned suite with two double beds.

    Sandcastle Villa was a beautiful home. Included five bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Indoor and outdoor shower in most if not all of the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinners each night while we were there. Right off from the kitchen was an outdoor kitchen area – grill, small fridge and icemaker. It had a large indoor dining table inside next to the living room. However, we didn’t use it once because there was a huge patio dining table under the covered porch. It was too beautiful outside to want to be indoors. After dinner each night was spent on the outdoor sofas with plenty of room for all of us.

    The property itself was beautiful. Large pool, corn hole, 2 kayaks, and the best part was being steps away from Mahoe Bay. We could walk right onto the beach from our back yard. The beach, snorkeling and blue waters were amazing. There were only a handful of other people on the beach during our entire stay. Only 10-15 mins from the ferry station. Close to a couple of small grocery stores. I would highly recommend staying at Sandcastle villa on Mahoe Bay.

    Trudi (Best of BVI) was great with helping to make trip arrangements. Heather was wonderful and helped us while on site. She stayed in constant contact with us during the week to ensure our stay was good.

    Thank you so much for all your help and for such a wonderful vacation. We really loved Virgin Gorda and it’s now ranked as our favorite Caribbean Island! We will definitely be back. It’s worth the travel all the way from the West Coast of the USA. :-).Thanks again for all your help with planning and organizing this special vacation.
