Villa Description

Little Thatch Island is a 54-acre, privately owned island just southwest of the West End, Tortola. It is edged by a world-class white sand beach set with two West Indian style cottages on one end. Plumbago Cottage, adjacent to Seagrape Cottage, is generally set up as a beach bar and is vacant most of the year. However, from time to time the island's owners will arrive on Little Thatch for a visit. The owner's residence is located on a very high hilltop on the island, out of sight of the beach and the cottages but the owners do have use of Plumbago Cottage during the day should they wish to relax at the beach. Jon and Katy, the resident caretakers/managers, live in a house located on the other side of Little Thatch Island but are available should guests have any questions or require assistance and are available to arrange any daily activities, watersports etc. Little Thatch is truly one of the most unique and beautiful destinations of a lifetime. Treat yourselves to a castaways' vacation on a private island, far away from the hectic world and its noise and traffic, just steps from turquoise waters, coral reefs and an idyllic strand of sugar-white sand fringed with palms trees and sea grapes. Seagrape Cottage is a very secluded and fully-screened waterfront cottage set behind a stone wall; a stone and shell pathway leads through an ancient wooden door brought from England and through tropical landscaping to the Cottage's entry and the covered wraparound porch decked with gingerbread trim, perched right over the shoreline. The interior is comfortably furnished with cool Mexican tile floors overlaid with rugs, bamboo and rattan furniture, and a romantic four-poster king bed. When you arrive on Tortola, you'll be promptly met and whisked to Little Thatch Island on a private launch, where your seaside cottage will be readied with a welcome basket of snacks and drinks; extra ice will be provided to you daily. Well before your arrival, your grocery, beverage and liquor orders will be taken and your provisions stocked into Seagrape Cottage's well-equipped kitchen on the day you arrive. Included in Seagrape Cottage's rental rates is round-trip transportation to and from Soper's Hole, West End, Tortola (daytimes only) for shopping and adventures on the "mainland," and 4 evening transfers to Tortola's West End so you may visit the wide selection of West End restaurants and bars. No rental car is needed on the island, but a car rental or a taxi and driver for touring Tortola can easily be arranged. A favorite of world-renowned celebrities and of discerning travelers, Little Thatch Island is an exclusive beach haven for the very particular traveler seeking seclusion, romance and serenity in a pristine and free-spirited tropical paradise.
