Captain's House

The Captain's House has a pinnacle outlook over the north west shores of Long Bay Beach. It is a really charming two bedroom, two bath West Indian/Mediterranean Styled Home on 1.35 acres with beautiful gardens and great breezes. Very large covered porches next to pool offer cool shade all day long with continual breezes amidst the colorful aromatic floral gardens for which the West Indies are well known. Because of how the house is positioned even though it faces west and north-west, there is always a cool covered shaded area to relax and enjoy watching the passing yachts sailing along the northern coast of Tortola.
This one level home was built by Larry Adams, a well respected contractor, whose homes are built to last the test of time in the Tropics. The walls are reinforced concrete with pickled tongue and groove ceilings and heavy pickled pine beams which support the dramatically high cathedral ceilings which are structurally tied into the exterior concrete walls for additional strength in occasional inclement weather. Hurricane shutters are conveniently installed for all windows for ease of boarding.
The pool is between the spacious guest house and the comfortable main house each with large bedrooms. A walk through pantry is located beside the kitchen which leads to the outside garden and path to the laundry/pump room located on a lower level. A small breakfast bar separates the well designed pickled pine kitchen with white tiled counter tops from the comfortable living room with views over the Atlantic on one side and the lounge/pool and gardens on the other.
The views are focused above the undeveloped coconut palm-lined western sandy beach of Long Bay beach, Sandy Spit and Jost Van Dyke. This two bedroom getaway is comfortably placed on a hill side on a double lot in Belmont Grove Estate with stunning panoramic views and breezes. There is plenty of land on which to extend the house because the owners combined two lots in Belmont to create the ambiance of seclusion amongst the security of surrounding homes in one of the most popular private estates, conveniently located on the west end of Tortola. The nearby restaurants, ferries and marina facilities at Soper's Hole along with the pristine white sandy beaches of Smuggler's, Long Bay, and Apple Bay make this a great vacation or year round living home, especially attractive for anyone hunting for their dream Caribbean Retreat.
