From Charming Beach Cottages to
Fully Staffed Villas for Rent in the Caribbean

Tara
Tortola, BVI
3 + Bedrooms and 3.5 Bathrooms (Sleeps up to 8)

Wonderfully designed in the West Indian style and very well equipped, Tara sits at the end of a tranquil West End neighborhood road for excellent seclusion. Overlooking lovely sea views and perfectly sited for cooling trade winds, this four-pavilion, hillside property is arranged in a private garden setting. From the parking area, a staircase leads up to Tara's large terrace and to the 12' x 22' pool and 6-person Jacuzzi (no heat).

Tara's first pavilion, on the west side of the pool and terrace, is the romantic master bedroom. The larger main pavilion on the opposite side of the pool comprises the Great Room, dining area and kitchen, which open to the pool terrace and thatched tiki hut with a bar.  Adjoining the Great Room is a covered garden pavilion with a fountain, dining area and ocean views. Just off it is the third pavilion with an air-conditioned office that can double as another bedroom. The fourth pavilion houses another guest room. Decorated in Caribbean colors with cool tile floors and native stone walls, Tara’s interiors flow gracefully outside to the postcard perfect views. This is a wonderfully located, very attractive house and it’s just 10 minutes away from two of Tortola’s prettiest beaches at Smuggler’s Cove and Long Bay.
