Summer Heights

About Summer Heights, Tortola

Summer Heights envelops you in its calm and peaceful aura - its hillside location affords long-distance ocean panoramas dotted with green islands in the distance, constant cooling tradewinds, and sets you above the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A broad staircase of Mexican coral tile leads to the sunny enclosed courtyard and expansive deck, and to the pool tiled in cobalt blue, all overlooking sweeping sea vistas. Enjoy an early morning sunrise or yachts tacking up the Sir Francis Drake Channel - the views from this villa are simply breathtaking.

A roofed poolside loggia provides a beautiful setting for casual dining and viewing sunsets, with the adjacent gourmet kitchen and bar immediately at hand. A stylish curved glass brick wall separates the kitchen from the very spacious Great Room.

Four very similar, air-conditioned king bedroom suites with baths on two levels, decorated in ocean pastels or shell pinks, are situated along the deck from the Great Room. The two lower bedroom/bath suites open onto a semi-shaded deck hung with a double hammock; the upper two bedrooms open to private balconies. Each suite features a comfortable, sink-into king bed, and has its own telephone, cable TV, VCR, radio, coffeemaker; all suites have ocean views. At the opposite end of the pool is the Turtle Dove Suite, which opens out on to the pool deck through sliding glass doors. It has a king bed, A/C, cable TV, a bath with his-and-her sinks, a bidet and large shower.

Summer Heights is a relaxed and restful haven with many enhanced amenities such as a gourmet kitchen, a computer with high-speed DSL, and a standby generator. A friendly, breezy vacation home for couples or families, this villa is conveniently located to town, shops, restaurants, and West End beaches.

Reviews for Summer Heights, Tortola

  • “We had the opportunity to spend a week at Summer Heights. We could not have chosen a better place. The villa is warm and inviting, and Barry and Roz are great hosts. The villa is located up on a hill with unobstructed views of the ocean and surrounding islands. The pictures really don't do the place justice. The views were simply breathtaking. The house is quiet and the only thing you hear is the gentle ocean. It is also a short drive away from some of the best beaches in Tortola and the town center. Each of the bedrooms also had an incredible view. The rooms also had nice comfortable beds, clean linens, and their own private bathrooms. This made it really easy for our party of 9. This house is very very clean. I'm quite particular about cleanliness and it met my expectations. There is a big kitchen with everything necessary to cook a nice meal and a great table outside to enjoy it on. The pool was great to relax in after a day of running around. We felt completely at home. Both Barry and Roz were very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that we had a enjoyable stay. Roz even called to check on our car rental and to ensure that we had reserved a suitable car. We would really recommend Summer Heights to anyone visiting BVI and hope to visit again soon.” Mitu S. / Chicago, IL
  • “Spectacular view, beautiful house, and great hosts. Barry and Ros made this vacation possible! Absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Tortola, the prices are very well worth paying.” Serena / San Francisco, CA
  • “Summer Heights is a beautiful residence with great views! The rooms were all very clean with large comfortable king sized beds and an amazing view of the ocean. The pool is great and the outside dining area made for nice cozy BBQ dinners in the evening. We had a wonderful time!” Chris &. / Cambridge, MA
  • “We spent a wonderful week at Summer Heights. We were a relatively large group and the house fit us very comfortably. Barry and Roz made us feel completely welcome and went out of their way to help us out during our stay. We spent many fun hours by the pool, in the large family room and even in the spacious kitchen! My favorite part of the house was the outdoor dining table, where we could all eat together with the beautiful views of the water and islands as a backdrop. Though there were days that we were quite happy to spend the entire day enjoying the house, the location was such that we were still able to travel quite a bit around the island and to neighboring islands. I recommend Summer Heights to anyone looking to vacation in the area. ” S
