I'm not sure which to gush about first, the hosts or the home. Either way, both made this trip absolutely stellar. The home feels like something out of Conde Nast magazine with it's flawless West Indies architecture and spot on interior decor. Pearl hasn't skimped on anything with beautiful and plentiful linens, down filled pillows and mattresses, and luxury towels. She offers a desktop computer and even a local cell phone for away-from-home conveniences. Wherever you are on the property or in the house, you have one of the most epic views on the island. The amenities on the property alone; gas fire pit, cliff side pool, bbq and outside dining area, rival that of an expensive inclusive resort but, with the all of the benefits of having your own space. I, myself, am a chef having owned my own restaurant, and cooked almost every one of our meals at the property. I found the kitchen set up to be absolutely perfect. The beach (Little Bay), at the bottom of the hill, is a steep but short walk from the house, and worth every single step. My husband and I left our son sleeping and had coffee and a swim there every single morning of our trip and never saw as much as another footprint in the sand. You will not find a home this stunning, with the views this property offers, for this price.
The Hosts!
The absolute best hosts we've ever met. We felt as though we had all the privacy we wanted, even though they reside on the same property. You may find the stunningly beautiful, Pearl, under a straw hat, unobtrusively tending to her tomatoes or other gems in her garden. Her knowledge of Tortola, it's surrounding islands, and how it all use to be when she was a kid, was priceless, and she was eager to share it with us over a few evening cocktails. Marco is Pearl's handsome husband and could not be more friendly, welcoming, accommodating or helpful. My husband, myself and our son connected with them instantly and enjoyed a few memorable dinners with them during our stay.
They offer total privacy, if that's how you roll. We swam in the pool and had breakfast under the pergola as if we were completely alone on the property. The two residences sit on the property in such a way that you feel completely separated, only sharing the driveway. The hosts integration is only instigated by the guest.
We had such an amazingly stellar trip, thanks to Pearl, Marco, and their impeccable Villa Zenaida, that we booked our next trip before we left.
