Frenchman's Lookout: Tortola (Frenchmans Cay, West End)

Sleeps 10 (5 bedrooms)

Description: No detail has been spared in this airy and spacious two-story Carolina-style home. Originally an infamous pirates' lookout because of its commanding and sweeping views, its perch above Sir Francis Drake Channel is caressed by constant trade winds. Views from this imposing estate are breathtaking and incomparable and have been called "the best in the Caribbean." Every room on both levels, even the bathrooms, open via double mahogany french doors onto generous wraparound decks, showcasing a captivating parade of sail and power yachts passing by. Two electronic security gates lead to this completely private luxury estate. Entering the main level, you'll find the elegantly-furnished Great Room, a gourmet kitchen, and just across the hall, a dining room with a banquet table. An air-conditioned queen bedroom/bath suite completes the main floor. The upper level offers four very large air-conditioned bedrooms and three tiled baths, plus a completely outfitted office. All five of the romantic, high-ceilinged bedrooms have air-conditioning, but few guests find it necessary. Simple but sumptuous furnishings define classic elegance: terra cotta floors with woven seagrass mats, plush chairs and sofas, antiques and fine art. Just outside the villa is the 50-foot pool with a shallow cove for small children surrounded by masonry patios and wooden decks. Adjoining the pool is a shaded alfresco sit-down wet bar and gas barbecue area bordered by dramatic rock outcroppings and lush flowering gardens with specimen trees - the aromas of gardenia and jasmine float through the air. A private, state-of-the-art gym and game room in a separate building with stonework trim are also yours to use. The estate's professionally-trained staff is discreet and detail-oriented, and have garnered rave reviews from past guests. 300-degree blue-water views punctuated by some 12 islands and cays seen from Frenchmans Lookout's breeze-swept and shady verandahs will mesmerize you. A sojourn at this impressive five-star property, set on an historic site and brought with flair and charm into the 21st century, will provide you with memorable days and romantic nights, delighting those who demand the best...five stars.
