Vacation Rental Villas featuring the finest luxury vacation rental villas in the Caribbean

Description: Our newest grand villa on Tortola has just been completed! Beautifully designed in the West Indian style and lavishly equipped, Tara sits at the end of a tranquil neighborhood road for excellent seclusion. Overlooking lovely sea views and perfectly sited to refreshing trade winds, this four-pavilion property is arranged hillside in a private garden setting. From the parking area, a staircase leads up to Tara's generous terrace and to the pool and hot tub. Tara's first pavilion, on the west side of the pool and terrace, is outfitted as a romantic air-conditioned king suite with a 4-poster canopy bed, TV and DVD player, a large balcony and an alfresco stone shower. The larger main pavilion on the opposite side of the pool and terrace comprises the Great Room where you can snuggle into the overstuffed couches and watch your favorite TV programs or listen to the wide choice of music through the Bose surround sound system. Just outside the Great Room is a breezy covered outdoor living area overlooking ocean vistas. This wraparound verandah also borders the superbly-equipped gourmet kitchen, which opens to the pool terrace. Here you'll find a thatched tiki bar complete with convenient icemaker, a small fridge for cold drinks, and a fully stocked honor bar, perfect for shady relaxation. Adjoining the Great Room on the east side is a covered garden pavilion with a fountain, set for dining with views through arched windows of the sparkling sea beyond. Just off the dining terrace is the third pavilion with an office equipped with a computer with DSL line and a printer/scanner/fax. An extra twin bed and a double sofabed shares space within the study. The adjoining bathroom then connects directly to Tara's second air-conditioned queen bedroom suite, which opens to a private deck and small garden just outside. Tara's fourth pavillion, an air-conditioned queen suite with its own balcony, is just to the northernmost side and has an exotic alfresco stone shower. Done up in Caribbean colors and accented with cool tile floors, brick, and by beautiful native stone walls and planters surrounding tropical flora, this island-style haven's interiors flow gracefully out to the delightful picture-perfect tableau just beyond its archways and doors. Tara is a superb vacation villa for family and friends.
