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

Description: Spectacular long-distance views from decks and balconies and fresh tradewinds cooling Towanda will enchant you during your stay at this just-completed, artistic home high on Tortola's leeward side. A grand Asian-style entry gate ushers you into Towanda's magical realm and a short walkway bordered by landscaping leads you to the villa's first pavilion. This pavilion houses shady indoor and outdoor living and dining areas, the kitchen, and the powder and laundry rooms. Beautifully-crafted Balinese mahogany doors and louvred shutters open this pavilion up to the cooling breezes and add rich warmth, framing the lofty ocean views beyond. Between the two pavilions, the pool and sun deck, with a shaded area for a hammock, beckons. Three bedroom/bath suites are situated on two levels of the second pavilion, providing excellent privacy for everyone; all open to covered balconies looking out to the sea views beyond. Beds are draped with romantic netting, and each bath features double vanities and semi-alfresco showers with views. On the upper level, an exotic waterfall cascades from natural stonework for a great outdoor shower. Towanda offers wonderful eclectic furnishings - an oh-so charming mix of Asian, African, and Moroccan styles nicely accented by antiques, primitive art and other interesting decor from world travels, and all trimmed with exotic woods throughout. This totally-private villa is close to heaven...very well executed.

Amenities: Cable TV, DVD player, CD/tape player, movie + music collections, books, games, answering + fax machines, 6-burner professional gas range, small Weber charcoal grill, hammocks, dishwasher, laundry.

Other notes: Beds: 2 queen beds in the two bedroom/bath suites upstairs, + 2 smaller twins (OR 1 king, your choice) in the main level bedroom - please note that these 2 twins were purchased in Europe, and are slightly shorter and narrower than U.S. twins ; bathrooms: 3-1/2, + 2 outside showers (1 is a fabulous waterfall shower);

NO SMOKING INSIDE TOWANDA, PLEASE!

A 10-night minimum rental is required at Towanda during the Christmas/New Year's season.
