vacation rental description

This beautiful, spacious, open and airy two bedroom villa is located on the north coast of Tortola, BVI.  Perched on the side of a valley overlooking Little Bay Beach, Guana Island, and the Caribbean Sea, Magic Castle is surrounded by a 2 1/2 acre gated estate of tropical gardens and natural woodlands.  Fruit and vegetables grow on the property in season.  

The Master Bedroom Pavilion is separated from the rest of the villa by a sparkling 8x30 ft. swimming pool and is wrapped by a covered deck with hammock and seating area enjoying the magnificent view. Screen sliders on opposite sides of the room allow the balmy Caribbean breezes to pass across the pool and right over the King size bed in the middle of the large room.  Adjacent is the Hot Tub, romantic under the sun or stars.

The entrance opens into the living and dining areas and has a well equipped gourmet kitchen. Doors open all around onto the garden-edged pool terrace and wide covered al fresco dining deck. High vaulted ceilings throughout add to the expansive feeling.

A second bedroom and bath is located in the main house where either twins or a king bed can be requested. Relaxing and comfortable, this magical setting is perfect for couples or small families. Children over 8 years old welcome.

 

The nearly private beach is a few minutes walk downhill. Many excellent restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and water sports activities are within 10 minutes drive.

A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended. Most rental cars are 4 wheel drive.

The owner/manager of Magic Castle and her two quiet and endearing dogs live in an apartment below the villa behind a curtain of flowering vines. No part of the villa can be seen from there, assuring your privacy. She's there if you have questions.

traveler reviews for this british virgin islands villa rental

Magic Castle Villa, Tortola BVIs

Ginny (Rehoboth Beach, Delaware)
Review submitted: February 4, 2012   Date of arrival: January 7, 2012

To put "magic" in your name you'd better deliver in spades. The Magic Castle delivers
bigtime!! Magic. Enchantment. Delight. Beauty. Charm. Tranquility. All amenities.
From the moment we arrived and saw the "Magic Castle" sign and watched the gate swing slowly to let us enter, the enchantment began. We were met by Rocket whose faux-fierce bark made us feel right at home, followed quickly by lovely Eva who welcomed us warmly and showed us gracious hospitality from the moment we met.

The Villa has a transforming calm that quickly and quietly relaxes the international
traveler in a heartbeat, even as the glorious view sends the soal soaring. An interesting
conundrum. We felt right at home, deeply at peace, right away. Magic! A quick tour of
the whistle-clean, beautiful and comfy home made us feel as if we'd never left a place
we had never even been to before. Another conundrum. Magic!

The Villa offers a gourmet kitchen where we whipped up less-than-gourmet meals to dine alternative evenings in the enchanted setting, sometimes lucky enough to entice fascinating Eva to join us. The perfectly positioned hammock overlooking those gin-clear waters beckoned nearly every afternoon for reading and napping, or was it the other way 'round?
More magic! The bedroom felt like a honeymoon suite with it's fabulous view of exquisite
turquoise and sapphire waters. A memory that will long remain is of doing yoga looking
at that spectacular view through outstretched toes and fingers. Magic! The beach below
is so utterly private you start to feel as if you own the beach, the island, the world. Magic!

The pictures of the Magic Castle truly do represent the Villa. But what neither
pictures nor a thousand words can capture is the atmosphere, the feeling of being totally
at home, yet of being whisked away to a place of enchantment, of well being, of, well, of magical living. The Magic Castle gave us a home base for a magical week in Paradise.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Wow, Wow, Wow! What a Magical review! The best part of this business is meeting new friends like you!

Honeymoon Heaven

Tim (Seattle, WA)
Review submitted: January 28, 2012   Date of arrival: December 31, 2011

My wife and I recently stayed at Magic Castle for our honeymoon over the new year and we had the best time! The property and views far exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, very comfortable and felt very private.

Our favorite beaches:
- Little Bay: a short walk down the hill, very private and quiet
- Smuggler's Cove: our favorite beach on Tortola on the north west end
- Long Bay on East End by airport: Very close to the house, very fine sand and great swimming/snorkeling spot
- Virgin Guorda day trip: explore the national park with snorkeling and the Baths (above ground caves)

Favorite hang-outs:
- Charlie T's Lobster house: delicious food at reasonable prices
- Bananakeet cafe: sweeping views of the north end of the island. Great for happy hour and sunset!
- Myette's: great happy hour and atmosphere, live music
- Nancy next door to Eva has excellent sushi she makes fresh daily

Favorite part about the house:
- hammock! An amazing place to read, nap and take in the view of Little Bay and Guana Island

Eva was a very gracious host. Her attention to detail was outstanding and her openness for our questions was much appreciated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Sally, Steve, and Rebecca enjoyed a relaxing vacation at Magic Castle

Review submitted: January 2, 2012   Date of arrival: December 21, 2011

Magic Castle, was just that! A delightful place to spend our first ever "away from home at Christmas." Mornings spent in the hammock or chairs reading, watching sailboats, and the ever changing skies and usually welcomed visits from furry friends Rocket and Stanley...then to the beach, sometimes we had it all to ourselves, at Little Bay for more lounging and swimming... then a refreshing dip in the pool...evenings in the hot tub watching the stars... great sleeping with ocean breezes and the sound of surf. May sound boring to some, but we found it heavenly! The roads on Tortola require your full attention. We explored some, ate a couple of meals out but our favorite times were at the house and on the beach at Little Bay! Eva was a quiet, kind and delightful host with good suggestions on car rental, excursions, places to visit, grocery stores, etc. The best ideas were to have a sushi meal awaiting us on our arrival and a massage at Magic Castle, on the deck, the day after arrival. It is a beautiful, quiet spot on the island and we would recommend it to others and hopefully we will be lucky enough to return!

Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway

Owners response: Dear Ones,
It was a delight to have you here! Next time I hope you will be able to enjoy some garden greens besides the string beans, lemon grass and Surinam cherries that were available then. The current guests are a young honeymoon couple enjoying the peacefulness. Thanks so much for the lovely review! Hope to see you again!
Cheers, Eva
