This was a great place to stay when in Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. It was located on Mongoose Lane and only a short walk to the beach. It is a quiet location. All the units were 1 bedroom with a full kitchen. I believe it was severely damaged during the 2016 hurricane and was unable to reopen. It is a terrible loss.

My partner and I spent 10 days at the Mongoose Apartments March 10-19, 2017. We found Sandra, the innkeeper, to be a delight to talk with and she is a great wealth of information and contacts. She kindly made our rental car and day snorkeling trip arrangements for us. The beach is only a 5-minute walk away where we found a 2-person kayak and lounge chairs for the gorgeous beach. Our room was spacious and clean with a full kitchen, which made the room very comfortable. Michelle, the housekeeper, was very friendly as well. A great place to stay!

This was one of our longer stays at Mongoose. As usual the stay was made most comfortable by our host Sandra. Due to an illness last year we had to carry over our planned trip. Sandra fit us in, 2 the first week along with 6 family members the second week. Kudos to Sandra. Mongoose and Cane Garden Bay rock!

Joking apart and echoing the other reviewers, Sandra is the perfect host. Always available if needed but never "in your face." Difficult to add anything new as the other reviews are justifiably glowing and we agree with all of the comments. We found Mongoose to be spotlessly clean with everything you would need in the kitchen if you wanted to self cater. Sandra also provides cool boxes that you can take down to the beach...oh and I don't think anyone mentioned the fabulous huge walk in wardrobe! Great place to stay...we will be back. We loved Cane Garden Bay and highly recommend it if you like a village feel to your holiday.

My best friend and I do a girls trip annually to Tortola. We were looking for a place to stay in Cane Garden Bay and came across Mongoose Apartments. From the moment we arrived, Sandra was warm and welcoming. Our room was huge....a bedroom, changing room, bathroom and large kitchen/living room area. This place is big enough that you could live in it! The apartment itself was clean and had large doors to let the island breeze in. In the evenings, the air conditioning was only needed if it was a particularly warm night. We were able to prepare breakfast in the room and walk straight across to the beautiful beach. If the beach was overrun by cruise ship passengers, Sandra allowed us to lay in her yard which is the sand of Cane Garden Bay. She has lots of loungers, noodles and rafts available for guests in her private fenced yard. Sandra was a fantastic host - she had lots of advice on new places to try and recommendations for day trips and more. We can't wait to get back to stay with Sandra again....the inn was full. Every face was a friendly face and we would see all her happy guests out at night dancing and sharing drinks with us at the many beach bars in Cane Garden Bay!

The apartment was perfect for my husband and me. Bed was super comfy and large! Overhead fans kept us the perfect temperature. We loved our coffee and breakfast on our porch. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes and plenty of shade to place our loungers in. We used the cooler to bring our lunch to the beach daily. Easy walk to restaurants in the evening. No other apartment offered what Mongoose offered in terms of location and beach. Sandra was helpful in organizing our car rental and restaurant suggestions. Highly recommend Mongoose Apartments!

I've visited Cane Garden Bay (staying with local friends) for almost 10 years. This year several friends came down and rented rooms at the Mongoose. We were all very impressed with the service (the hostess and cleaning staff are lovely, friendly people). The rooms are bright and clean, just off the main road in Cane Garden, you can walk down a short drive to a private yard that has access to the quiet end of the beach (no bars/restaurants) and also easily walk to the other end where you can get drinks, dinner and hear live local musicians in the evening. That being said you are just far enough away that you don't hear music when you go to bed at night. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful one bedroom apartments, island style. Very short walk to the quiet end of one of the most beautiful beaches in the islands. Private beach chairs, kayaks etc for Mongoose guests. Not far to the beach restaurants/bars for food drink music etc. Very nice place. I've stayed there several times and when back in the BVI will stay there again

We stayed at the Mongoose at the direction of another hotel owner whose property was full. Sandra was a very gracious host. The hotel is back off the road through some forest with incredible jungle sounds in the evening. No road noise! Even though we felt isolated in the forest the farthest bar at Cane Garden Bay was a 5 minute walk. Just make sure you ask directions from the locals; there is no sign on the road. The room we had (#8) was a one bedroom suite with huge great room and kitchenette. The great room had ceiling fans and the bedroom A/C. There was an outdoor second floor veranda with a barbeque grill. Very relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent several days at The Mongoose before a catamaran sailing and wish we'd had more time. We absolutely loved it! Mongoose is a quiet, very comfortable property down a 'jungley' path from the beach. We were within walking distance of some great places to eat/drink. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I discovered the property thanks to TripAdvisor and feel like we struck gold! I'm going on another weeklong catamaran sailing in April and will again stay at The Mongoose but for longer this year.
