This was the vacation of a lifetime that I'd like to keep repeating over and over again. My sister made the reservation after finding Sterling House on VRBO. She said that once she saw this online there was no where else she and her husband wanted to stay. My husband and I shared the villa with them.

I awakened before the others after a wonderful night's sleep. I was breathless with amazement at the picture perfect beauty that surrounded me each morning. Then I sat on the veranda, feeling the cool ocean breeze, watching and listening to the waves slap the rocks and the shore, sipping my coffee. Before too long Wayne would come out to take their 2 little dogs (sorry can't remember their names) for their morning walk on the beach. It was my favorite time of the day.

The view is from the end of Long Bay beach. You can get some sun in a lounge chair on a grassy area that is just a few feet above the beach right in front of the villa, or walk just a few steps down and you are on the beach.

Donna helped us rent a vehicle so we were able to explore the island near and far, although far is relative because it's a tiny island.

Long Bay Resort's restaurant was a very short walk down the beach away and other good restaurants a short drive away. If you'd rather cook, the kitchen is equipped with all you need and Donna will put away the provisions that you pre-order. There are grocery stores nearby if you'd rather do your own shopping.

Snorkeling was fabulous at near-by Smuggler's Cove and shopping and more dining around the corner at Soper's Hole in West End. Another favorite place was Cane Garden Bay just a short drive away.

You will not make a mistake staying at Sterling House.

When we arrived at Sterling House the perfection of our vacation started. It is hard to put into words the beauty of this place. In person it is so incredible, that the pictures do not do the villa and view justice. We needed to pinch ourselves that this place was not a dream. The villa is appointed like a magazine, but everything is so comfortable and welcoming. We immediately felt at home. Loved sitting on the veranda in the extremely comfortable overstuffed chairs with ottomans watching the waves go by. The beach is beautiful. We could swim right in front of the villa. We slept to the sound of the sea, 5 star all the way! We simply must go back ASAP!!!!

Our vacation at Sterling House was absolutely amazing. From the moment we checked in Donna, the property manager and owner was very responsive and helpful to all of our needs. Our own personal concierge. The place is better than the pictures. It has an incredible world class view, with all of the amenities and comfort of a 5 star hotel. We had comfortable pillows, beds, furniture. The place is designed for every comfort. We had total privacy, if we had a question or needed anything; it was taken care of promptly. Jeannie, the housekeeper, was wonderful. We asked for housekeeping when we were not in the villa, it was always done when we were out. It was a perfect vacation. The beach is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the food at local restaurants was great. The massage waterfall really makes you feel wonderful. We are defintely returning to Sterling House!

We had the opportunity to stay at a villa called The Sterling House in Tortola B.V.I. for 9 days. We had a wonderful time. The villa was definitely a 5 Star Accomadation. We felt like celebrities. The sound of the ocean, the scenery of Long Bay Beach and watching wonderful sunsets were breathtaking, all from our balcony. Having our own private pool overlooking the ocean was another added feature. The owner Donna made us feel very comfortable as she called us personally when we were arranging the trip as well as when we arrived. She was very helpful by arranging our car rental and giving us helpful pointers.
We had the privilege of developing a special friendship with Jeanie, the housekeeper, She was the sweetest and so lovable.
The B.V.I. are beautiful and it is very safe there. It is so easy to do day trips to other islands by ferries. We took i n Jost Von Dyke, Virgin Gorda( spectacular) Anegada, and Norman Island> The beaches are all gorgeous and good snorkneling.
We highly recommend this trip and The Sterling House was paradise. First Class.
