CASA CARIBE SEA LEVEL OCEANFRONT VILLA, Air Conditioning, Beautiful Views!

Our experience at Casa Caribe was excellent. The team at Villas of Tortola arranged everything we needed for arrival, from delivered groceries & rental car to a taxi ride to/from the airport. The villa was very clean, WiFi was reliable, and A/C kept it nice and cool at all times. There are 2 great restaurants within walking distance and several more within 5-10 minutes driving. Beaches are also easy to get to, including Long Bay, Smuggler’s Cove, & Cane Garden Bay. The view from the porch is incredible and because it’s covered we could even enjoy it during rain showers. We will definitely return.

Great Experience....a few minor points I am an avid traveler and have stayed in 20 VRBOs internationally and in the US over the past four years. To start with the Improvements: (1) The property is split with 2 VRBOS (top floor/bottom floor). This is not an issue, but the levels share a common hot water tank. The hot water lasts for ONE shower….one QUICK shower. If your partner also needs to shower, well, they need to wait. If the occupants below or above need to shower. They need to wait. (2) The bed is a queen size and, candidly with two adults, should be upgraded to a king. (3) Standard amenities such as paper towels, dishwashing, hand soap, and condiments (salt/pepper, etc.) should be provided. The positive things about the property outweigh the above. The staff is friendly and responsive. The views are amazing (in the morning, a small group of surfers can be seen on Apple Bay). The patio is inviting, and the Villa is cozy, quiet and well-decorated. It should be noted there is no TV in the Villa, which is a positive – get outside. The location is central to several restaurants and beaches. I do recommend renting a car if you are staying for more than a couple of days as you’ll want to go exploring. Just be aware driving on the roads is an adventure. Also, the staff will connect you with the local grocers to pre-order food/beverages prior to your arrival. Just be aware they don’t always carry the items shown on their websites, but overall, the service is a positive. I would stay at the property again!

suggestions The upper outside light motion sensor did not turn on the light until I was almost to the bottom (of the upper terrace). There was NO light/motion detector for the bottom run of stairs. Also (as am architect) I would suggest placing reflection nosing strips on the bottom treads of each run. A TV would be nice.
