Sunset House was everything we hoped for and more. Our family of 10 spent a week here and it fit us perfectly — five large bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath and private balcony, with jaw-dropping views over Long Bay and out to Jost Van Dyke. Sunsets from the pool deck were an event every single night. What sets this villa apart is the staff. Carmen and her team took incredible care of us all week — daily continental breakfast, wonderful home-cooked meals (better yet cheaper than any restaurant - thanks Cynthia and Loris!), and the house kept spotless (Jenny, Rose - thanks!) without us ever noticing them working. It felt less like a rental and more like being welcomed into someone's home. The location is ideal: a short 2-3 min walk down to Long Bay beach, close to hiking trails, and an easy jump-off point for boat days around the islands. The pool with its waterfall and the hot tub kept everyone happy on the days we stayed in. If you're bringing a big family or group to Tortola, look no further — we're already planning our return. PS - congrats on your retirement Carmen and making the whole booking experience a breeze!

Dressing up as pirates and taking over the Long Bay Resort, what a fun-filled night! Leroy and Steve were amazing bartenders. You must also visit Ms. Patrica at Smugglers Cove. Sunset House is a magical place where memories can be made forever and everyone becomes family. Thank you to Carmen, Jenny, Cynthia, Loris, and Rose for taking incredible care of us and making our stay so beautiful. This place will always hold a place in our hearts. For as long as it remains, we will be back over and over again. Much love!!!!

We spent a full week at Sunset House and had an absolutely exceptional stay. The villa feels both luxurious and deeply welcoming — elegant, peaceful, and incredibly comfortable. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true retreat! What made the experience even more special was the staff. Everyone was so warm, attentive, and wonderful throughout our stay, and the prepared meals were a true highlight. Everything felt thoughtful, effortless, and well cared for, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy our time there. Mornings were calm and unhurried, the setting felt private and serene, and every evening brought breathtaking sunsets that never got old. By the end of the week, we genuinely did not want to leave! Sunset House was a huge part of what made our time in Tortola so unforgettable, and we're already planning for our next visit.

Spending the week at the Sunset House is always like stepping back into paradise. This is one of our many return trips and it never disappoints. The propert is impressive, spacious and beautifully kept. The views are breathtaking and are enjoyed from every room at the villa. It never gets old enjoying the sunsets from the veranda. From the time we arrive to the time we leave the staff is attentive and accommodating to our every need! The prepared meals are restaurant quality abd we live the personal touches. Carmen Cynthia, Loris, Rose and Jenny are professional and experienced. We love visiting Yost and the Soggy Dollar, Patricia at Smugglers, Long Bay and Cane Garden. Will return for sure!

Sunset House is a magical place! Our family comes here frequently and every time you walk through the front door, you're transported into another world. Cynthia, Loris, Jennifer, Rose and Carmen have the house in flow, everything is always taken care of for you during your stay, the service is impeccable. Our days at the villa are spent relaxing, planning our next adventures, singing karaoke by the pool and dancing by the dinner table after an amazing feast. Walking the beach in the mornings, heading to Ms. Patricia's at Smuggler's Cove, and heading to Virgin Gorda to do the baths are just some of our favorite things to experience while we're there. This place will forever hold our hearts and I hope that it will hold yours, too!

We had a fantastic trip to Sunset House with our whole family. The house was perfect for a group of 10! Carmen and her team couldn't have been more accomodating to our group. We would sit at dinner and plan for our next trip. We did a couple of nights of cooking on our own and we all agreed that next time, we'll count on Carmen's team to do all the meals. It's a top notch service! We can't wait for our next visit!
