VERY Private, Spectacular, Waterfront Location

*We are Gold Seal Certified by BVI Traveller as an approved accommodation under the COVID protocols!*

Anam Cara Villa is a unique vacation home located directly on the water in Little Bay, South Sound, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. The Villa's spectacular private waterfront location is in a BVI designated marine sanctuary and near one of the last undeveloped landscapes on Virgin Gorda.

The views off the decks and balconies range from looking directly down at sea turtles, various tropical fish and the occasional mantas swimming below to stunning views out to sea with endless waves rolling up on the offshore reef. To the sides and behind you are views of the surrounding mountains and hills of Gorda Peak National Park. Your closest neighbors are the parade of marine life below, pelicans and seabirds above and cows grazing serenely on the distant hillsides.

Anam Cara Villa is comprised of just under 5,000 square feet of tropical modernism architecture spread over two buildings designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The five bedrooms are all en-suite.

The three large master bedroom suites all have king size beds and large spa bathrooms complete with both indoor and outdoor showers, double vanities and soaking bathtubs. Upstairs in the main house are two additional en-suite bedrooms with private balconies directly over the water below.

The main floor features a large gourmet kitchen connected to the outdoor living area through large 8ft by 10 ft doors and a unique breakfast bar with an 8ft by 5ft serving window. The kitchen/dining area merges into the living area which has two separate seating areas and stunning sea views. The lower level hosts a media room for watching movies or just hanging out.

Outside living features 12 separate decks and balconies each with its own unique views. The centerpiece of the outdoor living area is your own resort like horizon edge pool complete with a swim up bar and outdoor sunken kitchen with barbecue. The saltwater pool has both a waterfall and laminar flow water features with fiber optic lighting. Pool lighting colors can be changed with a wireless remote control.

All of the indoor and outdoor areas are tiled with natural travertine stone. You can choose to relax on the deck letting the marine and bird life of South Sound entertain you or simply hang out by the pool.

Just a short one mile drive away is the North Sound welcome center and dock where the various free water taxis will take you to the many *restaurants, resorts and yacht clubs for drinks, lunch, dinner, shopping, or entertainment. North Sound is a destination unto itself whether it is Bitter End Yacht Club, Saba Rock Resort, or Leverick Bay Resort!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a safe and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful seclusion
Family of 6 had plenty of room to spread out! The home sits above a beautiful cove, with some construction of a tennis court underway. The cove is very pretty, appears to be shallow water, but with the weather there was quite a bit of debris. The cows enjoy the beach every morning during their grazing time. Humorous to see! The beds were very comfortable, with house management cleaning mid-week, linens were always fresh. AC units worked very well during a very hot spell. Air circulation was pretty decent during rolling power outage from the main electric provider. The road definitely requires a jeep, so heed property description well- it is quite literally a cow path. The pool was quite relaxing, but did need a bit more maintenance on the pump to remove the debris and bugs. There are quite a bit of stairs to climb to reach the entrance, so be prepared if you are traveling with less mobile people. Ample refrigerator space, some provided extras like kitchen supplies. Lots of cooking utensils. Word of advice- food supplies in stores are not like you would find on mainland. So potentially look into delivery service from Tortola or pack your own. The house/property manager was very helpful and responsive to questions. Overall we had a wonderful time!

Unmatched Views.
We had a group of 10 adults that stayed at this villa in February 2024. The villa was clean and just a little dated. Chico and his wife were so easy to deal with and very helpful throughout our 10 day stay. The road to the villa was a bit hard to find and we probably should have rented 4x4 vehicles instead of vans. The beach area was lacking due to the trash, broken glass, cows, and goats everywhere. However, we were able to take a very short drive to a beach where we had a picnic and soaked up some sun. Levrick Bay is a very short drive and a little village in itself. We actually watched the Super Bowl there and had an amazing time. The sunrises at the villa were beautiful! The stars at night were breathtaking. The villa was extremely private, which we loved!! Plenty of room for everyone, and we never felt crowded. We will be back, and hopefully very soon!!!

Beautiful property
This trip was a gift to our parents (in their 70s) as well as our family vacation. The owner has been exceptionally accommodating throughout COVID and the limitations imposed by travel restrictions. Unfortunately, our visit was cut a bit short by this year's record-setting sargasso seaweed bloom; the owner (again) was very helpful and responsive. Snorkeling in South Sound was a highlight as was the pool.

By islands standards, this was a 5 star. Overall a great trip with some minor hiccups.
Overall, we had a great stay. There were some minor inconveniences, like the beach being unusable(not the homeowner or property managements fault) due to major seaweed blooms in the area. The house has some minor signs of age but overall is great. The pool needs some work and better cleaning (several dead roaches and bugs) could have done without the camera hidden inside in the kitchen. Just felt a little invasive. There was a super cute house cat that hangs around the property. We were told it belongs to the farm next door, but she never left and was super eager to get inside the house. (Which we didn’t allow- she has fleas and mites). Highly recommend and encourage a jeep, bring pool toys, there is one tv in the downstairs of the main house. It was nice being able to disconnect. With a view like we had, you don’t miss it. The kitchen was well appointed and it was nice to see sharp knives and provisions. Pay it forward for the next guests like we did. The house has great views. The outdoor showers were a nice addition. Expect lower water pressure outside. Upon arrival Chico had arranged a water top off for the cistern and pool, which was much appreciated. Recommend provisioning thru bucks market but expect out of stock items. We had a great trip. Saw whales just beyond the reef in our cove. Tons of turtles, sharks, great sea life and bird watching. Highly recommend this villa!

Absolutely amazing!!!!
Let me first say that Virgin Gorda and this house are both gorgeous and relaxing. The view from each of the decks and all the front facing windows are amazing with the sound of the surf below. The house is clean, sun filled and has a very open feel. The location was great for us but make very sure that you’re comfortable driving on the left on narrow and very hilly roads. Be sure to rent a four wheel drive with clearance because the road is very bumpy but part of the charm. We loved that the house was as remote as it was but know that it’s out there. The only reason that I didn’t give this house five stars is that the beach is not nice or swimmable for most. Lots of seaweed and trash with strong and consistent waves due to the trade winds coming in. At the same time, incredible beaches 15-20 minutes away so totally worth it and the views amazing. Stay here and enjoy.

This beautiful house with pool easily accommodates 5 couples or 10 people. It is located on a private bay. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a nice gas grill and pool. It is ideal if you are looking for quiet and beautiful surroundings. Great beaches, hikes and restaurants are all 20 minutes away by car. Highly recommend it.

Amazing views
We had such a great time in Virgin Gorda at this Villa. It was well-equipped with a lovely pool area, lots of bedrooms and outdoor porches with amazing views - great way to start the day with breakfast on the deck overlooking the ocean. Each bedroom has its own bath/shower and some even have outdoor showers so you get this amazing view of the mountains and ocean even when showering. The beds are comfortable as well. Attentive hosts answer all questions and make sure your stay is happy.

Anam Cara
We had a great time in the British Virgin Islands. Anam Cara is a lovely villa. The location is completely private with beautiful scenery all around. The ocean breeze keeps the temperatures cool on their balconies throughout the day. We had a lovely time. I would highly recommend this property to others looking to explore version Gorda and the British islands. You will need to rent a jeep to access the property, but it’s quite easy to get around to the various parts of the island. Our week flew by and we are ready to go back next year!

Multi-generation Family Vacation
We just returned from an incredible family vacation staying at Anam Cara Villa. Bridget was extremely helpful leading up to our vacation and responded quickly to messages, answered questions, and even provided information for us to have dinner cooked in house by a local chef the night of our arrival. The house itself was spacious, clean, and very well appointed. The airline lost our luggage and we were thrilled to find that every shower had small bottles of shampoo and soap to hold us over until our bags arrived. There was even a cooler that we were able to use for beach trips! It is down a dirt road and renting a jeep would be a good idea to make the trip easier. Chico and Elizabeth gave us a tour of the house, cleaned mid-week, took care of the pool and any issues that came up, and helped us with info during our stay. We did not use the beach or waterfront at the house because (perhaps due to the storm) there was a large amount of seaweed while we were there, but it was a short drive to Savannah Beach and Nail Bay and those beaches are incredibly beautiful and most of the time empty. We vacationed in June and the weekend had some other families on the beach but mid-week it was ours alone. Gun Creek is just around the corner from the paved road and you can get free water taxis over to Bitter End and Saba Rock for dinner or drinks. We had a great trip!

remote paradise
This property is a fabulous find. It is remote, which makes it special. It is beach front which was wonderful for us. Both are exactly what we were looking for for our island vacation. We wanted to wake up and see & hear the ocean waves from our bedrooms each morning, and this property was perfect for this. If you want pristine beach, then you can drive into town to any of the well known locations for the afternoon and relax. Like on any Island, it takes the first day to get used navigating the road in and out of town, but after that it was a comfortable trip. We enjoyed saying hello to the farmers cows along the dirt road. There are enough bedrooms and overall space at the house to comfortably accommodate large families or multiple couples. The house care takers are gracious and so very accommodating. Indoor and outdoor furniture is perfect for relaxing with your family or friends. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Anam Cara Private Oasis
Anam Cara is a beautiful home with a spacious layout so friends or multiple couples can have privacy and also enjoy common areas like the living room, kitchen, multiple decks and swimming pool. There are great views from just about any place in the house. A short walk to the beach where you can enjoy beautiful water and snorkeling. However, there is still a lot of trash leftover from the hurricane. There is even a shipwrecked not too far down the beach. Renting a car is a necessity to get to many of the island's wonderful beaches - Savannah, Spring Bay, Trunk Bay and of course the Baths. If you are looking for a quiet place to vacation with incredible views, then Anam Cara is it. Virgin Gorda will not disappoint.

Our family of four ( parents and two teenagers) just returned from a fantastic vacation. This villa has everything we could ever have imagined. The views from every room are spectacular. The villa is extremely spacious and extremely comfortable. We did many day trips from the house and also spent lots of time at the small island directly across from the house. We kayaked out to the island. The snorkeling was some of the best we have seen. We had the most incredible time and cannot wait to go back.

Still needs some TLC
Still needs a little TLC. The upstairs bedrooms A/C units were barely working. It was obvious it has been that way for awhile. They put a portable A/C unit 3 nights into our stay. The kitchen table and chairs are very wobbly. Some furniture that was damaged by hurricane is being reused. You can see the water marks on it. You can see where things were fixed in a hurry. Don't plan on using this beach at all. Full of trash debris from hurricane. Everyone on island was extremely helpful and nice.

Christmas atAnam Cara
Our family stayed at Anam Cara for 11 nights over Christmas 2016. Marie was an outstanding host helping us secure a private chef, giving us ideas on boat rentals and dive shops. She was there when we reached out when the power went out on the island - there is a back-up generator so we never missed a beat. The home is stunning and perfectly suited for three couples and children or just large families. The views from the house overlooking Little Bay were mesmerizing. The kitchen was fully appointed in case you want to stay in and cook - we used the grill by the pool often along with the swim up seating and bar. The home has air conditioning in each room which we used mostly in the main part of the house and at nights in our rooms. There would only be two things that I would say was not what we expected - not big things though. First, The bay is not easy to just walk down and swim in. After you get out 10-15 feet, it is great but you need to get over rocks so bring water shoes. Second, our group seemed to be susceptible to getting bitten on the back patio. However, no one else remarked on this in other reviews so it may have just been our timing. The house is close to Gun Creek so we took the water taxi over to Saba Rock and Bitter end for dinners. Lunches or just to hang out. Overall, it is a fantastic place to stay and see Virgin Gorda.

Newer, not Brand new.
The home was definitely a beautiful home and very secluded. In short if your looking for a large and secluded home with amazing views and just need a place to relax with no distractions then this is the place for you. Only negatives are no pool heat, no beach, no laundry and no internet. It shows some normal wear and tear with a rental but overall was very clean and very comfortable. This home is extremely secluded so if your looking to to avoid humans it is perfect for you. Do not be scared as you wind down a long and secluded dirt road for almost 1 mile. There are only two homes on this road. Unfortunately the beach was unusable due to the extensive seaweed that has built up down the entire cove/beach. It has been there for some time. Pool is not heated therefore was quite cool to use during our stay. The internet is via a mobile 3G hotspot and spotty at best therefore if internet is a priority this property will not work for you. Hope this helps! Owners we're very nice to work with, but this home needs some repairs to microwave, pool tile, etc. Lower bath sink water in small villa backed up into shower.
