The property is not listed accurately. You need a small jeep to get to the property especially if it is raining the bedroom is the only enclosed area and all the rest is open so mosquitoes eat you alive. A short walk to the beach is down a very steep hill and then back up difficult for any unathletic person. The porch gets rained on and it is so slippery that a serious fall is waiting to happen. Also true in the shower. Very slippery and no bath mats. Disappointed with this property and the lack of response from host. WiFi was not posted and the next day we finally got the information. I sent six texts and emails and left voice messsges!! We arrived at night and had to hire a man with 4-wheel to take us up to the property that has NO SIgns! We left a day early and went to the Wyndham. Soooo much better.

The house is great for 2 couples. Lots of space, 2 large bedrooms with large comfortable beds and en suite baths. Living area is spacious with an amazing view. Kitchen is adequate. The kitchen could stand a few more drinking glasses and additional sealed storage areas for food as this is wide open living and we had a small visitor (mouse) each night which was not a big deal (we just stored all food in fridge, bins, microwave, etc and wiped down dishes and surfaces whenever we used.
The driveway is very steep and narrow (we’ve been to Tortola several times so all the warnings about what to expect helped). The need for only a small/mid vehicle is for real. Anyone staying here needs to know the driver has to use a tight area including a space next door to do a tight K-turn turnaround each time parking at the house.

Upon arrival, the house appeared clean, but quickly realized that it had not been cleaned recently. The dishes and the glassware were dusty, and for a two bedroom villa there was just a total of two wine glasses of which one was cracked. There were many missing lightbulbs in the bathroom and the cockroach jumped out of the towel when we had a shower. There was no Wi-Fi passcode to be found and getting in touch with Mac, the owner, was close to impossible. When he eventually replied, said he has bad cell coverage where he lives. Having the passcode written down somewhere in the villa might be very helpful, and might eliminate the stress of a non-responsive property owner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Sugar Plum home. The home was open and airy and listening to the water at night was sooo relaxing. The home was clean, decorated nicely and if you forgot your beach towels they had you covered. The view was unbelievable. Nine days of Heaven! Thank you Mac for the directions. After the first night finding the home, we had no problems the rest of our trip. We would definitely come back and stay again.

The property was as described. Beautiful views! It was clean and there was a broom for occasional needed sweeping of the open living area. The kitchen needs new, unchipped coffee cups. The bath towels were badly stained and looked dirty. There were no beach towels. Mac did not send instructions for entry. The next door neighbor called him for us as our calls did not go through. Turned out the door was unlocked. We had no trouble finding the driveway. Mac sent detailed directions and I had printed a map before we left home. You definitely need an suv to negotiate the driveway, not the small car that Mac recommended. Citronella candles would be helpful as well. We burned mosquito coils to help keep the mosquitoes at bay. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic place with great views. My mom and sister loved it. I would caution travelers to the driveway - it is a bit steep and is difficult to navigate if it is raining and it rained a good bit on us. I did make it up several times. Just make sure you have a good 4 wheel drive rental car for your trip.

While the view is amazing, however, listing indicated that host would meet us to show us to property. That did not happen. We had to text him 3 times for directions. Really hard to find. Drive way is super hidden, steep and rough!. Description says 15 minute walk to beach which not true as beach is gone and only rocks. Closest real beach is more like 60 minute walk or 10 minute by car. Be aware that the entire living area except bedrooms and bathrooms are THE PORCH. No way to escape the wind or bugs. Light above dining table did not work. Short in bedroom light switch.
No grill, kitchen pans old and food stuck to them. One dish towel and dish cloth. 2 drinking glass for 4 people. No extra garbage bags or toilet paper, etc. Only had 1 bath towel for each person for a week. Bathroom door did not close all the way.
Communication with host was terrible. Does not respond to phone calls. Fortunately, my husband has international phone service to text host but response was very slow. They was no guidance on what to do with trash, etc. Impossible to watch TV without streaming service. TV VERY small and hard to hear being that you are outside. I would not recommend this property for a family with children or someone not physically fit.

Mac only responds to messages that Mac deems necessary so if you have a problem with anything other than directions or access to the house you may be out of luck, as we were. Directions are given with landmarks, so if you weren't coming from the direction they assumed, you may crest the wrong hill several times. The driveway is treacherous and only accessible from one direction. The cleaner forgot to leave the door unlocked so we were asked to climb on a brick wall and over another brick wall for entry or wait for her to come back...maybe. Never mind falling on the concrete below with no medical care in sight. There is no exterior lighting so watch the dip in the driveway when carrying groceries in the dark, you will trip and fall on your face. The interior was similar but not the same as picture. No lights on living room fans, 1 was broken and both are needed to keep bugs away. The dining room lightbulbs were blown, so we took from other lamps to replace them, it was tricky getting those in from 12 ft below with no ladder or sturdy furniture to stand on so we held my husband up which was no small feat. Without that light we couldn't see the food from the plate to our mouths. Don't sit on the couch without bug spray, we got hundreds of bites the first night. It would be nice if the owner had the outdoor furniture sprayed before arrival. No instructions for tv, wifi or anything else for that matter. With all that said, the view was great, beds were comfortable, and the outdoor living arrangement is very unique sans mosquitos. The home is nothing fancy which is fine but it's clear they do as little as possible to keep it rentable. The lack of response on lighting issues and wifi let me know that Mac just didn't care. We cared for her home as our own, cleaning it before leaving and conserved water while there, I wished she had been as considerate when it came to necessities at her own home. The night before our departure someone came pounding on the door, scared us a little as the place isn't exactly secure or easily accessible. It ended up being the cleaner wondering when we were leaving.

If you plan on staying here rent a small 4wd ..the driveway is very steep and there is not much room to turn around.But if you like an out of the way hideaway this is your place. The villa was very clean overall. The living area is open to the outside. Both bedrooms have air cond. The kitchen was adequate but the place needs a grill. We really enjoyed staying here and would return.
