It has been a crazy time in all of our lives. I know it is difficult, but take yourself back to Mid-March 2020, when the pandemic was just beginning to gain momentum. The island of Tortola was wide open, but travelers had already stopped traveling. We arrive on the island with one specific house in mind, but wanted to look at others. Our realtor met us on the mountain adjacent to a small quaint watering hole called Rudy's bar. We liked the house that we came to look at, but we both felt it was missing something. The layout was good and it had a nice Caribbean feel, but just something about the ambience.
We tasked our realtor with finding a place that had everything that we were looking for. We looked at several properties, no such luck. However, she really felt good about this property and we knew within minutes of our arrival, it "checked all of the boxes" and had such a great feel! Of course, we knew it would need some updates (complete as of 7/5/2021), but it was perfect. We had heard that the Long Bay resort was rebuilding which would even make it more perfect!
We sit at a middle table in the open area of Pusser's in Cane Garden Bay. It was a dark and rainy evening, Covid had allowed us to be about the only seated table, it was just us and the chickens. We decided then to make an offer and the rest is history! The purchase process in the BVI for a "non-belonger" is longer and more detailed than other places, but we finally became owners in December 0f 2020.
Long Bay has been remodeled and is open for business, Nigel's Boom Boom Beach Bar is close and you can see all the way to Cane Garden Bay from our deck! The location is perfect and everything we had hoped for.
We are incredibly blessed and look forward to sharing this wonderful property with you.
