Sitting here and watching the birds and hundreds of sailboats that navigate the Sir Francis Drake Channel daily is a peaceful and entertaining experience, so be sure to bring your binoculars and camera! You never know what you will see . . .
|
|
The house is situated perfectly for breezes and for beautiful sunrise and sunset color, but not the glaring heat one would get if directly facing west or east. Happy hour on deck with tropical rum blender drinks is not be missed!

During the morning, put out some sugar for the many birds. Hawks can be seen hunting below and yellow and black bananaquits and four varieties of hummingbirds visit daily.
|
The night brings countless stars and the lovely lights of homes on Tortola and Jost Van Dyke and moored ships in the Narrows,. If you happen to be here during a full moon, seeing it light up the sea as it rises over the channel is an unforgettable experience!
Located off the Great Room are two bedrooms, each with a private bath featuring a wonderful outdoor shower area with a spectacular view of the ocean and stars. Although tree-top Skyridge is usually nice and cool, each bedroom can be air-conditioned separately. Everything you need is already here - linens, hair dryers, iron and ironing board!
