As someone who has traveled extensively, I can easily say that this was one of the most unique and wonderful places I have ever stayed. Steele Point is perched high above the entrance to an active sailing harbor on Tortola, with views in all directions from the main house. We felt like we were living in a five star lighthouse, watching yachts, ferries and fisherman moving about from island to island while ensconced in understated luxury. We expected James Bond any moment!
The interior of the main house, along with every private bedroom, is modern and done with impeccable taste. The kitchen is fully equipped with high end appliances and cookware, including a Wolf stove, a wine fridge and an ice machine. The property includes an infinity pool from which to watch the boat traffic, a dock to snorkel off of and a number cozy seating areas. Even in stormy weather, which we experienced for much of our stay, we were thrilled to be there.
The ferry dock is a 5 minute drive from the gated property, and a well stocked supermarket is close by. A coffee house and a few restaurants are also nearby. Sandy beaches are a short drive away.
This place is ideal for anyone seeking privacy and elegance on a low key island. The bedrooms are all on different levels in separate buildings, so one needs to travel outside the main house to get to each bedroom. The "master" bedroom is just a few steps from the living/dining/kitchen area but the farthest bedroom is 3 flights down toward the waters edge, so a bit of a climb. Each bedroom has it's own unique decor, an outstanding view of the water and is beautifully designed. If you are traveling with friends or have older children, the property allows everyone privacy.
Steele Point will remain at the top of our list for vacation spots. We can't wait to return.
