Property Information
"Sea Fans" was designed so that each of the bedrooms is very private. Each hexagonal BR has its own separate entrance, A/C, bathroom and "outdoor" shower (no one can see in but you can watch the sunset over Drake's Channel). There are There are 2 separate beachside bedroom pods and a 2 story, 2 bedroom pod. The second floor BR even has a kitchenette. Each BR has its own large covered terrace with teak furniture. There is a wet bar by the pool, complete with an ice maker and refrigerator.

The main house has a high cathedral roof with 4 ceiling fans and indirect lighting. There is a modern, extremely well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster oven and refrigerator/freezer with water and ice dispensed through the door. The large center island has a beautiful polished granite top with stools beneath it. The flooring in all living areas is Mexican stone tile. Although "earth tones" are prevalent throughout the interior, bright floral patterns brighten up each room. A glass-top, stone-base dining room table seats 6 comfortably. An L-shaped sitting area just off of the kitchen is set up for easy conversation or to watch TV. A library of books, videos, games and CDs is available for your enjoyment.

Property Activities
"Sea Fans" is located on the leeward side of the island so it enjoys gentle breezes with temperatures usually in the low 80's to upper 70's throughout the year. Step off of the property directly onto a clean sandy beach. Because there is a reef a short swim off shore the water laps against the beach making it ideal for children (of all ages). The reef also gives you a very private beach by preventing boaters from being able to come ashore. Under the water a soft, sandy bottom with no coral or sea urchins stretches out a short swim to the reef. Bring your own or rent snorkel gear so that you can discover the wide variety of fish and coral right in your own "back yard".

There are three shaded areas attached to the house for those who prefer a cooler (safer) place to sit, read or sleep. The house is entered through a wide shaded porch. On the beach side of the house (the back) is a large porch with both a dining and sitting area. Beside the house is a Bougainvillea-covered terrace with a stone breakfast dining table for 4. A 20' X 40' foot pool (the largest in the area) is situated between the covered patio and the beach. This is a rectangular "swimming" pool, not a clever odd-shaped "dipping" pool. A seat-height native stone wall which defines the pool provides a great place to sit as well as safety for the "little ones". At one end of the pool is a below-water bench seat to rest on after doing your laps (or for sipping your favorite frozen drink). Teak lounge chairs and a teak table with umbrella are placed about the Oklahoma stone decking. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers, several varieties of palms, banana, lime and grapefruit trees. Native boulders rest comfortably about the property, directing the various lighted paths to their destination.

Activities off Property
"Sea Fans" is located 10 minutes from the airport, the marina, Little Dix and most of the stores that you would need to get things from. (Do rent a car.) "Sea Fans" is also 20 minutes away from the North Sound end of the island where you will find many excellent restaurants. Most are accessible only by an easily arranged water taxi.

Accessible by water taxi from Gun Creek are:Biras Creek, Bitter End, The Carvery, Drake's Anchorage, Fat Virgin, Saba Rock and Sand Box.

There are very well stocked (usually) grocery stores on Virgin Gorda. These and several other great restaurants (Little Dix, Chez Bamboo and Giorgio's Table) and some fun/funky ones (Top of the Baths, The Mineshaft, The Rock and The Bath and Turtle) are all within a 10-15 minute car ride. All dining is casual, so please leave your coat and tie or dinner dresses at home.

Sailing, power boating, fishing, scuba driving (including certification), hiking and island hopping day trips are all available through our booking agent.

Currency
Thankfully, the currency of the BVI is the US dollar.  Also accepted are all major credit cards and traveler's checks.  There is an ATM machine at the bank in the marina.

Getting Here
To get to Virgin Gorda, most guests fly into San Juan, PR or to St. Thomas, USVI.  From there you can take a short flight to Virgin Gorda by either commercial or charter carriers.  If you have 5 or more in your party we would strongly recommend chartering; it is always more convenient and with 5 or more flying it becomes cost effective.  Some people may prefer to go to Tortola first.  From there, a ferry can take you directly to the main harbor on VG.  The least efficient and longest route to VG is to take a ferry from St. Thomas to VG via Tortola.  Infrequently during the week, the ferry service goes directly to VG from St. Thomas.

No matter which option you choose, you will be met by someone from our welcoming staff who will drive you and your belongings to your island paradise.  You can also arrange to have a rental car waiting for you and then follow our staff vehicle and your luggage to the villa.
