This 5 bedroom property consists of 4 pavilions set within colorful tropical gardens. St. Bernard's spacious main pavilion comprises the great room, a dining room seating 10, the kitchen and an air conditioned study with a computer. Arched doorways open out to a wonderful covered verandah which spans 3 sides of this pavilion and overlooks the ocean. Various seating and alfresco dining areas are scattered around the wraparound shady deck, ready for gatherings, cocktails or a game of chess or cards; on the lee side are a bar and cushioned seating for watching the flat-screen TV. The main pavilion also houses the large master king suite.
On the south side of the main pavilion is a small manicured lawn which borders a unique terrace overlooking the yachts below, and a panoramic vista of islands and sea. A few stairs from the lawn area descend through tropical plantings to the pool and furnished sundeck below. The infinity-edged pool is heated 24/7; the pool and deck overlook Tortola's Long Bay Beach, Smugglers Cove and the salt pond, where pink flamingos are occasionally spotted.
From the entrance of the main pavilion, a walkway meanders through gardens to the separate North Cottage, This air-conditioned king suite is tucked just far enough away to provide romantic privacy.
The Double Cottage is just adjacent to the Main Pavilion. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, air conditioned cottage is perfect for parents and small children. It offers 2 bedroom/bathroom suites under one roof, joined by an interior hallway.
Next door to Double Cottage is the charming South Cottage, a separate air conditioned bungalow. Below Double Cottage is the new air conditioned home gym, well equipped with varied fitness gear, mirrors, TV and DVD player.
