A very
special private waterfront Virgin Gorda villa for rent on its own
private peninsula , this 6-bedroom vacation rental home sits at
the end of Mattie Point, with water on three sides and Gorda Peak
behind. South Sound is a spectacular secluded area of Virgin
Gorda, where you hear the waves breaking on the reef and your
neighbors are pelicans, turtles and fish. To one side you'll see
the Hurricane Hole and to the other is Great Hill. On the
far side of Great Hill are fun places to visit such as Biras
Creek, Saba Rock, and Bitter End Yacht Club, all on Virgin Gorda.
Swim in the infinity edge pool overlooking the sound or snorkel
off the private dock to some of the best underwater viewing on the
island of Virgin Gorda. If you're a little more
adventuresome, take the 12' dinghy or one of our three kayaks out
to the 5000 foot reef for more snorkeling fun or motor over to the
Hurricane Hole for exploration. Thrill seekers may even want
to try out the villa sailboard on South Sound.

Gorda rental vacation villa has been designed to let the ocean
breezes and sunlight surround you. The Mexican clay tile
