Bigger Splash Villa: private with pool and concierge in unspoiled Virgin Gorda Reviews

Perfect location, beautiful & spacious home!

Great place and people. Loved it

We had a wonderful time. The descriptions of Queen sized beds were incorrect. They were actually full sized. Also 2 bedrooms had outdoor only showers. The master bedroom’s outdoor shower walks directly out to the pool. It was somewhat inconvenient for showering and enjoying the pool at the same time. Overall though the house and location were great! Highly recommend but just need to be more accurate in their descriptions.

My family and I traveled to Virgin Gorda and spent a few days at the bigger splash and couldn’t have had a better time. The villa has everything you need to feel comfortable and right at home. The rooms are comfortable, clean and well decorated. You are very close to the baths-within walking distance, which is a great location to watch the sunset. One thing to note is that each of the bedrooms is self-contained, in they are not they are not connected through a common indoor space. So when you leave one bedroom, you’re in an exterior space where you go up or down stairs to get to the common living area. This didn’t bother us at all but if you have small kids, it could be a challenge. The pool and the landscaping are outstanding, we love spending time out there. A few nights, we grilled out on the charcoal grill and enjoyed lovely meals sitting outside. Our trip was in late November, so the lack of AC in the bother us as we left the sliding doors open for a cross breeze. Yet I could see in warmer months this could be a problem. I’d like to highlight the exceptional service that Cathy provided us. She was there to answer any questions and to help us with any of our needs. If you’re looking for a beautiful location to vacation in Virgin Gorda, Bigger Splash is the way to go!.

Comfortable home with beautiful views. Great location next to the baths. We enjoyed the pool, was great to jump in to cool down after traveling around the island. Kitchen had enough for basic cooking, we did breakfast and alternated between lunch & dinner in. Cathy was great with answering questions and providing us with suggestions on dinner. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Our stay at The Bigger Splash was amazing! The views from all over the house and especially the crows nest were magical! We coordinated a few things in advance with Cathy and she greeted us at the ferry and escorted us in our rental car to the house. After that, once I figured out how to use my email and phone, it was easy to coordinate housekeeping and reach her for any other questions. For whatever reason I was not able to text or email her when using the house Wi-Fi. I had put an travel plan on my Verizon phone for $10 a day. It connected to the local cell service, and that allowed me to contact her. I'm not sure if that was my issue or if others might experience it too. We didn't have any problems with the house. I would say it is not a good set up if you have young kids, but it was perfect for our older children! The housekeeper, Greta, was so sweet! She came twice and cleaned and did laundry for us. She left fresh picked flowers in most of the rooms! We would definitely stay there again! We used Mahogany for our rental car and Dive BVI for diving. Would highly recommend both! We ate at Chez Bamboo (delicious) The Island Pot, Hog Heaven (food was great, view was breathtaking! ) Sugarcane at Nail Bay, Coco Maya, and Sugar Mill at Little Dix. I would go back to all of them except Sugar Mill. It was good, We just thought ridiculously expensive. We took the ferry from gun Creek to Bitter End and a had a wonderful day there! We shopped at Riteway and bucks- both great!

Bigger Splash was an excellent choice for our week-long visit to Virgin Gorda. Located a short walk from The Baths and several adjoining beaches, it had everything we needed. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable. The central living and dining area was huge, with views and verandas on three sides. The pool was a big plus. The kitchen was large and well equipped for guests who like to cook. The place was immaculately clean and the manager, Cathy Ann, could not have been nicer or more accommodating.

The location was great! It was definitely within walking distance of The Baths and Mad Dog Cafe (which I recommend over the pricier, but not better, food at Top of the Baths restaurant). We drove to nearby Spring Bay and just loved that beach area. The house had great views and wonderful breezes would flow throughout the upstairs. It did not bother us that this area did not have A/C (our trip was in February). The kitchen was well enough equipped for our breakfast and lunch needs. We ate out for dinner every night. The bedrooms were comfortable and housekeeping stopped by twice during our 1 wk stay to make sure we had fresh towels and offered to do laundry for us. The outdoor furniture by the pool was comfortable as well, however the outdoor metal furniture upstairs was not. We used the dining table chairs instead to enjoy our morning coffee. We loved how the property had several levels as it gave our family room to spread out and not feel on top of each other (my husband and I brought my sister and father with us). All in all, we were very satisfied with the property and would recommend it to friends.

Bigger Splash is a recently renovated, well-maintained villa in one of the best spots on Earth. It's just a short walk from the magical Baths; you can see the house from the porch of Mad Dog, one of the two great restaurants at the top of the Baths. The same 70-million-year-old volcanic boulders that create stunning coves and grottoes at the Baths also decorate the villa's yard, for an effect you have to see to believe. Next to the Baths is Devil's Bay, a cool little swimming and snorkeling spot with a cave and beautiful rock formations. A slightly longer walk, or a few-minute drive, gets you to Spring Bay, another gorgeous beach sheltered by more of the same boulders. The villa is covered with decks and porches that offer breathtaking views of Virgin Gorda, the Caribbean and other islands. The bedrooms are nicely appointed, and each has its own full bath, including two outdoor showers. Our concierge, Cathy Ann, greeted us at the waterfront when we arrived and helped us get to the house. She was always available to answer questions or give advice. One of our boys cut his foot on a rock, and she told us where to get the best medical care. The housekeeper, Gina, appeared a few times during the week to expertly wash and fold our clothes and tidy up the house. The beautiful pool, with its multi-colored lights, was a nice touch, especially for our young daughter, who spent just about every moment in the pool when we weren't in the Caribbean. The villa might be a bit tricky for some families to navigate, with the master bedroom, cottage and pool on separate levels from the common area, kitchen and second and third bedrooms. To travel between those levels, you must climb an outdoor staircase that isn't sheltered from the rain. This wasn't really a problem for our family, but it may pose difficulties for others. The sprawling, comfortable common area (where there's a large smart TV) and dining room don't have AC, but you can open all the sliders and get nice breezes. In the evening, with the powerful ceiling fans going, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. My only wish is that the kitchen had AC, as it was a little tougher to get air circulating there. All the other rooms have AC, along with smart TVs, and are totally comfortable for sleeping or relaxing. Those are minor notes. All in all, this villa is an alluring combo of luxury and natural beauty in an unbeatable locale. My family would gladly stay there again.
