A common refrain...
A lovely beach is only a few minutes' drive away for all of our villas! But if your dream vacation includes a villa on or within a short walk of the beach, this issue is for you! Of the islands we specialize in, the two with the most villas either on or within a quick stroll of a beach are the British Virgin Islands of Tortola and Virgin Gorda (with a special nod to the very cozy and romantic Seagrape Cottage on Little Thatch Cay off the West End of Tortola).
Discover "Nature's Little Secrets" - the British Virgin Islands, on your next Caribbean vacation!

One of the best things about an island vacation is being able to swim, float, snorkel, SCUBA or go boating within seconds or minutes away from your villa in crystal-clear waters under sunny skies.
That's because beaches are everywhere here! Most villas are situated in the hills, cooled by our trade winds. Not only are the views spectacular, but you are always within a short drive or walk of a beautiful beach. Since all beaches in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands are deemed public, you may freely visit a different beach every day in your rental car.
Of the over 100 villas in our portfolio, 39 have water access... with almost 60% of these being on the British Virgin Islands of Tortola and Virgin Gorda.
So remember that on an island, no matter which villa you choose, you are very close to the beach. It's all relative - for example, St. Thomas is only 4 miles wide and 14 miles long! But if your preference is to be as close as possible to blue waters, contact our Reservations department at 1-800-537-6246 or 1-800-666-6246 Monday-Saturday and we'll be happy to assist you in designing a villa vacation you'll never forget.

| Why we're special |
| McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas President Nancy Anderson  | We really are villa experts
We live in the islands, but it takes much more than that to become an villa rental and management expert. Our company was established in 1985 by happy accident. We began renting out homes for sale as a way to defray maintenance, improvement and upkeep costs, and soon creating spectacular Caribbean luxury villa vacations became a way of life.
We know our villa and island managers personally, and regularly tour our properties so that we have come to know them inside and out! Our amazing support team now spans 6 islands (and one adorable cay).
