Spectacularly located beach front Spring Tide @ The Tides at Little Apple Bay

The Tides is a 3 story condominium building on the beach at Little Apple Bay comprising High Tide (www.vrbo.com/3274934), Spring Tide (www.vrbo.com/3713149), and Apple Tide (www.vrbo.com/3712956).

This listing is for Spring Tide on the middle floor.

Each condo is 2 bed/2bath with a full kitchen, and a large outside terrace with gas bbq/grill and has outside seating and a large dining table.

High Tide is the top floor. Spring Tide is the middle floor. Both have large terraces with an outside sitting area and a large dining table.
Apple Tide is on the ground floor - it has the same (slightly larger) terrace as High Tide & Spring Tide, but also has a private (but not secluded) raised beach area and a sun deck right above the sea. The quoted rate is for two person occupancy, and there is a modest surcharge for a third and fourth person. Given that the condos are often rented by two persons this seemed a better way to deal with the rate because VRBO does not allow both a two person, and a four person rate to be quoted.
You will be delighted by the stunning sea views from the terraces - which are less than 10 feet from the water. You can see out to Jost Van Dyke and along the North Shore of Tortola, and watch the surfers and the sea life. The location is perfect for surfers as the Apple Bay reef provides good surfing - in particular from November to April when the northern swells roll in. All year round swimming is beautiful at Smugglers Cove, and, depending on the sea conditions, you can swim with the surfers at Little Apple Bay and Apple Bay. Surf board hire can be arranged with www.bviwatertoys.com who are in Sopers Hole.

The coast line is relatively flat - ideal for walking and discovering Long Bay, Smugglers Cove and the North Shore. There are several restaurants and bars within 15 minutes walking distance. Try Sebastian’s (2 mins), Tropical Fusion (15 mins walk over a short but steepish hill), Long Bay Hotel (15 mins walk over the same short but steepish hill) and the two restaurants at the Sugar Mill (10 mins along the flat coast). A little further past the Sugar Mill and with fabulous views is D'Coal Pot. The restaurants in Cane Garden Bay, West End, and Road Town are all relatively short drives/taxis away.

You may want to rent a car for at least some of your stay so you can explore the rest of Tortola - small/medium jeeps are ideal and readily available .There is dedicated on-site parking for each condo. Don't forget your driving licence and a credit card (credit cards are preferred for car rental - debits cards are taken virtually everywhere else). Details of rental car companies appear below.

The Tides is a 7 minute drive from the delightful Sopers Hole, West End with its shops, marina, ferry port and restaurants - including Pussers, the Admiral Bar and Omar's coffee shop and Sand Spit restaurant. Cane Garden Bay (best avoided on days when there is a cruise ship in Road Town) is a 15 minute drive away. If you do go to Cane Garden bay when a cruise ship is in then head to the quieter end of the beach and Indigo Beach House (closed Mondays ). Bananakeet Cafe and Stoutts lookout 8 mins away on the way to Cane Garden Bay, are beautiful spots to have a cocktail and watch the sun go down. If you want to eat in Road Town The Dove is a good choice and further East Brandy Wine restaurant is well recommended.

Road Town (the capital of the BVI) is a 25 minute drive.
The airport at Beef Island (EIS) is a 55 minute drive.

It is easy to visit the other Islands in the BVI and to get to and from St Thomas in the USVI.

The port at Sopers Hole, West End has regular ferries (New Horizon Ferries)to Jost Van Dyke - with fabulous beach bars including Foxy's, the Soggy Dollar and Hendo's) and to St Thomas (with its airport (STT) providing services to numerous US cities).

Hannah Marina (20 minute drive) has a regular ferry to Norman Island.(see piratesbight.com for ferry schedule - reservation only).

The port in Road Town has ferries to Virgin Gorda (for the Baths and North Sound), Anegada and St Thomas.

Trellis Bay (next to the airport) has ferries to Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Scrub Island.

You can visit Cooper island by ferry from Hodge’s Creek (reservation only contact sailcaribbeandivers.com). The ferry to Marina Cay (marina-cay.com) goes from Trellis (at 45 minutes past the hour) or Scrub Island (at 30 minutes past the hour).

Please always check ferry timetables and reservation requirements because they change from time to time.

You can also visit all of those islands, and the islands not served by a ferry, on your own day charter. There are day sailing and motorboat trips, deep sea fishing trips, and scuba/snorkel dive trips available.

The Tides at Little Apple Bay is a great choice to stay and discover these beautiful British Virgin Islands.

There is a fibre optic connection to the internet - which is then distributed wirelessly in each unit. The wireless signal is typically strong enough to stream sports and/or films so bring your tablet or laptop if you would like to watch TV.

Additional Useful information

Travelling to The British Virgin Islands your port of arrival will be either (i) Beef Island airport (EIS), (ii) Road Town Port , Tortola (flights to St Thomas USVI, then ferry from Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook in St Thomas), or (iii) West End Port, Tortola (flights to St Thomas USVI, then ferry to West End from Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook, in St Thomas).

The closest entry point to the The Tides is West End Port. You can easily get a taxi to the apartments, or meet one of the local rental car firms based in West End who will take you to their office nearby , sort out the paperwork and you can drive the 10 minute easy journey to The Tides.

If you arrive at Road Town Port or Beef Island Airport you can get a taxi, or arrange with a rental car company to meet you at the port/airport and pick your car up. Depending on which rental company and length of rental you may need to pay a pick up and drop off fee at the airport.

We suggest pre- booking your departure ferry to St Thomas (if you leave via that route) as the ferries seem to have become quite busy
Remember, we drive on the left hand side in the BVI.

The south shore from Beef Island to West End is pretty flat - pretty much the only flat road in the BVI. You need to go over Zion Hill to get to The Tides on the north shore. The rest of the north shore roads are much more hilly with some good bends and steep hills but concrete or tarmac surfaces.

Several of the beaches, including Smugglers Cove, have hard packed gravel access roads so a 4 wheel drive car will make your driving more enjoyable - the height off the road is often more important that the 4 wheel drive.

Both Road Town Port and Beef Island Airport have taxi stands. Hotels and restaurants will call you a taxi. Be mindful that in this part of the world the taxi fare is often per person and can be quite expensive, and they take cash not credit/debit cards. If you like a particular taxi driver, take his card and he will almost certainly be happy to pick you up again. The taxi drivers often tell great stories about the BVI - your task is to distinguish between the truth and the entertaining fiction.

BEST LOCATION ON THE ENTIRE ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the best location on the entire island you wake up to the waves the sea breeze is perfect and if I'm not mistaking, we woke up to a rainbow over the ocean almost every morning. The Tides is such a well thought out accommodating space. I look forward to staying there again!

Perfection!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit is exactly as pictured; cute, modern and very clean! And the beds were super comfy. The large patio had new and comfortable furniture and a gas grill. There is a nice beach in front of the property that we enjoyed every day. And you will see some great sunsets from the porch. There were beach chairs, towels and umbrellas and they were new and in great condition. The location of this property is close to other beaches and restaurants too. Michael was very responsive to all my inquiries during the booking and during our stay. And Val, the property manager, is an absolute GEM. He was always present or a phone call away, but never intrusive. He takes very good care of the entire property and Michael is lucky to have him.

Great property. Well equipped, even had some bug spray, in addition to beach chairs, umbrellas and everything you could need for the kitchen. Beds were comfy. I do wish there were fans on the porch, but everything else was perfect.

Fantastic location on Island
This is an easy place to stay. It’s as advertised - new and very clean. When we booked we were trying to decide between a place in road town on the hill or this location. As we went through the week - we were so happy to stay on the West end of the island. Sopers Hole is a short 10-15 drive, Smuggler’s Cove is 10 minutes, Long Bay Beach is literally over the hill and Cane Garden bay is about 20-25 minutes. So, there are plenty of restaurants and awesome beaches close by. Val, the property manager is available and responsive if you need him. He’s incredibly kind and isn’t intrusive at all. We were somewhat low maintenance, but it was good knowing he was available if needed. The view iff the balcony/porch area is fantastic. We were out of the condo more than in it - but, it’s very comfortable everything worked great. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen with a breakfast bar. Your sitting/hang out area is the balcony outside - so, if you eat here then be easy to eat on the balcony! We had breakfast there most days and it’s perfect. Stays mostly dry when raining and seems to provide shade most of the day in some capacity. Rent a car and pay attention to the cruise schedule - your stay will be far more enjoyable navigating around the busy cruise days.

A perfect getaway, in a perfect location! The amenities and services made our stay relaxing and exceedingly comfortable. Spectacular views and conveniently located near the best beaches on Tortola. Used to spend many a summer on the island and know the island well. Can’t say enough about the caretaker of the property who was always within reach and extremely attentive. We look forward to returning next spring.

Fabulous! Just book it!
I had a fabulous stay at Spring Tide! The unit is new, clean, well appointed, safe, and in a prime location. Sebastians is a quick three minute walk, 10 minute ride from Smugglers Cove, quick ride over the hill to Sopers Hole for breakfast at Omar's. Yes, rent a car. Communication between myself, owner, and property manager was fantastic. This is my fourth trip to the West End of Tortola -- would stay at the Tides again in a second. The pictures do not do it justice. Could not have been more pleased! Highly Recommend!

Incredible place
Brand new place, great location. I would definitely suggest staying here the views from the balcony are amazing. Not a big deal, but the only things that were no tvs, the cars going up the hill are kinda loud and a sign or something to tell you do not drink the water. Completely not a deal breaker by any means. This place was incredible and Val and the owner were spot on every minute of the day or night. Thank you for an incredible vacation.

The waves crashing at your feet makes sleeping relaxing. The property is newly built. All modern convenience in clean and organized. The property owner and manager give good detailed recommendations and advice. Huge assist to our visit. An easy walk is good food and drink in beach environment. Many good local restaurants.
