About this property

Rockmere Villa - PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEWS, BEACH .2 MILES, MULTI-UNIT ESTATE

Rockmere resides inside the Little Trunk Bay community, high upon the boulders that overlook the Baths, Spring Bay National Park, and both Little Trunk Bay and Valley Trunk. The property features a gourmet kitchen, five bedrooms each with full baths, ad a plunge pool. From all the decks you can see the rocks that create the caves at the Baths and those that adorn the bays and beaches from there to Valley Trunk. The views extend across Sir Francis Drake Channel to Tortola, St. John and beyond.

A one-minute walk takes you to the stunningly beautiful Little Trunk Bay. Continue on by foot or snorkel over to Spring Bay and the Baths.

The property's 2 acres are planted to a wide range of tropical trees and flowering plants. The buildings are built literally on the large granite boulders that make up the geology of this part of Virgin Gorda with some boulders forming parts of the structures and plunge pool. With the elevation of the property above any obstructions on all sides, the trade winds provide a cool breeze most times of the day.

The main house consists of an air conditioned private bedroom with a California King and separate full bath. The living/dining area is one great room that opens onto a deck with breathtaking views. The living area opens on two walls so that living between the deck areas and the inside areas are seamless when the sliders are open in full.

Gemstone is a separate guest cottage across from the main building and consists of twin beds that can be made as a king upon request, and a private bath. It is air conditioned as well.

Below the main house is another private air conditioned suite with a bonus bedroom, full bath, and its own deck. This suite also offers both an indoor and outdoor shower and offers its own private path to the beach. The views from this deck are similar to those above just from a slightly lower elevation.

The new guest cottage, named Rockery, sits on top of large rocks and boasts a large bedroom and a living area with private deck with 180 degree views from the Baths to Spanish town. The bedroom on this cottage is also air conditioned. This building has been completely remodeled since Irma and has its own kitchenette. This facility is only available for sleeping accommodations for parties of more than 7.

The "caretaker cottage" named Guest Sweet is not air conditioned but benefits from the strong breezes due to its location facing the trade winds. Sleeping arrangement is a queen size pull out couch. This studio unit has its own kitchette. This facility is only available for parties of more than 7.

Wonderful Stay for Whole Family
Rockmere was a wonderful stay for our whole extended family. Each of the bedrooms was quite private while the main living area was comfortable for our whole large group. Little Trunk Bay and Spring Bay were wonderful even for our infant and toddler with good snorkeling for the teens and adults as well.

A Spectacular View
Rockmere was every bit as good as its pictures. The accommodations for our family were ample, the general quarters sublime. All were entranced with the view and spent much of our time at the house gazing at the spectacular view across the channel at Tortola and the flanking islands. We all loved our stay.

The house has wonderful views
The house has great views and we enjoyed ourselves on our trip Virgin Gorda. The beaches are a short walk and are beautiful. The people we encountered both staff and locals were very nice. I do think the listing should indicate that the bed rooms are not directly accessible from the main living space. This at times mad is feel disconnected from at kids. This house is great for couples or older children. There is also not a bathroom in the main kitchen, dining, and living room area. The preceding comments aside, the views, access to the Baths, and Spanish Town make this a property a solid choice for families looking to vacation in Virgin Gorda.

Paradise!
Staying at Rockmere(Guavaberry Resorts) was the most incredible vacation I have ever had. The property and home were beyond anything I could have imagined. The place is even more beautiful in person. The houses were very clean, comfortable and well decorated. The check in process was amazing and the staff are accommodating and so friendly! Everything you could possibly need is either right on the property or just a walk away. The beaches are so close and the most beautiful i have ever seen. I would go back and stay at the same exact place in a heartbeat. Hands down the best vacation i have ever had!!!

Amazing house and stay on VG
Rockmere is such an amazing property - so much better than the pictures! Very nice furnishings, beautiful view and proximity to multiple beaches can't be beat! It's literally less than a 5 minute walk to Little Trunk and Spring Bay beaches. As part of the Guavaberry management you get access to their beach on Spring Bay with chairs and towels provided. The daily maid service and small commissary were an added and unexpected bonus. As a vacation property owner I was really pleased with everything Rockmere provided. I really can't believe there aren't more reviews for this property. The price is a steal for what you get. We also heard from multiple people that this is the best place to stay on the island. We didn't even rent a car. It's a 10 minute walk to Bucks wholesale and 15 mins to Mermaids, Island Pot, Coco Maya and Treehouse restaurants. 15 minute walk to the Baths. We will be back!!

Fabulous
From the moment we arrived at Rockmere (9 PM) I was surprised beyond expectation. The drive and walkways are sercummed with lighted indegineous plants outlying the pathways to the main living areas. The living quarters are exceptional. This property is premier with all accommodations including access to the best beaches in Virgin Gorda. We especially enjoyed making new, wonderful friends at the nearby resturaunt Mermaides, "the best food in town". I look forward to visiting again very soon.

Awesome!
This was our first trip to Virgin Gorda. We enjoyed every minute and staying at Rockmere was the highlight. Not only did we have a great sense of privacy and all the comforts of this beautiful home and its surrounding views, the proximity to beaches, the national parks, shopping, restaurants, not to mention the rest of the island, made for magical vacation!

A slice of heaven
Rockmere at Little Trunk Bay is a gorgeous property, family owned for over 50 years. The estate is divided into 'areas' for privacy and comfort, with beautiful landscaping to admire as you walk the property. The main house contains the kitchen, dining area, relaxing living room, outside decking (with a 5 star view of the water), and BBQ. The bedrooms are located in petite villas adjacent to the main house; one was down a beautiful path, and the villa itself had it's own deck, kitchenette, outdoor shower, etc..) Each of the villas have an outdoor shower, inviting design, and comfortable beds. Also on the property is another decked area with an art studio, library, a shaded hammock, and dipping pool. The path to the beach is short and foot-friendly, and the beach itself is the most beautiful I have seen in my life; I could have spend days just there. The list goes on and on...The property is very close to The Baths - just a short walk! In the evenings we would either admire the sunset from the decks, or head to town for dinner with friends at Mermaids, or other locations. Any visitor would be delighted with this vacation rental, it exceeded my expectations.

Absolute Paradise!
Rockmere is the absolute epitome of island utopia! With the most picturesque views of the Caribbean, incredible panoramic views of The Baths, and most breathtaking property, this island getaway will be one you will never forget! A private beach is a very short walk and local restaurants and bars are right around the corner! This destination is a must see for families, romantic couples, or a group of friends! I will be back to this property as it has my heart forever!

Exceptionally beautiful home - perfect stay in this tropical paradise!
We stayed at Rockmere over Thanksgiving week 2013 with our grown children and toddler grandaughter. It was everything we had hoped for and more! Simply a beautiful, well appointed, comfortable home with gorgeous views of the Baths and mooring sailboats. The short walk to Trunk Bay, Spring Bay, and others was easy even with a toddler. The layout of the home provided privacy with the separate sleeping spaces and a huge common living, dining, and kitchen area. The Guavaberry staff was exceptional, and daily housekeeping was provided by a delightful woman who gave us tips and helpful ideas during our stay. All in all, we hope to come back soon, as Rockmere and Virgin Gorda were our idea of a perfect family vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Bettina Goschler

Host profile image
My parents have owned this property for more than 40 years and recently transferred its ownership to my sister and me. We live in the USA and visit Virgin Gorda when my parents are up for the trip from California where they live full time. Rockmere is managed by Guavaberry Spring Bay, with their office only a short walk from Rockmere. They will assist you with anything you need during your stay.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought this property more than 40 years ago after vacationing in the area for years. They believe, as we do, that this is perhaps the most beautiful beach community in the world. Without a doubt the rock formations make this place exceedingly unique.

What makes this property unique

In the morning, we all enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the channel and the Baths and watching the different boats come and go from the moorings. Then its time to explore the beaches. You can walk just a few hundred feet to Little Trunk Bay and you will probably not see anyone. Stay and snorkel or head south to the Crawl (Spring Bay National Park) and Spring Bay Beach, or head North, over some rocks, to Valley Trunk where you can walk the long beach lined with palms. A 10 minute walk will bring you to the Baths & Devils Bay national parks. On your way backstop at the Mad Dog for a refreshing island beverage and a BLT. You might head home for a nap and a book, or get into your car and explore other parts of the island in the afternoon, but head home in time for the sunset on the deck again as the sun sets behind Tortola. Dine at home and then finish off the evening listening to the coqui frogs chirping you to sleep.
