5 Minutes Walk to Beach - Ocean & Mountain View Villa with Private Pool
Our villa offers a Panoramic View of the ocean and towering lush mountains, with breathtaking sunset views and star filled skies. Perfect for 1-3 couples while still providing privacy. Each bedroom has a private sitting/living room, full bath and direct porch or patio access.
Just a short walk away is one of the best beaches you will ever see. Woodlands is a secluded beach surrounded by cliffs where you will often be the only visitors enjoying the Caribbean waters and Montserrat’s famous black sand beaches. Swim or snorkel around the cliff to your left and find a tiny private beach only accessible by water.
Grandview is in the most wooded area on the island. It is lush with vegetation, palm and fruit trees and flowers of all sorts. The vegetation and dramatic views of the mountains create a cool refreshing breeze.
This charming property offers all the features shown in the listing and provides a cozy 3-star ambiance in a 5-star location. While it hasn’t been recently renovated, we’ve reflected this in the pricing to offer great value. If you’re seeking a more modern, European-standard stay, this may not be the ideal choice, as we want your experience to meet your expectations.
Peak Season: Additional $150/week if you have more than 4 guests Off Peak: Additional: $125/week for more than 4 guest

We loved our stay at Grandview. The property manager was quick to try to fix the issues we told him about. I think the VBRO listing needs new pictures and some modifications. There was not a DVD player, grill, dishwasher, children's dinnerware, or spices. The kitchen needs new cookware and more glasses. A baking pan would be nice too. It was just two of us so we were ok but if a family had booked this villa they would have needed much more.
We found a location and setting that is wonderful, providing excellent views of the sunset over the Caribbean Sea through the trees. Plenty of local wildlife and vegetation to observe. The 5-10 minute walk to Woodlands beach is easy. After walking back to the villa, you may feel like a quick dip in the pool. A car is essential for access to food shopping, the various “must visit” sights and any of the marked nature trails.
The villa itself is displaying its life exposed to the Caribbean elements and use as rental accommodation. Be careful with bare feet on any of the exposed wooden decking. The materials for a full roofing replacement job are stored on site and the need for their installation is clearly becoming very urgent. Inside, the age of the furnishings is obvious. The kitchen is equipped with basic rudimentary needs. The cookware is mismatched and ill fitting, the tableware is a mixture of mismatched and badly chipped pieces.
There were shortages upon arrival, including a coffee maker, that the property management folk quickly resolved to meet the needs for four. They also provided instructions on the use of the ceiling fans and lighting controls, along with the two-handed door latch mechanisms. Weekly servicing by the cleaner, Ann, was done efficiently.
Being adaptable, we and our guests had a thoroughly enjoyable month in Montserrat, continuing our exploration all over the island. We will surely return for another vacation.
