Shannon House

Shannon House is located in Chalwell, Cane Garden Bay, Tortola. (more photos)

A stunning and verdant five-acre estate with two swimming pools connected by a waterfall! The lavish Great House offers unique, multi-leveled living and entertainment areas with alfresco dining, two casual sitting areas, and a marvelous retreat - a loft with a library, games, TV, VCR and a music collection.

Also upstairs via a garden walkway is Saffron Suite, the very private pavilion with a king bed and an exceptional bath complete with a tiled sunken tub and shower. Tucked underneath the Great House and opening onto a terrace leading to the pools is the Clove Suite with 2 adjoining bedrooms (1 has a king, or 2 twins, your choice, and the other has 2 four-poster twin beds), with a large smooth boulder forming one of its walls; both of Clove Suite's bedrooms connect to a secluded and screened alfresco rock bathroom.

Just outside, the sweeping terrace overlooks unforgettable sea views. Below the Great House, down romantic garden paths, are two identical luxurious cottages: the Sage Suite, featuring a Balinese four-poster bed, bath en suite done in marble and brass, and a shady covered verandah overlooking treetops and ocean vistas, and Cayenne Suite, with a king four-poster bed, a deluxe marble and brass bath, and its own covered wraparound verandah.

On the other side of the Great House is Nutmeg Suite, a charming studio hideaway in the gardens with a queen sleigh bed, small fridge and cozy sitting area.

Friendly house cats wander in and out of Shannon House. Shannon House offers panoramic ocean views from all rooms and terraces, superb lawns and gardens, privacy from neighbors, three master suites, and is known as one of the most luxurious and desirable estates high on Tortola's cool, green hillsides.

Included in the rental rates for Shannon House are a starter bar with some sodas, and during High Season, included is your first night's gourmet dinner with wine prepared by famous Chef Lisa; during the Low Season, a light, self-served welcome supper with champagne is prepared for your arrival - and all guests receive a first morning's self-serve Continental breakfast, all year around.
