The property comprises two houses: the main house and a guest house. The main house has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom, located on the ground floor, features a king-sized bed and an attached outdoor bathroom with stunning views of the islands. The top-floor bedroom, accessible via a narrow spiral staircase, boasts a beautiful high ceiling and two queen beds. Please note, the staircase's is about two-feet wide and might make it challenging to bring large suitcases upstairs. Moreover, the bathroom for this room is on the ground floor. Given these factors, we suggest reserving this room for the younger guests in your group, if possible. The guest house is separated from the main house by a swimming pool and lawn. The guest house features a king-sized bed and a separate area with a bunk bed, which is ideal for younger children. The guest house bathroom is comfortable and includes a shower, double sink, and an additional outdoor shower that offers breathtaking views of the islands. All rooms fully open to the outdoor areas, but if needed, they can be closed and air-conditioned for your comfort.
The living room/open kitchen has large wooden doors that open up to the veranda, where you'll find a second living area with a dining table that seats up to eight people and a relaxing sitting area. Because most of the living room/kitchen is open to the deck, the veranda, and the main house feel like one cohesive space.
From anywhere within the main villa, the guest house, outside on the deck, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hammock, or sitting elsewhere in the garden, you will be able to see far and wide across the Caribbean Sea while you are listening to the waves breaking on Little Apple Bay’s beach.

45th Anniversary
It was a great location to celebrate our 45th Anniversary Our family loved the home, amenities and the daily routine of sitting around the pool to watch the sunset. It was so hard to leave at the end of our stay since the fond memories we created there. I want to thank Lynn for helping manage our stay (We are a challenging bunch) and Willem for responding to my questions even though he was abroad.

Gorgeous Views!
We had such a good time at Pelican Peak! The property manager was always available and offered great advice on restaurants and beaches. The home itself is very comfortable - a true home away from home. A little buggy at times, but it's the Caribbean! Honestly though, the best part of the house were the views. We were high enough in the hills to get a panoramic view of the island below us and islands in the distance, but close enough to still hear and see the waves crashing at the shoreline. Plus breathtaking sunsets every night. We would highly recommend Pelican Peak, and would definitely come back!

Stunning views and beautiful, clean property
We stayed for 10 days at pelican Peak. There were six of us. Friends of mine stayed in the guest house (two adults) and four of us stayed in the main house. The house and property overall were very clean and my sister who is very neat, was even very impressed. When we arrived and walked out on the porch to look at the stunning view, we were very impressed and so excited to begin our stay put our things away, have a cocktail and sit out on the porch overlooking the many islands, and the sea before us. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels and beach towels. The ride getting up and down to and from the house can be slightly challenging but we rented an SUV and after doing it a few times it was fine. You can also have George drive you in the taxi if that works better for you. I loved the outdoor showers. The Bose system was easy to connect to through Bluetooth on our phones. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to cook our meals. We went to a few beaches and into Road Town and west end, and we rented a boat one day while we were there. We were going to take a ferry to the baths and other islands, but ended up staying at the house and enjoying the pool. The communication from the owner and Lynn his property manager was excellent all throughout the process and during our stay. We had no problems whatsoever and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property, pictures do not do it justice. Our favorite part of the stay were the magnificent beaches and the homeowner's accompanying guidance on how / where to go. Willem has put together an incredibly thorough and informative overview of everything one might want to do on the island, including several beach recommendations. We absolutely loved our experience and would recommend Pelican Peak to anyone.

Stunning views and lovely home
We had an amazing stay at Pelican Peak and Tortola. Willem and Lynn helped us every step of the way to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our first trip to BVI. The pictures in the listing are accurate and the views even more beautiful than the photos show. It was a treat to wake up to the view of the islands and watch the sunset from the pool. We had adults and teens in our group and everyone loved the experience. The house is close to great beaches, ferries and marinas to get out on the water. Roads are steep and bumpy but with a 4x4, very doable. Thank you Willem and Lynn for a great stay.

Disappointed
Pelican Peak is a beautiful property with amazing views, a nice open floor plan, and a number of extras we really appreciated (beach towels, beach chairs and beach bags). We went here really expecting a "5" experience, but were disappointed on several fronts. Issues included the following: 1. No hot water in the guest house for two days (discovered the on/off switch for the water heater was wired backwards and "on" meant the hot water heater was off); 2. Pool was not clean. Upon arrival (Wednesday) we saw the pool hadn't been cleaned in a while. On Thursday the property manager told us it would be cleaned Friday. Friday afternoon she asked us if it had been cleaned, and we said "no", so she said she'd get back to us. We never heard back from her after that, and the pool still hadn't been cleaned when we left the next Thursday. 3. Pool was cold. Listing does not indicate that the pool is heated, so no issue there, but the cold temp (about 70 degrees F?) was disappointing. 4. The king bed mattress in the guest house was so soft both my wife and I ended up with sore backs after 3 or 4 nights. 5. Both shower drains in the guest house backed up. The indoor shower drain backed up because it was totally covered in hair (really gross), and the outdoor shower appeared to have some type of pipe blockage. Again, this

Beautiful secluded spot with AMAZING views.
We had a blast at Pelican Peak and loved the separate guest house. It felt like we had a little space of our own. The Views were incredible!!! I cannot say enough about the views. Lynn (concierge) was great. Very responsive and helpful. She arranged our pickup at the airport and her suggestions were great.
We were traveling as a couple with no kids and a family of four. It was so nice for my husband and I to stay in the guesthouse and have our own little haven. We travel a lot with family and friends and it was so nice this time to have a little place of own to go to. The guesthouse had a separate porch that we could retreat too in the morning or evening to just decompress from all the other things going on. It was absolutely by far the best set up.

Beautiful and comfortable villa with stunning views!
My husband and I, along with our two children (12 and 13), stayed at the Pelican Peak Villa for just over a week. Prior to traveling, both the owner and the property manager, Lynn, were hugely helpful, passing along a great deal of very helpful and organized information to make our arrival and stay go quite smoothly.
The villa itself offers absolutely amazing views and is beautiful, as well as very clean and well-stocked. We ate out most nights, but we did cook several breakfasts and a couple of dinners using both the outside grill and the stove inside. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our meals.
We greatly enjoyed using the outside pool and deck area. The pool was a relaxing and refreshing reprieve from the heat with a gorgeous view. We also really enjoyed drinking coffee and cocktails, eating meals, and playing card games together at the roomy table on the deck overlooking the water.
There were several small, but thoughtful touches - like the fresh cut flowers on the table when we arrived, the Bluetooth speaker for playing music that was so easy to connect to, and tons of nice quality pool towels - so you always had a dry one. One night, when we were particularly tired after a snorkeling excursion, it was nice to just settle in and watch a whale documentary together on the Apple TV. Simple and easy.
The bedrooms were also very comfortable. All the bedrooms have AC, which for us, was key to a good night's sleep. The King bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. This means a lot. (Last year we stayed for a week at a rental and the bed that my husband and I slept in was just terrible. The mattress was old, lumpy and completely shot. It's hard to enjoy your vacation when you can't get a decent night's sleep the whole time you're there.) Here, however, we both slept great the whole week so we were well rested for each day's adventure. Our kids slept in the upstairs bedroom with the two queen beds and they both said the beds were comfortable and they too slept well the whole week.
The property manager was very helpful and responsive whenever we texted her with a question and she had many great tips and recommendations. We enjoyed many delicious meals out at the local restaurants, visited the Baths at Virgin Gorda, and the snorkeling on Tortola exceeded our expectations. Pelican Peak was the perfect home away from home to begin and end each day. I highly recommend this rental property.

Wonderful oasis in the hills
We stayed here for 6 nights with girlfriends celebrating our 45th birthdays. We enjoyed the view of Jost and other islands. Loved the pool and the outdoor showers. We rented a car but after experiencing the steep narrow road that leads up to the villa, we returned our rental and called George, the villa's preferred taxi driver, and requested his services for the week. George is The Best! If you need groceries, plan ahead. You may not want to leave once you get to this cozy oasis in the hills!

My partner and I travelled with another couple. The house setup was perfect for privacy and time together, whenever we chose. There is a 3rd bedroom we didn’t use, along with bunk beds in the guesthouse. Each room has a fantastic view, so no need to wonder if you’re missing out - you aren’t!
The Owners and Manager were all very informative but not overbearing in any way.

I can honestly say that Pelican Peak is one of the most peaceful, comfortable, and charming villas we have ever experienced. The character and beauty of this home is unmatched. The views are unbelievable and the location is perfect, but expect a steep drive up.
Our host Willem could not have been more welcoming with advise, recommendations, and helpful hints. Lynn, the house manager was delightful and available at a moments notice via text when we had questions.
Our friends recommended Pelican Peak and we switched villas on their recommendation. We are glad we did. There are only 5 stars but I give this home 6 ;) !

Fun find
Pelican Peak is a fantastic property. The views, the layout, the location -- everything was perfect. Arrived by Ferry and was greeted and escorted to the property. First time up the hill was intimidating but after a couple of times we managed it no problem. Upon arrival to the villa -- fresh flowers, beautiful accommodations and an amazing view. We loved it! The Ferry is an easy way to take day trips, using Tortola as home base. Covid protocols made it a bit complicated but we used the recommended concierge service on the departure and it was super easy and convenient. Beyond, both the host and property manager were super attentive and helpful both in advance but also during the stay. No complaints at all. Fantastic place that we would highly recommend!

Everything was spotless and well maintained. Comfortable beds, plenty of bath and pool towels, and lots of places to sit and enjoy the views. A dip in the salt water pool was refreshing after a day spent exploring Tortola or the other islands within easy reach via ferry or water taxi. Many wonderful restaurants within minutes of villa.

Pelican Peak is a Slice of Heaven
We had an absolutely amazing week at Pelican Peak. We have been to Tortola a handful of times before, either staying in houses or as a stop on a boat charter. We love the island and all the locals. It's such a special place and Pelican Peak was a perfect spot to enjoy it from. We loved the proximity to smugglers, our favorite beach spot, but had no problems getting around the island to our other favorites. The view from the house is incredible, the pool is fantastic to enjoy between beach and other island adventures. Great little mini grocery store at the bottom of the hill. The houses are really laid out well and very spacious. We originally planned to have two families but only one made it so we had plenty of room and would have had ample room with the two families. The guest house is great with the extra bunk space which our kids loved. Even has two outdoor showers with incredible views! The owner Willem was so gracious and provided tons of great info and recommendations. The property manager Lynn is amazing and made everything too easy. She helped getting groceries delivered and unpacked, had the rental car at the house when we got there, and quickly responded to all our other questions and requests.
Last note for anyone wondering about traveling during Covid. It really wasn’t very difficult or cumbersome. We simply needed a test prior to arrival and a test to get back to the US. Of course it adds a little coordinating to everything but it really was a non-issue. I’m sure policies will continue to fluctuate but overall I wouldn’t let it deter you from visiting this fabulous place.

WONDERFUL STAY! BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY!
My daughter, her mom, and I stayed at Pelican Peak last week and loved it. It looked just like it does in the pictures and the view was even more spectacular. It is definitely a special property. We miss it already.
Willem and Lynn were wonderful to work with and they provided all the necessary info that we needed. With the COVID restrictions, it could be a very confusing process, but they absolutely made it easier to understand. They also responded quickly to any questions/issues we had related to the area and COVID process in general.
We rented a 4x4 and drove around the island to various beaches. We also took the ferry to Virgin Gorda and visited the baths. All highly recommended. The COVID restrictions in the BVI are tough, but if you are vaccinated, it is definitely easier. Overall, we loved our stay there and would go back again in a heartbeat. It was exactly what we wanted when we started planning this trip.
Thank you to Willem and Lynn for everything!

I can't say enough amazing things about Pelican Peak, and would recommend anyone - friends, couples, or families, to stay here. The house itself has just about everything you could need, including insanely good Wi-fi (my friend and I said it was better than what we had at home!), and everything from hair dryers to blenders, washer & dryer and an adorable house cat named Habibi :)
Quarantining at Pelican Peak felt like a vacation in and of itself, and though we only had a couple days to explore the island after, it was well worth the trip. Lynn the house manager and George the taxi driver were so incredibly helpful every step of the way.
Already looking forward to staying at Pelican Peak next year, and this time bringing lots of family / friends.

As described by everyone else
The location and Willem’s responsiveness on every issue large and small were truly outstanding. The views from the house are as spectacular as one can imagine from anywhere. It was the perfect home base for island hopping around the BVI.
