The waterfront townhouses with docks at Nanny Cay Marina, the BVI’s largest working marina, were our ‘best sellers’ before the storms of 2017 and are proving to be so post storms. Having survived with very little damage and better than the majority of buildings on Tortola, they are now more popular than ever. This three bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom unit is a great example, boasting stunning views out over the new marina and into the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The Master Bedroom, with Ensuite Bathroom, is especially spacious and comfortable with its own very private balcony from which to enjoy the marina, ocean and island views. Whilst the townhouse is fully air conditioned, the breezes at this end of the canal are generally strong and cooling so no need to run the AC day and night.

What was the attraction before the storms? A newly constructed waterfront home with a dock, finished to a high standard with custom cabinetry, fixtures and fittings, fully furnished and turn key, located in a thriving, vibrant marina community. All that remains true. That community ‘took some licks’ during the storms, as they say, but is coming back stronger than ever. The hotel rooms are being substantially upgraded. The beach bar, beach and swimming pool area are more popular than ever. The grocery store, coffee shop and Genakars cafe are up and running. There always was a waiting list as long as your arm to rent the Nanny Cay townhouses. Now that list is even longer.

Nanny Cay Marina is ideally placed, being just a short boat ride from Norman Island, Peter Island and Cooper Island. The private dock is designed for your centre console or RIB, the ideal boat for island hopping around the BVI.

The Marina’s internal infrastruture – back up generators, water plant and sewerage system – proved to be invaluable immediately after the storms with Nanny cay being one of the few locations in the BVI to have power and water back up and running very early on.

Nanny Cay’s rental program includes full property management from their hotel team and is very competitive. The plans for Nanny Cay going forward are very exciting and the future looks bright!
