Shawn Viana, the owner of Sunset House located on Long Bay, gave the following report. “Sunset House was damaged by Hurricane Irma. The roof on the main house and the bedrooms building suffered quite a bit of damage along with the veranda that wrapped around the house and overlooks Long Bay. But now we are beginning the rebuilding stage. We hope to have the house back in order and start renting April 2018.” Shawn also said that they are installing a generator as well. He believes that Sunset House showed its strength and durability against Irma and is destined to be a beautiful destination point again providing comfort and love to all of its future guests.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
