Villa Matija - Eco-Friendly, Luxurious Getaway

Villa Matija is nestled comfortable into the hillside overlooking Brewers Bay.

Allow yourself a little luxury and be eco-friendly at the same time! Villa Matija (pronounced ma-TEE-ya) sits above Brewers Bay with an outstanding view of Jost Van Dyke and several other smaller cays & islands. On a clear day you can see Puerto Rico (about 70 miles away)!

Stay at Villa Matija and enjoy the beauty and comfortable climate of the Caribbean with all the comforts of home at your fingertips. Villa Matija is very comfortable for up to four people. The house has two master suites only, one with a private deck & outdoor shower, the other with direct access to the villa's porch, deck & plunge pool. The downstairs bedroom can be set up with a king size bed or two twins. This makes Villa Matija ideal for two couples or a family of four. A modern kitchen and home theatre/living room with a 55" TV make it a great place to stay home and relax. Generous outdoor space flows effortlessly inside giving the feel of being outside while inside or the other way around if you prefer (great when there's a passing rain shower!)

Villa Matija is partially powered with solar energy using two solar hot water panels and twelve photovoltaic (PV) panels. Instead of a generator powered by fossil fuel Villa Matija has an alternative energy system that can run the house for modest amounts of time with little attention and quite some time with careful energy management. And don’t worry, our solar hot water is backed up by a traditional hot water heater that provides an abundant supply of hot water whatever time of day you need to shower. While both bedrooms have air conditioning, we encourage our guests to leave the windows open at night with the fan on and the AC off to experience the local climate. Most evenings are cool with very pleasant sleeping weather.

Brewers Bay beach, one of the most beautiful in the BVI, is just a 3 minute drive down the hill. Cane Garden Bay, another favorite BVI beach, is a short 10 minute drive. Road Town, the capital of the BVI is also a 10 minute drive away, yet when you’re at Villa Matija, you feel like you’re in another world!

Enjoy the beaches, snorkeling or just lounge at the house. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll be glad you chose Villa Matija as your home when you visit the BVI.

Great Location on Tortola

Great stay from start to the end! Great location and unbeatable view. Easy access to Brewers bay and Cane Garden bay. The House was very clean and well maintained which is tough in a tropical environment. The host Tom met us in Road Town and guided us to the house, which was much appreciated! We had no issues or concerns during our stay, I highly recommend Villa Matija!

What a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Tortola. The hosts met to escort us to the house to ensure we found it. The house was well stocked with anything you need. We especially enjoyed having breakfast with the best views we found on the island. We would stay here again if our travels bring us to BVI in the future.

Great Brewers Bay stay!

Loved the property/location! 5 min drive to the beach at Brewers Bay. Great outside space at the house with amazing views- particularly sunset! Tom was a great host- our plane in was late and he was great about meeting us later to take us up to the house. We like to cook and the kitchen was well equipped! Pool was awesome as well! Easy to get into Road Town for provisions/shopping. Perfect location if you like quiet and peaceful!

Great rental with beautiful views

The Villa is in good shape. We had an immediate issue with the air conditioning but repair crew was sent immediately and it was resolved. Having said that, the A/C was rarely used as the house catches great breezes at night. There are steps throughout as is typical for a Tortola property but something to consider with small children or the elderly. Kitchen well stocked and nothing was needed. Property well taken care of and would happily rent here again.

Wonderful views

Very accurate description. Delightful sunset views. Hire car essential, preferably SUV, we had requested one but were downgraded on arrival and an intermediate is not suitable for BVI roads!! Tom’s driveway is steep and, through no fault of his, we grounded out so ended up parking our car in the gateway! Loved Brewers Bay beach, we preordered groceries from Riteway which worked very well. Would highly recommend Capprccio Di Mare for great pasta in Road Town, doesn’t look special from the outside but food was great, as was Tramonti at the Sugar Mill. Would definitely return.

Great Place - Post Charter

Nice home with a great view. Everything worked which was a plus. We brought our Apple lightning plug to HDMI converter so we could watch TV. The hosts were wonderful and communicated well. Make sure your rental car has enough power… steep hills to and from the house. Like most homes in the islands, there is a little deferred maintenance, but overall the house was clean and well equipped. Relaxing stay and would stay there again.

Perfectly stunning.

Tom greeted us immediately after departing the ferry. He gave us a choice of the scenic route or direct to the villla, we opted for the direct route. Be prepared for a drive filled with switch backs and intense incline grades. Upon arrival our immediate response to the villa was simply breath taking. The outside area arund the villa is secluded enough to make you feel immediately relaxed, while the light breeze and distant rolling waves keep your attention on the beautiful Brewers Bay below. The villa is also centrally located on the island so it is an easy commute to all the beaches and restaurants. Tom was attentive to our questions and concerns with ferry schedules and restaurant suggestions. We enjoyed our stay at this postcard worthy retreat!

Our stay, was exactly how we thought it would be…. Beautiful. Homeowners Thomas and Jessica lead us to the Villa, and explained anything we had questions about. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had the most amazing view. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay, and again the owners were two of the nicest people we have ever met.

Gorgeous view, missing important basics, needs attention to detail

We've stayed at a lot of VRBO properties - chosen based on reviews so I am going to be thorough so others are aware before booking. First the good: The owner made great recommendations & was responsive. He met us in town & escorted us to the property - very much appreciated since we would have never found it on our own (no street signs). The view was spectacular & the pool was a nice feature. New beach chairs & umbrella were appreciated. Not so great - the gas grill was rusted out, extremely dirty & didn't heat properly. There were no blankets. Only sheets & a bedspread. Neither of the safes worked. The kitchen had basic utensils & metal pans (one of the nonstick pans needed replacement) but no microwave-safe cookware & nothing to store leftovers in. Only one dish towel & a half roll of paper towels was provided. The pot holders had food on them & one was shredded. We were disappointed new, more comfortable chairs were placed on the 2nd-floor balconies which did not have any views or breezes because of the solid walls & low seating. It was difficult to enjoy the main deck for any length of time because there were only hardwood chairs without cushions. The wood lounge chairs had thin cushions but had a lot of black mold on them. The style of the house is interesting but even with doors and screens shut, there were gaps that allowed insects and spiders to enter. The main lamp in the living area was damaged and peeling. As others mentioned, the place needs an update. We don't expect perfection but this property offered much less than any other property we've stayed in - especially for the price. The owner seemed like a nice person & may have responded had we contacted him while we were there but it would have only detracted from the limited time we had to relax. These are things a simple inspection and minimum attention to detail should have revealed and prompted a host to address prior to any guest staying here. Had we known these were issues prior to booking we would have chosen a different property.

What a beautiful place. The house is well laid out and well thought out. We spent a week on a catamaran then spent 4 days at this wonderful house. Tom was easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to deal with. This property had everything we needed and was the perfect place to just chill. We’re going to miss it but we look forward to returning one day.

My husband and I were completely in awe of the property! Thomas was very accommodating. Thomas assisted us with locating a car rental place after meeting us at the ferry. The rental was in an immaculate condition. One time my husband and I got lost driving and Thomas gave us thorough directions. We appreciated you Thomas. The only con were a few ants in upper level bathroom. That was an easy resolve because there was ant spray on the premises. I give this rental property a 10 out of 10! In addition, the property is on a hill but with the most beautiful view!

Million dollar view

The house is well equipped with all that you need. The kitchen has all the gadgets that cooks will enjoy. The photos you saw do it justice, what you see is what you get. Tom was outstanding to work with and quite the host if you’re looking for a private getaway this is your place. Would say the roosters could be a little annoying at times specially at six in the morning
