There were four of us as some who were supposed to come could not. The villa was perfect and allowed a very easy and pleasant stay. St. Martin is truly a friendly Island. The food was outstanding and easy to get. Would come back many times and enjoy it!!!!!

This was the first time we have used VRBO and we were a little apprehensive. However, this property was above and beyond what we expected. Mala was there to meet us and show us around. explained how everything worked and gave us information on restaurants, beaches etc.The villa was incredible and the view was unbelievable. We would absolutely recommend Villa Matira, we didn't want to leave, can't wait until the next time!!

We just got back from an amazing trip to St Martin and Anguilla. During our stay on St Martin, we rented this lovely villa and it was highlight of our trip. Maly is an amazing Host, and took care of every detail for us (even down to our restaurant reservations). The location of the villa was idea for us, situated just outside of Orient Bay in a quiet gated neighborhood. We loved being a 5-8 min drive to all the best restaurants, but with a little more privacy. The home is ideally situated. It has the BEST view and you don't feel like there are any houses surrounding you. It's a short walk to the Pinel ferry (our favorite day adventure) and my husband and I enjoyed our morning was around the area. Should we return to St Martin, this is the only place we would choose to stay again. Simply the best! Thank you for allowing us use of your fabulous villa.

It was our first-time visiting St Martin, and we had the best time. We did not want to leave. Villa Matira did not disappoint. The moment we walked in all of our cares went away and we were mesmerized by the view and the accommodations. The house manager, Maly, met us upon arrival and walked us through the home. She provided recommendations for great restaurants, nearby markets and a wonderful car rental company, Nono Rentals. Also, a nearby gym for our 16-year-old son's work out. During our week at the villa, we took advantage of the kayaks and paddled to Pinel Island for the most incredible lunch and views. We ate fantastic BBQ at Lolo's in Grand Case. We enjoyed delicious meals in Oriental Bay- le Telegraphie, Sao and brunch at Coco Beach. We spent a day at the most gorgeous beach Anse Marcel, which is a 10-minute drive from the Villa. We took a ferry from Saint Maarten to spend a day in St Barth's- super easy especially since they lifted the Covid restrictions. In Saint Maarten, our teenagers especially enjoyed the highly recommended 12 Metre Regatta- a fun sailing activity for the whole family. And they loved jet-skiing. We also spent a lot of time at the villa; swimming in the pool, making dinner and lunches in the well-equip kitchen, sleeping in the air-conditioned rooms, and just staring out at the incredible view where the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic meet, watching the clouds and the wind in the trees while thinking about life, our forefathers and all of our blessings. FYI: if coming from the US bring cash! The island appreciates the US dollar as payment. The restaurants at Pinel Island and Anse Marcel do not take AMEX.

We have traveled extensively in our lives . This stay was absolutely one of the best stays ever. The location , the view , the Amenities were awesome. The location to the grocery stores and bakery was so easy to navigate. Maly was so helpful and made our stay so easy. We will be back for sure. The property is also awesome from the pool to the kitchen and bedrooms. I would recommend this property to anyone . Thank you Agsin Maly

What a wonderful place and just what our family needed! We had arrived pretty late on a Friday night and woke up early to enjoy the most beautiful sunrise ever!! I must say that we never got tired of view! Early morning dip and after returning from beach in the afternoon dips were awesome! In short, this house is total Zen! Very well equipped and great living space. Just a short drive to Orient Bay Beach (One of my favorites in the world) I must say the restaurants at Orient Bay came to life at night and was fabulous food and good choices. The service perfection! A short drive in the early morning to the French bakery is a must! A BIG thanks to Maly! She helped so much to guide us in the right direction and her tip on car rental is a must. It included shuttle service to and from airport and our car was waiting for us on our arrival. Brilliant! As I told Maly when checking out.... Until the next time!!! Since back home, we have all been daydreaming about our trip. A sure sign of a wonderful stay!!

The house is everything and more. It is exactly as described and the pictures do not do it justice, it is even more beautiful. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was perfect for cooking large dinners and the provided Tupperware was excellent for left overs. The pool was pristine and cared for daily. The Kayak to Pinel was so fun and easy, the drive to Orient beach was super quick and there is a supermarket right down the road. Perfect location for views, convenience and all around just an incredible time. Maly was an incredible resource, very helpful, professional and kind. This property is a must stay and I am sure we will return! Thank you Villa Matira!

The property was beautiful and a great location. Only 10-15 minutes to Orient and to Grand Case. Maly was terrific and gave us suggestions for beaches, restaurants, a private chef and a boat tour. We would highly recommend.

Can't say enough great things about this villa. Pictures online are the real reflection of this property. The view every morning and evening was stunning. Very close to grocery and local restaurants. Upon arriving, we were a little surprised that the living area was not air conditioned...we are just spoiled! It didn't take long to realize that the open air living area and kitchen was better than air conditioning. The natural ocean breeze was constant and perfect. Maly was ALWAYS helpful for any request we had. Would book this again in a second!

We traveled with 4 adults so this was more space than we needed, but the view, the outdoor space, & the amenities made this a great rental for us. The house is beautifully decorated - casual, comfortable and welcoming. We cooked at home several times and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a brand new outdoor grill; we enjoyed meals, wine and game nights more than once at the outdoor dining table overlooking the ocean. We used the kayaks provided to row over to Pinel Island three times during our stay, so this was a benefit of the location we really appreciated. The area around the house is very hilly so morning walks were also a way to get some exercise! Maly greeted us at the house to provide a tour and some basic instructions and she recommended some great dining and beach options which we took advantage of throughout our stay. She was also very responsive to inquiries both before and during our visit. A few items to know before booking. First, this rental wouldn't be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues, as there are a lot of stairs - it wasn't a problem for us, but could have been an issue if we'd had other family members with us. I think it would be useful to include a floor plan in the listing photos so guests can understand the layout better before arriving. For example, the master suite includes a nice, spacious bathroom and dressing room which is down a flight of stairs. Also, only 2 of the bedrooms (the master suite and the bunk bed room) are directly accessible from inside the main house. For a larger group, I think this kind of information is helpful to know in the planning process.

This was our first time going to St. Martin for a family vacation with our 3 kids (ages 22, 21 and 19). We absolutely loved this villa! It's always nice when the rental ends up being as nice as the photos! Every detail was perfect! The villa is beautifully designed with plenty of comfortable lounge areas for reading alone or hanging out with the family. The bedrooms are roomy, comfortable and stylish. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking a big meal - plenty of dishes, glassware, serving pieces, a grill, refrigeration and freezer space. We ended up eating more meals at home than we normally do. The pool was wonderful, and the view gorgeous. Maly was great from our initial introduction to meeting us at the house and then checking us out. She is very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the texts during the week to make sure everything was okay and asking if we needed anything. We had the house stocked with food and beverages before we arrived, and we went to the Super U grocery for other things we needed - great store 5 minutes away. Elizabeth, the housekeeper, was super friendly, too. The house and neighborhood seemed safe to us, and easy to lock up everything. The island is pretty small, so it's a short drive (we rented an SUV at the airport) to dinner in Orient Bay or Grand Case - both have a great selection of restaurants. We kayaked one day out to Pinel and hung out at the beach, which was fun. We took a ferry to St. Barts one day and explored that island, and we chartered a Captain Jo's boat another day to Anguilla. It does appear that the island is still recovering from Irma, but there was plenty to see and do. Beautiful people on a beautiful island. We're so glad we chose this as our vacation, and we can't wait to return!

We have really enjoyed our stay here in this house. It was so well equipped we had everything we needed for our party of nine. Everything was in its place and nothing was too much trouble for Maly when we had a question or needed some help with something. I highly recommend this house. The housekeeper came mid week to renew towels and linens on the beds and generally tidy us up. The pool man came and kept it spotless. Of course it was everyone's favorite spot even before the beach. Thank you Maly!

The house has everything you may need and more. Located just in front Pinel Island, which is a wonderful and very well recommended place, there is no need to look for more. Views are incredible, the Villa is in perfect condition and Maly is a great host. Get all your groceries and gourmet provisions from Carrefour and enjoy the rest of your vacation in one wonderful place.
