We were very pleased with the accommodations at Makere cottage and would highly recommend it to any travelers looking for a place to kick back and relax. The view from property is incredible and we enjoyed having our morning coffee on the veranda daily. The instruction package provided by the host was very helpful, effective and accurate. The private pool was impeccable, the cottage was very clean, comfortable, and took care of all our needs. There is so much to explore on the island, visiting Smugglers Cove, Cane Garden Bay, Long Beach resort, and even took a ferry to Virgin Gorda. We followed the hosts suggestions and got a taxi from the airport and used Jerrys Jeep Rental. Everything was flawless for our trip!

We loved our stay. The view was amazing!It was very clean and had all the amenities you could ask for, Loved the pool. Especially after a day at the beach it was nice to cool down.A few too many bugs for me… maybe because of the heavy rain.

Thank you for your review. I do think your are right that this was down to the unseasonal heavy rain you experienced as normally, because Makere is quite high up, the sun and breeze keep them away.

Makere Cottage

The cottage was perfect for our family. Spacious and clean one bedroom. Our kids lived in the pool and we couldn't get enough of the balcony view. Location was just far enough away from the ferry for day trips and to go to Cane Gardens for dinner easily and avoid the mid-day cruise crowds.

Home is a little dated and needs some upgrading. You should be told prior to booking that ac is only bedroom. Can’t flush tp or drink the water. We didn’t find this a big deal so it didn’t weigh on us. Home was fine for the two of us and the pool was great. Biggest draw back is the hundreds of roosters that crow virtually 24/7 and you can’t escape them. For us really started to get on our nerves by the end of the trip

Thank you for your feedback and we are really pleased you enjoyed the pool and your time at Makere. We are always looking to improve and have already replaced the chipped plates you mentioned. Details such as the location of the AC and local utilities are outlined in the listing, as is typical for homes in the Caribbean. The bay does have a lively natural soundtrack which many guests enjoy as part of the local character though we understand it may not be everyone. Thank you again for staying with us.

Beautiful Views

The views from this property were absolutely stunning. I think the balcony overlooking cane bay was our favorite spot. Coffee on the balcony was so soothing for the soul. We would return in a heartbeat.

The cottage is in great condition and the views from the top during the day are amazing! Enjoyed morning coffee on the patio over-looking the bay. Tina was a great host too and very responsive. My only warning is to anybody renting a car and driving themselves, just know ahead of time, the roads to the cottage (and many other roads on Tortola) are by far the steepest I have ever driven on and not very wide in many parts as well. I was fine and found it to be enjoyable and part of the adventure, but for anybody who is a timid driver or afraid to drive on steep hills, plan to use taxis for your stay and do not rent a car.

What a view!

My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary here and couldn't have enjoyed it more, other than staying longer! We traveled around the whole island, visiting amazing cove after amazing cove. The people are very friendly and I was amazed at how clean the beaches were and not many stray animals, which always makes me sad on vacation. Thank you for an amazing cottage and vacation!!

The cottage was perfect - even better than we expected. The pictures are impressive but can’t adequately capture the astonishing beauty of the views and surrounding area. The location was convenient to beaches, restaurants, marinas, and a well-stocked grocery store. The pool was amazing and so refreshing at the end of hot days spent exploring the island. We also appreciated the option of AC in the bedroom at night, which was hot during the time of year we visited. We loved our time spent on Tortola and can’t say enough good things about Makere Cottage or our hosts. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home in paradise with us!

Relaxation Above Cane Garden Bay

We enjoyed our time at Makere Cottage! The cottage is perfect for a couple offering lots of outdoor spaces, great pool, and lovely vistas. We cooked and used the best outdoor gas grill almost every night. And we never got tired of the view - Cane Garden Bay, Long Bay, and St.John/St. Thomas in the distance. We wished we would have booked the cottage for a few more weeks.

A wonderful stay in Tortola

Makere Cottage was a perfect place to stay. We stayed in Tortola for a month this time and we couldn’t have selected a more perfect home. The property overlooks Cane Garden Bay which is beautiful and its location offers easy access to Road Town, restaurants and beaches. It is very roomy with good size rooms and plenty of closet space. We loved the kitchen and outdoor barbecue and the pool, which you don’t always find in a rental, was perfect. There isn’t anything more we could have asked for.and I recommend it highly.

Unbelievable View

We loved our stay at Makere Cottage in the BVI. The view was so beautiful and the cottage was quite spacious. We spent at least a little time each night on the porch looking down on the tranquil setting of Cane Garden Bay. Brewer's Bay was just a short drive down the opposite side of the ridge and it's an even more peaceful and idyllic beach. I'd highly recommend Makere Cottage for the location, comfort, amenities, and the view!

Wonderful stay at Makere overlooking Cane Garden Bay

Beautiful location. Well-appointed cottage with all the amenities you need. Excellent for a couple looking for a relaxing time in Tortola. A short distance to restaurants, beaches and necessities. Exceptional views from the porch to admire Cane Garden Bay below, with St Thomas and St John off in the distance. Having an afternoon pool was a great addition. Our host were always available and provided all details well in advance. Looking forward to another visit someday soon.Russ and Claudia

Amazing Views!!!

We had an amazing stay at Makere Cottage. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. The views were incredible and we loved the pool. Thank you to Tina for all of your recommendations. At Tina's recommendation we used Jerry's Rentals. They were so easy to deal with! We also took a day sail with Aristocats. Another wonderful experience! I would not hesitate to recommend Makere Cottage to a friend. We hope to return someday soon!

Amazing property!

The location of this villa was perfect, with amazing views and, as it turned out, closest to our favorite beach ( Brewers Bay) and close to the amenities of Cane Garden Bay where we dined most evenings. The Villa has such an amazing view we chose to cook at home one night and the kitchen is perfectly serviceable. The diving is steep and bumpy all over Tortola so we planned on breakfast at the villa every morning and the coffee maker was great! Coffee and pastry on the deck in the morning was a perfect way to start the day after a good night sleep in a very comfortable bed. The pool and patio were also wonderful and we took a dip with a glass of wine most evenings. It was perfect. Thanks much. We hope to return!
