we absolutely loved our stay here. Having your morning coffee sitting on the hammock looking out to the stunning view was just magical. The house is so beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. Communication was seamless and the house spotless. We would 100% recommend staying here.
We arrived after cruising French Polynesia and wanting to re-ground ourselves.Well, Villa Eutierra hit the spot, big time.Words do not adequately describe the environment that you enter and perhaps better to say you are living with nature, rather than on it.Truly a joy
Nous avons passé un très bon moment à villa Eutierra. La villa est parfaite! Très bien décorée, spacieuse avec une vue magnifique. L’emplacement est idéal près de restaurants et de commerces. Nous espérons y séjourner à nouveau!
Wow!! just an incredible place of peace and beauty. Everything was perfect. Amazing view, close to everything and so many thoughtful details.
We look forward to staying there again next year.
Stay here if you are staying in Mo’orea!
My family had a lovely stay at Villa Eutierra. We were really impressed by the property, both inside and out. The outdoor space and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. It was my parents' first time on Moorea and they loved both the island and Villa Eutierra. I was really happy we stayed in such a beautiful home and such a great location on the island.
Sissi's place is exactly as advertised, and exceeded even our highest of expectations. We had a few issues, like me deleting the welcome email, so I had to reach out for help on two separate occasions and Sissi responded within 10 minutes each time!!! Be sure to stop at a local market on the way in to take advantage of the well stocked kitchen, and to save some $$$ while traveling to the islands. Everything is soooo expensive. The plunge pool is perfect!!! We were in it all the time, and were thankful it was not heated!!! Take advantage of the large deck to view the billions of stars in the evening while relaxing on the day bed. Very happy with our stay and would definitly come back! Oh, and yes, you will make friends with the gecko's...lol
A wonderful stay in this gorgeous, private villa, nestled in the hills of Moorea, overlooking the sea. Highly recommend this property to anyone. Wonderful outdoor spaces to relax, a great kitchen for cooking and entertaining. This space would be great for a family or a small group of friends, but is ample and ultra plush for a couple. A car is a must. Please note that the 'jacuzzi' isn't a hot tub, just a small pool with bubbles, but very nice. Also, if anyone in your party has a serious issue with insects, this may not be ideal for you! One has to embrace the fact that you're practically staying in a jungle, and the house isn't designed to, nor can it keep all bugs out. It may take a little getting used to, but be warned if you have a real problem with creepy crawlies! Anyways, there are lots of cute geckos that help to consume some of them ;)
All the same, I must recommend this space 100%. Wonderful communication with the hostess, as well. Thanks so much!
This property is mind blowing. The peace and serenity abound. The owners attention to detail and decorating is refreshing. The beauty of the valley that this house sits in, with a view of the ocean, made this stay the favorite of our trip. The outdoor shower and jacuzzi combo were a favorite of my 13 year old son. Really, a simply beautiful property to stay at.
Hard to say enough about this property. Stunning location; fantastic accomodations. Unlike many rentals that are understandably "generic" in their decoration and feel, Villa Eutierra is clearly a refection of the owner, Sissi's, values and taste. And tasteful it is.
We're not afraid of cooking on a vacation, and we made breakfasts and some dinners during our stay. The kitchen is well outfitted.
The location is a high-end, gated housing development that winds steeply up a canyon. It is the last house going up the hill, so you feel surrounded by nature. As i said, it is stunning. Water views are relatively modest, and in the distance, but that was expected given it is not on the water. But, the expansive deck is just a beautiful place to sit (bug repellant necessary, at least during the rainy season).
Really hard to say enough about the place. My only quibbles: we are a family of readers, and once the sun goes down the light in the house is poor--really hard to find spots where there is enough light to read comfortably. And, to Sissi, my humble request is that you add a bluetooth speaker so music could be streamed. Otherwise, pretty magical.
It's the last house on the road up in the mountains, paved and well kept roads to get up to it. Very nice gated community and well kept grounds. The house has a wrap around large deck with multiple seating areas, covered dat bed, outside ahowerand bath and a cool water jetted tub to cool off in. The veiws are stunning and the sound of bird songs in the morning was amazing, can't say enough about the views. The house was clean and well appointed with all the amenities we needed. The interior decor is nice and comfortable. The host was great and a pleasure to deal with from booking to check out, great communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this place and hope to come again.
Clean, Safe, Convenient location. Charming house. Should be noted the stairs inside are steep with no guardrail. Outside lighting did not work when we arrived and took 3 days to get fixed, inconvenient since sunset was early. We feel that lights should have been a standard check before guests arrive. Place was very clean. We loved our time there
Villa Eutierra is the perfect name for this home - "a good and positive feeling of oneness with the earth and it's life forces" This home is in the perfect location overlooking the ocean and forest. It was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. We loved enjoying our morning coffee and breakfast while enjoying the views from almost every direction. It was beautifully decorated and updated with a local flare. We were so thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to stay at this magical piece of paradise. And hope to one day return.
This was something else I have to say. It’s a unique experience that you won’t find at any hotel/resorts in Moorea or most of French Polynesia. But this isn’t for everyone. And by that, I mean, you have to like sharing your space with geckos, skinks and all sorts of bugs ( that geckos feast on…constantly). You can keep all the windows and doors shut of course but this won’t keep them out 100%. The sliding doors have gaps big enough for the little guys to sneak through. My wife was a bit freaked out the first day/ night with, seeing them walk on walls, but after I gently cornered a gecko and got him to climb on my hand and then my little kid’s hand and finally on her hand, we were all friends and lived happily ever after 😬
The views are amazing, the deck is amazing, the tropical forest is also amazing!
The jacuzzi doesn’t work and it also leaks most of the water you fill it up with in half a day. That should be fixed as it’s very wasteful to use up all that water and it’s also a bit misleading when you’re looking at the photos and expecting to enjoy that jacuzzi from time to time. I noticed leaking jacuzzi’s all around the complex so it’s not just a one off at their place.
The outdoor shower and bathtub they have at the villa ( that not many around there (if any) have, is absolutely great! It sort of compensates for the jacuzzi not working.
It was a lot of fun and we totally recommend “Gecko House” as my kid called it, for an unforgettable experience!
Wonderful, private fully equipped property. Beautiful place and beautiful setting. Property manager attentive and easy to deal with. We had issues with the Fridge as it didn't quite work well all the time and getting a repair during our short stay over a weekend didn't seem to be feasible. The outdoor bathtub needs to be cleaned, it was unusable in the state that it was in and we were looking forward to using it. Finally, common areas can get hot due to no air conditioning... The place is beautiful, a few minor changes and it is paradise.
Great private space in a perfect location — just a few minutes drive from all the best beaches and restaurants. Friendly neighbors and beautiful views.
Gorgeous location. Beautiful home and property. Very much a zen feel and we enjoyed yoga on the big deck every morning. Only downside was power outage 4 times when we tried to use stove and oven at same time (turned off everything else in house, but still took out the power). We quit using oven and everything else worked out fine. Other than that minor issue, everything was perfect. Even made a few gecko friends. Would definitely stay here again.
On entend souvent dire que la perfection n’est pas de ce monde….j’aurais tendance à croire qu’un séjour à la villa Eutierra s’en approche drôlement toutefois…Ma conjointe et moi avons passé des moments inoubliables dans cette magnifique Villa située sur un site magique…Les espaces de vie sont bien pensés, c’est décoré avec beaucoup de goût….les photos sur le site sont très représentatives , on fait nettement corps avec la nature environnante qui est splendide à tous égards…La terrasse extérieure fait environ 30 mètres et les points de vue sont spectaculaires de partout….une douche avec eau chaude à l’extérieur donnant sur un jardins d’ananas fit l’unanimité auprès des 4 occupants que nous étions…Notre séjour a duré 10 jours mais de magnifiques souvenirs des moments de bonheur passés à cette splendide villa resteront gravés dans nos têtes et nos coeurs à jamais
We looooved this property and our entire stay on moorea. The villa was gorgeous, private, and so serene. We rented a moped and easily got around the property and the island. It was close to all our daily activities such as whale tours, restaurant reservations, and the shark and stingray lagoon. Our only regret, is not being able to stay longer. Will definitely be back:)
The house, decor, location... everything was fabulous.
Already planning our return trip and this house is included in it!
Oh... one problem... there was pepper but no salt... but that was it.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars on everything is because the beds were really uncomfortable and the outdoor bathtub is not the same as the pictures, nor does the outdoor shower work (no hot water). And be prepared for bugs that bite, you are in the jungle. Loved the kitchen and the main bathroom shower!

About the host
Hosted by Sissi Cruse
Fell in love with Moorea on my first trip. The islands natural beauty, great energy and lack of tourists was a fabulous combination. After the decision to buy the property, we decided to use it as a means of raising money for my nonprofit foundation GIVBAC IMPACT. A hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to housing, feeding and educating children who have been saved from human trafficking. Because we believe that every child deserves a chance.
Why they chose this property
Testimonal Paula Muessle I just arrived back from Villa Eutierra on the island of Moorea , and it was absolutely beautiful! Nestled high up in a canyon surrounded by palm trees and tropical foliage , and a ocean view that captures your eye. Breathe taking! The villa is beautifully furnished with a Tahitian vibe . Well appointed with everything you would need for your vacation. The deck is another entire living space with a soaking tub, many areas to lounge and relax and escape from the outside world. Add the outside shower and bathing tub and you have a little slice of Heaven! As far as the island of Moorea , words can’t describe its beauty. From the crystal clear turquoise water to the lush jungle, white sandy beaches and the beautiful Polynesian culture, you are truly in paradise. I would HIGHLY recommend Villa Eutierra for your next paradise vacation.
What makes this property unique
The authenticities of a Tahitian bungalow with all the amenities of a 5 star resort. The private perched jungle bungalow has stunning oceans views. So quiet and peaceful yet minutes from the beach.
