Villa Mitirapa

Villa Mitirapa

10/10 Excellent
"The Villa we stayed at was at the end of the property which overlooked a small island in a little bay. The property owner/manager said they have about 10 Villa's and if they are all as nice as the one we had he's lucky (also a super nice and helpful guy), ours had a nice small private pool. The location is a bit secluded so rent a car to best get around and the Wi-Fi worked fine. We did not rent a car and taxi's were about $120 from Papeete, We were brought two breakfasts and an AMAZING dinner of shrimp and rice with the fixings. Highly recommend this place, it is on the south side of the island, I choose it to be able to play golf at the one resort on the island (about 20 min from the property)."

"I stayed in the Kava bungalow which I thought was excellent. That said, the stairs to the loft where the main bed is are small and steep so something to keep in mind if you need to try to make it down to use the bathroom and back up in the dead of night. The grounds and the view are straight out of your favourite travel influencer’s TikTok, so that’s a highlight, for sure. And the food at the restaurant was great. The whole place is up a steep hill so it’s not really walking friendly but if you can afford to stay here you can likely afford a rental car to negate that."

"The Teahupo’o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV. It’s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupo’o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if you’ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well. The pension is quite nice, super new, with excellent wifi, so I’d highly recommend it for sure."

Beautiful house on white sand beach

Beautiful house on white sand beach

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Villa Moe for 10 days and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The house is beautiful and sits right on a private, peaceful, and safe beach where you can snorkel, swim in the warm water, or simply relax and enjoy the incredible surroundings. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable, but our favorite feature was the terrace. It was the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee while taking in the spectacular views and, in the evening, watching the most gorgeous sunsets. The location is ideal, with easy access to downtown Papeete, the ferries to Moorea, and other parts of Tahiti, including the beautiful presqu’île. It was the perfect home base for exploring the island while still providing a wonderful place to come back to and unwind. We would absolutely stay at Villa Moe again if we return to Tahiti. It truly felt like a special place, and we were sad to leave! And finally, a huge thank you to our wonderful host, Alban, who was so welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. Alban, merci encore et qui sait, à bientôt !"

Punatea Village

8/10 Good
"This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and baked goods) or restaurant is 2.5 kilometers from Punatea Village. I would stay there again, but only if I had a rental vehicle."

Toahere Beach House - Right on the Beach - Pool - Pontoon

"Ingrid and Haimeni were amazing hosts. They guided us to the best activities, food and adventures. Our family used the pool, kayaks, dock. The property is very new, clean and all new modern appliances etc. The kitchen is very complete. Upon arrival there was a basket for us of amazing local fruit and there were flowers placed everywhere for us. It felt very special. In the morning you see the most amazing sunrises coming over Tahiti Iti. Zero mosquitos when we were here mid-June. Safe parking is on the grounds. The 1 km road to the house is a dirt road - we had a bottom of the line rental car (Renault Kwik) and had no problems. Restaurants, markets, grocery stores, snorkeling, surfing are all less than 15 minutes away. We did a 4x4 tour across the island and saw so much more as a result. In my mind, the location is perfect for exploring the full island. Ingrid and Haimeni were very attentive to any questions we had."

"This place is magical. Beautifully landscaped, the decor and layout is inviting and original. The owner, Martine, was incredibly helpful with any needs we had, full of tips on what to do and proud to share her knowledge of the place. It is a tranquil oasis, interrupted only by the clucking of roaming chickens and roosters. Perfect for a relaxing get away in paradise."

10/10 Excellent
"The property was even more beautiful than the photos! We loved listening to the waves as we were going to sleep and opening our eyes to the ocean that's a very short distance away. What a treat!The way the house was built, kept it cool during the day so the temperatures were very comfortable during our entire stay. The spacious porch facing the lagoon provided beautiful views and plenty of outdoor dining. The house was well stocked with spices, coffee and oil, which was very helpful. The hosts were great. They are the most gracious and accommodating owners we've encountered on VRBO. The coconut they prepared and provided was much appreciated as well as the delicious honey from their own bee hives. They provided a lot of helpful information about the surrounding area for hiking, biking and water sports. We were guided on a beautiful hike that we took directly from the house. We saw two waterfalls, several swimming holes, eels, fish and more! We can't put into words the beauty of these mountains. We also kayaked in the tandem daily and enjoyed viewing the corals and many brightly colored fish. We highly recommend this rental property and can't wait to return!"
