Villa de Luxe à Moorea, Polynésie Française

Thank you, Tiare for one of the best experiences we've ever had in a rental! No pictures can prepare you for what you'll see when you drive through the gate upon arrival. Our jaws dropped and we knew we were in Paradise. PERFECT LOCATION with an unbeatable experience. The views are crazy amazing. We loved being able to hang out at our own beach, swim and snorkel. We went snorkeling many times during the week and saw so many beautiful fish (without paying for a tour to see them!!). There are also kayaks to use any time. We were 7 people and there were enough kayaks for everyone to enjoy. It's amazing to enjoy the ocean in the lagoon setting. The waves break at the coral reef break way out from shore. Not a single wave breaks at shore and swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in the quiet lagoon was truly a wonderful experience. We prefer private rentals over hotels so we can fix our own food. There was a large supermarket about 20 minutes from the villa that had a huge selection of food. The kitchen here has everything you need to prepare your own food. Our favorite part was using the grill and eating out in the separate outdoor grass covered bungalow (not sure what to call it). We loved sitting out there at night. We choose private rentals because we prefer to stay away from high traffic tourist areas. This place is absolutely perfect for this. Ha'apiti is quiet and has more locals than tourists. The property managers Romy and her husband were phenomenal. We didn't know daily cleaning came with the rental. Every day, Romy and her husband made sure the grounds and the villa were clean for us. My daughters loved talking to Romy every day. They were able to speak to her in French (something they don't get to do much at home in the US). We give this rental a 10+ and highly recommend it. If we are able to book another vacation to Tahiti, we plan on staying here again!

The house is in such a beautiful location. Steps from clear water snorkeling with green mountains in the back. It's a photographers dream. The staff was great to work with & very attentive. Fresh tropical flower arrangements, fruit & some water bottles along with a lei greeting were nice touches. Plenty of dishes, pans, silverware, toaster, towels, & best of all a washer, drier & a cloths line at the back of the property. The grounds are pretty with plumeria, hibiscus, & a variety of other flowers & bushes & trees. The veranda that faces the ocean has plenty of seating & a table to eat at. There's even a separate open building area to grill & sit in. We never ate inside. There's a outdoor shower to rinse sea water off & foot wash station by the porch steps. Out door lights illuminate the beach if you like walking in the sand after sunset. Not much to be done about it, but be advised there are noises from chickens, other people's dogs, & gecko's chirping. Just bring ear plugs if sensitive to sleeping. The sound of the ocean waves help. Air conditioning is only in 2 bedrooms, but opening both front & back sliding doors gives a good cross breeze. About 2 blocks away they burn leaves & brush making smoke that can come in the open windows & doors. We felt safe here, but anytime you're gone, or at the beach, we closed up the doors & windows. The pretty wood floors in the living room are nice as many rental houses have hard tile everywhere. The refrigerator is large & has a freezer on the bottom making getting groceries easy. The lady who handles booking is quick to answer questions & very helpful. The lady who does housekeeping is kind & attentive & helped us figure things out. The guy who takes care of the grounds & security is pleasant & does good work keeping the property looking nice. You can not beat this location. Sunset over the water, every shade of blue in the reef with coral & fish right at your door step. They have kayaks, paddles & even snorkel fins available. It's stunningly beautiful & we were very happy being in this lovely house instead of the over crowded hotel scene. We highly recommend staying here. You won't want to leave.

This property is absolutely amazing. Most beautiful place on the island. We will be back!
