Vacation rentals with a kayak in Cook Islands

We had a wonderful time at Tepua's Pae Moana in Rarotonga. All was very well presented, comfortable, welcoming, and the house had so many helpful items to keep our days from sunrise to bed, more at home and enjoyable! The fruit, coffee, milk, spices, and dried goods to start our first day was such a boost. All furniture was comfortable and created an open space to visit and go outside, while still feeling part of the location. The kayaks and SUP, extra gear was fantastic! There was so much to do every day. Tepua's Manager Pamela was receptive and extremely helpful via Tepua prior to our stay, which was very reassuring. She does a great job keeping the house clean and ready for guests - to relax and enjoy the beautiful space and surroundings. Lovely vacation and special place.

We had a great stay. The location was perfect and so fantastic being so close to the water. We spent a lot of time kayaking and snorkelling on the lagoon and appreciated that there were plenty of kayaks to choose from and other equipment. The deck was huge and also plenty of outdoor furniture for the sun and undercover. Whilst Feb is generally the wettest month we had great weather most days (only a couple of rainy days). Tia was very responsive to any questions we asked during our stay which was great. We will certainly love to come back one day.

Super nice host, clean villas, beautiful environment!!! I’ll come back next time!!!

We arrived to find provisions in the spotless kitchen - fresh bread, eggs, milk, coffee, beers, wine, salmon pate, cured meats (wow!!!). The place is spotless and nicer than the photos. It's 15-20 feet from the water, on a sandy beach, shady and sunny outdoor sitting areas with protection from the wind. Kayaks, snorkel gear and beach shoes are available. The bed is very comfy. The bathroom is huge and the washer works amazing. Location is perfect - the beach is amazing and very safe for swimming (with a slight lateral current during the tides which feels like a swimming treadmill - so fun!). Snorkelling is excellent with many species of colourful fish and corals. I saw an friendly octopus right in front of the cottage. There is a small grocery store, safe and great car rental place 700m away. The Yellow Hibiscus restaurant is incredible and only 500m away - a must! This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Connie is a fab host and Rarotonga is magic.

This place is absolutely fantastic!! We had a family group of all ages, everyone had their own room and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for us not to be under each other's feet. The house is beachfront, and a short walk to delicious restaurants. Plenty of cups, plates, glasses etc. Kelly was a great host who made us very welcome. We would highly recommend it.

Loved the stay, beautiful place and space. Has everything you need with the beach right on the doorstop. Met a couple of the hosts, lovely people. Josh extended out stay due to our late departure, this was very kind and really appreciated! Would definitely stay here again!

Tuaine was incredibly friendly and helpful. Home had everything needed for our family vacation and the location was amazing and as described. Happy to recommend this villa - beautiful setting with just a few steps from the deck to lagoon paradise! Wonderful holiday.

was absolutely amazing! perfect for myself and my partner! beautiful view and love how all windows have nets to stop buggies. can't wait till our next trip!

Lovely stay at this little cottage, ideal for a solo traveller, like myself. Close to beautiful Muri and loads restaurant options. Enjoyed the pool for a quick dip, and the bikes handy to go a bit further a field. Easy to catch the buses if thats what you wanted.

We loved our stay in Muri Beach, a beautiful location with the lagoon basically on our doorstep! It was awesome to have use of the kayaks for exploring, and having the pool for a cool dip early morning or in the evening after a busy day. I wish we had stayed a little longer! Highly recommend 🙌🏼

Hinano is a wonderful Host. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING was perfect. She made sure we were comfortable and aware of local spots. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience. We can't wait to return next year. Thank you so much!
