Vacation rentals with a kayak in Leeward Islands

Sam and Toriki are wonderful hosts and this is a perfect place to stay for people who like to swim, snorkel or kayak and read or and chill in a perfect and simple place. It’ an unbelievably beautiful location and it’s for those who want to get back to nature. Provisioning in town is easy to do; so is going off the motu to Fare or Avea Bay for a lunch or dinner out if you have a rental car at their mainland pier, which I heartily recommend. It was hot in late December and there’s no AC but you just jump in the water to cool off. There are plenty of clean linens and towels. The bed was comfortable and the showers are great, inside and on the beach. Loved every moment of our stay.

This place was just as advertised; we had a great time! If you are looking for a hopping nightlife and the bustle of town, this rental might not be right for you. If you are looking for a beautiful private secluded beach with easy access to kayak to the motu or snorkel the reef right out your front door, then this is the place for you. We had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, visiting the motu, watching the sun set and lightning strike when it was raining, and generally enjoyed the privacy and natural beauty Raiatea has to offer. We rented a car for some of our stay and crused the island to find a short hike here and there and we visited the pearl farm on the other side of the island. I recommend this site without any reservations as long as a quiet get away is your goal.

One of those places where you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. An unforgettable stay for the whole family that will remain long as oustanding souvenir. Kids loved jumping in the water from the pier just across the road, easy ride to the shop by bike to get a fresh baguette in the morning, and so much to see and do around the island! You can go there eyes closed for a great stay, we would love to come back some time in the future!

My wife and I spent two weeks in French Polynesia, and visited four islands. Raiatea was our favourite and Thierry and his place are what truly made the difference. The location is stunning, with a beautiful deck right on the ocean, and the possibility to snorkel or kayak in the lagoon. The bungalow is exactly as described, it has a tropical and authentic vibe and has everything you need for a lovely stay. But the best thing was Thierry himself. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to share his culture and his knowledge of the place. He took us to a nearby motu for a fantastic morning of snorkelling and spearfishing, and made us some lovely meals. During our stay, we were also lucky to meet his family, and he invited us to join them for dinner as if we were part of them. Should we go back to Raiatea in the future, we have no doubt we will be staying at Le Noha again!

We had an incredible stay in Taha'a! The house is simply superb, spacious, tastefully decorated and perfectly located on the waterfront. Waking up every morning facing the lagoon was such a joy. The setting is peaceful, ideal for recharging your batteries and enjoying the beauty of the island. The welcome was warm and everything was perfectly clean and well-equipped. We recommend this Airbnb without a second thought to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Taha'a. Big thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our stay at the Blue Coral House was truly unforgettable, and as first-time visitors to French Polynesia and the beautiful island of Huahine, it exceeded all of our expectations. This Airbnb is the epitome of what we had dreamed our trip would be. Bar none, it was a fantastic experience! If you’re seeking a relaxing and peaceful retreat in an impeccably furnished home with stunning views of a breathtaking lagoon and the bay beyond (the sunrises were pure magic!), look no further. We spent six wonderful nights in this chic Polynesian gem, and Ellinor, the owner, has truly thought of everything to make her guests feel at home. The beds and linens were incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor patio overlooking the lagoon was picture-perfect. We also loved the kayaks, which we used daily for adventures in the bay. Jocelyn, the property manager, was amazing—always ready to answer our questions and make our stay even more enjoyable. We simply cannot recommend the Blue Coral House enough.

The cottage is in a great location. The place is just as pictured and was very comfortable. Jenny was responsive. Her recommendations for tours were very helpful. We snorkeled right off then beach in front of the cottage and saw stingrays in the morning and eagle rays in the afternoon. Would love to return again someday!

5 nights spent in Raiatea at Martine's. The accommodation is - 5 minutes from the port by car, all comfort and spacious. It is very well equipped with in + kayaks for sea trips on the public motu to see the reef and make a picnic! Communication is great with super responsive and kind hosts. Thanks again for spending time on your island.

The best thing was the location to the ocean. The water was shockingly warm, crystal clear, lots of colourful fish and some coral close to shore. The entrance gate worked perfectly and having an automated key fob to use was so helpful. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was great. Loved eating outside on the covered deck, great to have an outside clothes line as well. We used the hammock (shared with sister Airbnb rental next door on the property) and the shared kayaks.
