Bord de mer Appart F2 de standing .
Jean-Pierre is extremely responsive and friendly and helpful. The apartment is very clean and beautifully appointed. Jean-Pierre was OK with us checking in early because our flight landed at 5:30 am! He even left some food for us which was extremely helpful when we arrived so early before even the stores opened. He came the day of to meet us and show the apartment and answer the questions we had. The hotel was extremely peaceful during our stay. No loud music. Well-behaved children:) very serene settings. We walked the beach and watched the sunset every morning. Champion supermarket is 5 minutes away and is the bank and gas station. Very central location to many places. Hotel is quiet. We only heard the roosters in the morning. Cannot recommend this stay enough!!!!

Appartement design et confortable - Spoon House
As with many properties on the island, the road/road noise in front is the price to pay for the beautiful views beyond the road. Nice property, gated and with lovely pool. Apartment was great - comfortable bed, large kitchen, big TV, laundry, etc. The very large balcony extends the entire apartment for constant views and nice outdoor seating and eating. Beautiful sunsets over Moorea. Representative Katty was very responsive: met us outside the airport and we followed her by car to the property (she offered to stop along the way at the store if we needed anything). She showed us how to enter, where to park, how to operate everything inside apartment, and answered several questions during our visit. Very helpful.

Moevai Apartment
We really enjoyed the great view from the apartment! Waking up each day seeing the ocean was a special treat. Quiet and peaceful stay. We really appreciated the gated parking and being within walking distances to stores and restaurants.

White Sand Villa - infinity pool
If we could give Yann’s place six stars, we would. Our condo was a factor in making our Tahiti stay a dream vacation. We truly had the best snorkeling in a gentle lagoon and pristine pool right in our backyard. We also basically had these delights to ourselves. The condo was exactly as described- wonderful! We grocery shopped at a large complex 10 min away (Carre Four) highly recommended a but there are three good restaurants within walking distance. Our favorite place on the island was a food truck called Poke Bar #2. Car rental recommended, unless you’re bus-savvy (the 20 and 30 lines go back and forth to/fro Papeete regularly. One big piece of advice- Amazon some snorkel gear and bring it with you if you can fit it in your luggage. We arranged with our host to rent paddle boards (thanks Bruce)! We hope to be back and will definitely try to reserve Yann’s place again.

Cosy White Suite with Concierge 24/7
We absolutely LOVED this place. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful surroundings add Gaelle’s recommendations with additional VIP Services (arranged airport pick up and even delivered our car to us), this felt like a luxury hotel without the hundreds of other hotel guests. Highly recommend!

Lux Mare avec Concierge
The apartment is beautiful and relatively new. The view is better than the photos. Sergio was very friendly and patient with us at our arrival... The apartment is well located but you need a car.

Le Studio du Manoir
Kalani greeted us with warmth and we settled in with ease. He was an awesome concierge and helped us make the most of our stay. It was awesome to be just steps away from a marked off snorkel and swim area. Dive shop and day use of hotel just across the street made our stay comfortable. Hard to pick which food truck to try as the great smells wafted up to your balcony.

Cosy fare pied dans l’eau
Une très belle adresse. Confortable , accès très facile au lagon, et en prime : le spectacle du coucher de soleil chaque soir. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Merci Elodie

House by the Vaiava Beach
We loved our stay! The pool was wonderful. The snorkeling was amazing and literally out the back door. Our 6 and 8 year olds were able to enjoy chasing fish and playing with crabs in the shallows. There are markers out in the coral reef indicating the coral trail. This is some of the biggest and most elaborate coral I have ever seen. We saw giant sea anemones, I’ve never seen anything like it! The paddle board was nice to take out snorkeling with kids so they had a place to rest if needed. Most of the property has been remodeled and is very modern, the exception being the powder room. The kitchen opens to the back area with barstools at the counter, we ate here most of the time. The doors open in front and back letting a nice breeze blow through. Be prepared for mosquitos because, remember where you are. Amazing fenced in outdoor space for kids to roam and mango tree in the front. Henri accommodated our early arrival. Some noise from public park next door, not bad.

Grande Villa 5 chambres - Bord de mer
A superb place to stay. Quite a way from the airport so be prepared for expensive taxis. The location is right in the beach and the sound of the waves is exhilarating. Only downside was the traffic noise and maybe could do with a couple more fans? Otherwise amazing. Would stay again. Many thanks !

Beachfront Home Puna'auia Tahiti
Super hôte merci !

Pae Miti Beach house - white sand beach - Tahiti
My stay at this Airbnb in Tahiti was absolutely unforgettable. The house had the best views I’ve ever seen — waking up to the turquoise water and palm trees was like living in a postcard. The beach was just steps away, quiet, clean, and perfect for swimming or just relaxing. The house itself was fully equipped with everything I needed — from kitchen supplies to beach towels and even little extras that made it feel like home. Super clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The host agency was also excellent — they kept great communication with me throughout my stay, checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly and responding quickly to any questions. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful and luxurious beach getaway in Tahiti!

Bungalow beach house Punaauia mer, wifi, commerces
Bungalow en 1er ligne, bien équipé et bien aménagé ! parfait pour un couple . Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la vue splendide sur l'océan ainsi que le petit jardin , Il y a même un portillon pour un accès direct à la mer ! la communication avec Véronique la gérante de la Conciergerie Jade a été limpide et le tout avec beaucoup de sympathie ! Bref que du bonheur, la preuve nous avons déjà réservé à nouveau le Bungalow pour la fin de notre périple...

Fare Miki Miki - Plage privée
The property, including the grounds, is well maintained and communication with the host was excellent, very helpful and accommodating. We loved the beautiful sea views from the patio as well as the spectacular sunsets and really liked the outdoor shower, which is fully equipped! Also appreciated the great WiFi! One thing to note is the air conditioning is in the bedroom only (I think this is common in Tahiti). On some days, we found the temperatures too hot with not enough breeze through the house to really tolerate so we were somewhat uncomfortable, but that is a personal preference and also related to the time of year we were here.

Very beautiful apartment 2 rooms Lafayette Beach
Eric’s place was a wonderful way to end our trip. His place was perfect and had everything we needed. The location was incredible because it is adjacent to a beautiful black beach, quickly accessible through the Tahitian Pearl hotel. It was extremely convenient to walk outside onto hotel property and have a drink and appetizers at the beach side restaurant. Our only regret is not staying at his place longer than one night. Thank you for a memorable end to our trip.

Facing Tahiti Harbor! Stunning 1bedroom Appt!
Hosts were great to respond to any questions. Great location. A cruise ship came in so it looked just like photo. Could watch ferries running in harbour. A lot of stairs so travel light. Would stay again if I return. Merci

Studio 59 PPT, near Paofai garden / high speed net
logement au top! hôte très accueillant et aidant.encore merci pour tout

Studio Mahinui's place
Place in older building, which is typical and okay, inside was very nice. 2nd bed was a large modern chair that smoothly and easily folds into a single very comfortable smooth bed. I was impressed and will find one for my home one day. Across from park and waterfront, made for a pleasant evening with bars along marina front. Nice location, walk to market and ferry easily. Street traffic noise not an issue for us, you're on 4th floor above street. Car parking in rear easy, just need the remote from unit first. You can temporarily park on large sidewalk with no issue. Read instructions to make easier to understand. Coffee pods and teas were nice. I would stay again

Sunrise Cozy City place
En super dejlig lejlighed med en skøn udsigt over papeete og bjerget

Surf Oasis - View A C and wifi
Great place to be able to enjoy some quiet time. Super clean! The pool was mostly clean (lots of worms in the pool) but no furniture down there so we just took our towels when we wanted to lay out.

Iris studio+lagon 1mm by walk+wifi/netflix
Super logement où tout était à notre disposition: sèche cheveux, huile, vinaigre, masques tuba…. On a adoré notre séjour chez Maël qui a également eu la gentillesse de nous donner de super conseils sur les choses à faire, des restau où manger… Encore merci pour tout!!

Tahatai - Private beach, pool, AC, High speed net
Nous avons passé 5 jours fabuleux à Tahiti et l'appartement proposé par Gaelle y a contribué largement. La résidence White Plage est récente, très bien située avec un jardin magnifique, une piscine incroyable qui donne sur le lagon. L'accès à la plage est au pied de la résidence, on dirait une plage privée ! L'appartement était formidable, très bien équipé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. La terrasse est exceptionnelle avec une vue dont on ne peut pas se lasser ! Pour finir l'accueil par Gaelle et Magdalena a été très chaleureux. Elles nous ont donné plein de bonnes adresses. Merci encore 🌸. C'est l'endroit idéal pour des vacances de rêve !
