Vacation rentals with a kayak in Polynesia

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house/location. It had all the space and amenities to make it a comfortable stay for our party of 6. We loved waking up every morning and walking over to Kraken Coffee for a delicious cup of coffee and then later walking over to the food trucks at night for an amazing variety of food for dinner. Probably our absolute favorite thing was how conveniently close Foodland grocery store was. We would love to stay there again in the future! Mahalo!

5 Stars – A True Paradise! We had the most unforgettable stay at this incredible home in Moorea! The house is perfectly situated on the most beautiful beach we've ever seen—crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and the kind of sunsets you only dream about. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. The home itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. But what truly made the experience stand out were the hosts. They were incredibly gracious, warm, and helpful—from the moment we arrived until the day we left. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and shared so many great local tips. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re coming to Moorea, this is the place to stay. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

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.

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

Our mountainside rainforest home was the highlight of our vacation. The view was amazing and we enjoyed breakfast on the deck every morning while spotting wildlife. There is every kind of fruit you can imagine growing around the home. It truly felt like paradise. Priscilla was very accommodating and responsive with any questions we had. If you value serenity, natural beauty, and privacy, this property is a real treat. Also, no bugs!

Overall great stay and Brandon was very nice and responsive. The access to the private athletic club was nice to get a workout in (gym, basketball, pickleball) / go in the pool. Having a washer and dryer was very helpful too. I thought the place would be a little bigger based on the pictures but not a big deal. Was central to poipu and great if you want to be in the south but I’d likely consider east and north area for my next visit as it’s closer to more things. Not a knock of the property but just FYI for new Kauai visitors. Appreciate the hospitality Brandon!

Thank you for the comfort, cleanliness and small touches in the accommodation. Spectacular sunsets. Wonderful lagoon and swimming. Great location in front of the motu accessible by kayak provided.

This was a great stay! We loved the traditional Tahitian style home with open air to hear all of the waves crashing. The netting on the beds worked wonderfully to keep any insects at bay. Expect to see a gecko here and there on the walls. The path leading to the house is a gorgeous walk with beautiful flowers. We loved the lookout for coffee and sunset views.

We loved our stay at Lucky’s. We had just come from Neiafu where we’d been for a few days and this was such a lovely change of pace. Totally remote, right on the beach, cute wee house - so peaceful. Kurt was really helpful and friendly throughout our stay (and in advance) as well, and helped us book our taxi to Lucky’s and then to the airport at the end of the stay. As mentioned in the listing there is no WiFi, and we also missed the note about digicel reception being bad so we had almost no service while we were there. That was fine with us but just something to note. Bring insect repellent too as, being right on the water, there are mosquitos around.

I had a very relaxing stay at Raiponi’s place - the whole area has a friendly, laid-back vibe. After three months of travelling, I was ready for some down time which I found amongst the papaya and banana trees, beautiful flowering plants, cats and lagoon. Note that the bungalow is not sealed and the air conditioning is from the breeze that flows down from the mountain side - so if you’re in to rustic luxury, this is the place! Raiponi is super friendly and respectful. As a solo traveller I appreciated knowing he was available if I needed anything as the location is remote. I’d be honoured to visit there again!

We had a fantastic time at Tiare Nui's beach house in Bora Bora. The house is very nice, fully furnished, steps from the beautiful Matira Beach. Kitchen is fully equipped, porch is great, pool is small but perfect for little ones. The nearby Beach is fantastic. The bay is beautiful, you can snorkel directly from the beach, corals are a few meters in the water, tons of tropical fish and passing sting rays. I highly recommend the place. The host is very helpful and flexible.

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!

We had a great stay here for a week, the place is a perfect base for exploring the island. Close to restaurants & cafes. The bikes & kayaks were great to use & the bed was super comfortable - highly recommended!

Mary’s home was perfect for our family of four. We have two young children and Anini beach was perfect! Just across the street is an access path to the beach. Soft sand with crystal clear calm shallow water, perfect for snorkeling and just splashing around. We even saw a sea turtle. The house is much better then the pictures, beautiful plantation style interior with a screened in dining area and lani to enjoy the morning sun. Our kids loved the out door shower and all beach equipment supplied at the house. My one comment is that it can be loud at night with roosters and cars passing by. If you bring ear plugs you’ll be fine. We can’t wait to come back.

My brother and I spent 9 nights in Bruce's cottage and can't imagine staying anywhere else WHEN we come back to Kauai. The home felt very private, even though on the farm property. I've seen other reviews mentioning ants, but they were a very minor issue, just keep the kitchen clean and you won't see them! We loved the geckos, they are so harmless and will even pose for up close pictures! You'll get used to the roosters, they are everywhere on the island, just bring earplugs to ensure a good night's sleep. Bed's were cozy, King in the bedroom as well as the pullout couch in the living room. Plenty of linens and pillows. Showers were great, a spacious indoor shower and a great outdoor shower as well. We took advantage of Bruce's rental car. Very well kept and clean SUV. Cheaper than a rental and Bruce provided pickup & dropoff services at the airport. Lastly, we played in 2 "farmball" games on the Fridays. So fun! All the players were so friendly and welcoming. Mahalo Bruce

My favorite airbnb stay in the southern hemisphere. Hope to come back soon. Great views, kayak from the land to one of the best snorkeling areas on Mo’orea. Wonderful garden and loved picking fresh herbs for cooking and bananas off the tree. Maea is a great host with great suggestions and positive energy.

We had a real crush on Joëlle, even before the place. Joëlle is endearing, kind, pleasant. She does everything to make you feel comfortable. The proof we didn't want to leave anymore. As for the place, it's sublime. The cabin is timeless, facing the ocean. There is equipment available, everything you need to do nice walks on the water or inland. Go to Joëlle's.

Such a beautiful view to wake up to every morning from this bungalow. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I loved the location because it was close to a lot of the activities I was wanting to do. I felt very safe and had my privacy in my own bungalow. Sonny was great with communication and I also appreciated the flexibility in allowing me to check out a little later for my flight. I love Rarotonga! I’ll be back and will definitely recommend to my family and friends back here in NZ.

I would say that this location is not for everyone - as Louise states very clearly. We loved it! But it is definitely a little rustic outside. The inside is very clean with a funky decor. The amenities are great if you have a small child with you - lots of toys for them to play with. There were chickens and baby rabbits to see and a great tree to climb. We had a very nice time and Louise was very attentive but respectful of our privacy.
