Beachfront vacation rentals in Raiatea

It is even better than the photos! Very spacious, great outdoor area with direct water access, bathroom and kitchen and dining area are spotless and lovely decorated.

This place was amazing! We’ve stayed previously in resorts in overwater bungalows but this place topped those. Beautiful views out to the ocean and gorgeous sunsets. The house had literally everything and top quality utensils. We stayed with our toddler and it was perfect. Adrian had a cot for us there which was a standard size cot, much bigger than a usual travel cot, which made it so comfy. The whole place is on the same floor. I thought when looking at the photos that there were bedrooms upstairs but the stairs leads to storage space. The car was so handy for exploring the island. Short drives to the shops and beach. Adrian and Nathalie were amazing hosts. It will be difficult to find a better place than this!

An absolutely great stay! Dream 🌞 welcome at Caroline and Philippe's, two people with huge hearts. Caroline, you're a golden girl, I immediately felt at home, and that's rare. And of course, I don't forget Philippe (so there are no jealous people!😉), with whom I learned a lot about Polynesia. Both were attentive, available, generous, in short... an extraordinary experience that touched me deeply. The accommodation is simple, no frills – and that's exactly what makes the experience so beautiful. We're here to experience the real Polynesia, not 5-star hotels. And frankly, with a sea view like that, what more do we need? You have to know how to live simply, stop worrying, and especially stop complaining when you already have the essentials in front of you. If you're looking for authenticity and beautiful human encounters: go for it. I didn't feel like leaving 💛

Gérards studios are an amazing location, easy to walk to town. And with him providing a free shuttle to the beach! What more could you ask for. My only complaint is the walls are super thin, and can hear the people in the studios next to you. Overall amazing house, host, location, etc. I would come back again!

I felt like I was on vacation with my grandparents. Hélène and Marcel were welcoming and had very good tips on activities to do on Tahaa. The rental of the bike was a real plus!!!

My husband and I had such a memorable stay at Tama’s bungalow. First of all, he picked us up at the ferry port promptly. Chilled fresh coconut water (cracked on site by him!) was served as a warm welcome, and he brought us several different sports such as vanilla farm, peal farm , local church, several good spots for snorkeling (to see sting rays), etc. I loved when he picked up some leaves and flowers from Trees/plants and let us smell… lime leaves, lemongrass leaves, some kind of basil, Ylang-Ylang flowers, and many more.. I felt like I was totally immersed in the local culture and its nature. Along the way, he talked about the history of FrenchPolynesia, characteristic of each island (of Society Islands), local vegetations, things to do/see, eatery recommendation. The bungalow where we stayed is at the top of the hill across his residence, with amazing ocean view. We had also a boat tour with him to see sharks. Tama is a great host and I highly recommend his bungalow!!

Everything was fine except that the title is bed and breakfast and we had no breakfast... Otherwise don't have to put breakfast 😌 Friendly .

Beautiful bungalow in a great location you can’t beat the outlook overlooking the ocean at the rear of the property with steps directly onto the small beach! Comfortable bed and all the amenities you need to make it home from home including a washer and dryer which was very useful and the bungalow was extremely clean!

Alex was a proactive, and responsive -host that went above and beyond create a perfect holiday stay for us. The place was immaculate and absolutely beautiful. We loved our visit and will stay there again on our next trip. Highly recommend!

The house is awesome. We had 8 people and had plenty of space and no problems with showering or kitchen space. Nice washer and lines for drying. Ac in the bedrooms that worked well. Beautiful house, beautiful pool, gated and walled so it was very private and quiet. Easy to drive around. Great place!

Listing as described Benjamin has always been very responsive and warm.

Great stay! The place was spotless, conveniently located close to downtown and all amenities. Very comfortable and as advertised. Alex was super welcoming, very responsive and available throughout the stay. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to come back!

Very responsive from Benjamin. Very nice accommodation with a beautiful one on Faaroa

Nacha and André hosted us very well in their beautiful house, very well located on Raiatea! André knows the island by heart and will gladly pass on all his knowledge about Polynesia. You can also go on a motu by kayak, see sharks and rays in their natural environment. Breakfasts were hearty and very good, with local produce, we also ate a delicious Chinese fondue. Thanks to them and also to Kimi, their adorable little dog!!

Alex was super easy to communicate with and someone you can trust. He gave us lots of useful info even before we arrived. The location of the house is great—since renting a car in Bora Bora is really expensive and taxis aren’t very convenient, being able to walk everywhere is a big plus. There’s a supermarket just two minutes away on foot, and within three minutes you’ve got a Chinese place called Panda and a French restaurant called Saint James, so meals are easy to sort out. The room itself is pretty simple, and the kitchen is basic too, but considering how pricey everything is in Bora Bora, we thought this place was a really good deal overall. Highly recommend!

In addition to a very well-equipped, clean and nice accommodation, we were very well looked after by Nathalie and Tapu. They are very kind, friendly and showed us and gave us tips on all the activities to do in the area. Hospitable, they offered us a friendly drink the first day we arrived. Finally, they made it easier for us to rent a car, which was a great help for getting around the island. Thanks to them for their warm welcome!

Thank you for hosting us, your recommendations and your excellent breakfasts Jean Paul! We loved our stay and would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a little piece of heaven!

We had a fantastic stay at Fare Tahitea! We felt welcomed right away and Tepairu provided very insightful recommandations. The place was clean and well furnished with all necessities (it even had Netflix for those rainy days!). We appreciated the kayaks, the bikes as well as the surroundings. The motu nearby is fantastic for snorkelling and the place is well located at a crossing between the river and the ocean. We also appreciated the small attentions from our host. Her banana cake was delicious! 5/5 in every way! 🙏

We stayed with Stéphanie for the full time in Raiatea, it was such a beautiful place, interior (nicely decorated) as well as exterior. She cares for her garden (More beautiful than the public botanical garden if you ask me) the steep decent to the house gives you an amazing view of the bay, and you have comfortable furniture on her private small beach to take the view in closely. We went for one of the best kayak trips we had in French Polynesia! Although English isn't her strongest side Stéphanie was informative, helpful and very friendly. We strongly recommend this place - it's a perfect fit to an enjoyable holiday! Be mindful that it gets rather hot in European comparison (the sea brease doesn't pass the apartment and the ceiling fans aren't quite as effective as AC. However, windows and the sliding doors are well-equipped with Mosquito net so you can have it all open 24/7 (Fantastic)

Thank you for this trip! Friendliness and kindness were at the rendezvous! The tents are very clean and very comfortable with a very nice view. This is a place that brings you together! I would highly recommend!

Probably, the cleanest Airbnb we have ever been to, spacious, inviting, AC was quiet, shower was hot, WiFi worked fine. Rosiane and her husband met us in person and made us feel welcome from the start. Later that day, we had an emergency, and the hosts were right there to help us. The beach is very beautiful, and it is right across the road. We could not have asked for more.

Clean apartment, bright, with all the necessities, and even small touches (fruit dish etc.). Very good communication with Fabien. I recommend it!

Apart from the road, which is a little noisy in the morning, really great accommodation, right by the water and exemplary communication with Cathy. Thank you.

Patrice and Sophie are lovely caring hosts. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived on the island thanks to a great welcome. The accommodation is immersed in an idyllic and authentic setting far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Recommended (and to be repeated!😁) without so much as a second thought! Maruuru Sof & Pat, and maybe see you next time!
