Tahiti Luxury Apartment
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Bertrand's condo, choosing his place based on its close proximity to the airport, washer/dryer (with detergent) pool and excellent reviews, which we found to be quite accurate. Very clean, well-stocked (especially the expresso pods, hot cocoa & sugar), modern & tastefully decorated. Superb views of Moorea from our large balcony as well. Our host, Katty, warmly welcomed us at check-in and showed us how things worked. She gave excellent suggestions for restaurants, where to get groceries and things to do in Tahiti. Katty was also very quick with responding to all our questions. It was convenient being able to leave our suitcases there after checking out since our flight didn't leave until early evening. Thank you, Katty, Bertrand and Gaelle making our first time in French Polynesia so memorable. Highly recommend staying here!

Beachfront Luxury 2-room apartment.
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!!!!

RAIATEA / Beachfront / Studio of "Fare Rêvé"
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)

Moevai Apartment
We had a great stay! The place looks just like the photos - clean, comfortable, and with a beautiful sea view. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the late check-out was a really nice bonus. The space and setup were perfect for our group of two couples. The underground parking and washer/dryer were also super convenient, and the location is close to restaurants, sights, and the airport. Overall, it was a great deal and we really enjoyed our time here!

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 with 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.

Island time
We spent 1 month , in a little paradise. Aurelie is a very welcoming person, very kind and helpful . We had a great stay in a beautiful setting the studio is decorated and tastefully furnished very well located at the foot of a superb lagoon.

The View
We have a small though upon arrival. The floor of the listing is simply cleaned with a sweep. No mop so the floor was stained. very functional accommodation, nice view of the lagoon. Thank you to Tasha for her kindness and reactivation following the problems encountered in the apartment.

Villa Vaihere
Our family of five stayed at this beautiful property over Spring Break, and it was an unforgettable experience! Moorea is breathtaking, and the home’s location offered easy access to amazing hiking, plus a dock and beach that made snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking effortless. The marine life was incredible—sea turtles, lemon and blacktip sharks, rays, eels, and countless tropical fish. One unforgettable day, a large pod of dolphins played just beyond the dock. The dock itself was a fantastic perk, making snorkeling and swimming even easier. The home has stunning views of the bay and mountains, with plenty of space and great sunset vantage points. The outdoor shower and bathroom were perfect after time in the water. This property and location are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place—we are so grateful for the experience!

Otaha Beach House Where the Beach is Your Backyard
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!

Raihau Lodge - AC, Fiber, Beach & Kayaks included!
Our stay here in Moorea could not have been better! The beauty of the location was beyond our expectations. We loved waking up and walking out our back door and out ino the warm water seeing rays and black tipped sharks. The kayaks were a fun workouts. The bed was so comfortable and the A/C worked well and kept us cool. We already miss our Moorea home away from home. Joy was helpful, from the first question after I booked until the day we left. Please note that the A/C is only in the bedrooms and the only TV is upstairs in a room without A/C. I didn't realize at the time of booking but now I'm glad because we loved our stay. I whole heartedly recommend staying here.

Tahitian bungalow on the beach
Gilles bungalow is perfectly situated just in front of the corral beach. There are paddles and kayaks you can use and nearby motus are close enough to visit by water for snorkeling. Just by 100 meter away from the beach front, we spotted rays and friendly sharks. If you are up for a little longer ride, you can kayak to coco beach where you can see tons of fish and rays as well. Gilles is very friendly and everything about the bungalow was exactly how they are described on the listing. My husband and I had such a memorable stay at his place. Highly recommended!!

Fare Meko Fakarava
Great stay, we'll be happy to go back! We loved the location, close to the bakery, small shops, and even diving clubs. The bikes available are a real plus, as is the breathtaking view of the ocean and the great veranda where life is good. The house is superbly ventilated, well ventilated, and thanks to the proximity to the ocean and the screens on the windows, no mosquitoes on the horizon: real comfort! We absolutely did not suffer from the heat, we were really good there. Special mention for the excellent bedding, the impeccable cleanliness of the accommodation, the calm of the place... and especially for the welcome of Taha, really adorable, of great kindness, always available, responsive and smiling. A big thank you for the beautiful necklaces of Tiare, a delicate attention that touched us. So excited to come back! We recommend this listing without a second thought: it really ticks every box! A gem!

Torres pretty house with pool! Near lagoon
Great stay at Allen's, we loved the house, the outside, the tips, the island is beautiful and full of things to do, we had little touches upon arrival! In short, a no-fault I recommend 100%! Thank you very much 🙏

Luxurious 4BR Villa
We had the most amazing time at this beautiful home! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The owner is very responsive and helpful - and Stephanie, the local manager, is very friendly and helpful. The home is so lovely and comfortable and well-equipped. The views are just breathtaking - as is all of Moorea! We loved being able to walk out into the lagoon to swim and snorkel (there is some equipment but we had our own as well) -- and especially loved the paddleboards! What a special place this is! We hope to be able to return before too long.

MOTU LODGE HOUSE
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.

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
My second stay with Gaëlle, perfect as before. Highly recommended.

Tetavake Sunset stunning 2 bedroom condo with
This is the ideal Airbnb in Tahiti. Book now!It is centrally located an easy 10-15 minute drive into downtown and also another 10 minute drive to one of the best beaches for snorkeling. Right down the hill there is a selection of food trucks (go for the poke and Lani’s bbq). The Airbnb itself was in pristine condition, had ample towels, kitchen gear, hair dryer, washing machine, etc. it is a bit of a walk to take your trash out, but everyone in the building has to do it. Tahiti is a sleepy island so night time is equally peaceful. Beds were nice.

Elegant 2-bed flat Papeete, AC, parking, WiFi +
one of the best airbnbs in papeete!! loved that it was only 7 minutes from the airport too. hosts were super responsive. loved that there was a/c in every room (Tahiti is super hot so this is a must) as well as a washer/dryer. absolutely perfect for families!! highly recommend this place.

Dolce Vita Bora Bora, 2-bedroom apartment
Communication was excellent. We arrived by flight, had a rental car and took the quick 5 min drive over. Sam was there, who lives on the property. He got us situated, even offered to let us borrow the kayak to go out into the lagoon, and found some snorkels for us to use! We had a nice short stay in Bora Bora, and everything was so close. My wife wasn't feeling well and we had an afternoon flight out, and with rain all day, there wasn't much for us to do, so with a flexible check-out we were able to let her rest and I took the kids down the road to the yellow food truck Kai Kai. Thank you for a great stay!

1-bedroom beachfront apartment and Sunset
What a wonderful find! The condo was exactly as described, it was immaculately cleaned, and had all the comforts we needed for our week in Tahiti. We had wonderful meals at the recommendation of our host, and we’re so touched by the well stocked kitchen when we arrived at night. What a great find to have something refreshing to drink when we finally got into our room. The condo was so quiet, and away from street noise. The only sound we heard for a week was the ocean crashing against the shore. It was magnificent. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy Hideaway in paradise.

Tahatai - Private beach, pool, AC, High speed net
