Papeete Apartment with a sea view, WiFi, parking, pool, A&C
This is an amazing apartment with a view for sunsets. There is an automatic blind that you can lower/raise. I haven’t seen an Airbnb with this many immensities EVER. They make it so comfortable that you don’t want to leave. You can lie in bed and look out over the water. Even though it was a holiday, two grocery stores open nearby. I walked to the international market downtown. it was a bit of a hike but totally doable. Veronique was in touch daily to make sure I had what I needed. This is an amazing apartment and the people are so considerate, kind and thoughtful. They do transfers to and from ferry and airport. I highly recommend this Airbnb. I will be back!

Cute well styled apartment quite close to the airport for our late night arrival. Kim was extremely responsive and helpful.

Oasis in Tahiti - WIFI - Pool - Beach access
Wow, ten stars! This condo in Tahiti delivered an absolutely stunning and unbeatable experience. The unit feels brand new, and the entire property, from our unit to the complex grounds, were immaculately clean. We loved the peaceful, neutral design, which provided the perfect backdrop to the vibrant greenery of the tropical garden and the beautiful blues of the infinity pool and private beach. The ocean views from the beach of Moorea were simply heavenly. Magdalena was an incredible host, warmly greeting us in person and showing us all the ropes. She was always on hand to help and gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations. We truly cannot recommend this place enough; it was a wonderful and memorable stay, thank you!!

Green Paradise - Your oasis in the city
Such a great location and man was it beautifully done inside! We loved our stay! Better than photos and close to everything! Such a helpful host and we know where we will be when coming back to Tahiti

Peaceful Heaven with Pool and Idyllic Beach
Very good stay as a couple. The place is relaxing and beautiful. The pool is a real plus. The accommodation is well equipped and clean. Thank you for this stay, I recommend

Private beach access, fiber optic internet & parking
We had a wonderful 18 hour overnight layover and couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. The host was responsive and helpful from the start making the autonomous check in seamless. The apartment was perfect for us-clean, comfortable and close to the airport. We rented a car to drive to the waterfalls which was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the waves. The black sand beach was a unique sight. Highly recommend for a peaceful stay!

Moevai Apartment

Polynesian Charm - Close to beach/shops
Stayed at davids place for our last stay! Very close to the beach and airport and also a convenience store nearby which the big one closes at 7 or 8pm and the mobil express is 24h which is great as most shops close early. There are also eateries nearby like vini vini. David was very nice and even gave me a gift (very thoughtful) his place is definitely worth the value and have a nice calm setting. Thank you for the stay!

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.

Large 5-bedroom villa – Beachfront
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
Beautiful seaside with cozy and new house In a very nice area with Tamanu shopping center within walking distance

Beautiful house with sea and garden view
epic location and amazing place. we loved it!

Pae Miti Beach house - white sand beach - Tahiti
The house was exactly as the photos. Beautiful home with a grassy front yard with access to the beautiful beach. They provide a paddle board and a kayak; great for us, we used it daily. You definitely need a car since it is located off the main road about 15 min from airport. The house was nice, clean and spacious for our group of 5. Two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are detached from the main house. Loved this Airbnb and the fact that it is on the beach made it so much more fun! definitely recommend this Airbnb. The agency is very responsive and helpful.

Lagoon & Garden House w/ kayaks
This place is awesome! The lagoon is so close, kayaking and snorkeling right out front was so good! The house was comfortable and spacious and easy, just made for a wonderful week in papara. Thank you Hina!

Sunrise Cozy City place
We have been to this accommodation several times. We really appreciate it when we're with the kids, it's big and spacious and nice.

Surf Oasis - View A C and wifi
It's very clean and modern. The view and pool are highlights. It's in a gated community up on a hill, so it's quiet with no street noise. We had our two year old son with us and he loved the pool and the balcony.

Studio Mahinui's place
nice place close to central Papeete.

Iris studio+lagon 1mm by walk+wifi/netflix
