Disliked: Cleanliness
We only stayed 2 of our 7 nights booked.Cleanliness was an issue at this property.The pool was advertised as a top-rated pool, but the pool was not clean and is in need of repairs.The patio furniture cushions were stained and need cleaning. There was animal feces covered in white powder outdoors, dead insects inside/outside and ants on the kitchen counter. The coffee pot and the toaster were too dirty to be used. Household and soap supplies were limited. The website pictures did not accurately reflect the furnishings. The safe was unusable as it was locked. The directions were accurate but the road up the mountain to the home is in total disrepair.The property views/sunsets are as advertised and were absolutely beautiful.

We were looking for a place to relax after several months of travel, and found just that. We basically stayed put and enjoyed the calm and incredible sunsets from the terrace. It's a steep bumpy drive down to the coast, but there's (food) shopping right there, and an excellent bakery. The beach at PK18 is around the corner, and it's not far into Papeete, either if needed. We had a wonderful time, even if there was the occasional thunderstorm.
Breathtaking view

Little hard to find as our google maps wasnt working and adress and road signs are not common in Tahiti it seemed The house is amazing! The owners were so polite and helpfull. The views were spectacular. No need to watch the big screen TV as we spent alot of our time on the front deck overlooking Moorea Island and the Ocean. The pool was just big enough and refreshing for what we needed.We would definitely stay again. Much thanks!

Modern Stay among the locals with GORGEOUS VIEW

Just WOW! This hidden gem is up in the mountain in the middle of local residences and it offers THE BEST view to wake up to and a GORGEOUS Sunset. It's PERFECT for 2 people... or maybe even a small family of 4. (Or maybe 4 Adults if they have a good relationship to share a bathroom). The place has great ventilation, and the A/C in the master Bedroom is nice to have for the hotter times during the day. The unit is clean and spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom and the shower are big. The bedding is comfortable. The owner is very easy to reach and responds quickly, whether you have questions about the rental property or general questions like where to go eat for a special occasion or where to go buy something that you forgot at home. We had dinner at 2 of the places she recommended and they were both AMAZING. And her instructions to the property were OUTSTANDING. The washer and dryer are a GREAT asset, as we traveled for 17 days total throughout the islands, so we were able to pack in a smart way, knowing that we would be able to wash. We would stay here again if we ever had the chance to go back... and we would recommend it to others. THANK YOU for the opportunity to stay here!

What a view! Tough drive up.

The view of Moorea is truly spectacular from the back porch. The small house is clean with a nice modern kitchen and a small refreshing pool. Three geckos and some bugs quickly got in after we arrived, apparently through some gaps in the windows or sliding doors. The chirping geckos were annoying mostly to my wife. There also some other issues: the safe didn't work, the sheet on the bed didn't fit properly and there was a strange noise every 15-30 minutes that sounded like someone tapping a microphone. The two biggest negative issues were: finding the house and the rough steep road up to the property. First of all her directions were hard to understand and didn't translate well from French to English. Google map link in VRBO was close but wrong. Another problem was as you near the house, she describes a Y and you should take the right fork. Unfortunately, there really are three road options and if you take the far right road you end up on an extremely steep and frightening road with NO turn arounds. DO NOT TAKE THE FAR RIGHT OPTION! Take the middle prong, or the right prong of the left split. For sure, do not try to find it at night. If you use Google Maps use the following: Tahiti Moetama Cosy Lodge, Puna'auia, French Polynesia. Finally, the check in material said we would do a self check in, but the owners had some one waiting on us. We were running late and we did not notify anyone since we didn't think it was necessary. I could not find anything in my emails about it

Great view in a well-designed space with basic amenities

This home has a stunning view at a great price. The interior photos are unfortunately no longer accurate. The couch is not as inviting and is very basic. The home has great features such as retractable doors onto the terrace and a nice kitchen. But cooking and dining supplies as in many rental properties are mismatched or non-existent. Since we enjoy having a kitchen for the purpose of cooking, that is a disappointment. Finding it initially was difficult because of mislabeled directions but we were not at all put off by the steep climb. It was worth it for the dramatic cliff top position and privacy, which for the price can’t be beaten. On the upside the WiFi was great and the TV worked flawlessly. The pool was very nice. We enjoyed our stay overall and simply hope the owners will make some very modest investments so the total experience matches the view.

Beautiful view

We had a short layover in Tahiti for 3 days following our cruise on the Aranui and I chose this property up in the mountains for its location and privacy. We weren’t disappointed. It is somewhat challenging to drive to and you definitely need a car, a manual one is better. The properity was just as beautiful as advertised but unfortunately they are doing road construction down below it so there was some construction noise during the day but it really didn’t bother us that much. The owner was very helpful in accommodating our needs. We would stay there again.

New home with amazing view. The patio is great with water views in the day and incredible stars at night. AC works great. The doors open up wide to give an inside/outside vibe. Just know in doing this bugs/gecko/spiders get it. We felt it was worth it. Navigating to the property is a little tricky with a bumpy dirt road at the end. Using goggle maps is a must. Overall great stay and would stay again.

Wonderful villa with fabulous views

Fortunately, driving instructions were very clear as it involved 1.5 km ascent, last leg on bumpy road, but once we entered the gate, wow! Villa was excellent, pool was great and deck has fabulous views of Pacific & Moorea. as usual, kitchen lacked gourmet equipment, but otherwise all was excellent. Owners were very helpful as well.
