Location and view from property were great (about 3 miles to “downtown” area). Follow directions and photos from host to find place or you won’t! Good kitchen amenities with induction stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all cooking necessities. Hot water in kitchen sink is beyond scalding so beware! Dryer did not work right. Parking is tight but accommodates 1 medium size vehicle. Road leading to property is rough but our Citroen made it but not paved all the way. A/C is a mini-split in bedroom and efficiently cools room. Overall, property is comfortable but needs some much needed general upkeep & maintenance (some of the windows, dryer, Pool is not heated and more of a soaking pool and needs some resurfacing on bottom & the plants cut way back as view is blocked of Moorea mountains from pool. Host responded quickly to all questions.

Awesome views high up of the ocean and Moorea. The birds and the thick forest make for peaceful solitude. I can’t remember if the listing pointed out that there is AC only in the bedroom so be prepared for that if you are sensitive to heat and humidity. The house has an open floor plan otherwise, including an entire wall of sliding glass doors that make the patio feel like part of the house. It’s amazing! We pretty much just lived on the patio except for when the afternoon sun(the patio faces west ) was shining in.The kitchen is adequate, a nice king size bed and I really liked the bathroom set-up. Also who can resist a private pool?! I think there was a reviewer on here who said he was tricked by the listing and he only gave it one star but disregard him. Sure the doorway table is wobbly but who cares? Sure the oscillating fan is missing its cover. No big deal. It still works. I think the only downsides were that the wi-fi isn’t very strong. The other drawback is the road up to the house. It’s crazy steep, windy and in some sections very rough so be ready and the parking can be tight. The directions the owners give you are essential and really helped although the gas station is named Pacific not Polynesia. I would 100% stay here again. Felt like a private mini resort away from the noise and crowds of Papeete.

Check in was an easy process! The property owners are delightful and were able to answer all questions and give great recommendations for food and activities. The views were breathtaking! The bed was comfy. Overall we just had a perfect, relaxing time!

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.
