Fantastic stay! Superbe séjour!

Everything was perfect! The house was perfectly located at walking distance to shops and bar/restaurants. Ideal spot to visit Moorea The house was really comfortable and having a beach as a backyard was just amazing. When the water was calm it was just an open aquarium: We saw so many beautiful fish and even baby sharks just walking in the water in front of the house On top of that, Bianca (host) was so nice and helpful during the whole stay. I cannot recommend more this house! Thank you again Bianca and Jay. Can't wait to be back in Moorea

A great location for a stay in Moorea

This beachfront house is ideally located for a vacation in Moorea. You are within walking distance of a grocery store, multiple shops, restaurants and cafes. You're within 15 minutes drive of some of the best and most popular beaches on the island. It's a very safe location with off street parking. The house itself has two bedrooms one with two large beds the other with one large bed each with its own bath. The central area between the two rooms has your kitchen, living room and dining area with a large flat screen TV. There's good internet access throughout the house. There's a large covered porch where you can sit and enjoy the view. Only the two bedrooms are air conditioned which is typical in this region. There's a washer dryer on site. There is a dock that you can walk out onto and then get right into the water for snorkeling or swimming. The area directly in front of the house provides a great area for snorkeling. There are abundant small fish in this area and occasionally a turtle or a Stingray or a small reef shark. The swimming and snorkeling here is just as good overall is any other Beach on the island. Like many places the coral has been damaged so you're only going to see scattered pieces of recovering Coral here and there. It's mainly about the fish. There's a stand-up paddle board and two kayaks and also a supply of fins and masks. The house is well provisioned. The staff support is outstanding they are available on site most days should you have any questions.

Best Location, Best Honeymoon

My wife and I stayed here after staying at another house on a different part of the island. This location was the best with lots of restaurants, the reef, and things to do. Not to mention, the host Bianca greeted us with a lei on our pillow to celebrate our honeymoon. We used the paddle board, kayak, and much more during our stay. You’ll feel the soft sand on your toes, the warm water, and watch incredible sunsets at the end of the dock each night here at the house. We were thrilled by our stay and would recommend this house to anyone who is looking to come to Moorea. We will be back and will stay here again! Thank you, Bianca and thank you to Jay, too for the hospitality. You made our trip so special.

Wonderful beachfront home in paradise

We had a fantastic stay. This home is right on the beach, and conveniently located to restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Bianca was a wonderful host, the home was clean, well stocked, and quiet. The sunsets were just incredible. There is a lot of sea life to view if you enjoy snorkeling. We would definitely stay here again.

An amazing property.

We loved this house so much. It is exactly as you would want a Polynesian home on the sand to be. Coffee in the sand in the morning, wine and sunsets on the end of the dock in the evening. The snorkeling in the water our front was the best we found on Mo’orea anywhere. The dolphins, turtles, Black Tip Reef Sharks, and rays were in abundance. The added bonus was Jay, the owner. He is the originator or the over the water bungalow, and since he lives only steps away, we got to enjoy his stories and chat with him daily. Thank you for an amazing trip!
