Fantastic view
We were very pleased when Stefani with Omni Villas called at lunchtime to let us know the rental would be ready early. We had a bit of trouble finding the place-as it is tucked in a stretch of white fencing along the road, it not obvious until you pass directly in front which we did and after turning around we pulled in to meet Stefani. The cottage is located in a quiet coastal neighborhood and offers seclusion, plus spectacular views to the lagoon and to the island of Tahiti in the distance. Stefani showed us the cottage and explained how everything worked. We were both very disappointed with the rental as it was rather cramped and had no place to sore our suitcases in the small bedroom (about 14 feet x 14 feet)--the only room in the house that is air-conditioned. The second "bedroom" was a separate living space with a washing machine and a sleeper sofa; not particularly inviting especially without AC considering the warm weather. It was essentially a useless room to us. The cottage was more weathered than in the rental publicity, the kitchen table was very wobbly due to the rust. It was also very annoying dealing with the bedroom Air-conditioner being linked to contacts on the two bedroom doors so that whenever one left the bedroom to go to the outside (kitchen, bathroom sinks or shower), the AC turned itself off. Overall, we felt that cottage did not live up to the publicity and did not justify the 400 nightly price.
