French Polynesia oceanfront rentals

We had a wonderful stay at Jaques place. The apartment is very spacious with a kitchen and everything we needed. We mostly loved the view from the apartment and our kids loved the black sand at the beach at the front. As we arrived late, it was very convenient that there is a restaurant at the bottom of the complex, so we didn't need to go grocery shopping straight away. There was also a show on at 7.30pm on Thursdays and live music on the weekend. The big Carrefour is only about 7min by car away which was handy as going out can be quite costly in French Polynesia. Jaques met us at the apartment and showed us around and was very helpful with great tips. We highly recommend staying here.

Amazing place to stay. We were a family of 5 and there was plenty of space to sleep. Firstly, Aiden and Monique were so helpful in checking us in and assisting us with local knowledge and contacts and making sure we were comfortable during our stay (thanks so much guys). The house has the ambience of a family home, not a hotel, which we found really nice. We spent a lot of time sitting on the jetty watching the fish, sharks and rays go by. The bay is very safe for swimming, our kids were snorkelling and kayaking every day. Also great just to watch the goings on of the locals as they head off to collect tourists for the lagoon tours. Logistically, there are key amenities close by. There is a small supermarket 200m to the north stocked with fresh baguettes each morning and a small range of groceries and alcohol, 200m to the south is a fuel station which stocks fresh baguettes and pastries and snack food. 1.2 km away, is a larger supermarket with a good range of all you need. The house has supplied bikes (and two tricycles) which are great for the shopping ride. Directly across the road is a fantastic restaurant (Kaylakea Moz Food). The food is really great and does takeaways. Allo Pizza is a 5 minute ride to the north where you can also bring pizza back to the house, or dine in. 1200m to the north is also the new Cooks Bay Hotel for happy hour and a meal. Only negatives are traffic noise in the morning. Thanks for a great stay!
