Beachfront vacation rentals in Cook Islands

Great stay for our family with little kids. The house was just as described in the listing. The beach out front was quiet and shallow for the kids to swim, kayak and snorkel. The pool was a very nice bonus, being fully fenced meant we could relax without having to worry about the kids. The air-con's all worked well and the kitchen was very well stocked. A great stay, with good communication from Mark.

Excellent stay. Made sure I felt welcomed even when my flight arrived very late at night. I will definitely be returning!

Julie and I would like to thank Lotu from the moment I booked the communication was first rate . The property was perfect for the two of us and was exactly as described and only had to walk out the back door to be on the Lagoon The fruit basket coffee tea even milk in the fridge was appreciated Also a big thankyou to Sala who called in regularly to see if we needed anything We couldnt have been any happier and didnt want to leave after our 4 week stay Once again Thankyou. Meitaki Maata We will be back and would love to stay here again

Jaewynn was very welcoming and had put extra touches like milk in the fridge and some flowers. She was very helpful and when we had a hot water issue she dealt with it straight away. The house is very private, with its own parking space and lovey little garden. It is in a great spot close to the main town and the airport and lots of places to eat. We had a lovely week staying there.

Anchor sands is a hidden gem of the cook islands, we are so glad we choose this Airbnb instead of a resort. We have 2 teenagers 14 & 16 and this place was perfect for us, kids could sleep in their own rooms with out being woken up by other guests. We were able to connect to the TV and stream Netflix and Prime. But best of all was the location, the best snorkelling and fish - straight in front of the house. We would see the tour boats anchor out the front each (far out, not close to the shore), so that tells you its a good spot for snorkelling. But best of all was the view from the deck, we sat their for hours each morning having coffee, relaxing and reading books. Its close to shops, not to far from town (25mins), Go Local turtle tours is just down the Road, Same with Wigmores (who do the best ice creams), and some great restaurants too, like Charlies, Vaima on the Beach, Little Polynesia. We feel staying here made our holiday, it is an exceptional property and location. Thank you!!!

Mark was great! Any issues we had, he was very helpful. Location made it accessible to muri and heaps of other beautiful beach spots and local supermarkets!

We had the most magical stay. Robbie and Suzanne and Robbie Junior were so warm friendly and grounded souls. The house was incredible amazing location and we felt so held and cared for in a very special place

Sunset Quay is a perfect place to rejuvenate, relax or a perfect location for adventure. We had a group of 8 adults- 3 couples and 2 singles and had more than ample space for everyone to get some privacy and the common areas made it perfect to gather, play games and talk story.. the pool was beautiful, clean and refreshing. We ventured to Muri a couple of times and we're SO happy we chose this location instead. Murray had more mosquitoes, snorkeling was not as good and there is no sunset on that side of the island. walk down the beach a short ways to restaurants, a beach bar and more stunning beaches. all in all, one of our best group trip locations ever! Mahalo nui loa, Lara!

A beautiful spot right on the beach at Muri. It’s a great option for 2 people. The villa is about the size of a good hotel room with a modest kitchen. All of the Muri restaurants are a few mins walk away. We swam in the lagoon mostly as the water was so warm. Joy is a real people person - very helpful and genuine.

Absolutely lovely. The two totally private, walled in garden areas were a highlight. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. Rick, the owner, was delightful. Definitely hope to come back soon.

Loved our stay at The Heritage. We were two couples and with an ensuite each, the house was perfectly set up. Private access to the beach, and yet screened from passers-by through the beautiful garden. Picture perfect sunsets. The lagoon is quite shallow at this point, even at high tide it isn't great for ocean swimming, but great for snorkelling and would be good for young kids to paddle in. The benefit is you can walk all the way to the reef at low tide, which was a great way to view starfish and other sea creatures. Quiet part of the island, Muri would be the best place if someone is looking for action, but it suited us fine. There are a few beach bars and restaurants in walking distance, recommend the Waterline Bar. There's a bus stop right at the driveway and the main town of Avarua is only 15min by bus. The whole island is easily accessible by the bus system. Eddie was a great host, very responsive and direct communication. Couldn't fault the house, the host nor the destination.

Tuaine was incredibly friendly and helpful. Home had everything needed for our family vacation and the location was amazing and as described. Happy to recommend this villa - beautiful setting with just a few steps from the deck to lagoon paradise! Wonderful holiday.

My wife & I stayed at Joy & John's wonderful beachfront villa for 12 days and it was pure bliss from start to finish. Joy is an absolute dream host and such a lovely person and even organised transfers to and from the airport for us. She even drove us to the other side of the island one night which is no big deal but she didn't have to! The villa is very spacious, clean, airy, fully equipped with all you could possibly need, a view to die for and only a handful of steps to the beach/lagoon. The kayaks and snorkelling equipment were well used and a great bonus. Only a two minute walk from a great little coffee stand (almost daily visit!) and close to many great eateries including the night market for some incredible food. Regularly walked along the beach to many of the nearby hotels and bars on the beach. Couldn't possibly have asked for anything more from this villa, absolute perfection and it made my 50th birthday all the more special. Thank you Joy & John

Minar and Louis made us feel very welcome. The home has a beautiful outdoor area overlooking the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked, lounge area comfortable. Close enough to town and restaurants. For our group of six it was a perfect stay.

We loved our stay! We arrived late at night and it was so nice to wake up and find a few supplies in the fridge. The place is lovely and clean, in a great location and has everything we could have wanted for far better value than a resort stay so would recommend to everyone

'Right on the beach' is exactly accurate - secluded and private enough behind some trees/shade with direct access to the sand and sea, but just down a bit from the hustle and bustle of Muri's denser part, so a perfect spot for swimming, lounging, walking or getting to amenities, but away from the noise and foot traffic. The place is basic with enough of what is needed to self-cater and it's airy enough without AC (fans are efficient). Value for money!

We felt relaxed the moment we arrived! The view is spectacular, having our ‘own’ beach amazing & the snorkelling on our doorstep fabulous. The house is well set up, there are lots of places to stock up nearby, plus loads of eating out options close. We did most of our living outside because the view really is unbeatable. The house is simple but had everything we needed.

I booked this property for my dad & his two friends to celebrate his retirement. They intended to go to Rarotonga to relax, snorkel, do some fishing & sightseeing around the island. His words “My review of Puretu's Beachfront House 4- a truly idyllic setting. Any closer and you would be in the water. Central to all things Rarotongan. Charlies is walking distance Muri market 2 mins and the best snorkeling is off the deck. Comfortable practical house has all the basics. We'll be back Elizabeth thankyou so much🎣🏌️‍♀️🍻”

Had a great time - Mathilda and Angela were wonderful hosts, very helpful, and I felt did everything they could to make our time enjoyable. For example we enjoyed a really lovely shared kai after our fishing trip... a special meal and Mathilda makes awesome sashimi (and sauce)!

Great stay in a beautiful place. Great communications form our host and we loved everything about our stay. Felt at home straight away, right in the beach and close to the main town.

From the moment we booked—just 15 hours before arriving in Rarotonga from the U.S.—Janna went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. She was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions quickly and ensuring everything was seamless. Her Airbnb was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even stocked with thoughtful breakfast items—such a kind and welcoming touch! Beyond the wonderful accommodations, Janna’s hospitality was unmatched. She shared fantastic local recommendations that made our trip even more memorable and even helped us arrange a day tour, which ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and thoughtful host, Janna is the best. We can't recommend her Airbnb highly enough and would love to return!

We had a great time at Sane and Joseph’s place. The highlight was the beachfront location with the ability to snorkel off the beach. The hosts were very helpful and accomodating, providing a cot and high chair for our baby. There were a few ants around and we weren’t able to leave the doors open due to mosquitos, but these were minor. Overall would highly recommend.

SBYT's is like a home away from home . Located in such a beautiful spot on the island, and the facilities made our stay so comfortable! A great place to spend our first week holidaying in Rarotonga!
