Villa vacation rentals in Cook Islands

This was a very nice place to stay, it’s near the beaches it’s quite and peaceful. We really enjoyed it. And the whole house has all the kitchen cutlery we could make any food. Enough space to keep stuff cold would recommend this place anytime. The beds are so comfortable we had a good rest at nights.

A Wonderful stay at the Rarotonga Villas in Nikao!! We had the villa on the far left end. Our hosts, Jo and Neville were absolutely the Best - helpful, friendly, super considerate to Mum's needs. The villa was comfortable and had a beautiful sea breeze coming through. The amenities are clean and modern. There is also a laundry facility available. Literally a few steps on to Nikao Beach - with beautiful sandy swimming spots. There is a 24hr mart a minute walk away. The bed layout can be altered to a two twin bed formation for convenience. A normal size fridge, stove top and fully-kitted out kitchen was a treat. There are outdoor benches, lounge chairs, bean bags for lounging. They also had kayaks - but swimming/snorkelling in the crystal clear lagoon was Sublime!! I would 💯 recommend for a stay - and would love to stay here again when we return to Raro 🤞🏾

We had the most wonderful time at Jacinda & Franz’s heavenly Air BnB in gorgeous Arorangi Beach. It was the absolutely perfect getaway for us and our 8 year old daughter. Comfortable, clean, and spacious accommodation with a private pool in the most beautiful spot, with the loveliest of hosts. Too many highlights to list, but watching the sun rise over the mountains from the deck as we ate our breakfast, and watching it set in the evenings while taking a dip in the sea on the private beach - alongside beautiful doggies Poppy and Caesar, were unforgettable. Thank you so much for making our holiday so memorable and perfect. We’re already planning our return trip!

The Villa was large, spacious, clean, and private. Overall, we were pleased that we booked it! Everything worked perfectly and the deck area was the highlight for us. We spent as much time as we could outdoors. Yes, there are roosters outside but they really weren’t that bad. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to ‘island’ noise. The rooms were comfy with lots of towels and bedding supplied. There is a washer but no dryer (line dry). The only suggestion I have already made was to have manuals or instructions about how to use the stove (turn the switch on at the wall first), and the washing machine. We are American so we are not familiar with the symbols on the microwave or washing machine detergent compartment. Haha. We kept bothering them with questions and photos but they were very reaponsive. We would stay there again and highly recommend their Villa to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway that is still close to many amenities and the beach.

After booking accommodation ,Dorisse made contact with me with a welcoming message and offered to give any recommendations / advice as it was our first time visiting the island. Dorisse greeted us at the airport to show us to our accommodation even though we had a hire car. We arrived very early in the morning and Dorisse very kindly had our accommodation ready to check in earlier. Dorisse was very responsive to all communications. Dorisse was lovely and friendly and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed having our own space on her property. We felt very much at home and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property to anybody

Another wonderful stay at Sands Villas, we’ve always come back to these homes, location is amazing, houses are always perfect for our family. We made great use of the snorkel and kayak gear, such a bonus to be able to go straight out from the houses and always plentiful fish and sights to see. Our hosts were also very helpful to increase our accommodation as more and more whānau wanted to join us, thank you for also being so flexible with our group of 9.

Great place to stay. Close enough to everything but private and spacious. Super comfy beds and great shower. Really relaxing place to stay. Totally recommend.

We have just returned from an 11 day stay at the Raro beach bach and we absolutely loved it! We travelled as a family group of 7 (4 adults, 1 teen and two kids 6 & 4) We stayed in the main house and 1 studio. Great location. So much better in person! We found the property provided all that we needed and was well stocked. Bbq worked well, the property has mobile fans throughout the rooms. It was clean and tidy and well presented. Kitchen is well stocked and everything worked well. The tv was a bonus to keep the kids busy while we planned our next activities and we could connect to Netflix, YouTube etc. The windows are covered by mosquito nets which was a relief. The out door seating area and table was a popular spot for us and we spent many late nights of laughter playing cards and yarning away while the kids slept. Beds were comfortable and rooms clean. Bathroom also clean. The outside area was clean and so beautiful, the views - amazing!!! We loved the beach! Yes rocky in spots but

We had the most amazing stay at Casa Del Sol. From the wonderful warm welcome from Joy and Arjay, who helped us in with luggage and showed us around the amazing villa's. The wonderful hosts and staff made our stay so amazing. The villa's are so private, calm and peaceful - it is a little slice of paradise on a magic island. The villa's are so well equipped, clean, and nestled in magic gardens. Nothing was a bother from the hosts - they gave us amazing notes about everything you could think of - including where to buy birthday cakes, where to dine and activities on the Island. We had an incredible stay at Casa Del Sol and hope that one day we will get to return. Thank you all for making our family holiday so special.

Greg's house is a great base to explore Rarotonga. It's comfortable, stylish and is right on the oceanfront. The location is not somewhere you can swim safely, although rockpools are interesting at low tide. The house has a lovely lap pool which is perfect for hot days and morning exercise. The roar of the waves is a constant backdrop, reminding you that you're in South Pacific paradise. The house is best suited to 2 couples with two large bedrooms, I feel, although our youngest son (18) was quite happy out in thel studio, but it is basic. We travelled with our two sons, and the flexibility that the house offered, rather than booking 2 rooms in a resort, was fantastic. Sitting on the deck at sunset, G & T in hand, was a daily highlight, such a privilege. The house is super quiet, in terms of any noise from neighbours, so very private and peaceful. The flat grassed garden to the side was great for our soccer-mad boys to kick a ball around for exercise. You absolutely need a car.

Our accomodation was was amazing! Phillip was a great communicator and his wife was lovely. The house was in a great location, private, large and beautiful. The house is surrounded by beautiful nature, fruit and flowers. the perfect place to relax and unwind, especially by the pool. Thank you so much for our stay, we loved it!

This private casita in the Cook Islands was everything I hoped for and more. Tucked away in a peaceful spot with beautiful ocean views, it felt like a little slice of paradise. Waking up and seeing the sea in the distance made every morning feel special. The casita was spotless, everything looked new, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—but the highlight was definitely the mattress. It was amazing. Honestly one of the best sleeps I’ve ever had—so soft, supportive, and perfect after a day of exploring the island. A huge thank you to Ira, the host, who was so kind and helpful throughout my stay. From thoughtful local tips to making sure I had everything I needed, Ira really went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a peaceful, private, and truly relaxing stay in the Cook Islands, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back!

Omg! This place was absolute magic! I 🥰 I knew when I wanted to book somewhere for my 30th I wanted something exactly like this villa. It exceeded my expectations and more. Waking up to the most beautiful views everyday, to having easy access to the beach, kayaks, swim equipment etc. Having the most beautiful, friendly cleaners that greeted us everyday with a smile and always checking into see if we needed anything. Kiana pureau was the one who checked us in and she was just a beautiful soul, very helpful & gave us some experiences to try which we did & loved! Theirs nothing I can complain about, everything from check in to check out was a breeze! The villa made our whole holiday even more special & we will definitely be back again. 1000/1000 recommend this place!❤️

We absolutely loved John and Ann’s home. It was beautiful. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was right on the beach, near grocery stores, restaurants and hikes. We had gorgeous weather which was the icing on the cake. Chantal greeted us as John’s concierge. Her friendly island flair made us feel right at home. We got in late at night and there were snacks and drinks waiting for us in the fridge. She gave us a run down on places to eat and activities to consider. The lagoon was excellent for paddle boarding and snorkeling. We had an amazing time. Thank you!!

We loved Te-Manava so much, we will be coming back. The staff were excellent, was like a hotel. Vitiama was also so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. From booking tours, organising a taxi or dinner reservation, she was onto it immediately. Highly recommend this property.

We had a fabulous stay near Muri lagoon, things were walking distance if you love walking, it’s about a 30 minute walk to Muri. We hired scooters which make the whole island accessible! It was great having our own pool but it wasn’t till close to our holiday that I found out another family would be staying in the other house across from the pool. After a few loud nights they ended up being good but kind of defeated the purpose of doing air BnB. It’s my favourite island in the whole world!! From the snorkelling, reef life, turtles, the ability to have lunch or dinner at any resort along with so many restaurants around the island to choose from, I can’t fault it!! We want to keep it a secret island to ourselves but the people need more tourists to come & support this amazing island. Hands down the best island in the pacific 🏝️ Can’t wait to come back & maybe try out another one of Shona’s homes ☺️

My husband and I stayed at Malina’s air BnB on our Honeymoon and could not have asked for a better place to stay! We booked our stay here very last minute due to our original accommodation falling through, Malina was so accommodating to our situation and totally put my mind at ease. Our whole stay at the air BnB was exactly what we were after, it was quiet, private and had everything we could possibly need (the beautiful pool was definitely a highlight!). We are forever grateful to Malina for making our honeymoon as perfect as we could have hoped. We will definitely be back and could not recommend this stay more to other people considering it!!

Stunning home for our small family. Location was private and had a wonderful pool for us to cool down in. Loved how nice and modern it was & the outdoor bath was an icing on top for the kids

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.

Our host was super communicative and kind! Villa was beautiful and had everything we needed. Had an issue with Aircon at first but Di, allowed us to switch villas and had no problems there after! Lovely stay here.

Great home, close to airport. We hired a scooter, which was great. I wouldn't walk down the long driveway at night, just because of the dogs, they can get territorial. However, that being said, if you are on a bike, scooter, or car, you will be fine. It is a seldom occurrence in our experience. The host was amazing, she really went above and beyond. The pool is inviting, the home is spotless. Aircon in bedrooms is great. The fully fenced home is very private. This home, and the host Anita deserve 5 stars, we recommend this place to other guests.

We had such a wonderful stay at Felicia’s Airbnb! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Felicia was welcoming and responsive host, helpful, and always quick to answer any questions we had. The location was perfect peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to everything we needed. Meitaki,

Marion was the best host! Clear comms the whole way through and always responsive. Beautiful house in a prime inland location. Amazing views and only a few minutes to town and the amazing bars/ eateries. Beds are comfy, aircon was a blessing on some nights however the ceiling fans are normally all we needed. Loved the laundry and bathroom facilities. Huge deck, lots of outdoor furniture and good sized pool. We absolutely loved our stay here. Thank you so much Marion.

We enjoyed our stay here. Made use of the bikes and kayaks. Lots of towels provided and we spent most of our time in the pool or the lagoon. Very relaxing and although local shops, market and bakery were walkable we found having rental car really worthwhile. Scott was around every morning and Rose responded quickly to any inquiry. Thanks team!
