Waterfront vacation rentals in French Polynesia

Clean apartment, nice pool, helpful host! Thanks!

Very clean, modern, and convenient place to stay in Papeete. Kim's apartment felt relaxing, and we appreciated the proximity to the ferry terminal. It's also the perfect location for cultural events taking place directly across the street. Kim was a wonderful host - responsive, helpful with extra information about taxis, and even texting us when the apartment was ready, knowing we had just arrived at the port. All of these gestures were very kind and caring. Recommended!

We had an amazing experience staying at Serge's bungalow. From the moment we booked the trip, Serge's communication was excellent and he responded quickly to all our questions and requests. Special thanks to his son, David, who gave us an unforgettable adventure through the beautiful waters of Bora Bora. David made our dream come true taking us swimming with the black tip sharks and manta rays along with the beautiful diversity of aquatic life in Bora's waters. David's knowledge of Bora Bora is awesome and we highly recommend the boat tour with him for a memorable experience. Both Serge and David have fun recommendations for exploring the island while offering use any of their vehicles available. We are grateful for all their attention, arranging our ride to/from the ferry/airport so easy, and help in making our trip to Bora Bora so delightful. We would definitely visit again. Mauruuru and Ia Orana.

The settings and the grounds where very peaceful and charming. The staff were very friendly and owner was very hospitable. Kayaks and snorkeling equipment were available. The breakfast was great and more than enough for us. The location was very nice, and having the grocery store right next door was a lot of help. My daughter really liked the friendly dog on the premise and she would like to visit again. I would highly recommend the place.

Wow, ten stars! This condo in Tahiti delivered an absolutely stunning and unbeatable experience. The unit feels brand new, and the entire property, from our unit to the complex grounds, were immaculately clean. We loved the peaceful, neutral design, which provided the perfect backdrop to the vibrant greenery of the tropical garden and the beautiful blues of the infinity pool and private beach. The ocean views from the beach of Moorea were simply heavenly. Magdalena was an incredible host, warmly greeting us in person and showing us all the ropes. She was always on hand to help and gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations. We truly cannot recommend this place enough; it was a wonderful and memorable stay, thank you!!

This is the place you wanna book when you visit Tahiti. Very peaceful place, beach is very close by and not crowded at all. Very close to stores and other restaurants. Romaine was an amazing host always responsive and flexible with check in options. Definitely recommend over a resort!

We had a wonderful 18 hour overnight layover and couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. The host was responsive and helpful from the start making the autonomous check in seamless. The apartment was perfect for us-clean, comfortable and close to the airport. We rented a car to drive to the waterfalls which was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the waves. The black sand beach was a unique sight. Highly recommend for a peaceful stay!

Beautiful spot and couple. Had an insane sunset over Bora Bora. Cute kittens, great recommendations for snorkeling and the bike was a great value. Thank you for your patience as I worked hard in business negotiations while staying.

We loved our stay! The pool was wonderful. The snorkeling was amazing and literally out the back door. Our 6 and 8 year olds were able to enjoy chasing fish and playing with crabs in the shallows. There are markers out in the coral reef indicating the coral trail. This is some of the biggest and most elaborate coral I have ever seen. We saw giant sea anemones, I’ve never seen anything like it! The paddle board was nice to take out snorkeling with kids so they had a place to rest if needed. Most of the property has been remodeled and is very modern, the exception being the powder room. The kitchen opens to the back area with barstools at the counter, we ate here most of the time. The doors open in front and back letting a nice breeze blow through. Be prepared for mosquitos because, remember where you are. Amazing fenced in outdoor space for kids to roam and mango tree in the front. Henri accommodated our early arrival. Some noise from public park next door, not bad.

Best host and stay I’ve had on Airbnb. Friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to accommodate us. I would stay at this place again for sure.

Loved the view of the bay. Felt very relaxing.

We were welcomed by Martine who is very friendly. The accommodation is nice, with a nice garden!

we really enjoyed our 3 days in Raiatea in this beautiful and pleasant house near Uturoa. The living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms are large and very clean. We were hosted very well and enjoyed the room and living room opening wide onto the terrace overlooking Bora Bora and the sunset! Vairau and Raimana are very friendly and considerate. Their advice was very useful (car rental, restaurants, snorkeling...). An important asset: the lagoon just 5 meters across the road where you can admire beautiful corals and fish! Kayaks are available to go to the motu almost opposite. In short, a wonderful experience that we enthusiastically recommend!

Rangiroa is certainly more rustic and basic than other places in Polynesia but that's also part of the charm. George's place is no exception but it was certainly well equipped and full of welcome. There were only two of us so aircon only in one room wasn't an issue. We cooked for ourselves most of the time and could find enough in the local shops to make that work. We did eat out once and it was good to support and connect with the local community but don't expect fine dining 🤣 George communicated with us frequently with helpful tips and we never felt alone at all. We spent a lot of time enjoying the sun and water at the property. Sharks frequently swam by and we did try a bit of kayaking and snorkelling but there wasn't a huge amount to see, even when the waves were more calm. We equally enjoyed the night sky after returnung from watching the sunset at the pass down the road. We certainly feel we hit lucky with this place and would definitely recommend it.

Our stay on Raiatea was incredible. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning sunsets and peaceful sunrises you can enjoy right from bed. Having kayaks and life jackets available made it easy to snorkel and explore the ocean at our own pace. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with everything we needed, and the space was thoughtfully prepared in every way. AC and fan, plus screened windows to keep the bugs out, kept us very comfortable and cool. Mick was a friendly and welcoming host. We had a great conversation while watching the sunset, which made the experience feel even more special. While there’s a lot to do on the island, we found ourselves just loving the quiet moments and the stunning views. When the weather wasn’t ideal, we appreciated being able to use Mick’s pool. This is the kind of place that reminds you what Airbnb is all about. Hands down, the best and most memorable (in the best way) stay we’ve had. We hope

Absolutely the best place to stay right on the water!!

Wow A recommender a 200%

Moana is one of the best hosts and guides of the area I felt safe. The apartment was extremely very well located in the heart of everything that you would want to do as a tourist and getting around lots of shops. The ferries are right across the street, restaurants right beneath the condo and across the street superb restaurants just a great area all the way around the apartment is greatly furnished and Moana is a really hands-on host

Gaëlle makes everything super easy! Absolutely a superior host. Apartment is very nice and well cared for. Will definitely stay in her properties again.

Gaelle is an incredible Airbnb Host. She was very welcoming, kind, and patient with me. She helped me with transportation to the Airbnb from Puna'auia. She even assisted me with car rental services which came in quite helpful. The apartment had all the amenities listed which made my stay very pleasant. The location was close to everything I needed for this trip and with the place being close to Paofai Gardens, it was perfect. Even the Papeete Ferry Terminal was close which made a day trip to Mo'orea easy. Mauruuru roa Gaelle for a wonderful stay!

It's very clean and modern. The view and pool are highlights. It's in a gated community up on a hill, so it's quiet with no street noise. We had our two year old son with us and he loved the pool and the balcony.

The view from the balcony was simply breathtaking — every morning began with the sight of rolling waves and the soothing sound of the ocean, which we could hear even with the glass doors closed. Falling asleep to the peaceful rhythm of the waves was pure bliss. Each day brought something special: in the mornings, we’d watch local fishermen bringing in their catch, and by afternoon, local surfers would take on the waves right in front of us. It was like having a little slice of coastal life right outside our door. The apartment itself had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The water pressure in the shower was excellent — one of the best we’ve experienced — and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway. We would return in a heartbeat!

Pleasant overnight stay in this very nice apartment, elegantly furnished and decorated. Very easy access and excellent communication for check-in and checkout. A big thank you.

Jeannot is truly a super host. Superb communication. Excellent instructions. Thoughtful. Phenomenal location and view. Great value.
