We had a great time in the two weeks we spent there. The host was so gracious and shared some culinary dishes, lovely fresh flowers and a smile every time we saw her. Great location, close to a beautiful beach. Listening to the crashing of the waves while relaxing on a beach chair was a perfect way to spend time. Would definitely visit again!

Just a cozy and thoughtful beautiful home right on the beach! We loved all the little touches, I can tell that the owners truly care and want their guests to feel at home. Fully equipped kitchen with cooking oils and seasoning, fresh fruit on arrival. The house is very close to one of the best beaches on the island, but hard to walk over bc of all the rocks and shells. The road is a bit rocky and can be driven through slowly to the Main Street, but plan for about 10 mins. I still highly recommend this place, truly a magical oasis and one of the highlights of our trip.

This property is a true gem. It was so peaceful and to be honest we enjoyed staying here even more than the overwater bungalow that we stayed in. The owner is so sweet and friendly. It feels very private. It was very clean. The surf breaks right outside the back door so if the conditions are right, you'll get to see surfers riding the waves from the back porch. Everything about this place was wonderful. If we ever go back to Moorea we will 100% book our entire stay here.

This beach cottage was very thoughtfully decorated, well appointed, very clean & had a beautiful ocean view with plenty of breezes so we didn’t have to use the AC. The beach directly in front of our cottage was not a swimming beach, but one of the best swimming beaches on the island was a short walk away. Our host was amazing. She was very generous with letting us check in early & depart late. A fruit plate, water, juice & starter items were provided upon arrival. Prior to check out she gave us gifts. She was just the sweetest. We highly recommend this property.

Just as advertised! We loved it!

We loved this property and spent 10 days here! It was everything the description said it was and more! The surf is right at your door and you are right around the corner from Temae beach, which is one of the best in the area. We saw whales almost daily and the host, Hinarii could not have been more gracious or attentive. We loved the privacy and will rent again if we returm to Moorea.

Artistic bungalow in beautiful location

This location was perfect for us, an adult couple. The sea is just steps away from the private garden and provides a fantastic setting. It is a bit rough directly outside but there is a calm beach just a short walk away. The bungalow is beautiful and comfortable with many artistic touches. We would come back.

What a wonderful location and property. The listing and images are 100% accurate. The beach is literally a few feet away from the porch from where you can enjoy your morning coffee and look at the sunrise. The property has a very well equipped kitchen, bathroom and washing machine is a real bonus. Host, Hinarii, provided timely responses to any questions asked and made sure we were comfortable upon check-in. Thanks Hinarii! We couldn't recommend this property more.

Adorable accommodation steps from the ocean

My husband and I had the fortune to spend 3 nights at this property. We had no difficulty finding the property using Google Maps. We had a car so we picked up some groceries to keep food costs down. The kitchen had everything we needed. We packed a picnic lunch and ate at the beach one day. We also spent alot of time sitting on the back porch just staring at the beautiful waves crashing on the shore. This spot is wonderful!

Delightful seaside bungalow

With its spectacular location, artistic interior design, and wonderful hostess Hinarii, this is a truly special and unique place to stay. The property description and photos are 100% accurate. Even so, we found the actual experience of staying here far exceeded our expectations. The bungalow has everything you need with a large comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and washing machine. The location makes an ideal base to explore Moorea by car, and one of the best swimming and snorkeling beaches on the island is within walking distance. Hinarii is a warm and gracious hostess and we appreciated her regular, in-person check-ins with us. We highly recommend this vacation property.

Right on the beach. Beautiful sunrise every morning. Clean and comfortable. Don't worry about noise from the airport nearby. The sound of the waves is all you hear. Hinarii was a wonderful host. The pictures of the property don't lie. It is a wonderful place. Getting there the first time was an adventure, but worth it. This was a vacation of a lifetime for us and Hinarii's Bungalow was just as we dreamed it would be.

Serenity on the Ocean

Delightfully rustic, and so relaxing. Well equipped. It was such a treat to hear the sound of ocean waves 24/7. It’s close enough to walk to the best snorkeling beach. We spent some long mornings having coffee and breakfast on the deck and loved having our own little sandy elevated backyard looking out over the ocean, just 20 ft away. Hinari was very responsive to any questions, and was a lovely host. We did have a rental car, which is needed to drive to restaurants, etc. which is why I rated the location a 4.

Beautiful bungalow by the sea !

We had a very nice stay at Hinarii's bungalow she was a great hostess. Great location right on the beach equipped with everything you need. The road is a little bumpy getting in an the beach that runs in front of her property is made up mostly of coral pieces so not the easiest to walk on. To make up for that the public beach Temae is very close by, walk-able an has excellent snorkeling not far from the shore, about where the Sofitel property starts. We had a rental car an would advise others to get one, the grocery is close by an not far from ferry terminal. We would happily return an hope to someday !!

Had a great stay at the beach bungalow near Tenae beach in Moorea. The bungalow was indeed right on the beach with the sight and sounds of crashing waves as advertised. It was lovingly and creatively decorated and appointed with the conveniences you would expect to have. The owner, Hinarii was very polite and nearby, but the bungalow was completely private. Yes the road to the to the property was a bit challenging but our small Hyundai rental handled it fine. It is worth noting the main roads in Moorea are good but most adjoining roads are mostly dirt and minimally maintained. Moorea is a beautiful island is well worth the long flight. The lagoons and mountains are truly spectacular and people of French Polynesia are very patient and welcoming.

Delightful Bungalow By The Sea

Wonderful bungalow 10 sandy steps to the sea. If we lived full time on Moorea, we would live here. The bungalow feels like your own private retreat with everything you would have if it was your own! Beautiful sunrise over the ocean. Tinkling lights at night from Tahiti in the distance. Grilling off the lanai & dining under “the shack”. Stepping up to the “treehouse” platform. Everything you need is supplied for you to prepare any meal. Everything working as it should. A/C in bedroom, comfortable bed, Netflix & YouTube. Unobtrusive owner/contact but replied within minutes every time. We would 100% stay here again! Maururu And Mahalo Hinarii!
