These guests were wonderful to host. They were kind, quiet, very respectful of our home, and left everything exceptionally clean and well cared for. It was truly a pleasure having them stay with us.
We are grateful they chose to spend their time in Tahiti with us and are so happy they enjoyed their visit. They are welcome back anytime!
The property was beautifully presented, clean, welcoming and our needs had been anticipated with welcome leis, fruit and juice in the fridge. Plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, pans, plate and silverware and the caregivers assisted us with navigation to the property.

Mauruuru roa and warmest regards,

Emily was great -- her communication was very prompt and clear. The property was fantastic too, in a great location with all the amenities listed: oceanfront property with air conditioning, washer, and a dryer. Also, the kitchenware was impressively complete. This was the first time a vacation rental included plastic containers for leftovers after we cooked a meal. Perfect!The check-in process was probably the best I've ever had with any vacation rental. We were met by the caretakers who live on site. They walked through the property with us to make sure we knew where everything was, including temperature controls for the air conditioning, how to operate the gas stove, etc.Truly a superlative host and property.

Ia ora na!
Mauru’uru roa for your kind message. We truly enjoyed hosting your beautiful family. You were so respectful, thoughtful, and a pleasure to have at the home. The house was left spotless, and we really appreciated your kindness throughout your stay.
Fabi was also very happy to meet you all! Thanks to your son, communication was easy and seamless in both Tahitian and French, which made everything even more special. 🌺
We were absolutely delighted to host you and sincerely hope to welcome you back again one day to Fare Rui’hau.
Mauru’uru roa & warmest regards,
Emily
Emily was the ultimate hostess! We wanted for nothing and her place is magical! I’m referring g peopleTo stay there as we speak! We will be back!!MahaloNui loa Emily!
Our hosts were so gracious and greeted us with flower lei. They showed us how to access the property and gave us a tour. The house was well appointed with all types of cooking utensils and dishes, plus a huge pantry full of spices. The house was clean and beautifully furnished. If you are looking for a wonderful ocean-front home in Tahiti, this is it! You can swim from the beach fronting the house all the way out to the outer barrier reef. The listing says it has one bathroom, but it actually had two full bathrooms. One bathroom is brand new and located steps from the house. It clean and spacious. The guys all chose to use this bathroom and the girls used the one inside the house. It was a perfect set up.

Bonnie and her party were a pleasure to host. They were kind, respectful of the home, and easy to communicate with throughout their stay. We would happily welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to other hosts.
Une super expérience dans un super logement. Dès l'accueil par Tamara et Puni tout a été parfait. Des fleurs de tiaré, un logement très propre et équipé idéalement, des chambres confortable avec climatisation et un extérieur tres agréable pour profiter. Le top l'accès direct à la plage et la vue sur Moorea. Rien de négatif

About the host
Hosted by Emily
Born in Hawaii and raised in both Hawaii and Tahiti, I am deeply connected to the beauty and culture of both islands. With a Tahitian mother and an American father, Tahiti is my second home, and I’m excited to share it with you through our vacation rental. Come experience the magic of Tahiti, where tradition meets paradise, and make memories in a place close to my heart.
Why they chose this property
I chose Puna'auia for our vacation rental because of its rich history and stunning location. My property was once part of the iconic Hotel Tahiti Village, and when my father sold the hotel, he graciously gifted me this special piece of land, which includes 3 homes and 5 bungalows. What makes this place truly unique is its location on a beautiful white sand beach, with a stunning lagoon – a rarity on Tahiti, where most beaches are known for their black sand. It's a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and tranquility.
What makes this property unique
Fare Rui'hau is one of eight homes in Tahiti Village, a private beachfront villa spanning 2.2 acres in Punaauia, Tahiti (PK 15). Nestled on a pristine white sand beach, this serene retreat offers great snorkeling, breathtaking lagoon views, and stunning sunsets over Moorea. Enjoy peace and tranquility in a truly idyllic setting.
Guests have full access to the entire vacation home, the beach, and the ocean, so you can relax and enjoy everything the property has to offer.
For added convenience, we offer free parking in a private garage and a secured front gate for enhanced security and privacy.
