Awesome house, setting and location

Had an amazing time, the house was perfect and had everything we needed plus more. Couldn't have suited us better. House has a beautiful view of the white sand and reef, private picnic table on the beach, nicely set back from the main road so it feel like you're in your own piece of paradise!

Response from VrboOwner on 30 November 2025
This is a scam review written by a person that did not even stay at the property. The name being used here for this review is not that of the people that actually stayed at the property. It appears that "Christina P" scammed me and falsely sublet the property. She has been busted for her deceit.

What a wonderful, beautiful place to stay.The home was more than we expected, the cleanliness was 110%, the view, stunning! Snorkling out the front of the house was amzing with all the sealife and beautiful fish. Watching the sunsets fron the deck were breath taking. The cats Leo and Stewie, super cute and friendly.

It was wonderful to walk straight from the house onto the beach.The large deck at the rear of the house was an amazing spot to enjoy the views of the lagoon, ocean and sunsets, and we loved Leo, the friendly cat.Terry was fantastic to deal with, communication was awesome, and he provided some very useful information for the house and our stay in Rarotonga. Would definitely stay again.Twery

Fantastic location!

Only meters to the Beach! The family loved staying at the house, swam every day as the beach is right there. House suitable for a family or adult group if you want to hang out at the beach and be close to your accom. Great value for money being this close to the beach. House is a little dated but was clean and suited our family group. Terry was great to deal with and prompt with communications, the property manager popped in to say hi, no problems with our stay.

Stay in paradise

This was a 50th wedding gift to ourselves. Took our daughter and 2 children 7 and 9 with us. The beach in front was wide and the sea 'pool' perfect for snorkeling and swimming. It was within walking distance to many restaurants, dairies and the great marine information center next door. Children loved it. Being on the west coast was sheltered from wind.The house had everything needed, plenty of towels and bedding. Kimmi was a great welcome hostess . Thank you for making our dreams come true.

picture perfect getaway

My friends and I stayed at Niki's Beach House for a week and it was fabulous. Large 3 bedroom home with everything you could possibly need. Well located on sunset side of the island, we spent hours just sitting on the deck watching whales on their migration go passed within 100m of the beach , incredible. Private and generally quiet. Shallow swimming out the front with an rea cleared from rocks to sit in. An easy walk to Castaway resort and beach bar. Highly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Terry Snutch

Host profile image

Professionals living in Vancouver, B.C. for past ~30 years. In Canada have previously lived in Labrador, Ontario and Manitoba and in the U.S. in Los Angeles.

Why they chose this property

We had been traveling to Rarotonga once or twice a year for 32 years, variously renting around the island and ultimately settled on staying at this gorgeous Lockwood house 8 years ago. The evening sunsets, beautiful beach and warm lagoon hooked us and we purchased the property in 2014. Since then we have upgraded the living, dining and bedrooms as well as new kitchen appliances and fridge.

What makes this property unique

Very secluded, quiet and comfortable yet easy walk to grocery stores and restaurants and bars just down the beach.
