Nailed it
Every other review is completely accurate. Amazing location, amazing amount of space, fantastic amenities for families (and family time). Our group was two families of four and everyone thought it was a fantastic vacation. We had a small issue one evening with one of the ACs not turning on, I messaged the host and 10 minutes later (late at night) he was there to show us how easy it was to fix (our ignorance...).

Another magical time on Cooks Bay
We visited this property just eight months ago and were so taken by the property (and Moorea in general) that we came back for a second round within the year! This time we were two families with four children 8-12 plus two grandparents. The house was perfect for our group -- we knew it would be. Incredible views, a great dock and tons of water toys to paddle in the bay, fish and sharks and rays cruising by off the dock, easy access to all of the rest of the island via taxis... couldn't ask for more. For us northerners, the AC in the bedrooms is also critical. Just an awesome place -- thank you for sharing it with us again Monique and Jean!

We were 3 families with kids aged from 4 to 11. We had an amazing time. The house has a great location as you have can go to beaches, hiking start (belvedere) within less than 20min. Vue from the house is awesome as it's on the bay and has a direct access to the beach that we enjoyed a lot. Warm welcome from the owner. We'll definitely come again.

Lovely stay in a true "South Pacific" heaven!
Loved this home and all the outdoor spaces. Kayaking in Cook Bay was great and appreciated the functioning washing machine!! Close-by shopping, even some just across the street. Parking a little hairy as the sharp turn off the road - but mastered it well before our departure. I would highly recommend this home!! Thank you!!

Nothing Short of Amazing
All the previous positive reviews are completely accurate. This was an amazing five nights stay right on Cook’s Bay in a beautiful home that has everything that you need. We did make several trips to the store to buy fresh fish and eggs and other staples, but for the most part, the house was completely stocked with spices, purified water, and all the cooking utensils you would need. My favorite part of the house is the dock. You can literally sit there and see lemon sharks and stingrays swimming by like clockwork. I don’t think there was a point in time where we didn’t see something swimming by within 10 to 15 minutes of each other. Monique, the host, was super receptive to all messages and inquiries during our stay. She even arranged for us to have late checkout since we had a midnight flight, and wanted to spend our last day at the house. Aidan, Who helped us check in had arranged for a rental car for me. It was the rental car that I didn’t know I needed but I absolutely did. The rate was super cheap. I believe I only paid 380 American dollars for five days. The car allowed us the freedom to travel all over the island to our excursions and also just to go to the beach or to the restaurants which are numerous in the area. We were just a family of four but the house actually sleeps 16 and although we didn’t have that many people, I would say that 16 would be totally comfortable. If we ever come back to Moorea again I would certainly love to stay at this house on Cook‘s Bay.

Lovely location, comfortable house, kind people!
Our family of 9 (2 grandparents, 2 adult couples, and 3 children ages 10,8, and 6) thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The dock makes the house - a fabulous place to lounge with gorgeous views. The boats and small beach were fun as were the 3 outdoor areas to eat. Special aspects include: well functioning air conditioning, comfortable beds, ample hot water, and a great laundry room (enclosed but open air) with 2 washers and 2 dryers, a large sink, lots of space to hang wet gear. We were thrilled to take totally clean, dry swimming and snorkeling gear home in our suitcases. The kitchen was adequate to cook a meal and had ample plates, silverware, glasses, etc. Great, secure off street parking and overall a very secure location. The house is older and shows some wear, but not in an uncomfortable way. I would describe it as homey and inviting. Our hosts were lovely, meeting us on time, allowing us to stay 4 hours longer, providing many wonderful pineapples, much advise, and even a special dessert! Merci beaucoup! Moorea was lovely - good restaurants, beaches, hiking. We especially enjoyed Allo Pizza, Rudy's, Coco Beach, and snorkeling with whales.

One Moment In Time
Morrea is the most beautiful island we have ever seen and Cooks Bay captured the breathtaking beauty from every direction. The exterior living space of this home is what drew our interest in renting, and it was more than we dreamed of. You can’t help but to feel happy when you see these views, private beach and Morning coffee on the dock. All of your water toys are right here to enjoy. As planned, when we were at the home, we were outside. (Neither of us ever saw a mosquito.) We only used the main level but were surprised to see the three bedrooms upstairs with ample space for so many more to enjoy. Thank you for your generous hospitality and attention to detail for our needs.

Wonderful Place and Location
You won't be disappointed. The location on Cook's Bay is great and near restaurants and stores, unlike other spots on the island. The dock is a treat and watching the sharks and rays swimming by at night is something to see. Being deep in the bay has an advantage for watersports, in that, the wind is worse as you head out of the bay. AC in each of the bedrooms is a bonus. Two awesome beaches less than 10 minutes away by car or scooter. And the supermarket is about 4 minutes away. Perfect place to stay. Be sure to rent a car at the ferry and enjoy the island!

incredible stay in Cook's Bay
Gosh, where do I start? Our stay at this property was part of a vacation that can only be described as a bottom-of-the-ninth-inning, bases loaded grand slam. Our hosts were fantastic and helpful, the house was so charming and fun for kids and parents alike, tons of water activities right out in front of the 'dock-quarium' with rays and sharks and turtles straight off the house (although obviously it's 2/3 of the way into Cooks Bay, so the visibility is better elsewhere.... but is still super super fun to jump in and snorkel right there at the house). The outrigger canoe and stand up paddle boards were awesome additions that we used all the time, not to mention the billiards, ping pong, and foosball tables! The house was well-appointed and charming, and we loved the history of the owners they were gracious enough to share in the welcome book. The outdoor showers were SO nice on hot days, and it was lovely to have a little air conditioning in the bedrooms at night for folks like us who are used to cooler climates. We are already planning our return to Moorea and will definitely be coming back to this house! Thank you Monique and Jean!

Paradise in Moorea
My family and I stayed here for 4 days/3 nights over Spring Break (my spouse and a 13,15,17 yo children). The island of Moorea is breathtaking, but this property let us enjoy it like it was home. The views are incredible and the sounds of the ocean, crickets, drumming at night fell pretty magical. Well-appointed, with about anything you could need functionally (kitchen/laundry/etc) and also as a vacation home (books/games/flippers/outdoor shower/hose). Comfortable. Safe. Open-air spaces that let you always enjoy the outside, even when you might need a break from the sun. We spent early mornings and evenings on the dock watching the fish swim by, including a stingray and some harmless sharks. We swam, kayaked, and snorkeled right off the beach in the reef area lining the property. Lazed around and read books on the beach. About 20 min from the ferry, this home was easy to get to, with a few eating spots within walking distance, grocery store about 5 min away and 2 beautiful white sand beaches 15 in either direction. We cooked dinner a couple nights - kitchen is well appointed and the knives were sharp! The hosts were amazing - so generous with their time, flexible with the check-in/out process and so welcoming with treats and refreshments from the island. This was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had and would love to come back with some friends!!! Highly recommend!!

Incredible stay in paradise
This house was hands down the best location on the island. We are so glad we stayed here. It had everything we could need and lots of things we didn’t know we wanted. Beautiful comfortable home in a very convenient location. Hosts were helpful and very responsive. They greeted us with fresh leis. The floral arrangements in all the rooms were spectacular. Island life includes mosquitos but they provided bug spray. Our favorite hang out place was the dock. Every morning going out on the dock and watching the sun rise and at night watch it set was a highlight, then after dark watching the sky without light pollution was amazing. We saw shooting stars every night. I could go on and on, but the house exceeded our expectations! Just across the street, there was a yummy smoothy shop, a really cute gift shop which had the best items with the sweetest owner and cute shops. And there is hidden restaurant behind the smoothy shop that was delicious! The grocery store was very close. All in all, the best vacation every!

Outstanding place for a family vacation. The location is perfect. Our granddaughter loved all the sea life right off the dock, and morning coffee view off the deck was a favorite for my wife snd I. The house is well equipped. The kitchen is set up with everything you would need. There is plenty of sports equipment for use during you stay. Our kids, old and young enjoyed the gaming tables, especially the ping pong table. It stayed busy in the evenings. Although it is not absolutely necessary, a car is nice to have on Moorea, but groceries and takeout are close by and accessible with the three wheel bikes. The best part of the stay was the great service by the hosts Monique and Aiden. They saved us a number of times. Thank You! You won’t go wrong staying at their fantastic home.

This place was AMAZING!!! Adrian the host welcomed us at the house with leis for the whole group. As soon as you open the door to this property you are in awe. It was beautiful!

Unparalleled Outdoor Living Space
We adored our stay in this house. It is a well-established family home, doesn't have the usual cold/thin/mas produced feel of a rental property. It has polished wood interiors and has been remodeled recently. The bath tubs are super. I can honestly say we were out on the dock 90 percent of the time, watching the mountain views change as the clouds shifted (timelapse photographers' dream), watching the lemon sharks and friendly stingrays pass by (neither are a threat to humans, very gentle beings), and the boats anchor and leave and anchor again. The location is phenomenal, and having your own dock is so rare. Definitely a gem of a house if you are a water person. Water is hot when you have sunny days, we had three solid days of rain but when it cleared, the views were breathtaking. A/C kept the house cool and the bug zapper machine was a nice touch. Absolutely lovely property run by good people. We would stay here again.
