This is a beautiful three bedroom, 2 bath modern rental on the black sand beach near Arue. We enjoyed the location and the comfort of the home. We worked with Lovina to pick us up at the airport as we returned from Bora Bora. She took us back to the home, gave us a nice walk through of the property and then turned the keys of her 9-passenger van over to us...we rented it from her for two days. I was a little concerned about the size of the van, but it was easy to drive and we toured the entire island, even parking it downtown at the ferry parking lot. That is a great place to park with a larger vehicle.Everything met or exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend this property.

There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room for all of us. Because our flight from LAX arrived at around 4 am, we actually rented the place for 3 nights. We like the open air dining area and the waterfront feature of the property. We rented their van and we were able to explore a few lovely places close to the property for the one full day we had before we flew to Raiatea, James Norman Hall, Faarumai Watetfalls, Tahara’a Viewpoint, including a quick visit to Papeete Market and Papeete Notre Fame and dinner at the local food trucks close to the property. Our host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with coz she speaks very good English. This place is definitely recommendable.

BRING EAR PLUGS if you are a light sleeper! The house is great, location is great, host is great. This island has an extraordinary amount of chickens and this property is no exception. There are pictures in the reviews of roosters and those roosters are active all night long. I wish I could report that they were endearing but I slept very poorly the first night and questioned a second night. The second night, with the help of ear plugs and sheer exhaustion, I slept much better. We had some issues getting the gate opened and the driveway is on a very busy street. Other than the above, the home was great and I would recommend with the knowledge about the roosters.

Loved that it is right on the beach and you can listen to the waves!

It took us a bit to get to know the area, and we loved the location. Lavinia was so kind. She arranged a tour for us and let us borrow a cooler. I would stay here again.

Convenience of booking van with house was awesome. Along with pick up and drop off at airport. Hosts were friendly, helpful and accommodated to all pur 20 questions and booked our trip to Moorea which was the highlight of our trip. Was raining most of the time for our trip but didn't stop us sight seeing as it was still really warm. House right on black sand beach and close to town.

Great quiet place to stay.

Very clean and peaceful. Backyard right on the beach was so relaxing. Beautiful and Shady. Nice hosts.The only negative was having a solar powered water heater so most of our showers were cold. Especially if you like morning showers. You need to shower when the sun is shining.

Lovely Tahiti

The Arue beach house was a great place to start our Tahiti adventure. Lovina showed us places and tricks of the local life in Tahiti that we would have never experienced if we had stayed at a resort. The a/c in each bedroom was great, everything worked as intended and the ease of renting the van was the best!!! Thank you Lovina, we wish you the best!!!!

Quiet beach house

Nice little place, close to the beach but not so close to the town of Papeete unfortunately so you'll need a car or cash for taxis. Great if you want a few days to get away from it all though :) Lovina is a friendly and helpful hostess. Some things were not working during our stay, hopefully these get rectified for others. We're happy with the few days we stayed here.

Wonderful Experience!

We really enjoyed our stay with Lovina and her family. It was just what we needed to acclimate us to the pleasures of Tahiti before we set sail on the Aranui. There were four adults so each couple was able to enjoy their on Kingsize bed and private bath. The house was well equipped and Lovina provided transportation on arrival and departure. We did have a small problem connecting on arrival at the airport due to lack of internet but it wasn’t anything major. I would definitely recommend her place and we appreciated her dog, Pepsi, making us feel right at home!

Really nice house on the beach. It’s not a swimming beach as there is a lot of algae at the bottom but fun for snorkeling or walking along. Also a great place to read and chill. We enjoyed the pool table a lot. We had trouble getting a booking for a 4x4 tour through the island and Lovina was kind enough to help us reserve a tour with Patrick who was both charming and super informative about the island’s plants and geological features. A great day! Across the street is a lovely, small museum about the author of Mutiny on the Bounty. Loved it!There is a nice beach for swimming about 15-20 minutes walking. And the drive into town is about 15 minutes. We spent 5 nights there and it was really nice. Free Netflix and WiFi worked ok . We also grilled on the BBQ.

when we arrived at 12:30 at night, there was NO KEY in the lockbox. My husband climbed over fence and eventually the owner that lived upstairs (NOT NOTED ON THE BOOKING INFO) finally woke up and let us in... apparently her son had taken the key! NOT COOL!! House was great. Great glass beach!

A hidden paradise in Ārue

Our host Lovina was so nice and accommodating. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. She made us feel right at home. The property is right on a magnificent black sand beach that has wonderful snorkeling and kayaking or paddle boarding. Lovina provided us with all the equipment we need to do everything on the beach. You can also borrow her snorkeling gear and mats for the beach if you plan to go to other beaches (which we did). The property is conveniently located near the airport and to Papeete. It is just a short drive away from those areas. There are local food trucks that are open nearby and also an Easy Market where you can buy all the supplies you need if you choose to eat at this beautiful Property. The highlight of staying here was eating a meal and gazing upon the gorgeous ocean view from the backyard. We used the bbq grill to make steak and shrimp one night and it was so awesome. The snorkeling here at their beach is really good. Plenty of coral where fish hang out. The locals like this beach as a hidden gem. We would stay here again. It is a paradise! Thank you Lovina for letting us stay at your magnificent property. We hope to see you again!

Private beach was our favorite part of the trip!

We loved the private beach. This was our daughter's favorite part of the trip. There are other people who have access to the beach as well as you are in a neighborhood of Arue but compared to the public beaches you have a piece of paradise all to yourself. We also enjoyed all the animal life (giant snails, crabs, birds and one day we even saw a sea otter swimming near us). The neighbors do have dogs (and there are a lot of dogs in Tahiti) but they did not bother us. The rental van was a must for us. It enables you to go to the local markets, grocery stores, restaurants, and visit the island. We only booked one tour on viator which was snorkeling (and technically you can do that in the private beach area), but we are not experienced and wanted a guide to take us into one of the lagoon areas around the island. Our primary purpose for booking a Vrbo over the resort was the private beach and having access to a rental vehicle that would allow us to explore independently. There are a lot of bugs (it is a tropical island), so bring bug spray and anti-itch cream. The hosts were very respectful of personal space and we only saw them a couple of times during our stay and for the pick up and drop off at the airport. We wanted to experience life as the Tahitians do and so that is what you will get with this beach house which is among the locals who are extremely gracious and friendly.

A piece of paradise

Beautiful property. Tranquil setting. A great spot from which to explore the island. Our greatest challenge was finding the location in the pouring rain. We went by the gate at least 6 times. A sign at the gate would have been appreciated. Although we were hours late and had no cell service to communicate with the host, the housekeeper was waiting for us with a smile. For that we were extremely relieved and grateful. You won’t be disappointed with this rental property.

The property was lovely, especially its location to the ocean. Two things that need to be addressed. 1) windows in the bathroom do not have screens and were open upon our arrival. The house was full of mosquitoes. 2) While the bathrooms were renovated and very beautiful, the kitchen is extremely outdated. The oven had to be lit from inside and had no settings for temperature. This was explained by the housekeeper after trying to figure it out ourselves.
