Ideal location, helpful manager, and great property
Jenny, the property manager was great with checkin explaining things, offering recommendations, and answering questions. The views from the expansive deck are out of this world. The location is ideal and convenient, particularly if you have a car. Owner Marc was also great with answering questions with the booking, driving in Moorea, and directions. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would book this unit again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and Safe
Villa is in a beautiful location. It is gated and safe. It’s also very quiet. Views were amazing. The hot tub doesn’t get hot, but that’s noted in the other reviews. It’s perfect for the afternoon when you get back from doing activities. WiFi is strong and there’s a parking stall up front. Jenny greeted us earlier than scheduled and presented us with a beautiful fruit platter. The villa was fully stocked, although we did not cook or use the kitchen at all. Beautiful villa for those who want to get away from the hotel scene.

Incredible views & great location
The views at this property can't be beat! There is even a stunning view from the shower. AC in the bedroom was great for sleeping and we didn't really need it any other time due to the great breeze. It has a very well equipped kitchen for anything you would want to make. Jenny the property manager was very responsive and was able to let us check out late on our last day. Beach chairs were a huge plus. Be prepared that the jacuzzi is not heated! This was a bit shocking on my first day as I tried to go in around 4pm when there was no sun on it. The next day I went in around noon and it was perfect. A nice little cool down from the afternoon sun. I would definitely stay again!

Good stay with excellent views
Overall a great experience. The views of the ocean are fantastic and the amenities are quite nice. The interior is excellently furnished. We even enjoyed the pool and tennis court. Only downside was the non-functioning hot tub and gym. It looks great in the pictures but it was only upon arrival that we were told it was not in working order which would have been ok but the property manager kept saying it would get fixed throughout the week and it never did. So less a knock on the actual functionality of the hot tub (these things break sometimes) but more on the communication of it.

Breathtaking villa
My family of four (2 kids age 6&10) spent a week in February at this stunning villa. We loved everything about it!! The communication with the manager was excellent. The check in & check out process was a breeze. The villa was well equipped with everything that we needed. The location was perfect, close to everything ( given that you have a car), a beautiful beach, where you can rent out a boat or kayak to go to Coco beach, or to see stingrays and sharks, grocery stores, restaurants ( our favorite was Snack Mahana). Our kids really enjoyed to cool down in the chilly jacuzzi and the pool after a hot day at the beach. The last, but not least- the views from the terrace are just to die for!!! Would definitely come back!!!! ☺️☺️

Luxury and Comfort in Moorea
This was our family's second time in Moorea. Although some folks might want ocean front or overwater bungalows, we rented a car and did not mind driving 3 minutes to the beach. The location of this property is outstanding, in a gated community, perched on hillside with the BEST views of the BEST part of the island. The unit is super luxurious, with everything you need, including beach supplies, snorkels etc (though we brought our own). Waking up, having coffee on the deck, while decideing which beach we were going to visit, was great. Then, in the afternoon, coming home making a drink and sitting in the hot tub overlooking the reef pass was a perfect way to wind down. The property manager, Jenny, was very attentive and very responsive to every request. For our family of 4, this place was perfect. We will be back.

Amazing
We come to Moorea every year. This is our first time staying at this property. It was perfect! The unit has an amazing view of the lagoon. We sat on the deck every morning drinking our coffee, eating breakfast and watching whale spouts and breaches. The unit was equipped with everything we needed to cook from home, relax and enjoy the island life. We generally stay in high end rentals / hotels. I would rate this 5 out of 5.

Amazing find!
This is an amazing property in a gated neighborhood with all the amenities you need. Jenny greeted us and was easily reachable. They provided a bottled water cooler, AC in the bedrooms, snorkel sets and beach chairs, and a crib for our infant. The hottub is certainly a bonus feature which was great for sunsets and evening. They are located close to the activities, but we would recommend having a car to stay here and exploring the island

A cozy villa
We had a great time staying in this residence. It is located in the beautiful quiet gated community. The view is phenomenal and peaceful. They provide all basic necessities that we can think of. We didn't get the check -in instructions email, and the phone number in the website was the previous manager's number. The previous manager contacted Jenny right away and we had a smooth check-in process. Jenny was very helpful and responsive. Overall, we had a pleasant stay so highly recommend.

Beautiful villa, amazing views, and wonderful host and property manager
We absolutely loved our stay in Villa Honu. The location is excellent, in a quiet hillside neighborhood, but very easy to access beaches, restaurants and shops (we did have a car, which definitely helps). The villa is lovingly and tastefully decorated with a very well-equipped kitchen. Jenny, the property manager, couldn't have been more helpful; she even had a beautiful plate of fresh fruit waiting for us on the counter, and there were lovely flowers artfully placed around the villa. The place was spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hot tub is delightful, and we loved sitting on the deck and taking in the views of the lagoon, both in the morning for sunrise with a cup of coffee, and in the evening at sunset with a glass of wine! The instruction manual we received by email from Marc before we arrived (and the copy in the villa) were extremely thorough and helpful. Overall an exceedingly pleasant place to stay on the beautiful island of Moorea!

This place is super nice. It's very comfortable, convenient, private, and pretty. Jenny, the host (or agent of) is so nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our brief stay, but wished we could have stayed longer. I did not have a board with me, but if you surf it's a perfect place to sit and watch the waves at the pass (visible in the photos...a right and a left) and wait for perfect conditions.
