Waterfront vacation rentals in Rarotonga

Amazing accomodation with everything you need, including a beach right at your door step. We loved our stay here and if we are ever back in the Cook Islands would stay here in a heart beat!

It was a great experience.hey were very responsive to all of my enquires prior to the stay. Bill was very helpful and accomodating. He showed me all the interesting and important places on the island. TBill was very supportive since I was alone. It was very quiet and close to the beach for a walk along the beach. All eating facilities were within walking distance. It was a very convenient location for the buses going around the island. A car could be useful but not essential. The major town, Avarua was only four km away. The airport was only approximately six km away. There were paw fruits, bananas and passion fruits which were offered off the property. Bill made sure that the plate on the kitchen always made sure that fresh fruits were always on that plate. Bill was hospitable and I would highly recommend the place for either a single person or couple.

One of the best airbnb stays I've ever had. Tere and family made me feel welcome immediately, and are absolutely fantastic hosts. They gave me great recommendations on where to find good food, the convenience store that's open late, and best things to see and do. The penthouse is cozy and clean, the bed comfortable, and the views are stunning. Enjoy the sunsets from the balcony or the beach, which is a literal stone's throw away. Don't overthink this one. I'd happily stay in the penthouse again, or one of their villas. Meitaki ma'ata, thank you all for an amazing holiday!

If you’re perusing Airbnb for the best place to stay on Rarotonga that has everything you need, look no farther! “Right on the Beach” studio was perfect for our stay. Diane is so approach willing to help with anything you need, as is her helpers that take care of the cleaning and upkeep. We enjoyed the location and the proximity to everywhere we needed to go. We used the outdoor grill and the hob for cooking some of our meals in, and also had amazing meals at the various restaurants we tried. Walking on the uncrowded beach in the morning and watching amazing sunsets at night were heavenly! We couldn’t have had a better time! We’ll be back someday!

A great place to stay. Our family had a wonderful time there. A nice quiet area right in the beach. The pizza place and dvd store was great for our kids.

Perfect location for short walk to town, 15-20 mins easy. Big shower (wheelchair friendly) and toilet area, both very clean. Especially grateful that my elderly mother was able to access shower independently. I did have problems with regulating the hot water, but in saying that, Pasha did give clear details of who to contact should I need any help, I didn't, so its on me. Accommodation description was correct in terms of size ie small studio but it catered to our needs and we were very happy and comfortable with it. Mozzies were regular visitors until I lit the coils supplied by Sue and Pasha. Both Sue and Pasha were overly accommodating (so so grateful). Both hosts were overseas when I arrived which wasnt an issue as their clear communication and instructions made it a stress free check in, 5 night stay and check out booking. Would definitely book here again.

Ash's place was perfect for what we needed, the morning view every morning was stunning, everything about the property was amazing. Thanks again for allowing us to stay there.

We had an amazing stay at Moana Sunset villa. Beautiful views, beautiful big bathrooms, house had everything we needed and it was super handy to a number of great eating spots plus a short drive to great snorkeling near The Rarotongan. We definitely preferred the West side of the island. Eddie also checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay. The location was perfect and so fantastic being so close to the water. We spent a lot of time kayaking and snorkelling on the lagoon and appreciated that there were plenty of kayaks to choose from and other equipment. The deck was huge and also plenty of outdoor furniture for the sun and undercover. Whilst Feb is generally the wettest month we had great weather most days (only a couple of rainy days). Tia was very responsive to any questions we asked during our stay which was great. We will certainly love to come back one day.

The house was great, the location was perfect: it was easy to get to the beach and Muri town, and Cathy was wonderful to deal with and very helpful. We had a fantastic time!

Toa Moana Beach Villa was the perfect place to stay when visiting Rarotonga for the first time. Step out the back door and right onto the sand and into the shallow lagoon where you can snorkel and see lots of different types of fish, bright blue starfish and even the occasional turtle came by! It is right next to the turtle tours (I recommend Ariki it was amazing with a small group, a guide and you have underwater hand held jets to propel you). There is the Wigmores Superstore just 5 minutes away for groceries (and fruit ice cream!). I believe the Airbnb is in the best position on the island with sunsets from the balcony you could only dream of. The house is two storey, very clean and tidy with free wifi & everything you need to cook meals if you want. Wake up to views of the ocean! Has SUP and canoes and snorkel equipment. Connie was a great host with very quick communication and always friendly and helpful. Thank you Connie for making our first visit so wonderful! We’ll be back!

It was such a lovely stay, 2 of my friends and I stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every night. It was like a real life Moana movie with the chickens there. The abundance of fruit in the backyard was amazing! The host were the most accommodating and kind people, everything we needed was available to utilise. If we ever get the chance to return to Rarotonga we would love to stay here again!

We loved our Time at Tiare Villa. It was spotlessly clean and situated in the best spot, directly opposite Villi’s and KAPS which was so handy. The Villa is also just a short drive to Muri in one direction or the markets and town in the other. It had absolutely everything you could need provided. We did find the bifold doors a little hard to open and close but this wasn’t a major issue, and maybe this was just the operators haha We were sad to leave and we will definitely be recommending to family and friends. Thanks for having us 😊

We are so pleased to have discovered Teresa’s beautiful home! It is in an idyllic location, with the best snorkelling right outside. The home is huge, and very comfortable. Due to the mezzanine-nature of the master bedroom we had our 4 daughters stay upstairs, and we took the downstairs bedroom which opened on a patio directly by the sea. Moe, the neighbour who looks after Theresa’s home, was so lovely. We hope to return some day!
