This property was great for our family. Everything about it was outstanding from its location and the amenities. A nice quiet and peaceful neighborhood close to shopping and restaurants. The water access and views were fantastic. One of my favorite homes on VRBO.

We were very pleased with this place. We traveled with a group of 12 adults and found it just about perfect. The location is great. Though you will need / want a rental car, it is very close to numerous great snorkeling beaches, stunning hikes (Magic Mountain is a must!), and nice restaurants. One thing that made us nervous before we got here was the beach. We could not really tell what it was like from the photos. It turned out to be quite satisfactory. There is a pristine sand area right next to the pool and then two steps down to the actual beach. While it is not the sort of beach you would want to lay on (rocky, small), it is quite suitable for swimming. (Even for kids, if supervised. At least I think so. Every parent will need to make their own decision.) Water shoes are recommended due to scattered rocks on the bottom, but you can easily walk our a few dozen yards to areas that are quite swimmable. We did that every day. Due to the offshore barrier reef, the water is quite calm with no waves and suitable for snorkeling. (Though marine life to see is not as plentiful, and visibility is not as great, as other nearby areas.) There are also paddle boards and two person kayaks on site that are fun to us. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, utensils, appliances, etc. There was also a reasonable assortment of spices and coffee. With our group of 12, our only design complaints were apparent from the listing: (1) We could have used one more bathroom. (2) The upstairs lofts do not have walls / doors, so the early risers can disturb the late sleepers upstairs. A similar issue applies to the ground floor in the annex, where the “bedroom” is not walled off. But we made it work. There were three “real” bedrooms. The main bedroom has a private bath, and the two others share a bath. We put six people in the two real bedrooms, two in the annex “bedroom” and 4 in the lofts. (3) The inside dining space was really only suitable for about six people. We managed to squeeze in 12 on the outside table, which is where we wanted to eat anyway. Stephanie, the property manager onsite, was lovely. She was so friendly and so helpful and gave us great tips on where to stay and what to do. Wifi was adequate in the mainhouse. I was able to do video calls. It did not extend well to the annex. Overall, it was a great space and near perfect for our group. Comfortable beds. Clean. Well equipped. And just a lovely setting with a view

Property was great for our family. We had 8 total and it was a ton of room for us. We loved it. We brought our own pillows (we're picky). Beds were great. Spent lots of time at the house. Loved having the toys - paddle boards and kayaks.

Villa TEPOE has everything you could want or need. Very well stocked kitchen if you want to cook. Stephanie the property manager is very helpful and responsive. We were a party of 8

We travelled from Canada with two other couples for a trip of a lifetime. We booked this beautiful home on the beach and were thrilled to see it was exactly as we had hoped. Sometimes people "enhance" their photos and descriptions. This place delivered! We were greeted by Stephanie who after showing us around the property, made dinner reservations for us at a local restaurant for our first night so that we didn't have to cook after a long day of travel. Then she gave us directions to a grocery store where we purchased everything we needed to prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen. This property does not lack for anything. After only one day, we decided not to book any tours of Moorea, opting instead to take advantage of rest and relaxation time in this spectacular place. We highly recommend Ville Tepoe!

We had an incredible stay over Christmas and New Years at Julie’s place. The vacation rental is in a gated community in Papetoai which is about a 35 min drive from the ferry. There are several small grocery stores and a post office within walking distance plus a roadside fruit stand and a couple small food stands. Our communication with Julie was easy and the property manager, Stefanie was very friendly and helpful. She met us at the prearranged time and explained everything to us. There are 3 bedrooms on the main floor and an open upstairs loft. The master bedroom has a king bed and an ensuite with a tub and a shower. The other main floor bedrooms each had king bed. We found the beds very comfortable. There was a shared bathroom between them with a shower. The main floor has roller shades which kept the rooms very dark at night. Air conditioning was in each bedroom and worked well. The upstairs loft had a queen bed plus 2 singles. As the upstairs windows are nearly triangular shaped there were no blinds on them which meant the kids were awake as soon as the sun rose. Also there is a slight open air gap at the top of the windows which meant mosquitoes came in. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a large fridge and freezer and a 5 burner gas stove plus an oven and a microwave. There is an extra fridge in the outside laundry room if needed and a charcoal BBQ. There is a washing machine but not a dryer however there are drying lines and a drying rack. There is a large deck overlooking the ocean. On this a 4 loungers, a large table and 6 chairs and a sitting area with outdoor furniture. The pool is warm and a decent size. Beside the pool is an outdoor shower to wash off the beach sand. There is another area under the palm trees near the beach with some more chairs. The beach is quite small. The ocean water is rocky at the edge but very warm and you can see fish and rays. The snorkeling is pretty decent if you swim out aways. There were 2 stand up paddleboards and 2 two person kayaks which we used a lot. At the back of the house under a covered area is a ping pong table. There is an extra house behind the main house that has a king bed on main level and another queen bed and single on the loft. The staircase up if extremely steep so probably not the best for small kids. There is one bathroom with a shower and a small kitchen with a bar sized fridge, a table and a small sitting area. Wifi is good in mainhouse but not other hous

The location of this house is amazing! It is right on the lagoon and we could see the fish swimming by standing on the shore. They had a great deck for sunbathing, and the pool was very nice. The property is private and secure, but close to grocery stores and restaurants. The house itself was very comfortable and clean. There were only 2 of us, but we felt it was very cozy, even though there was room for plenty more family. There is a washing machine, but no dryer. They do have a clothesline for drying the clothes, and I really loved the fresh smell of the clothes after taking them off the clothesline. Kayaking is amazing there, with all kinds of fish to see. We didn't snorkel, but it would have been good snorkling. We also saw whales out in the ocean on three different days. Stephanie, our conceirge, is wonderful to work with, and very helpful. We missed the last ferry off the island on the day we were leaving, and were in a panic (the schedule had changed due to the Covid lockdown). Stephanie was able to get a friend to take us by fishing boat to Tahiti (that was quite an adventure!!). Then she took our rental car back to Tahiti for us the next day. That was going beyond the call of duty! The only bad thing about the trip was that the island was in a Covid lockdown with an 8pm curfew. No restaurants were open for anything but takeout food, and none of the tours or the golf course were open. The house was a GREAT place to be stuck at, though! Very relaxing.

Un petit week-end entre amis très sympa, maison très fonctionnelle, propre, bel emplacement. Merci à l’hôtesse Stéphanie et son compagnon.

Our family of four along with six friends stayed from January 2 through January 9, 2021. The house is even more beautiful in person. The owner, Julie, was very responsive and communicative when one of our flights got canceled and we had to change our reservation, and providing information on the location and check in process. There is also a helpful binder in the house to guide you and answer FAQs. Stephani, who handles the arrival and on-site issues, was wonderful as well. She was very helpful and told us everything we needed to know, and when we thought we had an issue she was more than willing to come back to the house and help us out. It turned out we just had overlooked something and it wasn’t necessary, but we appreciated her hospitality. It was a very smooth reservation process and checking in and checking out was simple. About the house: The house is in a beautiful location right on the beach. There was a lot of amazing snorkeling right off shore, and the kayaks came in really handy! We had hoped to play ping-pong, but never got around to it. There is a grill which we made for use of for occasional meals. The house is near the post office and a small market and some wonderful restaurants. We were also fortunate that we booked an excursion, and the excursion company was able to pick us up right on our own beach! It was a beautiful home and location and if there weren’t so many things to do and see you on the island, we would’ve been content to just stay at the house. The pool was a great asset as well and we all enjoyed it very much. There are also all sorts of floaty devices for the pool, obviously left behind by renters. We left behind some really cool water hammocks as well. Overall, an awesome vacation. We hope to return someday soon!

Je recommande vivement la villa Tepoe. Un cadre magnifique, bien entretenu et équipée. Merci Julie et Stéphanie pour l'accueil et le late check-out.
