About this property
Secluded holiday home with pool
Surrounded by lush Palm trees and crisp colourful flowers, we've got you tucked away in your own little island inspired home. Soak up some sun in your own private pool or take a break and hit the beach. Chuck some steaks on the grill, or pack a basket and explore. There really is no limit to your island experience.
Whether you're looking to have a wild holiday with friends or a fresh little getaway with family, we've got you covered. Our three bedroom unit has enough space to fit you and your entire party comfortably. But a good nights rest isn't the only thing you should look forward too. With our location you've got the beach, almost literally at your door step with only a quick 5min walk to Social Centre Beach. A local favourite.
Feeling peckish but run out of supplies? No sweat, hop in your car or scooter and you're off on a 10min ride to town. While you're there, why not explore a little? Grab a souvenir T shirt or an infamous Cook Islands black pearl pendant. There's no limit here!
And if all this has still got you craving for more. Then be sure to check out Black Rock and watch the sun set on another day in paradise. While you swim and enjoy the waters of the Pacific Ocean. No rush, no fuss. Relax, you're on island time now! Special conditions: Smoking allowed outside only. Families or mature guests preferred. Pool area not fenced-smaller children must always be supervised. No pets allowed, however we do have 2 friendly dog that loves everyone. Excessive noise (e.g loud music) not permitted after 10pm

We loved our stay in Rarotonga. The house was clean and tidy, lots of room for our family of 6. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Good size fridge and freezer. The stove top and oven perfect. My children loved the pool and we would also have bbq’s on the deck. Location is great only 10 minutes from the airport. There is no air conditioning but the home has 3 free standing fans so if that’s important to you then you decide. There is only 1 bathroom so it was a bit hectic getting ready to go out but the pool and location made up for it. There is a washing machine and dishwasher as well. The photos online need to be updated because the furniture is very different now. I would recommend getting a sign in front of the driveway as it was a nightmare trying to find the house in the night when we arrived. Overall we loved our stay in Vaiana’s home.
We had a great week in Rarotonga. The house was clean and tidy and the kids enjoyed the pool. It was a little hard to find when we arrived so some signage might be useful for others in future.
We had a wonderful time in a lovely setting surrounded by trees and nature. Our own pool to relax in and only a few minutes from golf and beaches. We were greeted and made welcome with the offer of “if you want anything just ask”. We’d come back for certain!
As listed this was a good place for our family with 4 kids (15,12,7,4). Some minor improvements would make it 5 stars. No toilet paper on arrival, couldn't locate pool pump to clean it, blunt knives, and a user manual for the home is always helpful.All in all this is a good home and I'd happily recommend it to others. Congrats Vaiana on your home, we wish you all the very best

We enjoyed our short stay here. It was breezy and relaxed. The big deck, bbq and reasonably well equipped kitchen was great for when we had other family over for dinner. Easily walkable to the beach (10min), Double-Brown store, and the main road for the bus. Use TransportMe app for tracking buses. I didn't get an email address or phone number for the host (Vaiana) but you can use the Stayz app (or Vrbo website chat) to communicate. This house is good value for money and I would stay here again.
We had a great stay at this property. It was very convenient for us with the 3 kids. The pool was great, it was cleaned daily, and the hosts were great communication. The house was clean, and in the context of Rarotonga was well resourced. We were initially alarmed at the dogs and chickens around the place when we checked in, as it’s the first time we have been here and with a 2am arrival, but you soon learn that’s the Rarotonga way and life and it was not a bother. We also had a hire car which I think is probably necessary at this location, but we also had three kids to lug around. We loved the sugar cane spot down the road, and I think the nearby beach is great.We travelled with a 3 kid family, I’d give the following pointers. Would be great to have a clothes horse maybe to dry clothes as we had a bit of rain on our stay, and fix the hole in the mosquito screen at the entry. Other than that, we really loved our stay and would fully recommend this place and these hosts. Thanks!!!!
We stayed here for 3 months while on an extended stay in Raro. It was absolute perfect for what we needed and the pool especially, was amazing!
Being here so long, a few things cropped up over time, Vaiana and Bella were always responsive and resolved any thing we needed as soon as possible.
We loved Sadie and Missy and would have taken them home if we could, we miss them desperately and hope all future guests love them like we do!
The location is great - close to town and the beach, and Super Browns, Oasis etc. close by to pop into. We loved hearing the planes coming in and it made it easy to pick up visitors as we knew when they'd landed :)
We love our 2nd home and would recommend to all.
The house was lovely and clean. Had the things we needed- including five stand alone fans. The kids loved the pool- it’s a bit rough in places on the lining but the caretaker cleans it everyday so the water is beautiful. Outside area is gorgeous- mozzies are a pain but coils and plug in are a deterrent. Would happily recommend this home as a great place for a family holiday.
Clean and tidy, wifi, hot showers, private pool to cool off, spacious, large private outdoor area, tables lounge under shade, surrounded by tropical plants indoor outdoor flow, fans for warm nights, tv entertainment, fridge freezer, cooking facilities, own car park, highly enjoyed our stay Thank you… nice friendly property caretaker…
We had an amazing stay !The host herself tended to every need so easily without hesitation . The accomodation is in pristine condition , the pool was definitely a hit with the family especially the kids, the location was nice and private & the place in general is so well maintained and well kept , we would definitely stay again a hundred times over if we could . This place was amazing Highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!
