If you’re looking for luxurious accommodations in a peaceful tropical setting, our place is for you. Our 2BR/2BA house is right on the water on a 2-acre property in a quiet neighborhood with a backdrop of lush mountains surrounded by fruit trees. You’ll enjoy your own private beach area with clear turquoise waters and beautiful snorkeling for all levels right in front of the house. You can tour the lagoon in our kayaks, sunbathe or stargaze from the lounge chairs, or have an evening fire in the fire pit.
We’re about a 5 minute drive to the town of Fare where you can find the big supermarket and restaurants, so we’re close to town but once you’re here it feels like your own remote paradise. There is a bakery just 1 minute up the road to get fresh bread and pastries in the morning.
The home is beautiful--built with imported hardwoods and recently refurbished inside & out. Art by famous local artists, Sabrina Birk and Bobby Holcomb, grace the walls. The big deck area at the front of the house is where you’ll end up spending a lot of time, with it’s magnificent views of the ocean and mountains and sweet ocean breezes. There is also a beautiful dining table to enjoy meals at home, as well as two couches on the deck for napping or relaxing in the afternoon breeze.
In the middle of the house is the spacious living room and kitchen area, separating the two bedrooms, making them feel private, so it’s ideal for 2 couples or a family.
The master bedroom has a king sized bed and beautiful bay window, with a small desk for working remotely if needed. There is a large walk-in closet and the master bathroom has a spacious two-person bathtub and shower.
The second bedroom is lovely, too, with a queen-sized bed and it’s own deck access, plus it's own bathroom with a shower and washing machine.
The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped for cooking. We are eco-conscious and run a local non profit for the environment and animals, so we provide you with filtered drinking water, eco-friendly soaps, and receptacles for recycling and composting.
We built a dreamy outside shower by the ocean with hot water and plenty of privacy for those who want to enjoy bathing outside.
The property faces west, so you can enjoy the magnificent Tahitian sunsets each evening--maybe from the hammock that hangs above the water from the mango trees that lean out over the lagoon in the serene north corner of the property. If you’re here during whale season between July and October, you can even see and hear whales passing by right in front of the house!
Having a rental car is recommended if you’d like to do some touring around Huahine, or go back and forth to town. But our driveway is steep and requires some confidence behind the wheel. We recommend either parking at the top and letting us shuttle you up and down with your luggage, or renting a 4x4 vehicle.
This is a wonderful base from which to enjoy the surrounding magic of Huahine, but it’s also such a special place on its own that you might just want to spend some time at home relaxing in the peaceful surroundings.
You are welcome to explore the 2 acres around the house as you please and pick fruits and flowers from the garden. Right outside your door you will find guavas, papayas, passionfruits, avocados, mangos, grapefruits, limes, breadfruit, pineapples, and other exotic fruits you may not have tried. Nov-May is the high season for fruit, but there’s always something to eat right from the garden.
My wife and I live in a smaller home on the south side of the property, but we will give you plenty of privacy. We do have 4 adult dogs and 3 cats, that are super friendly and will want to meet you. I am from Huahine, and I am happy to share info or history about my island or open a fresh coconut for you to drink. I speak Tahitian, French, and English, and my wife is American so she speaks English perfectly so communication should be easy.
We are happy to help you book excursions, or answer questions, just let us know what you need. We apologize for any inconvenience, but for reasons of social politics on the island we cannot host visitors coming to Huahine to surf.
