Beachfront holiday rentals in Rarotonga

Wow! This place looks even better than the photos, it is literally on the beach, white coral sand all the way to the steps to get inside, like a movie. We were a group of 4 adults ( myself, husband and 2 adult kids) the set up couldn’t be more perfect for this kind of family group, the master bedroom/ensuite is connected but just off the main part of the house so would suit any family with older kids that you don’t need to see to during the night. The lounge and master both have tvs with Netflix. There is a massive fridge and everything you need in a kitchen, bbq on the deck. Also loved the kitchen had all the essentials like oil, s & p, condiments etc ( heaps of air bnbs don’t have this and it’s annoying). The only thing I wanted that was missing was a coffee plunger but I bought one and donated it for future guests. The beach directly in front is calm and shallow, perfect for kids and a morning dip. Bar next door is chill except weekend but shuts promptly at 10, No problem at all.

Great stay for our family with little kids. The house was just as described in the listing. The beach out front was quiet and shallow for the kids to swim, kayak and snorkel. The pool was a very nice bonus, being fully fenced meant we could relax without having to worry about the kids. The air-con's all worked well and the kitchen was very well stocked. A great stay, with good communication from Mark.

Excellent stay. Made sure I felt welcomed even when my flight arrived very late at night. I will definitely be returning!

Julie and I would like to thank Lotu from the moment I booked the communication was first rate . The property was perfect for the two of us and was exactly as described and only had to walk out the back door to be on the Lagoon The fruit basket coffee tea even milk in the fridge was appreciated Also a big thankyou to Sala who called in regularly to see if we needed anything We couldnt have been any happier and didnt want to leave after our 4 week stay Once again Thankyou. Meitaki Maata We will be back and would love to stay here again

A second Family 🩵

Anchor sands is a hidden gem of the cook islands, we are so glad we choose this Airbnb instead of a resort. We have 2 teenagers 14 & 16 and this place was perfect for us, kids could sleep in their own rooms with out being woken up by other guests. We were able to connect to the TV and stream Netflix and Prime. But best of all was the location, the best snorkelling and fish - straight in front of the house. We would see the tour boats anchor out the front each (far out, not close to the shore), so that tells you its a good spot for snorkelling. But best of all was the view from the deck, we sat their for hours each morning having coffee, relaxing and reading books. Its close to shops, not to far from town (25mins), Go Local turtle tours is just down the Road, Same with Wigmores (who do the best ice creams), and some great restaurants too, like Charlies, Vaima on the Beach, Little Polynesia. We feel staying here made our holiday, it is an exceptional property and location. Thank you!!!

Mark was great! Any issues we had, he was very helpful. Location made it accessible to muri and heaps of other beautiful beach spots and local supermarkets!

We had the most magical stay. Robbie and Suzanne and Robbie Junior were so warm friendly and grounded souls. The house was incredible amazing location and we felt so held and cared for in a very special place

Sunset Quay is a perfect place to rejuvenate, relax or a perfect location for adventure. We had a group of 8 adults- 3 couples and 2 singles and had more than ample space for everyone to get some privacy and the common areas made it perfect to gather, play games and talk story.. the pool was beautiful, clean and refreshing. We ventured to Muri a couple of times and we're SO happy we chose this location instead. Murray had more mosquitoes, snorkeling was not as good and there is no sunset on that side of the island. walk down the beach a short ways to restaurants, a beach bar and more stunning beaches. all in all, one of our best group trip locations ever! Mahalo nui loa, Lara!

A beautiful spot right on the beach at Muri. It’s a great option for 2 people. The villa is about the size of a good hotel room with a modest kitchen. All of the Muri restaurants are a few mins walk away. We swam in the lagoon mostly as the water was so warm. Joy is a real people person - very helpful and genuine.

Absolutely lovely. The two totally private, walled in garden areas were a highlight. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. Rick, the owner, was delightful. Definitely hope to come back soon.

Loved our stay at The Heritage. We were two couples and with an ensuite each, the house was perfectly set up. Private access to the beach, and yet screened from passers-by through the beautiful garden. Picture perfect sunsets. The lagoon is quite shallow at this point, even at high tide it isn't great for ocean swimming, but great for snorkelling and would be good for young kids to paddle in. The benefit is you can walk all the way to the reef at low tide, which was a great way to view starfish and other sea creatures. Quiet part of the island, Muri would be the best place if someone is looking for action, but it suited us fine. There are a few beach bars and restaurants in walking distance, recommend the Waterline Bar. There's a bus stop right at the driveway and the main town of Avarua is only 15min by bus. The whole island is easily accessible by the bus system. Eddie was a great host, very responsive and direct communication. Couldn't fault the house, the host nor the destination.

Absolutely stunning location, house and Mark was fantastic.

Minar and Louis made us feel very welcome. The home has a beautiful outdoor area overlooking the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked, lounge area comfortable. Close enough to town and restaurants. For our group of six it was a perfect stay.

We loved our stay! We arrived late at night and it was so nice to wake up and find a few supplies in the fridge. The place is lovely and clean, in a great location and has everything we could have wanted for far better value than a resort stay so would recommend to everyone

Great location, near restaurants and bars without any noise from the bars effecting this quite property. You could not ask for more facilities, kayaks, secluded pool all right on the beach. The unit was as described with lots of space to enable a relaxing break.

Excellent accommodation in Matavera, Cook Islands Spacious with plenty of room for 4 adults. We booked the top floor which had 3 big bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms 2 of which were ensuite bathrooms Open plan living area with lots of room to entertain. Part of the shower door in the 3rd bathroom was missing, we were advised on arrival, luckily there were 2 other bathrooms to use! Linen was excellent and the home was very clean and tidy. The view from the expansive deck overlooking the beach was excellent and we were lucky to stay in whale season so we saw whales on a daily basis which was great! Less than 100m walk to local shop which supplies all you would need. Excellent burger joint next door also! Can't swim on beach directly outside the property, but the swimming beach is not far down the road. Staff were friendly. Would book again!

From the moment we booked and paid for our accommodation, the host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay at the Kuriri Cottage. Whenever we had questions, we received responses within a few hours. I would highly recommend the Kuriri Cottage to all my whanau(family) and friends traveling over to Rarotonga. The place was clean and tidy. It had all the amenities to use. It's conveniently located near your own private beach, which we loved as we swam every-day. The Kuriri is also walking distance of grocery stores, and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book this place again. To our host, Nga mihi nui

We stayed for a week in this little piece of paradise. Right on the beach, with a quality deck overlooking the lagoon, this place was sensational. Had everything we needed, including snorkeling gear, and our hosts were friendly and responsive to messages. Would love to come back!

Beautiful home in a fabulous location. Love cafe across the road had great coffee and free wifi. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable week. Dorothea was a wonderful host. Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a great stay.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! A beautiful beachfront bungalow, very clean and equipped with everything you need in a home away from home. Located on the West side of the island, captures the beautiful sunsets in the evening with a short walk to the restaurants along the beach. Our 11 day stay was Perfect, with privacy and we had the best time. With love. ❤️ Thank you family. Cindy n I.

From the moment we booked—just 15 hours before arriving in Rarotonga from the U.S.—Janna went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. She was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions quickly and ensuring everything was seamless. Her Airbnb was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even stocked with thoughtful breakfast items—such a kind and welcoming touch! Beyond the wonderful accommodations, Janna’s hospitality was unmatched. She shared fantastic local recommendations that made our trip even more memorable and even helped us arrange a day tour, which ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and thoughtful host, Janna is the best. We can't recommend her Airbnb highly enough and would love to return!

We have been to Raro before we will stay here from now. Prefer over resorts. This place absolutely beautiful and exceeded the pictures. Private beach front right at your doorstep, large spacious villa with kitchenette and ensuite. We could picture ourselves living here. Location is so appealing not from airport, town centre, resorts, takeaway spots and bars across the road from gas station & small supermarket. Best spot to watch the sunset. Only 3 villas no crowds very intimate and quiet. The host Jo made this stay extra special she treated you like family helpful in anyway, she had heaps of recommendations and gave you your privacy. Thank you Jo! Recommended to all our family and friends. This will be my go to when returning to Raro. Must stay you will be amazed!

MURI SHORES ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT is a dream come true for anyone looking for a relaxing or romantic getaway. The location is stunning, with a breathtaking view of the Muri Lagoon and the sunrise. The lagoon water is warm and clear, ideal for swimming, snorkelling, windsurfing, kayaking, or foiling. The beachfront accommodation is cozy and comfortable, with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The wifi is fast, the air conditioner is efficient, and the kayak is a nice bonus. The host is very welcoming and generous, offering a delicious fruit platter on arrival. The chickens and the local friendly dogs add to the charm of the place. The comfortable recliners on the deck and on the beach are perfect for lounging and enjoying the sun and scenery. I highly recommend MURI SHORES ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT to anyone who wants to recharge their body and soul in a beautiful and peaceful setting.
