Stroll down the lawn straight on to Muri Beach facing the island 'Taakoka'. On a huge 3/4 acre section set 30m away from the road. Read the many recent reviews. On the 'Muri Golden Mile' with use of a 11m shared pool 20 steps off the deck, the beach, kayaks & golden sand a few more steps away ! Only Muri has four in lagoon 'Motus' to explore and one of them 'Taakoka' is set in the lagoon right in front of the beach. Head out your back door and 30m along the lawn will face you right in front of Taakoka island on the beach. You can pay $700+ to be at Muri Beach in such a central sought after location, this villa represents great value for up to four guests staying together fully self catered for much less. Explore Taakoka Island (motu) in the lagoon or in one of the kayaks or with the provided snorkel gear (excl flippers). Central Location - 400m to the famous Muri Night Market, Cafes, Hotels, Restaurants, Water Activities - Muri is the tourist 'hub' of the island ! Muri Beach - the only place to be with everything on your door step ! This family friendly two level villa is fantastic value for money on Muri Golden Mile with a private, landscaped and fenced pool 10 steps off the deck! Enjoy the shared pool or take a few steps to our private beach access leading directly on to the famous Muri Beach, snorkel, kayak around the island named 'Taakoka' which is right off the beach ! Only Muri has Motus (islands) to explore and Taakoka is right there when you step off the lawn. Our setting is walking distance to everything @ Muri including the now famous 'Muri Night Market' This two level (with stairs) villa has two bedrooms and ensuites both with air con, both upstairs, we can split beds to singles and there is plenty of wardrobe storage . Downstairs there is a additional bathroom with washing machine. there is a full kitchen including dishwasher, hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave, BBQ outside and all the cooking utensils needed to cook some tasty island food ! The outside are is private with sun loungers , BBQ, a deck with outside dining and lots of seating. the sun area captures the sun during the day and there are sun loungers to use, the deck is large and great when you need some shade. The lounge has a smart tv /dvd player with dvd's and books to enjoy. The salt pool is just a few steps from the villa - less than 10 steps. \*Please note - there is a 13 years and over age limit for this property The setting is so quiet and peaceful, the beach is slightly away from the main resorts in Muri so when you walk on to the beach from the Villa it feels like you have the island to yourself! The pool is just half a dozen steps from the deck, while it is shared it is large and usually not being used. it has been planted out with lush tropical plants so is private and a great spot to relax, read or swim. There is a total of 3/4's of an acre of lawns and landscaped areas including our private beach area which is all for you to enjoy! our private setting is one of the last in Muri that hasn't been built out with multiple units or turned in to a hotel -which is why we are so popular! There are numerous cafes, restaurants, delis, hotels and resorts, the muri night market and car/scooter hire all a short walk from the villa - our guests give the Villa 5 stars for it's location ! A car can be hired either on arrival or pre ordered and collected at the airport. there is a great bus service that runs the circumference of the island every 45 mins. Scooters and bicycles are also common modes of transport and we can help to recommend either. The beach has pure white sand and there is excellent snorkelling and kayaking directly off the beach access or we can help with other spots around the island to explore !

It was as nice as depicted and the proximity to the beach was great. Our hosts were organized and helpful so the check-in process was hassle-free. I made the mistake of reserving the property a day short of our actual flight departure and didn't notice it until I got a call from the hostess who let me know. Then she offered a last-minute, extra day's rental that saved my bacon. The place is well maintained and we had a great stay! ##### Liz K.

The snorkell & masks were provided along with the reef shoes which was great. Amazing fish & so many different types. The insect screens were great. The fresh drinking water provided was great as you can’t drink the tap water. The lemon loaf left for us in the fridge was so kind . Thank you so much, Jenny Lea ##### Jenny L.

Don't like all the signs up in every room telling us what we can't do, feel there are too many. The notice about the pool even states "Please note if you have friends or family or other visitors staying elsewhere they are not allowed onsite or to use the Pool, Kayaks or Beach areas." I get not using the shared facilities but "not allowed onsite" is a contradiction to what it says on the advert where is states a minimum of 4 visitors. ##### Debra M.

Great to have two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and having a kitchen was great for doing your own breakfasts etc. House had everything we needed and loved the fruit, slice, fresh cut flowers and water on arrival. So close to the beach and we spent plenty of time in the pool. Nice quiet end of Muri beach, so location was perfect. Lovely gardens and friendly staff. Enjoyed chatting with other people staying in other baches on the property. Walking distance to night markets, bakeries and restaurants. We hired a car for the last 3 days to explore the Island a bit more. Nautilus Resort is just next door, so you can pop over anytime for a drink or snack, and the massages were great too!

Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication #### Great location but neighbors had nightly parties Easy access to coffee shops, night market, etc. unit provides everything you need. Loved having a washing machine & line for drying. somehow we were under the impression our unit was on the beach. Didn’t know the property is on the beach side but the unit we were in was 3 houses back from the lagoon. It was fine, just a short walk, but was expecting ocean views. We did run out of hot water, called the manager 3 days in a row with no answer. After the 3rd day of cold water we asked the others renting the front house if they had hot water issues, they told us about a hot water booster switch, We had no idea it was there… that same day the manager finally responded via message through vrbo about the hot water switch. The unit is a duplex and perfect for a family with two children. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need for preparing meals. If you don’t cook on Teflon, consider bringing your own frying pans. Lots of towels, etc. bedrooms are upstairs and face a few neighborhood homes, unfortunately the neighbors would start singing and playing loud music around 10 pm until 2-3 am. Bring ear plugs! Having use of the kayaks and snorkeling gear was amazing! We spent nearly everyday on a kayak at some point. The lagoon is just incredible. The location of the property is perfect because you’re not in the middle of the hotels and resorts. You’re right on the edge of all the congestion. Walking via the beach right next door for breakfast at Nautilus resort was perfect. Loved it! ##### Mahealani W. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle O.

The pool is lovely if you didn’t want to spend time in the beautiful lagoon waters. The roosters did drive us nuts but that’s all part of Rarotonga lifestyle. ##### Michelle O.
