Had a great time with friends.

House was large enough to house four couples with room to have private time. Checkin was easy with a wonderful recommendation for an inexpensive good restaurant across the street. Loads of things to do pool, ping pong, foos ball, kayaks, paddle boards, fins and masks. Would highly recommended.

Cook bay house

We were 3 families with kids aged from 4 to 11. We had an amazing time. The house has a great location as you have can go to beaches, hiking start (belvedere) within less than 20min. Vue from the house is awesome as it's on the bay and has a direct access to the beach that we enjoyed a lot. Warm welcome from the owner. We'll definitely come again.

Lovely stay in a true "South Pacific" heaven!

Loved this home and all the outdoor spaces. Kayaking in Cook Bay was great and appreciated the functioning washing machine!! Close-by shopping, even some just across the street. Parking a little hairy as the sharp turn off the road - but mastered it well before our departure. I would highly recommend this home!! Thank you!!

Location Location Location.The rental was right on cooks bay. The shallow water was perfect for our 4 year old.There is a small grocery store walking distance, maybe 4 min walk.Aiden was extremely helpful when we needed things. Bottled water was available throughout our stay.In general, the house was a little dated which is not really shown in the pictures. We had some problems with the kitchen sink draining the first day which Aiden took care of right away.The TV downstairs didn’t work so we had to bring the tv from upstairs down. That tv was slow on loading apps such as Netflix.There is no shower upstairs. Only a tub with a handheld.Some of the windows upstairs didn’t close all the way which let bugs in.Also, the steps to the back patio are a little difficult to see. We had a 70 old fall and a couple of other close calls. Be prepared for mosquitoes if you visit in May. We had 2 days of heavy rain which probably didn’t help the mosquito situation.All and all, we would definitely come back. The view from the backyard is truly magnificent.

The best of Cook’s Bay

Incredible huge home on the best location that Cook’s bay has to offer. We were a large group of 9 and had everything we could possible want. The A/C in all the bedrooms worked flawlessly. Jean Marie, the host, was there to greet us upon arrival and couldn’t have been nicer. Fortunately he allowed us a late check out since we had a ferry to catch at 5 pm. We’ve stayed at a couple of other well known villas on Cooks bay in the past but this was by far our favorite. We’ve been to Mo’orea a dozen times so we knew what was available. Don;t hesitate to book this incredible villa.

Mission Moorea was a success

We were a group of experienced travelers and had an amazing week long holiday at this beautiful home. Everything you could possibly need was close to the house. We cooked several dinners and the BBQ and kitchen were great. The home was large with plenty of space to socialize or have a quiet moment to yourself. The AC worked perfectly and kept all the bedrooms nice and cold for sleeping. Great outdoor space to just take in all the beautiful scenery. The outdoor shower was also a highlight. We were all sad to leave this magical home in a spectacular setting.

A beautiful well appointed facility

Our family was very large 12 adults , 4 children & a baby. The house was well appointed and we all had more than adequate rooms/beds for sleeping. The games tables & outdoor gear was outstanding. We would have liked the swimming from property to be better but it was only a short drive to spectacular beaches. Well done to Monique & Aiden - great result

Magical Moorea

We had a wonderful time in Moorea at Our Cook Bay House. The house is beautifully situated on Cook’s Bay and the layout of the house, beach area, and dock are perfect. We had breakfast and coffee on the dock every morning with spectacular mountain views. We used the kayaks and paddle boards, finding beautiful fish, rays, and nurse sharks in the bay. The hosts are incredibly gracious. I rate the experience a 10/10!

We had the best family vacation here. The house is huge and well-appointed. The views from the house out to, and around, Cook's Bay are mind blowing. The location couldn't be better. We cycled to the grocery store, walked across the street for delicious and inexpensive food. We lived every bit of it. Monique was attentive and responsive. I doubt you can do better on moorea.

By far, our two week stay at the Gooding House was the best stay we have ever experienced. 3 generations of our family had the most amazing time there celebrating my husband and my anniversary, and rang in the new year. The house was perfect with excellent amenities. There were so many different spaces to chill out and enjoy the most stunning views from the dock, private beach, and on both floors. You can snorkel right off the private beach. The house is stocked with water toys, games, ping pong, foosball, billiard table. Clean, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of parking. Mangoes, avocado, coconut trees, a true oasis. Monique was very helpful with all my questions before we arrived. She went on vacation so Aiden welcomed us and he was such a wonderful host, so friendly and helpful (and very funny). He helped us get tickets for a fantastic boat trip for 21 people. We have traveled and stayed at many places, and this by far is our favorite, bar none. Highly recommend! Thank you Aiden for your hospitality and making our stay so magical!

Another magical time on Cooks Bay

We visited this property just eight months ago and were so taken by the property (and Moorea in general) that we came back for a second round within the year! This time we were two families with four children 8-12 plus two grandparents. The house was perfect for our group -- we knew it would be. Incredible views, a great dock and tons of water toys to paddle in the bay, fish and sharks and rays cruising by off the dock, easy access to all of the rest of the island via taxis... couldn't ask for more. For us northerners, the AC in the bedrooms is also critical. Just an awesome place -- thank you for sharing it with us again Monique and Jean!

Wonderful Place and Location

You won't be disappointed. The location on Cook's Bay is great and near restaurants and stores, unlike other spots on the island. The dock is a treat and watching the sharks and rays swimming by at night is something to see. Being deep in the bay has an advantage for watersports, in that, the wind is worse as you head out of the bay. AC in each of the bedrooms is a bonus. Two awesome beaches less than 10 minutes away by car or scooter. And the supermarket is about 4 minutes away. Perfect place to stay. Be sure to rent a car at the ferry and enjoy the island!

Nailed it

Every other review is completely accurate. Amazing location, amazing amount of space, fantastic amenities for families (and family time). Our group was two families of four and everyone thought it was a fantastic vacation. We had a small issue one evening with one of the ACs not turning on, I messaged the host and 10 minutes later (late at night) he was there to show us how easy it was to fix (our ignorance...).

Best Birthday Celebration Location!

This place was AMAZING!!! Adrian the host welcomed us at the house with leis for the whole group. As soon as you open the door to this property you are in awe. It was beautiful! The rooms were comfortable and clean. Every room upstairs had a view of the water. The view was out of this world. I can't say enough about how great this place was. The air conditioners were great on those really hot days. Again, Adrian was so amazing from giving us rides to the grocery store to sending some of us off at the airport. To even Monique baking me a cake for my birthday. Just incredible people. I would stay here again 100 times and highly recommend this to anyone staying in Moorea.

Great Stay

Outstanding place for a family vacation. The location is perfect. Our granddaughter loved all the sea life right off the dock, and morning coffee view off the deck was a favorite for my wife snd I. The house is well equipped. The kitchen is set up with everything you would need. There is plenty of sports equipment for use during you stay. Our kids, old and young enjoyed the gaming tables, especially the ping pong table. It stayed busy in the evenings. Although it is not absolutely necessary, a car is nice to have on Moorea, but groceries and takeout are close by and accessible with the three wheel bikes. The best part of the stay was the great service by the hosts Monique and Aiden. They saved us a number of times. Thank You! You won’t go wrong staying at their fantastic home.

One Moment In Time

Morrea is the most beautiful island we have ever seen and Cooks Bay captured the breathtaking beauty from every direction. The exterior living space of this home is what drew our interest in renting, and it was more than we dreamed of. You can’t help but to feel happy when you see these views, private beach and Morning coffee on the dock. All of your water toys are right here to enjoy. As planned, when we were at the home, we were outside. (Neither of us ever saw a mosquito.) We only used the main level but were surprised to see the three bedrooms upstairs with ample space for so many more to enjoy. Thank you for your generous hospitality and attention to detail for our needs.
