Authentic Polynesian Beachfront Home!

Step into Otaha Beach House, a redesigned Polynesian home set on the sand in Maharepa. Two master suites with AC face the lagoon, and the open living room lets in the sea breeze. Enjoy a modern kitchen, new lighting, and direct access to the beach and shared private dock. Shops and restaurants are a short walk away, plus kayaks and a paddleboard are included. The space This redesigned Polynesian beachfront home has been beautifully refreshed with a modern island aesthetic, new lighting, upgraded electrical work, quality furnishings, and a calm, contemporary atmosphere. The home, which once belonged to my father Jay Carlisle, was originally built by one of three American pioneers who moved to Moorea in 1959 and later became known as the iconic Bali Hai Boys. They are credited with inventing the overwater bungalow, and the original Bali Hai Hotel they created is now the Manava Beach Resort and Spa. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined without losing its original spirit. Two master suites sit at opposite ends of the house, offering privacy, comfort, and unobstructed views of the lagoon. Both suites are air conditioned and designed to bring the natural beauty of Moorea into the room. The living room opens completely toward the garden and the lagoon, allowing the sea breeze to flow through the home. It is equipped with a ceiling fan instead of AC, which keeps the space airy and comfortable when the large doors are open. The kitchen and living areas are bright, open, and newly redesigned for comfort and ease. Guests have direct access to the beach and a private dock shared only with the two neighboring homes. The property is within walking distance of Maharepa village where you will find a bakery, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and local activities. Guest access You will have full access to the entire home, the beach area in front, and the dock. Please note that the dock is a shared private space used only by this home and the two neighboring houses. For your stay we include one double kayak for two people, one single kayak, and one stand up paddleboard. Other things to note There is No AC in the living room.
