Huahine Iti accommodation

Excellent place to stay

Great property, as advertised, directly on a sandy beach and within walking distance of restaurants and a grocery store. Owners accessible but not obtrusive. A great choice vs the resort directly next to the property!

Worst lodging value of our trip - and it wasn’t even close View is lovely and Josephine was terrific and helpful As for the bungalow… it is in dire need of an upgrade. The cupboards, closets, kitchen and bath must date to the 60s. Other than coats of paint, not sure what maintenance is being done. There are only 2 working lights in total - none in the kitchen or at the bedside for reading. The toilet runs after every flush and we eventually ran out of hot water. The online photos are deceptive. The property is not on the water but rather 100 ft up and 100 ft back behind a driveway and row of houses. The private” access is a 10 ft wide passage between other houses leading a kayak launch and rocky shore. There is no beach and swimming would be difficult given how shallow the water is - best for kyaking really Lastly is the unpleasant and unaccommodating host. We booked, paid and confirmed our 3 day stay on VRBO - then booked our flights accordingly. 2 days later the host wrote that our 3rd day was taken by another booking ( turns out she is also on another site and doesn’t update them both in time) When we asked if we could pay for just the two nights that remained, she said no because there was a 3 day minimum!!! Remember this was her fault and we already had our flights booked. In the end we paid 3 nights for 2, in a tired, and uncharming space. Sorry to dump but we were very disappointed with the lack of quality and value
