Once upon a time there were 3 USC graduates from Newport Beach, CA that went to Tahiti to escape the rat-race. They were known as the “Bali Hai Boys”. Long story short – they ended up staying, founding a chain of resorts – Bali Hai Hotels, inventing the overwater bungalow used by many top resorts and raising families with beautiful local Tahitian “vahines”. One of these fabled men was Hugh Kelley and you now have the opportunity to rent his family beachouse. 2 minutes away from shopping center. The layout of the house is ideal for the perfect tropical getaway for a family, 2 couples or a “boys” or “girls” only getaway with 2 master suites separated by the main living, dining and kitchen areas for privacy. You will have the entire beach front house set right on our private beach. Maharepa is situated on the north shore of Moorea and is usually refered to as the main village or small town but also the posh area of the island. This one-of-a-kind beach house is within walking distance of the village of Maharepa, where you will find banks, French Bakery, grocery store and local shops for souvenir shopping. Local excursions, diving, fishing, private island picnics, stingray feeding or almost any other tropical activity you can imagine are easily arranged at the activity center across the street. Garage parking available on property. Once upon a time there were 3 USC graduates from Newport Beach, CA that went to Tahiti to escape the rat-race. They were known as the “Bali Hai Boys”.

So idyllic is the location of this house, that it was during a stay here that singer Jimmy Buffet was inspired to pen the song “One Particular Harbor”! Swaying coconut palms, views of the turquoise lagoon, private beach, scent of tropical flowers and the whisper of the waves on the distant reef…really paradise, with all of the modern conveniences that we cannot live without.
