A Lovely Introduction to Tahiti
The house was modern (with an induction stove!), clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Great pool and patio area. The bedrooms were all roomy and had AC split units (but the main living, common areas did not). Coming from Hawaii, we were familiar with tropical environs though Tahiti was hotter and much more humid perhaps because it lacked the trade winds that help cool Hawaii. Interestingly, despite the large presence of mosquitoes and other topical critters, we noticed there were no screens on doors and windows on any houses we saw, including this one, so we generally kept the windows and doors closed and relied on the AC to keep the house comfortable. Also, the dining table was outside on the lanai which caused everyone to apply insect repellent at mealtime to protect against mosquito bites. Last observation is that the house is located on a ridge pretty far up and back from the highway in an upscale neighborhood so it was a bit of a jog to go anywhere, even to the store, with a plethora of speed bumps to contend with going up and down the hill in our small, underpowered rental car. Again, this is not by way of complaint but simply observation. We enjoyed our stay there.
