Tay St Beach Vibes house, 5-min stroll to beach

This is the perfect location for a family holiday - summer or escaping winter.
The beautiful sandy beach of Mount Maunganui is a 5 minute stroll away. Check out the famous surf, enjoy a relaxing beach walk, walk around and/or up the Mount (Mauao) or explore the shops, cafes and bars.
The sports ground "Blake Park" is located at the end of the street, so very close if you have sports events in the area. So, our beach house is waiting for you to make memories at.

What an absolutely wonderful place to stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property was spotlessly clean, the kitchen beautifully well-stocked with everything you could need, and the beds comfortable for a perfect night's sleep.The location couldn't be better — just a leisurely 6-minute walk to the most beautiful beach and a fantastic coffee shop, with town and shops all close by.But what truly made this stay so special were the hosts. Warm, caring, and so easy to communicate with — they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after.We will absolutely be coming back. Highly, highly recommended!

Helen and Bryan were very welcoming and their property is immaculately presented. Everything was clean and in really good condition, with some great little touches such as beach gear (and a wagon to transport it!), plus a bar of “check-in chocolate”. This is truly a great spot for a family stay close to the lovely Mount Maunganui beach.

Great stay! The house was very comfortable and well equipped, and the location was excellent. It was very kid-friendly, which made our stay even better. We loved the short strolls to the beach and how complete the house was, everything we needed was there. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout our stay. We would happily return!

Aloha Maunganui!

This was a tremendous stay in Maunganui! Everything the property owners promised were available and the house was very clean and well maintained. From the carpeted garage to the air conditioners in each living space, the house was comfortable as advertised. We also enjoyed the outdoor space and had the chance to use the gas grill which made a great meal! The location was ideal, just off the main streets and truly a 5-minute walk from the beach. Helen and Bryan communicated so well prior, during, and even after our stay to make sure our stay went smoothly. We all recommended this beautiful and well located property for a stay to anyone considering the Maunganui/Tauranga area for your next magical visit to Aotearoa!Mahalo for the great stay!

Satisfaction Guaranteed

This House is very nice, modern, clean and comfortable. The location is a 5 min walk to the Beach and very popular Tay St Coffee Shop. This beautiful house exceeded our expectations. We will definitely book it again and recommend it to our friends and family. One very small correction that could help is the VRBO location which calls the house TAY STREET BEACH VIBE when in fact it's on Valley Rd.
