Welcome to our light, modern, comfortable home with an outdoor seating area and fully fenced backyard. All the modern conveniences are here and such a great location to both beaches - surf and harbour, shops, golf courses, hot pools, cafes and restaurants. 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.

My family and I spent 10 days at this property with a mix of work and holiday activity. It was perfectly set up for what we needed and created a wonderful family environment. Helen was a phenomenal host, happy to help with anything we needed. 10/10 experience!
We enjoyed our stay here while working in Tauranga, the hosts are very easy to deal with and communicate very well.
Would highly recommend staying here in the future.
We had a few needs for our stay (e.g. fully fenced with two young children, no stairs, not on busy road, etc). Helen’s house ticked all the boxes and was very conveniently located for us to enjoy all Mount Maunganui and surrounds has to offer. The property was very neatly presented and Helen responded quickly when we needed to get in touch. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing family holiday in Mount Maunganui. Thank you, Helen!

If you are looking for a property that is homely and comfortable with great communications from the owner and plenty lots of the convenience of home items, this is the perfect place. We felt super comfortable here and slept well in quiet location with comfy beds.
Helen was a great host. She responded right away and gave clear instructions for getting into the property. The house met all our needs, was whisper quiet, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The water pressure in the showers was great. The sofas were all lazy boy style.
The house is located 2 blocks from the beach, which has a couple of good cafes and a patrolled beach with changing facilities. It's not right in the central area, however it's only about a 30 min walk to the Mount. There are shops and cafes on the main road, about a 5-10min walk. The town has loads of scooters around and the house had 1 bike, though we didn't use it.

The property was as described on the Stayz website, but was much higher quality than we anticipated. The host was wonderful with communication and the house was beautifully appointed. We didn't get to utilise the lovely outdoors areas as the weather was not condusive to this, but it did not deter us from enjoying every comfort the house provided.

We love staying at the Tay Street Beach Vibes house. It is so close to the beach, downtown Mount and Blake park. The Mount is a beautiful place I would recommend everyone visit and the house was very cosy, clean and well equipped. Highly recommend and hope to book it again ourselves one day.
We had a wonderful stay at Helens place, it was well equiped and very clean. The location was perfect for us we would definitely like to come again and highly recommend.
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! Your new friends from Hawaii
This is a wonderful home in an excellent location. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay and we loved it. The house is immaculate. Everything is just perfect!
We enjoyed our stay here. It was clean, tidy, and good heating to keep us warm in the winter month that we stayed. Great location close to everything… no complaints at all. Property owner left us welcoming gifts and was always on hand if we had any queries. Will return.
We had an amazing week in Tauranga and this property is just amazing, great location, a true home away from home. Thank you Helen and Bryan, you have a fantastic place.
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.
Place was clean and tidy. 10 mins walk to the beach. Our daughter enjoyed the puzzles and beach toys. 2 minute drive to supermarket and shops. Good showers. Internal access to the garage. Racks to hang clothes on. Fully equipped kitchen with large fridge.
The home is exactly as described, very fresh, up-to-date and super clean. We loved the ten minute walk to the amazing beach and the general vibe of the area, as well as the ability to simply hang out and read in the lovely back yard. Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone.

Une maison très agréable, de belles chambres et pièces à vivre. Proche de la plage et du centre commercial. Une propriétaire très accueillante et joignable . Une belle adresse à recommander !
We had a great stay with our children and the grandparents. House had everything we needed and suited us well. Nice short walk to the beach next to the lifeguard tower. Supermarket also a walk or short drive away!

We have a big family and love spending time together. The beach is our favourite place, as we both love swimming, beach walks, nature, relaxing, biking and food.
Why they chose this property
We love Mount Maunganui and have been visiting family here for over 20 years. The surf and the walks are awesome!
What makes this property unique
A 5-minute stroll to Tay St beach and cafe is our highlight! There are so many beautiful walks and the views around the Mount and Pilot Bay are just gorgeous. Being close to shops and restaurants is an added attraction.
