About this house rental

PLEASE NOTE OUR CANCELLATION POLICY. THERE IS $1,000.00 DUE UPON BOOKING WHICH IS NON-REFUNDABLE. THE LAST PAYMENT IS DUE TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL AND IS ALSO NON-REFUNDABLE. HOWEVER, IF I CAN FIND ANOTHER CLIENT TO TAKE ALL OR SOME OF THAT RESERVED SPACE, I WILL REFUND ALL OR PART OF THE SECOND PAYMENT... PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS LONGER THAN ANYONE AT THE COMPLEX... WE HAVE THE ONLY THREE OVER WATER BUNGALOWS WITH FULL AIR CONDITIONING, new appliances and DOUBLE KAYAK! Extra housekeeping available. COMPARE OUR RATES TO THE RESORTS. The owners of the Black Pearl Over Water Bungalow and Brando's Bora Bora Bungalow are proud to present the newly remodeled Marlon's Over Water Hideaway... Right next door to his other one. A gorgeous covered terrace, overlooking the lagoon and palm covered islands, just a few hundred yards away, is fully furnished with quality outdoor furniture. NOW WITH FREE NETFLIX! Here you can enjoy many wonderful hours -- reading a good book, marveling at the natural beauty of the area, or just doing nothing. If you wish to take a dip in the warm waters, nothing could be simpler. Just go down four steps on your private dock and dive in. Right there you can snorkel for hours, check out the thousands of colorful fish in and around the coral reef, or just lie on the beach under a palm tree, while sipping a Tahitian punch. We can help set up tours for you: Authentic Tahitian Motu picnics, Polynesian weddings, Jet skis, shark and manta ray feed, sunset sailing, scuba diving, island jeep and snorkeling tours, even a tattoo with a Tahitian master!
PLEASE NOTE: Because we have kept our prices the same for the last five years, we will be raising our rates after February 1st, 2016... Any bookings made before that date will receive the existing rates... We have tried to keep our rates the same, but operating costs have become too expensive and we must adjust to ever rising prices.
Additional Information: As the owners of the very popular Black Pearl Over Water Bungalow in Bora Bora, we can't tell you how excited we are to offer, for the first time, Marlon Brando's historic Over Water Bungalows for vacation rentals. We have remodeled the bungalow to meet the needs of our sophisticated travelers and it is beautiful. Marlon Brando owned two bungalows, one for him and one for his friends. We have purchased both. Marlon's over water hideaway is the perfect location for snorkeling, walking hiking and swimming. Paradise surrounds you. If you need help with rental cars, international or domestic flights, we can help with that too. We have many returnees and we are confident that this will be your vacation of a lifetime! Our rates are very affordable, especially if you've checked out the prices of some of the 4 and 5 star hotels on the island. Our home is a true travel bargain. Please reserve early as high season books up fast.

Car Rental: You will need a car. Other options are carts, bikes, taxi and water taxi (Not always available).
Please note: Contact our manager directly for Car Rentals. Nir's rates for his 'Client cars' are far below the rental car places on the island.

Trip, Airline, Hotel and Car Assistance!!!: We would be pleased and happy to help you with your entire trip to paradise. We can arrange your International Flights to Tahiti on any applicable carrier, as well as your Inter-Island Flights on Air Tahiti.

Being in BoraBora was absolute paradise. The host and his wife were most gracious and our Nir and Tiare were helpful with any questions we had. I can not say enough about this dreamy bungalow. We feel so blessed to experience this journey and make friends along the way. You cannot go wrong with this most wonderful home in paradise! Perfect spot on the island and the sunsets are amazing!

It was a lovely relaxing 2 week vacation for us. We loved the over the water bungalow. It had a full kitchen where we can cook our own meals. The place has a ceiling fan and 3 air conditioners to keep the place cool. The nearest town, Vaitape, is about a 16 minute drive, where there are restaurants and grocery stores. You do need a car to get around. The bungalow is located in the northern part of the island. It is kind of secluded. We have an unobstructed view of the lagoon. We swam and snorkel off our deck. And watched kayakers race in the lagoon. In the evenings, we watched the beautiful sunsets. There is a double kayak on the deck. We didn’t use it because it required two strong people to move it in and out of the water. A couple of times during our stay, tour buses would stop in front of our bungalow. We guess Marlon Brando’s ex-bungalow is still a tourist attraction. The property manager, Nir, got us a rental car at a reasonable rate. He was very helpful during our stay. The owner, Richard, was responsive to our queries as well. Think of the bungalow as a nice home stay. It does not have the amenities of a luxury 5-star resort.

The place is wonderful and very cozy/comfortable. A few things show some wear but not detracting from our stay at all. Ac is in both bedrooms and main living area. The place stays nice a cool. We saw stingrays swimming under the bungalow!Nir and his wife were very helpful. Be sure to rent a car from them. It’s needed to get around on the island.We would definitely rent again- and plan to in the next couple of years.
