    Bungalow Two - Marlon's World Famous Over Water Hideaway in Bora Bora!

    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 KAYAKS! 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 and gas barbecue. 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.

    What a great spot this place was! Lots of sea life and a short ride to the grocery store, etc. The property manager is very helpful and friendly. The snorkeling is fantastic, and along with multiple types of reef fish, we saw octopus, rays, reef sharks (on an excursion), eels, and jelly fish. We will definitely be back!

    Great property for my family of 4. Host was great they gave us a phone and we rented a car from them. We saw sting rays, sea turtles, and fish on the deck. Full kitchen and AC in every room. Watched some nice sunsets.They had great communication with arriving and leaving they allowed us to check in on arrival at 9am and leave at 4pm. It also included a 2 person kayak some floating things and snorkel gear. If we go back it will be here.

    Quiet and Enjoyable
    The property managers Nir and Tiare were awesome and very attentive to our needs. A cell phone is provided for communication purposes, and they recommended a restaurant that featured a Polynesian show. The location is fairly central between Vaitape and Matira Beach. Just make sure you have a car. The water pressure and temperature was great. There is plenty of room for two couples, but one bathroom was kind of an issue. We got by with the kitchen tools and dishes, but there could have been more options. Included spices and kitchen staples are minimal. Be prepared to purchase everything needed to prepare your own meals. The appliances worked fine, but there is no dishwasher. There is a clothes washer, but we didn’t use it. The amenities in the bathroom were also minimal. If you want to be able to wash your hair, you will need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Soap is provided, but there is no soap dish or body wash. The air conditioning worked very well and kept the rooms as cool as we wanted them to be. The deck area is in the shade, and the dock that goes into the water, which is in the sun most of the day, is very small. If sitting or lying in the sun is your thing, you will have to go to a beach. If you are looking for a 5 star resort, this is not it. However, it is a very reasonably priced bungalow option with lots of privacy. Watching the fish, swimming, and snorkeling without leaving the property is a definite plus! We had a blast here!

    This property was amazing!! The pictures don’t do it justice. We had the best vacation ever in Bora Bora and will hopefully go back soon. The hosts were great and provided us with all the information we needed before we arrived and the place is perfect for a couple or a family of 4. It was just my fiancée and I and we had lots of space. The place was clean. You will need a car to help you get around the island.

    These bungalows are not part of a resort, so if you are looking for a resort style vacation, this is not for you. These bungalows are located on the north end of the island and most activities are located on the south end so a car is required. Some excursion companies will pick you up tho (by car or boat). The porch is perfect for enjoying dinner and the sunset. This bungalow is equipped with a kitchen and a washer (no dryer). You can snorkel and swim right off the porch area. Kayak available as well. The caretaker was very helpful in providing a rental car (at a much lower cost than Avis) and local cell phone for use around the island.

    Great stay in Bungalow 2
    Bungalow 2 is a 2 bedroom bungalow on the north end of the main island across the water from the airport. Richard (owner/host) and Nir (property manager) were both excellent to work with and offer great recommendations for places to eat, tours, etc. Nir was so nice and very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. He is a pleasure to talk to and got us a discount on an awesome family-run snorkeling tour where we snorkeled with reef fish, black tip sharks and stingrays, eagle rays, manta rays, and lemon sharks. They even picked us up at the bungalow. He can also help you arrange a rental car, which you'll need. The bungalow is private, spacious, and well equipped. It's clean, comfortable, and looks just like the pictures. We loved the covered outdoor deck and easy access to the water with snorkeling right off the dock. The main island is relatively small so it's easy to get anywhere on the island in a 1/2 hour or less. We loved having the overwater bungalow experience at a fraction of the resort prices - having money to dine out, do a tour and enjoy a day pass at a nice resort. Also, the food on the main island is much more affordable with great options. Be sure to go to Matira beach - a long, beautiful, walkable beach on the south end of the island with great sunsets, good snorkeling, beautiful turquoise water, and several good food options. This was our first trip to Bora Bora and we loved it. Such a beautiful place with warm, friendly people. Thank you for a memorable stay!

    Nice bungalow, needs some TLC
    This bungalow is exactly as listed and the owners are very good with communication. The location is good for privacy but you only get sun in the afternoon on the small dock. The overall feel was great but it could do with a few upgrades such as new mattress and sheets. We stayed 8 days and could have used a change of sheets and newer towels. Bora Bora is beautiful and this was a good way to get an OWB without paying resort prices.

    We had such a magical stay at the over water bungalow. Nir was a wonderful resource and helped us book lots of activities. It was so fun being picked up by an outrigger right from our deck.

    This property was amazing! It was on the water facing the sunset every night. It was quiet, beautiful, and unique. The contact person, Nir, was amazing and easy to get ahold of and helped plan excursions. We are already looking to plan another trip.
