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 bungalow for vacation rentals. We 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. Both Brando's Bora Bora Bungalow and Marlon's over water hideaway are 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!

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.

Our expectations for this bungalow were very high and were fulfilled in every way. The property managers were so helpful in providing a car rental and transfer from the ferry terminal. The view was sensational across the lagoon to the sunset and passing outriggers.

Renting the car from Nir was hassle free. Highly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again. ##### Mugdha G. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia P.

We were here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the spaciousness and comfort of the bungalow, snorkeling off the deck, watching the sunrise and sunsets, lounging on the deck. Communication was great. Would stay again in a heartbeat. ##### Claudia P. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carey J.

Property and property manager were magical—a beautiful stay from beginning to end. No big resort over-water bungalow pretensions, instead, we had freedom to see all of Bora Bora (by renting a car from Nir), help with logistics and activities planning (thanks Nir and Tiare!), and sublime times snorkeling, floating, cooking, and relaxing in the bungalow. Loved this stay!!! ##### Carey J. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary B.

It had everything we wanted, especially wonderful views from the balcony and ability to jump in and out of the gorgeous waters whenever we wanted. Not being in a resort allowed us to really experience the island life in Bora Bora. The manager, Nir, was extremely helpful with everything from renting us a car to reserving lagoon tours and restaurants. Highly recommended if you want a down to earth experience in paradise. ##### Stephen H.

We enjoyed the location at the north of the island, as we felt more of a local vibe. We definitely needed the car to get around, and Nir and Tiare made the client car easy and reasonably priced. Bora Bora is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and I plan to return someday in the future. ##### Shawnna B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lu W.

The hosts Nir and Tiare were so great and very accommodating, even picking us up from the port and allowing us to rent their vehicle (which is a must). The location was perfect and the bungalow exceeded our expectations. Getting used to the business hours in town and restaurants were a little tricky but overall everlasting memories were made and would not hesitate to return to Bora Bora and stay here again. ##### Derek K.

Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Bora Bora gem of peace and tranquility! From the moment we booked we have been delighted with the care owners and the managers have offered us. We were so looked after. The bungalow had all we needed and more. The rooms and beds were comfy and easy to maintain a comfortable temperature. The deck is so spacious it’s like having a whole extra room. We had a great girls trip to celebrate a milestone birthday and this was a spectacular place to do it. Nir and Tiare really got the extra mile to communicate and organize almost any activity or meet any need with genuine friendliness. This was one of the most delightful places I have stayed and much of it was due to their hospitality. I will surely recommend to friends and family. ##### Sarah W. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### whitney v. Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely beautiful We loved our stay here. The managers were very helpful, communicative, and friendly. Check in was easy and the view was incredible. Bora Bora was our favorite island and none of our stays compared to this one. Our only complaint was the lack of snorkeling off the dock, and not many fish to look at (not the fault of the owners,) and we were not able to use the kayak as far as we would have liked because one of the oars was broken. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. ##### whitney v. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam B. Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A rare gem Nir was absolutely wonderful to work with, helped coordinate shuttles to and from the airport, hooked us up with an inexpensive rental car and gave the best recommendations for activities and food while visiting. The bungalow was stunning and everything we dreamt about while staying here. Beautiful sunset right off our own private dock, great snorkeling steps away and access to all the fun of the island. Highly recommend if you don't have celebrity money to spend at a resort. Maaruuru!! ##### Sam B. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### deborah k.

Our recommendation would be to add a blender. Wr would have brought one had the description not said there was one in the bungalow. Overall, hardly worth mentioning but if you plan on morning smoothies bring a blender. Wonderful placento celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! Thanks Richard and Tiera you both were amazing to work with. ##### deborah k. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff S. Jan 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing overwater bungalow Truly amazing location and only one of five overwater bungalows on the main island of Bora Bora. The booking process was great with Richard and when we arrived, Nir and Tiare were available for any questions and help we needed. Stepping off the private deck into the water never got old and we had fun snorkeling around the area. The area was very quiet and peaceful, but there were a few roosters within earshot so be prepared with earplugs if that wakes you up. The kitchen had all the essentials you'd need to prepare meals which was perfect for us. We can't wait to return! ##### Jeff S. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joy t. Sep 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heaven! I spent a week in Bungalow one with two of my best friends and we absolutely loved it and were so sad to leave! The bungalow itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped and its location offers privacy and freedom that you don't or won't necessarily get at the much more expensive resorts. We spent many hours snorkeling in the "backyard" ocean and saw a variety of fish, sea cucumbers, and even a few rays. We also spent many hours in the back patio listening to music, playing cards, reading, eating, and watching the boats go by and the sunset! When we did want or need to venture away from the bungalow, being able to easily and cheaply rent a car from Nir allowed us the feeedom to shop for groceries, go to restaurants, and explore the island. I highly recommend renting this bungalow if you want to have more space and freedom and spend significatly less than you would for an overwater bungalow at any of the local resorts! ##### joy t.

We stayed there for three weeks and it felt realy like home for us. That was actually purpose of choosing this bungalow over hotels and resorts. The bungalow has everything you need for longer or shorter stay. Particularly the wash mashine was very useful, and full kitschen equipment as well. Staying in bungalow you need a car, than you can enjoy visiting Vaitape, Matira beach and lot of restaurants. I recomend Beach club for amaizing sunsets, El Gecko and St. James. For Car Rental and for everything you need ask Nir. It was pleasure to meet him and his beautiful family and to visit his spectacular home. Dear Nir, thank you for everything. Also booking process and payment was very simple. We got all of the information from Richard, so we had no problems at all, everything was done as agreed. We wish we can visit Bora Bora every year, but its to far from Switzerland, nevertheless we hope to come back as soon as possible.

Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We were pleased with the unit, just didn't realize it was so close to the main road but since Bora Bora only has one main road I guess it was inevitable! The bungalows were nice but a bit old. The deck was spacious and covered but if you wanted to lay in the sun at all it had to be on the small deck with the ladder leading to the water. It was only about 15 minutes from down town so that was nice. Over all our stay was restful and very nice. Our host arranged a snorkle / lunch tour and they picked us up right at our dock. ##### Linda B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Satish M.

The big bonus is the kayak for the guest use!! ##### Satish M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefanie A. Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a fantastic stay at the bungalows! Our group of seven rented both two-bedroom units and found them to be spacious and comfortable. The location offers a relaxed, local vibe while still being conveniently close to town. A rental car is definitely recommended—and can be arranged if needed.We spent a lot of time enjoying the patio and swim area, where we saw an abundance of sea life. The double kayaks were a great bonus and added to the experience.Nir and his wife were incredibly helpful and always quick to respond, and the owner, Richard, was also very easy to communicate with.For anyone interested in diving, we highly recommend booking a dive with Hiro, located just down the road. Overall, a wonderful stay and we'd gladly return! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a10f1579-ab8f-413d-8485-71de30c8e2fb-1759950989113.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d990d5b-68e8-4a6e-8297-7537ea972f61-1759950989413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09c85a7a-eb49-4fe7-846a-79731f54405c-1759950990264.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stefanie A.
