The car provided by Nir is a must and made grocery shopping and exploration of the island so easy. Loved having a full kitchen at this extremely clean property. Sunsets so lovely and jumping into the water to cool off divine - lots of sea life. Tis a little slice of heaven. ##### Lynn S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don B.

We loved being able to hop in the water off the small dock and snorkel for hours. The location was perfect, very quiet, but still close enough to Vaitape to go shopping or go eat dinner. Nir and Tiare were perfect hosts. We would absolutely recommend this place (my friends are now going there in April from my recommendation) and would love to come back. ##### Nichole C.

We enjoyed relaxing in the water outside the property and even got dropped off at the dock after one of our scheduled tours. Easy access to the local super markets and less than 20 minute drive to pretty much anywhere on the island. Nir and Tiare made pickup/drop off very easy and helped us to schedule all of our activities during our stay. Highly recommend booking this property for an unforgettable trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world. ##### Geoffrey D.

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. ##### Wayne C.

No commercialism, no touristic hassles... live on the lagoon and swim, dream and create here. You know, the elements can be rough on wood and fabric, so some of the finishes are not as shiny as they were 3 years ago, but that can't keep us away. The lagoon is magical. ##### Priya P.

Sep 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Don't book a resort bungalow, book this place. We rented a car from Nir, the property manager, must have for the island. Place was easy to find. Large place with great back deck overlooking lagoon and sunsets. We stopped a local market with good selection of food. Cooked two nights and had restuarants pick us up for great dinners. Spent our days at Matira Beach and eat at local's Snack Matira, 15 minute drive and no one is there! It was windy each day at the bungalow, so we did not go in the water or kayak. Best way to experience Bora Bora. Do not be held hostage at a resort with their shuttle schedules. ##### John S. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Alissa Nov 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Alissa Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth P. Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Beth P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael and Kaye W. Jan 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Michael and Kaye W. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian W. Jun 22, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous location with great snorkeling off the deck! Really enjoyed our stay here. We were in the water almost every day. Swimming to the left off the deck we saw clown fish in anemones, off to the right a bit further (around the headland) we saw manta rays a couple times. There"s even coral and fish (we even saw a moray eel) within a few meters of the house. That said, while the water was clear early morning, it got progressively cloudier later on in the day. It's quite an exposed location, so any wind will come whipping along the water. This meant we often didn't need the AC and just opened the windows and doors (we only saw mosquitoes occasionally in the land side bedroom). It also meant that on windier days it was hard to kayak as the wind was so fierce. Recommend bringing some kind of inflatable to tie to the deck and float around on. (Most of the inflatables provided were broken in some way). Also there was always (non invasive) activity out on lagoon to sit and watch - locals paddling by, tourist boats or local traffic. The house itself is as described by many others here - comfortable and functional. A couple of nits you should be aware of - the windows in the bedrooms rattled when the wind was strong (or occasionally when the AC was on). Also the house wasn't spotlessly clean, for example there were crumbs in the silverware drawer. We did also see one cockroach but other than that there weren't any other bugs/ants. Overall we had an amazing time here and highly recommend staying if you want to avoid the resorts ##### Gillian W. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim P. Aug 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place with "local's" feel We (me, hubby, and daughters - 19yo & 18yo) are celebrating my husband and my 25-year wedding anniversary. My husband and I celebrated our 20th in Bora Bora and ever since, I wanted our girls to have that experience too. Last time we spent the entire trip at the Conrad Hilton resort in an over the water bungalow. This time we chose to stay here for 4 nights with the girls, and then 4 nights at the Conrad resort (us in an over the water bungalow and the girls in their own place). I'm so glad we did it this way because it gave us very different but symbolic experiences at each of the two stays. At this VRBO we really loved that we watched THREE octopuses hunt for a meal as we stood on the raised walkway about 10 steps from the front door! (we never saw any at the Conrad even while snorkeling) More magic happened when we got to watch a family of 4 eagle rays, at surface level, come right past our back lower deck while all 4 of us were standing right there! We loved that when the neighboring VRBO guests vacated they came over and offered us all their water toys and unopened food, it made us feel a bit like we were the locals with real neighbors. We loved it when the neighbor across the street (a local who spoke very little English) saw our two girls trying in vain to crack open a coconut, and kindly came over and offered "no no, come come..." and walked them over to a coconut cracking set-up he had fashioned in his front yard and showed them how it was done! I would have assumed tourists were not warmly greeted (Hawaiian "stink eye" and all) but that was completely not the case here. The locals we encountered were very friendly. Also a huge asset was Nir, the property manager. He is awesome and made our vacation so much better than it otherwise would have been, by among other things, scheduling a private snorkeling adventure for just our family, where we stood in the ocean (yes STOOD, about half a mile from the closest shore) surrounded by black tip sharks and sting rays, which we "petted/held" for lack of a better word!! Also we got a car from Nir which gave us the ability to explore the island. Another thing is that it was super convenient to have a kitchen and washing machine. Also this unit has 3 mini splits and they did an excellent job keeping the heat and humidity down.
