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 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.

We absolutely loved staying at this bungalow. The property hosts were so kind and accommodating. They were easy to communicate with and gave us some excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to do around the island. The area was beautiful and we enjoyed spending time in the water and on the deck.

Little Slice of Heaven
Both the owner and onsight manager (Nir) were extremely helpful. 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.

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!

Rustic OWB with 2 Bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Interesting location if you want to swim with Manta Rays (we did) - about 1/2 kms away for beach entry to swim 30m to Manta Ray cleaning area with reliable Manta viewing for snorkelers. No need for a lagoon excursion to do this from a boat. Need a car - rented from the caretakers. Historical building with with needs for inside door repairs. Deck is nice and full shade. Kayak for guest use. Mask, snorkel & fins provided. Air conditioning is good. Hot and cold water are good. Full kitchen. Wi-Fi is good. Noise from nearby road and water transport traffic is heard. Outdoor cold shower is good. We were met at the dock on Vaitape by caretaker and she delivered our car. We returned the car to their home and they drove us to our next destination on Bora Bora. Many large towels for shower and water activities. A good stay for our needs for Manta Ray snorkel experience. A good stay if you want the OWB experience.

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.

Perfect bungalow in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. 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.

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.

The paradise you're after
Wonderful location and loved our nightly sunsets and continuous countless schools of colorful fish! During our stay we saw 11 sea turtles swim by, an octopus in the shallows, a purple/yellow nudibranch on a piling, a dozen eagle rays swam right by our porch, so much life all around! The property manager Nir was very helpful answering questions and arranging activities as needed. The bungalow was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. We absolutely loved our experience here!

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.

Our Honeymoon
This was the ideal location for my wife and I to celebrate our honeymoon. 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.

Perfect hut for our honeymoon
The property was just as described. We stayed at Marlon's Over water Hideaway for our honeymoon and it was wonderful. The bungalow had a gorgeous view and was in a great spot on the island. Nir, the property manager, was amazing. We had trouble with our flights getting to Tahiti and Nir was in communication with me every step of the way. He also set up our excursions for us, got us a car, and helped with anything else we needed. I would definitely recommend staying at this bungalow!

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.
