Great location and wonderful reef with lots of fish at the bungalow. a must stay on your trip to Bora Bora

Wonderful house , great sunsets very relaxing , communication with owner was great , caretaker of the property was very helpful . Wonderful trip !

Thanks to Nir for the awesome stay at bungalow 2 and arranging our excursions. The host made our stay very convenient. We miss this place already. Hope to see you guys again.

We had a wonderful stay.

The property manager Nir was very helpful to many activities on the island.

Nir is very helpful and friendly. Way cheaper renting his car from Avis. He loan you his mobile phone was above all. Thank you Nir and hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful over water bungalow with beautiful views. Easy access for small boats to pick up and drop back off for wonderful snorkeling and scuba diving adventures. Highly recommend visiting here.

This is pure. 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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay in the Bungalow and felt honoured to be in a cabin which is a local tour highlight. Property manager was incredibly easy to communicate with and helpful in guidance for local activities. We communicated regarding cleaning between guests and the feedback was well received.

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 was my first time in a bungalow. I would say that it is ideal "beach / home combo" experience: swim, take a shower right there on the deck, have a snack and then relax either in the sun or under the roof. It wasn't humid at all even without air conditioning (which was working perfectly when needed) The manager Nir was very helpful with tours, dinging and other information about local culture and traditions. We were given the local phone for communication with Nir. It was really helpful. It was really great and relaxing vacation. People here always wear a smile :)

Mr. Nir is best property manager, so helpful and kind, very responsive and incredibly knowledgeable of all things Bor Bora! Clean, well appointed local artisan furniture and all amenities available or easily obtained with just a need to ask of Mr. Nir. Rental car with Mr. Nir pure simplicity. Sunsets and sunrise breathtaking and water sublime. We will be back!

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.

we had a great time. thanks

Fabulous in every way. Amazing service and amazing stay!

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. All in all, it created fabulous memories, for which I will forever be grateful to Richard, the owner for choosing to VRBO this wonderful property!

Great!

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!

The property was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay and loved being on the water. We were able to swim and snorkel right from the bungalow and saw so many amazing marine life. Nir was so helpful and the island was so welcoming. I would add that getting a rental car is a good idea.

This was such a great experience and do glad we chose to stay here! The place was roomier than expected and very comfortable. Nir was an outstanding host providing us with a car and setting up all our activities! We will definitely be going back!

It was a lovely property that fit our desire to eat out for most meals.

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!

We had such an amazing stay at Marlon Brando's over the water bungalow condominium. The property was clean, fully equipped kitchen, washer (no drier, but hang drying clothes made it a easy) and accomodated 2 adults with 2 children (agess 5 and 9) comfortably. Having a fully equipped kitchen with a bbq grill on the balcony definitely saved us money without having to go out to eat often. only downside, condo is on the north side of the island and can get pretty windy during the winter and rainy season. Other than that, I would highly recommend this condo to all my family and friends. Thank you Richard, Seiko and also to Nir our property manager. This was a vacation of a lifetime we will cherish forever as a family.

This is our fifth visit to Polynesia, but the first time with our kids and away from the usual luxury resorts. Booking with VBRO turned out to be a great decision for our family! Marlon Brando #2 was a beautiful, spacious overwater bungalow with good onsite snorkeling and swimming. Within kayaking distance was *fabulous* snorkeling--across the lagoon just before the reef, and closer in "manta ray cove" to the northeast. Bungalow was spacious for four and had great island decor. It was far enough from town to feel secluded, but close enough to grocery stores, food trucks and restaurants. We enjoyed watching the boats go by while lounging on our deck. The kitchen had everything we needed and the washing machine was a plus (line dry). Excellent WiFi with a Smart TV that had Netflix and Amazon apps. This unit allowed our family to access this amazing island while being completely independent and socially distanced. Car rental from property manager Nir was convenient and cheaper than local agencies. Highly recommend the full-day Lagoonarium experience which included the best and most varied traditional Polynesian meal of the week. We hiked on our own to several of the WWII cannon sites, a big hit with our teenage son. Can't wait to come back again.

I stayed here first with my family and loved it so much I came back with friends. The bungalow is a great size and is in a wonderful location (although a car is needed - host can help you arrange). Recommendations and rental car were highly appreciated - definitely felt taken care of. Thank you!

Staying at Marlon's overwater bungalow was an unforgettable experience and a fabulous place to recharge (thanks Richard and Seiko!)! I was greeted in Vaitape by Tiare who provided me with the keys, directions, and a phone to use while on the island. This was useful when arranging last minute activities with tour operators and Nir was also super resourceful whenever any questions came up. The mornings were serene and yet energizing – waking up to amazing views and the sound of lapping waves was awesome! A great place to "work remotely" (sarcasm) during the day and then take in breathtaking sunsets at the end of it. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!!
