Amazing Overwater Bungalow
The Black Pearl is an amazing place to stay for a couple! Richard, Nir and Taire were all very flexible and helpful. Taire helped us check in when we were able to arrive early on a standby flight. She met us at the ferry drop off with the car and showed us around and gave us all the information. The bungalow itself is about a 10 minute drive from downtown and is amazing! It has almost everything that you need including an incredible view, which is the most important to us! If you’re looking for a place that is absolutely perfect, there are a few cosmetic things that could be improved. None of them made this stay any less fantastic! Having air-conditioning is an amazing extra! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom is fantastic. We woke up every morning and had coffee on the deck looking out at the incredible Motus across the bay, then we would go snorkeling around the corner, so close you could walk. Our first morning snorkeling we interacted with a huge Reef Ray for about 20 minutes, a long gift to us! We also swim with spotted rays, black tip reef sharks, and many many amazing fish. Some of the coral went so deep we couldn’t even see the bottom of it. One morning a huge group of dolphins were playing in the clear water about 200 yards off the deck. We took the kayak out and just sat in the middle of them while they swam all around us. If we hadn’t been at the Black Pearl, these things probably wouldn’t have happened. Location, Location, Location!

We were very happy.
We genuinely enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. We were impressed with the high quality appliances, lots of kitchen accessories. Toaster, blender, storage bowls etc. The wash machine was nice to have as well. The shower was awesome, big and with a rain shower head that had great pressure. Also big fluffy bath towels were included along with 2 beach towels. The King size bed was comfortable. When it got hot, the air conditioner cooled it down quickly. Also if you opened all the windows you could get a nice breeze blowing through. It was fun sitting on the deck, enjoying the fish and beautiful water. I would recommend a rental car, we got ours through Nir, it was a great asset, we were able to grocery shop, go out to eat and go to the beach. The only negative we found was the blinds in the living room were mostly broken, which meant they had to be down the whole time, there was no way to raise them. Although it would have been nice had they worked, it did not hamper our stay.

Amazing stay
The bungalow was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. So very relaxing, we spent hours on the deck just watching the boats and fish go by. We snorkeled right off the dock. If you go off to the right when you are facing the ocean there are fish. The excursion boats were able to pick us up and drop us off at the dock. Tom was great and very helpful. Would stay here again.

A week in Paradise
The property is beautiful, stocked with almost everything you'll need. The property owner was extremely responsive to any questions before the trip and the in-country manager was also extremely helpful both before the trip and once we were on island. When you see the proximity to each other of the overwater bungalows at some of the large resorts, you'll really appreciate how private this overwater bungalow is. If you're someone who wants to have have a short walk to shopping or dinner at a restaurant, this isn't the place for you. Most shops and restaurants were a 15 - 25 minute drive, but many restaurants provide free pickup and drop off for dinner. This was a perfect base for both relaxing and exploring the island and would love to stay here again if we make it back to Bora Bora someday!

The pearl of Bora Bora
We really had a great time here and can not say enough about what a great place it was. From booking to check out it was easy to communicate with the owner and the property manager, everything was seamless. We rented a car from Nir and was picked up at the ferry and dropped off when we were done. Checking into the bungalow was easy. The bungalow itself was great, over the water and far enough from the one next it for some privacy. The inside was nice and had everything we needed, the outside had a nice covered back deck and a walk down swimming platform. Always a breeze on the deck which was good for watching the tropical fish below and the sunsets. We snorkeled right off the platform and had a lot to see, even a small blacktip Reef shark. The location on the island was great for getting around. The Black Pearl bungalow far exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Bora Bora.

I can't say enough good things about this property! It was super clean, well maintained (and I believe recently remodeled), not to mention private. The living room was relaxed with comfortable couch and chairs, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and the bathroom was well beyond my expectations with a large walk-in shower and big soaker tub. The kitchen was clean, and stocked with all the appliances (small and large) that you might need. The back porch was a good size with a comfy lounge chair, outdoor dining set, clotheslines for your wet swimwear and a BBQ. There's a kayak for use, and the snorkeling in the vicinity is pretty nice! We even saw some stingrays gliding past our porch a couple of times! Overall, I couldn't have been happier with our stay! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a private, comfortable over-the-water bungalow on the main island without the restrictions (and expenses!) of staying at a resort.

Overwater bungalow nirvana
Can’t say enough about our stay in the overwater bungalow. From the time mr. Nir picked us up at the ferry dock to the time he dropped us off after our stay, it was pure heaven!! The crystal clear blue water right off our dock was great for snorkeling. The bungalow itself was impeccable with everything you needed. We hated to leave. We would highly recommend this to everyone. Made many lasting memories. Thank You- Dave and JoAnn

We stayed here for 4 nights and will be unfaithful it I forgot to review about this place. Nir and his wife, Tiare they were so kind and knowledgeable. Any questions always be helping quickly by Nir. He was so dedicated to make us satisfying on anything we asked. I thought if this vacation,we didn’t meet him might we really went to disappointed through 2 places we just left also from Tahiti( 4 nights from Citi Home Tahiti, and 2 nights from Royal Bora Bora). Staying here, we had so much things we need like kitchen utensils, even rice, or oil to cook…Knowing both were seniors, Nir help me take us to the airport for free and together showing how we’ll do next steps. My wife before got headaches so much but when relaxing here, all symptoms were disappear immediately 😊. We’re surely to recommend about Nir and we now understand why we had spent many time to book successful here!

Relaxing Stay
We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Black Pearl. The house was clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable. We loved spending relaxing mornings on the deck listening to the waves and boats go past. We used the grill in the evening and enjoyed the quiet at the end of a busy day. Every thing you need in Vaitape is only 15-20 minutes away. Nir was so helpful and kind throughout the whole trip. Having the car from Nir was a must and so convenient with Nir meeting us at the dock and dropping us off after. One of our favorite things was we were so close to the Manta Ray cleaning station that we just kayaked over to it (to the right and around the tip of the island as you face the ocean)and moored to the kayak to the existing ropes. We snorkeled with a Manta Ray all alone before the tour boats arrived in the morning. Incredible. We saw an octopus along with many other fish as we snorkeled right under the house, we also saw a Moray Eel about 30 feet from the bungalow to the right. Staying over the water in Bora Bora at this price made it so we were happy to pay for excursions like a trip to Taha’a to the Pearl and Vanilla farms, and to take the snorkel tour of the lagoons. Truly incredible experiences. Our only suggestion would be the curtains in the bedroom could use updating, but they worked fine. We recommend Snack Matira for good inexpensive lunches right on the beach. Thank you, Nir for your incredible hospitality and wonderful stay.
