The Black Pearl 5 Star Luxury Over Water Home in Bora Bora

Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful home in Bora Bora. Each morning we had coffee on the lanai and feed the fish bread from the local store. The water was so very clear. During our waking hours we spent 90% of our time outside on the lanai reading books, laying in the sun, and watching the natives go by on their kayaks. We especially enjoyed the BBQ as we used it every night. Our "entertainment" at night was to lay outside on the lanai and watch the stars. We have never seen such incredible stars in our entire life. We found the Black Pearl to be exactly as described on your listing and especially liked the oversized bathroom. We highly recommend the Black Pearl for folks that simply want to hang out, kick back, and can easily entertain themselves. We will never forget our 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration at the Black Pearl. Thank you again so very much. All the best to you!

Just the above picture should put this on your bucket list as it was on ours. We considered going to the VERY HIGH END hotels and we did visit them so believe me when I say we made the right choice. The high end has all the restaurants and toys but nothing close to the ambience or privacy of your own bungalow. We started with four days of rain..... who knew January is rainy season in Bora Bora. But we came from twenty below and snow so suck it up. The TV may not have worked but if you need TV in paradise then go to Mexico. I thought because it is such a small island that we could walk every where. The Black Pearl is on the opposite end of the island to most amenities which is both its beauty and charm. For what you are saving, rent a car from Nir or rent a bike but don't bike at night !
Four miles toward town is a good dive shop and a new excellent french restaurant. There are two dives on this island on a shark feed dive ( big lemon sharks) and a mantra ray dive site. Both produce what they advertise. The coral is poor and the clarity of the water is average so two dives and your done but next time I will take an underwater video camera.
Richard is more than helpful and very quick in responding to questions. You walk in and you know you are visiting someones home. If spending time in a home on the water in a very exotic location with great sunsets and ocean breezes at night then consider the long flight to Bora Bora. I most definitely would recommend this to friends and I already have. It was a very good friend that told me about the Black Pearl.... we still are good friends. We got caught with having to spend a day on the island between check out and our flight home. We went to the Sofitell Hotel and spent the day on their beach and restaurant which was a great way to say good bye.
Would I go again..... there are too many things left in the bucket list, but never say never.

We stayed in this house in the Spring of 2011. Every detail was fabulous. We enjoyed our trip so much. The house was well maintained and exactly like the listing. Highly recommend staying here. It is a very different experience than an impersonal hotel.
