The internal airline company in French Polynesia is Air Tahiti. There are 9 flight connections per day between Tahiti and Bora Bora. You can directly book your flights online on the website of Air Tahiti.

The plane from Tahiti lands in Bora Bora on motu mute, an offshore islet.Then a free shuttle brings you across the lagoon to Vaitape, Bora Bora's main village. On the wharf in Vaitape, you will pick up your rental car and drive in 15 minutes to our house.

We had an amazing 15 nights in the house - it was perfect!!!!We sat on that front verandah soaking in the views for hours on end - you never get tired of that view….The air cons in the bedrooms are fantastic to get a great nights sleep after a big day in the sun too.The swimming & snorkeling out the front in the lagoon is fabulous.Overall no complaints at all, this is a perfect property to have as your base to explore Bora Bora.Highly recommend!

Better than an overwater bungalow

We spent the first week of our delayed honeymoon (we are both experienced travelers and not moon-eyed kids) at this wonderful spot in Bora Bora. It was the perfect place to explore the island in comfort, with beautiful views and all the facilities we could ask for. Pierre was a fantastic host, providing enormous helpful detail about the spot, the island, things to do, places to eat, places to shop for food and other necessities. When we encountered two small hiccups, he rectified them immediately. We loved our stay, and would be delighted to go back and stay there again.When two small hiccuabout, he

Great gateaway

Stayed 4 nights at the property and loved it! The Villa is about 15-20 minutes drive to Vaitape village on a north side of the island with great views from the balcony. We rented a car to get around and explore the island as it would be difficult without it due to the Villa location.

What a wonderful home to stay in for 2 weeks. What is in the photos is what is the reality. A fabulous location which was made better by the large deck, so many hours just enjoying the view. Everything is there for a wonderful stay. Pierre was very responsive to any communications and check-in and check-out were easy. We hope to be back very soon.

Exceptional views from a wonderful Villa

Excellent property with stunning views over the lagoon. Much appreciated the prompt and clear communications between the owner and ourselves. The description of the property is very accurate. A little way out of town so you do need a car but great for a long term Stay or even (as we did) just a few nights. Thank you Pierre. It was great !!

Amazing view!

Pierre the owner was so wonderful to work with, a dream vrbo owner actually! So attentive with any questions and very nice! The care takers were the nicest people I've ever met, literally.. We had such an amazing time and the views were exquisite. The driveway was a little scary at first, but we got used to it. His vehicle was nice and newer. All in all, we hope to one day return! Thank you Pierre! Amanda & Edward

Excellent home

This place is terrific! The house was spotless upon our arrival. it had all that we needed, and we cooked nearly every night we were here. Nice to have the washer/dryer after our week of sailing. The views are incredible and we didn’t want to leave. The beach isn’t much, but we jumped into the crystal clear lagoon from the pier and swam and snorkeled ever day. Nice to have the (quite run down) car included in the rental. We explored all over the island and used it for grocery store runs and meals out. Diving was terrific — recommend Bora Eleuthera and their crew for a good and safe experience. We can hardly wait to return!!!

Great views and sunsets

Property offers great views of Bora Bora sunsets. We enjoyed our coffee every morning on the balcony and drinks in the evening. The kitchen has all the appliances we like from the US. There is A/C but only in the bedrooms and so the living room and kitchen get very warm during mid day. The bedrooms stay very cool for sleeping. The condo is very clean and well maintained. If you rent a standard car, be aware of the steep driveway to park. We would recommend an automatic car for this rental. Also you will get a 6am wake-up call from the roosters every morning, but we were up for the sunrise and so it really didn't bother us. We would recommend the condo for those who don't want to pay Bora Bora resort prices. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing views, very friendly locals, BEAUTIFUL island!

Our entire experience with host Pierre was easy and well managed. There are great views of the lagoon and the passing boats, with a gentle breeze, from the balcony but the AC in the bedrooms is a must for good sleeping here. The hillside compound of bungalows is perfectly manicured by the daily gardener, and is a 15 minute drive from the main village of Vaitape. This is where the ferry/local supermarkets/shops mostly are, so you need a rental car. The beaches are a 20 minute drive, but driving is easy here. You can swim just across the street from the bungalow, or enjoy great snorkeling after a 10 minute walk to the left of the property. The activities are FANTASTIC (snorkeling, diving, jet ski, boat tours) and are led by FUN local guides. Don’t miss the 2 local food trucks RIGHT across the street from the church in Vaitape-schawarma to the left, and the best marinated and sashimi fish platter to the right! Yum! This property is one of the best quality/price places you will find in Bora Bora!!!

Wonderful Stay

First off, Pierre was a great host. The information he provided on activities, recommendations, little hacks really helped us hit the ground running. We had an awesome time on the island. He provided kayaks, which we didn’t take advantage of, but is such a huge plus being literally a stone’s throw from the shore. I wish I had an extra day just to do that. The place: you’re 10-12 minutes from Vaitape, which is a blessing of a buffer because it gets really, really bogged down in people/car traffic. I know, you’re in Bora Bora, what’s there to complain about? But it was nice to feel removed from all of that in a well located place with a killer view. The house was well provisioned with everything you would need to stay in, make a meal or just chill. The balcony is huge and has a direct line of site to the sunset, so that’s what we did most evenings before hitting the town or restaurants. Bedrooms have air conditioning and made our nights comfortable and restful. Awesome place! Many thanks to Pierre for the stay!

Everything We Hoped and More!

My husband and I wanted to experience Bora Bora more from a village experience than a resort's. Pierre's place provided us a perfect setting! The pictures posted are more than accurate; in fact, we found it even more breath-taking in-person. The place is spacious, well-decorated with a lot of thought put in for its guests. Nathalie, the house manager, was very nice and made checking-in and out very easy. You will need a car to get around but it's well worth the added expense and your daily rate will still be under any resort's. An added bonus for us is that just less than a half mile down the road is a snorkeling spot with one or two (maybe more) resident manta rays. We actually discovered the area when we did a paid snorkeling excursion on our first full day there. In the following days, we would go every morning on our own before any of the boats arrived. It was amazing! It was also nice saying "la Orana" to the neighbors and seeing every day life on Bora Bora along the way. If this is what you are looking for - a quiet, more private experience - Pierre's place is it!

Vacation in Paradise

Communication with the owner of this beautiful property was simply first class from the very beginning. We received extremely detailed information with pictures and useful tips. Check-in was very smooth. The apartment itself can only be described as paradise itself. The views from the extensive balcony are simply stunning. The kitchen has everything you will need to make your stay enjoyable and there are 2 supermarkets within a 10 minutes drive away. Bring your duty-free allowance, as alcohol prices here are high! The beds are extremely comfortable and both bedrooms have very effective air conditioning units. The lounge and dining area are delightful in the evening and you can leave the doors open as they are equipped with mosquito nets. The bathroom is airy and spacious. There is a cellar with two washing machines and dryers. We were even invited by the owner to use the kayaks for a paddle in the lagoon. Although parts of the property are fraying a little at the edges, I cannot speak highly enough about this vacation rental with its friendly and attentive owner. I would return for sure and recommend this place to anyone looking for paradise on Bora Bora with stunning views at a very fair price!

The Perfect Trip

My wife and I have been fortunate enough in our lives to have travelled to many islands, stayed in a variety of accommodations, and dealt with the owners of all. Pierre and his Villa FETIA ITI now top the list. He could not have been more informative, accommodating, flexible... and NICE! If you prefer to do most of your own cooking, explore the island, read a good book, and be mesmerized by the most beautiful view from the perfect deck, actually say you've been to Bora Bora (rather than a hotel on a motu "looking" at Bora Bora), then this is your place! It is literally a modern beach house on stilts. Perfectly decorated as such, spotless, beach chairs (4) w/umbrella, washer, dryer, (pack lighter than you've ever packed before!), dishwasher, and all the utensils and cookware needed. Any other thing or information needed, just walk down to Barthélemy and Nathalie's (managers) house and ask. They are about as nice as it gets! ... and not just because he picked mangos for us!! Pierre's rental car (great rate) was used for grocery run, to get to Matira beach (20 min, good snorkeling off of north end in front of dive shop... bring your own gear). Also, "best of the best" swimming beach further down at south end... nobody really there during the week, and just a few more locals on weekend. WARMEST waters anywhere! Also drove into the main town (can see the whole thing in 10 min) and ate at the Les Roulettes (rolling food trucks w/tables and chairs) with the locals. 10-14 US dollars, big plate...wife and I split meal. Can also swim in front of Pierre's down around Marlon Brando's old Overwater Bungalow (and 4 others). These, by the way, just add to the uniqueness of the deck view. Took some short hikes (Barthélemy showed us where to start) and a lagoon snorkeling tour... a must! The one main road (which goes around the island (beautiful drive w/views of Mt Otemanu) is just below the house. You get a little car, scooter, or dog noise once in awhile, but the roosters and other tropical bird sounds more than make up for it. One more thing (to show Pierre's attention to detail), he even put up padding above the low-lying doorway going into laundry and storage area... for those of us that sometimes forget to duck! Thanks Pierre! Jeff & Wendy

Outstanding Accomodations for Experiencing "True" Bora Bora

My wife and I spent 31 days at the Villa and it was nothing short of the perfect accomodations for us. We didn't want to experience Bora Bora from a resort, we wanted to "live" in Bora Bora and be able to make our own meals, come and go to town as we pleased, experience various restaurants and food trucks, and simply live day to day life on this beautiful island. And best of all we could do this at an affordable rate the resorts can't even begin to compete with. Yes, you will need a car which is essential. Yes, you will have to cook and clean daily. Yes, you will have to make your own fun and be independent. But you'll have everything you need to create a fabulous vacation. The Villa is fully equipt with everything you'll need from cookware and towels to a washer and dryer. Air conditioning is in the two bedrooms and works just fine. We never found the ocean breezes didn't cool down the other areas to our liking. The patio off the front provides the ideal place to watch the happenings going on in the lagoon and to eat and relax. The lagoon is a two minute walk away and provides fantastic swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. In fact we though the snorkeling was very good right near and around the adjacent over-water bungalo's. The available kayaks allowed us to explore the lagoon at our leisure. The grounds, Villa itself and furniture are well maintained and assuming you're not expecting it to be the Four Seasons (or the like) you'll love it! If your goal is a short visit and you want the pampering of a resort I would recommend you go that route. But if you want to have an extended stay and actually see Bora Bora for what it is this Villa is the absolute best option on the island. A couple tips... bring water shoes, snorkel gear, and spices if you're going to cook at the Villa. Outside of that everything you'll need will either be available at the Villa or for purchase the Chin Lee or Super U grocery stores... and I mean anything you would need they'll have (they're like mini Wallmart's). A final shout-out to the local corresondents. They're kind, love the island and the life it provides and could not have been more gracious to me and my wife. In closing - this is an OUTSTANDING option if you're self sufficient and not expecting to be pampered, fed and desiring a staff to take care of all your needs. Questions? Email me and I will be happy to answer them.

Je remercie Pierre pour sa réactivité et ses conseils. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette villa confortable et propre ! Au delà du cadre et de l'intérieur chaleureux je tiens à souligner que tout le nécessaire était présent et même plus. Ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans les locations. sel, poivre, condiments, filtres à café, pastilles lave vaisselle et lave linge, sacs poubelle...etc. et la buanderie suréquipée nous a sauvée la vie ! Nous nous sommes rapidement approprié les lieux et avions l'impression d'être chez nous. Les moments passés sur la terrasse face au lagon resteront gravés dans nos mémoire. A refaire.

Plongée en apnée au paradis

La villa est vraiment bien située….la vue du balcon donnant sur le lagon est imprenable…les couchers de soleil sont exceptionnels. Pour les amateurs de plongée en apnée, c’est un endroit idéal où séjourner. Pierre, le propriétaire est de très bon conseil et il a à coeur que ses locataires repartent de chez lui avec plein de beaux souvenirs dans la tête et dans le coeur.. On peut voir des raies manta à proximité de la villa sur un site situé appelé le Juventin à moins de 1 km de la propriété et accessible facilement à environ 100 mètres du bord de l’eau. Il y a 2 kayaks qu’on peut utiliser et il y a juste en face d’extraordinaires plongées à faire en apnée. Les coraux sont top niveaux , la visibilité est excellente et toute la gamme des poissons tropicaux de Polynésie s’y retrouve…Tout ceci est autour du Motu voisin du motu où se trouve l’aéroport de Bora Bora. Une balade de 5 km aller retour à partir de la villa qui merite d’être faite au quotidien par les amateurs de plongée snorkeling un peu en forme..
