Extraordinary stay at the Maeva Hoa
"This is our second time staying at the Maeva Hoa. We love the house, amenities, the beach, and the hospitality. We can't wait to come back and visit soon! Mauruuru!"

Perfect Paradise
"Moea was the most perfect concierge. She had our flight number and car rental confirmation to be certain that we were on time, kept in contact with us before our trip and was ready to escort us to the bungalow. The photo and description in the listing did not disappoint. Perfect paradise. MaevaHoa is EVERYTHING you ever needed in a vacation home, and more. Details matter — Pat and Heather thought of everything from AED defibrillator, beach umbrellas, kayaks, canoes, snorkeling gear to cocktails tiki umbrellas. Amazing."

A thoughtfully-appointed, luxurious home-away-from-home
"We feel so lucky to have found the listing for this Bora Bora bungalow. It is a gem. The owners have put a lot of care and hard work into creating a luxurious home-away-from-home environment for Maeva Hoa guests. I doubt there are many, if any, homes as nice as this one on the main island. We loved staying on the main island (where locals live) and the authentic experience it allowed. The views from both inside and outside the bungalow are beautiful; we logged countless hours hanging out on the balcony overlooking the lagoon. Communication with the owners before and during our stay was seamless. If we are lucky enough to return to Bora Bora, we would want to stay at Maeva Hoa again."

Bora Bora bungalow
"The property is amazing as is the location. The single main floor bathroom may be inconvenient for two couples but worked great for us. A bbq would be handy but the outdoor balcony is divine and the view spectacular! Highly recommend this property."

Splendid Bungalow
"Incredible ocean views from the large balcony where one can sit outside for coffee, drinks or meals. Beautiful interior — lustrous wood floors and carvings, completely modern equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. This is an exceptional home from which to enjoy Bora Bora. The owner and property manager are extremely kind."
Cynthia W. · Jul 2023
Wonderful Experience
"This property is just as advertised, beautiful view, new remodeled interior, fresh and clean and in a nice quiet area of the island. The bedding was comfortable, and our family members (4 adults) slept well. Separate air conditioning units were in every room and worked fine. Ariane, the property assistant, was very kind and helpful."

Paradise!
"This home is absolutely perfect for a stay on Bora Bora! It has a wonderful kitchen as well as beautiful bedrooms. I would stay here again and again and again!"

Incredible Vacation in Bora Bora
"Pat and Heather, you have shared with us your home in Bora Bora, renovated with an eye for high end features, a 5 star accommodation, and you went out of your way to have property manager Marie meet us upon arrival, and show us all the property features. We really liked your guide books and instructions, it gave us the ability to be independent on the island. We will be back, and we will be recommending to friends and family to also visit."
Rob S. · Dec 2021
A more beautiful view we could not have enjoyed!
"Pat, the bungalow is gorgeous and well equipped. We were surprised to learn that we could have the ultimate convenience of having the boats come and pick us up from the pier for diving and snorkeling tours. We loved the kayaking and eating in, or following your recommendations for eating out. This has been one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations our family has ever experienced with VRBO."
Elena T. · Dec 2018
Beautifully designed and well furnished
"The house itself is beautifully designed and well furnished. Very comfortable beds, lots of big fluffy towels and a very well equipped kitchen which made cooking an absolute pleasure. Big beach towels were also provided."

A bungalow on the southwest shore.
Maeva Hoa sits on a hillside above the lagoon in Fa'Anui, on the quieter southwest side of Bora Bora. It's a two-minute walk to the water and a five-minute drive to the village. From the balcony, you look out over thatched overwater bungalows and the brilliant turquoise of the lagoon, with Mt. Otemanu rising behind the island.
The bungalow itself is three bedrooms, three bathrooms, sleeping six — a luxury home, not a hotel room. There's a fully-equipped kitchen, a covered terrace for sunset dinners, multiple Smart TVs with Apple TV, separate A/C in every bedroom, fast WiFi, and beach gear at the door (kayaks, snorkels, umbrellas).
Fa'Anui is where locals live. Less polished than the resort coast, more authentic. You'll wake to roosters and a mountain breeze; afternoons mean lagoon swimming, snorkeling, or running into village kids on bikes. Restaurants, the airport boat dock, and Vaitape (the main town) are all a short scooter or car ride away.
