We have been renting homes in Aruba during the holiday season for almost 10 years and are pleased to say that this is the nicest home we have had the opportunity to rent. It is large, clean, and beautifully appointed. When looking at photos everything looks nice, but the house more than met our expectations. The listing was accurate, and the property was clean and beautifully maintained. The property manager lives right across the street which made us feel secure that if anything was needed, we could just walk over, but everything was fine, and he checked in with us several times during our stay. We will certainly be back! Aruba was also perfect--rain only late at night, beaches, snorkeling, restaurants-- beautiful!

Absolutely Perfect

This was our second time in Aruba- the first time we stayed in hotel and were looking for a different experience. We just LOVED this house and couldn't say enough good things about it. Before our arrival the owners were extremely helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions. When we arrived at the house it was perfectly clean and ready for us. We had 5 adults and 1 toddler (16 months) with us and this house had plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was the perfect size and had everything we needed for the week.

The best part about this house was the pool and large table outside. We spent the majority of our time out here and it could not have been any better. The pool was the perfect size and our son loved playing in and around the pool. We were pleasantly surprised to find they had lots of rafts and toys for both us and our son to enjoy.

The hidden gem of this entire vacation (other than Aruba's beautiful weather and great restaurants) was the property manager who lives right across the street. He and his wife were helpful if we needed directions somewhere, had random questions...and even came over to tell us we accidentally left our car lights on. The manager's wife also works for a taxi company and drove us to dinner a few nights, even though one of them was her night off!

We will absolutely be coming back to Aruba and especially this house. We could not have asked for a more perfect vacation.

What a great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay. Clean, large spaces. Comfortable beds. 3 bathrooms for each of the 3 bedrooms. Wireless Internet access-a great pool and surrounding yard that had nesting hawks to entertain us! The property owner was great. Checked in with us 1/2 way through our stay and was very accommodating. And he wasn't a "pest". Very relaxed.
A short drive to 2 of the best beaches or a nice walk-which we did 1 morning. (about 1 mile) Nice neighborhood and secure.
I would highly recommend this property. It was hard to leave it during the day to go out and about! But we did and enjoyed our day and enjoyed coming back to such a nice place.
One of the nicest things was not having to be with a ton of people at a hotel pool! Just jump in when you get hot, and you have it all to yourself.
You do need to plan on having shampoo and might have to buy some things like dish soap and paper towels, but minor things when you consider this terrific property.
We have been to many places and this was our 3rd visit to Aruba. This was our first time renting a villa and this property may well have set the new standard that all future trips will be measured up against. A truly wonderful, relaxed vacation.
