5 Star OceanFRONT Villa w/Pool, Secluded Beach, Ocean Access & Ocean Edge Palapa

What a wonderful stay we had at this villa! It is the cleanest and most well-stocked property we’ve ever rented. My son graduated from high school in May and got to pick our summer trip destination. He picked this property for the pool looking out to the ocean and the little slice of private beach. Magical. The owners were so helpful too. I highly recommend doing a “Welkom Dinner,” having them stock the fridge and pantry for you, and doing the private chef for a dinner and maybe even a breakfast/brunch. Definitely utilize the owners’ vast expertise. Having the palapa was such a unique experience too; such privacy on the edge of the water! We would love to return!

Great view, owners, location and property on non-touristy end of island. The best, is, of course, the view. The owners provided every conceivable convenience and amenity to enjoy the home. They are perhaps the most attentive and involved hosts we have ever encountered.The house is older, but has been well updated. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable . Kitchen is smallish, but generous outsideThere is endless space to gather together, or find seclusion. Furnishings were nice and generally kid-friendly. The grounds were wonderful, well furnished and maintained.No beach is truly private in Aruba, but as a practical matter…this one is, although the public beaches a mile or two away were more inviting. Baby Beach is wonderful especially for families with small children wanting a sheltered ocean experience.The site is a bit remote. Mostly of the locals, for the locals, aside from ocean front properties. Seemed very safe, as we felt everywhere in Aruba.Aruba is more like Arizona surrounded by some very nice beaches than a Dutch version of Hawaii. It is unequipped for rain, which we had. This property was not immune to the problems of island aging infrastructure. Aruba was a petro-boom town from the ‘20’s until the 1980’s when the massive refinery ceased operations . The country still hopes to resurrect it. If reminders of the world’s reliance on fossil fuels ruins your every day…this may not be the vacation for you.Arubans seemed to us to be the most genuinely friendly people ever, for an economy that does the Faustian deal for tourism.

Very special property with wonderful hosts The property is beautiful and spotless. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable including helping us with car rentals, booking excursions and recommendations for restaurants. The Welkom dinner is a wonderful end to a travel day and set the tone for a very special vacation. This is a quieter part of the island which suited us perfectly. We had fantastic meals where the locals go! Don’t hesitate- just book. We have already for next year!
