Flamingo Villa is the perfect getaway and hideaway, whether for a romantic interlude, a private family vacation or a group of friends gathering. Please check our Calendar for Availability.
Flamingo Villa is majestically nestled in the southwest hillside of the 38-mile-long island, conveniently located between the east and west ends just above Habitat Beach, in Coral Estate -- a private, 24/7 gated, secure community. Divers will love this convenient location and will find our Dive Locker facilities with rinse tank and drying racks very useful. Because of our height above sea level, this area has some of the most beautiful, breathtaking views & sunsets found on the island. Just a few steps away you will find the famous Flamingo Reserve at the historic salt ponds. Down the hill is the Newest Beach at Habitat, and minutes away is PortoMari & Daibooibaai Beach, which offers exquisite swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
The villa features either 3 or 5 bedrooms (with AC), & 3 baths , wheelchair accessible, walk-in closets, in a Luxurious new atmosphere. Sleeps 12 comfortably (using both levels of villa) with superior king mattresses + 2 pull-out sofa beds, grand outdoor living areas with gas grill, private pool and deck with specially designed privacy screening. Gourmet kitchen with island, separate dining area, 42" TV with Cable, FREE Wireless High-Speed Internet. | A separate 2 BR Apartment with its own terrace is located on the lower level with full amenities. It's ONLY rented in COMBINATION with the main level so you'll never have to share the pool with strangers!
Flamingo Villa combines sleek, simple European styling with the spaciousness of an American home. Professionally decorated in casually elegant island tones, it is incorporated under a Dutch Caribbean architectural style "landhuis." No other Villa can comfortably house 12 guests in the lap of luxury! The high vaulted ceiling, adjustable shutters on all the windows including screening, and ceiling fans in every room compliment the 3500 square feet (325m2) of open space; allowing the natural trade wind breezes to keep the house pleasantly cool and comfortable.
Quiet serenity awaits you in this mesmerizing picturesque landscape. This custom built house faces West, which allows for fabulous panorama views. Situated on a cliff 150 feet (45 meters) above sea level, Flamingo Villa guarantees the perfect unobstructed view over the Caribbean Sea. The 10' span of glass doors invites outdoor living with the extra large covered terrace built with a privacy fence that provides you the seclusion you desire. Perfect for that pampered massage! Cook outdoors on the gas grill, dip in the vanishing edge pool (17x10ft / 5x3m), shower overlooking the ocean, sunbathe without onlookers, catch a siesta in the relaxing hammocks, and savor your favorite foods in the protected lanai.
No other rental villa that sleeps 7+ people can be found with a direct magnificent oceanfront, panorama view facing the Caribbean Sea! This is not your 'typical' rental property ... this is our piece of paradise at its best. Stargazing during the tropical evenings is an experience not to be missed!

Luxury Oceanfront Flamingo Villa | Booking 2012 Dates!
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose St. Willibrordus
We wanted a tranquil place to relax and re-energize without the worries of adverse weather. Come on over, put your feet up and enjoy a fine glass of wine with a chunk of tasty gouda cheese, while watching some of the most fantastic mesmerizing sunsets. Ahh ... this was all worth it.

Outstanding vacation

Review Submitted: 11/29/11
We were very pleased with our stay at this location. The pictures are accurate but do not account for the overwhelming peaceful feeling of actually being there. We felt right at home. I took my 3 month old and was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations made on his behalf. The security on the property helped me to feel very safe and secure. We spent the majority of our time on the patio with the hammocks, the pool, and the spectacular view of the ocean. We have never had a better setting to watch the sunset. All of the amenities were in excellent condition. The beds were really comfy as well as the couches. Heidi was always available and very helpful. We mostly ate at home since the kitchen and grill were so handy. Sol Food is one place that is a must to have lunch or dinner! We were disappointed to find that the Habitat was closed because it was so close and we had heard great things. The diving and snorkeling is really great, Alice in Wonderland was my favorite. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to stay in Curacao and will return if given the opportunity.

Best on the island

Flamingo Villa is probably the best villa rental on the entire island. The view from the veranda is awesome....the accommodations nothing less than perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with every dish and cooking utensil you could want. The bedrooms are so totally comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious. This villa lacks absolutely nothing....oh yes, the infinity edge pool is so relaxing. While the villa is a short drive out of Willemstad, it's easy to find your way around the island. Also the location of the villa provides easy access to every part of the island. What a perfect place!

Second Time Not So Great

This being our second trip to Flamingo Villa, we knew what we should expect at the villa. Unfortunately we were greeted by Heidi with the fact that there had been a problem with the water. She also added the problem had been going on for the three previous days. We had experienced one day on the previous trip and dealt with it. Since this was going on well before our arrival we should have been contacted before we arrived to see what options we might have had. It was necessary to keep buckets of water from the pool to flush the toilets and purchase cases of water for drinking We only had water for an entire day on Thursday. We're going back to Curacao, just not to Flamingo Villa.

My husband and I, along with another couple just returned from a week at Flamingo Villa. The pictures of this house are beautiful, but in person we were completely blown away. The house has the most amazing view and layout that we needed to tear ourselves away and force ourselves to go exploring throughout the island. The house is situated about 30 minutes from the downtown area which was an easy drive for dinner out a few nights. The house is also located very close to a bunch of very nice small beaches on the western side of the island. We especially enjoyed lounging around on the hammocks, listening to the wonderful sound system, and dipping in the pool. This was a very relaxing vacation! We found the people of Curacao extremely friendly and would not hesitate to recommend Flamingo Villa to anyone.

What a wonderful find

Flamingo Villa has set a new standard for our group by which we will judge all future accomodations. As 6 divers we admittedly splurged a bit on lodging budget over what we usually spend, but the pictures on the website made us fall in love. There are not a lot of restaurants nearby like we are used to in Bonaire, but the restaurant at Habitat just down the hill from Flamingo was fantastic and other nights we popped in to the California Supermarket picked up some kabobs or steaks to throw on the large grill on the backporch and just enjoyed the wonderful view from Flamingo. We rented just the top floor for 3 couples and Heidi (the housekeeper and cook-for-hire) should be commended for keeping the place in great shape. Flamingo is in the gated community of Coral Estates which is beautiful as a whole, but we were glad to be several blocks back from the ocean and UP the hill for several reasons. The view is first reason, the pictures on seen on the web are not professional or retouched - the view from the porch or in the infinity pool is really that wonderful. The second reaon, and possibly even more important to some, is the lack of bugs. We left the front and back doors open every minute we were there and always had a cooling, bug-free, strong breeze. Whenever we went down to Habitat and ate on the water there were little flies and when we traveled to Westpunt resorts to dive everyone complained about mosquitos...we had no nasty bugs at our elevation. I cannot thank Cheryl (one of the owners) enough for all her emails and the massive amounts of travel info and tips she sent us beforehand. All her recommendations helped us plan well and make the most of our week in her fantastic home. If you are used to condos and apartments like we were, Flamingo will leave you feeling spoiled rotten...but then again, that's kinda the point of a vacation, right ?? :)

The house did not disappoint! That view you see on the web site is the real thing and it gets better in person. So many places don't live up to the hype, but we all felt FV did. The website was accurate regarding location. While it's not necessarily easy to find for the first time, we made it without getting lost. The directions might work in the daytime, but at night, when we got there, some landmarks were not visible. We had gone on Google Maps and familiarized ourselves with the route and printed it out, which helped a lot. FV was very clean and well-maintained. The Property Manager, Don, was extremely helpful and nice. Often in the afternoons we would decide to forego any tourist activities in favor of just coming back to the house and hanging out--it's that good. We cooked at least half the nights we were there. The Centrum Market is about 20 minutes away and it has everything you need. Other markets are closer but don't have the selection. If you like good scuba diving, made easy and affordable, go to Porto Mari, about 10 minutes max from the house. The dive shop folks are extremely nice and helpful, the gear good, the beach entry as easy as can be, and the reefs and sealife beautiful! When you're done, there's a full restaurant and bar right there. We loved Shete Boca National Park. It is spectacular. Lanterna Restaurant is great, as is Oceans (which is right down the hill on the water--2 minutes from the house), also great is Steak and Ribs in Willemstad. The markets and shops in Punda and Otra Banda are fun too. We would recommend FV to anyone! The house is truly spectacular, the views unforgettable. It made the trip! The place exudes class and luxury. Note: be careful on the poolside tiles when they get wet as they are slippery. Don't mess with the Iguanas............they have attitude.....

We loved the house so much that this was our second year there. A comfortable beautiful house for 4 couples. The diving on the island is fantastic and there is much to do in town. A great vacation.

We just returned from Flamingo Villa in Curacao in January with 8 of our friends. The week was outstanding, but we all agreed a week was not long enough. The villa met all of our needs. It's a beautiful property with an outstanding view. Don, the property manager was very helpful with things to see and do. We also found the location to be a plus. The dive shop is 2 minutes away along with a great restaurant at Habitat Curacao. A nice touch which Cheryl, Dave, and Chela arranged at our request, was having Heidi prepare our dinner two of the evenings we were there. This worked out great for the minimal additional cost. This was arranged directly with Heidi. What a great chef. If you're into diving the area for rinsing dive gear was a great thought when designing the house. Between the ten of us we really couldn't think of anything we would change. We will be back.
Owner response: Thank you for your very kind and informative review. It was a pleasure having your party of 10 stay with us and found our accommodations fit your needs. We were so glad that our private in-house chef worked out, allowing the birthday celebration to be relaxing and fun. We look forward to welcoming you back to Flamingo Villa! CDC ~

We had a great time. The house is spacious, in a great, quiet location. Diving and beach are down the road. The owner are very nice and attentive from giving tips before heading to Curacao, making sure all is good while there through following up after the stay. Highly recommend. If you stay in a house like this, you would never want to stay in a hotel or resort again!
