THE SPACE
Outdoor Space
Step into your private backyard oasis. Off the dining room is a covered patio with plenty of seating, perfect for relaxing. Enjoy the saltwater pool and soak up the sun, then rinse off at the outdoor shower after a beach day. Fire up the gas grill and dine poolside at the outdoor table under the string lights, or rock under the stars on the large wooden swing.

Kitchen/Dining
The modern, fully equipped kitchen has a gas stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge with the freezer on the bottom and an ice maker, drip coffee maker, toaster, and all the cookware, utensils and dishes you need. There's plenty of seating at the kitchen bar, the breakfast nook and the adjoining dining area. With large groups the ice maker may not keep up, so you may need to buy extra ice.
A starter pack of 1 roll of paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, dish soap and a sponge is provided. Condiments are not provided but are left for the next guest if applicable.

Living Room
The spacious, bright living room connects to the dining area and has a 55-inch TV (just bring your own passwords for Netflix, Hulu and other streaming apps) and plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing or family gatherings. Gather at the game table for chess, checkers or cards.

Bedroom 1: master suite with a king bed
Bedroom 2: king bed

Each bathroom has fresh towels, hand soap, a hairdryer, 2 rolls of toilet paper, and wall dispensers in the shower with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The brand varies based on availability, so if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend bringing your own.

We do not provide beach umbrellas or pool floats, but we leave pool floats behind when previous guests leave them in good condition. For sanitary reasons, we do not provide or keep snorkel gear.

The home is beautiful, spacious, and nicely decorated. The rooms are large, and the backyard is perfect for relaxing. The location is also great, with easy access to both Palm Beach and Eagle Beach. We had a wonderful stay in Aruba. There were six of us, including three children ages 10, 7, and 3, and the home worked perfectly for our family.

Plenty of room

Our group was my Dad, my husband and our 3 kids ages 15-23. We had plenty of room to hang out together in the living room or outside. Having 3 bathrooms was helpful. The outdoor space was amazing. Although, you could walk to the beach, we preferred to drive. That way we could explore many beaches. We enjoyed the list of restaurants provided. We will definitely stay here again.

Aruba

The house was absolutely beautiful. My grandchildren loved the pool and were in the pool morning, noon and nights. The house was super clean and my daughter loved the kitchen, access to the washer and dryer. We did not have television on all week we basically lived outside in the lovely outdoor area. We would definitely rent again.

This was our first time in Aruba and couldn't have been happier with this villa. We wanted something away from the resorts but close enough to easily get to restaurants and beaches.. this place provides that. Everything was clean and as pictured in the listing. The villa had everything we needed, from cooking items, beach chairs, etc. There was plenty of room to spread out; the outside seating was covered and provided a great place to chill by the pool. With the breeze, the covered seating was cool enough to sit and enjoy the day. The hosts provided great communication. We were very happy with our stay.

Amazing Stay for Big Group of Family & Friends

PHENOMENAL!! this house is seriously TOP TIER. It has everything you need for your vacation-comfortable beds, ginormous stocked kitchen, convenient stuff like coolers for the beach, beach chairs, amazing pool and sweet outdoor patio to just hang out, eat dinner outside… I really could go on and on. There are 2 huge master bedrooms with their own bathrooms, plus other bedrooms and bath, king beds, and the rest of the house has big rooms and loads of space to just spread out, unwind after a day at the beach and just chill. We had a group of 8 and we were all extremely comfortable. I’ve stayed at a few of places in Noord and near the High Rise area, and I can say that this villa is a must book on your trip to Aruba or Palm Beach. At night, it is an easy walk to the restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs, etc We will definitely be booking here the next time on the island!

Just Awesome in every way!

We had such an awesome family vacation at your home. It was so beautifully decorated and spacious- large rooms, plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The pool and patio were amazing, nice big grill, and it was so glorious waking up every morning to the sun shining, cool breezes. Loads of space for families and perfect location. We were at the beach every day, and out and about every night; close and convenient to everything. Salt water pool was very relaxing to just chill in and the beds were extra comfortable. Would highly recommend and would most definitely book again – we go to Aruba every year! Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality!

Absolutely Loved "The Star of the Sea"

My sisters and I went for a little getaway; this villa exceeded all our expectations! The minute that we walked in, we were in love with "Star of the Sea." House is so beautiful, so comfortable and spotlessly clean. Outdoor living space perfectly decorated, lovely, comfortable furnishings, so many little gathering places to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed the saltwater pool! Bedrooms were very nice, beds comfortable- slept great. Three immaculate bathrooms (important to us ladies) plus pool shower. The villa is located in a quiet residential area, about 5 minutes by car to all the shops, restaurants, Palm Beach. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful House "Star of the Sea"

My husband and I wanted to get away somewhere fun and sunny for a holiday with a couple of old friends, and this elegant, luxurious “Star of the Sea” villa near the High-Rises and Palm Beach sure fit the bill! Stayed in Aruba hotels many times, but with everything going on, wanted a more private experience. Absolutely loved this spacious, charming, well-appointed villa when we arrived - nearby to everything (beaches, restaurants), in a classy, upscale area: off the beaten path, but three-four minutes by car to beaches, shopping, food, etc. House had a splendid, mood-changing, tropical, beachy ambience that gave us the vacation vibe right away! It has a delightful patio under string lights for a cocktail and outdoor dinner in the evenings, where we also soaked in the privacy of our own pool, spread out on the generous couches, chairs and chaises, and listenedto the trade winds in the palm trees. Breeze on the patio was terrific! The best thing about this rental was definitely the large outdoor living space with its ample, comfortable furniture and whimsical decor, but the inside was amazing, too. There were two delightful, palatial en-suite Master Bedrooms (we stayed in one, our friends in the other) in addition to the smaller couple of bedrooms (didn’t even use them). Each room was appealingly decorated with a coastal/beach theme, which created a great “away in a tropical paradise” atmosphere. There were a lot of extras, too: shower toiletries, beach and bath towels, beach chairs, and travel cooler. Juan, the property manager, was friendly and helpful, and met us right away to show us the house and answer our questions. I would highly recommend this lavish, beautiful villa; location is ideal and all its amenities and extras are fantastic.

Luxurious House next to Palm Beach/High Rise

We booked this vacation on short notice with a group of 6 family members, including our two children, who were able to remote school from Aruba! Really liked the location- a three minute drive (or a 10-15 minute walk, if you are up for it) to Palm Beach Plaza, downtown, hotels, restaurants, and, of course, gorgeous beaches. Neighborhood was top notch, and located on a quiet side street. The house itself was very beautiful, with plenty of large living and gathering spaces inside and out, and the unique way it was decorated totally got us in the mood for a tropical vacation! 😊 Everything super-clean and well-maintained. The house basically had two Master Suites, so my husband and I stayed in one, and my in-laws in the other. Absolutely loved the Master Bath with its huge, walk-in shower. Outdoor amenities wonderful: private salt-water pool, nice big covered patio area with sectional couch, new looking grill, outdoor dining table and seating with string lights overhead so that all of us could have dinner together - very memorable! We are beachgoers too, so the beach chairs, beach towels & cooler were great. House was new, lovely, clean, bright, comfy: well-equipped kitchen, lots of comfortable seating, beds good, TV in everyone’s bedroom, 3 bathrooms which came in handy with six people there. The on-site host, Juan, was terrific- he met us and saw us off, always answered his phone, had endless patience for my many questions, and gave us some great recommendations! Can’t wait to come back!
