About Audrey Zamkow

Stan dives and does a little windsurfing. Audrey snorkels and just retired so she can spend more time on Bonaire.

Why Audrey Zamkow chose Belnem

We first visited Bonaire almost 25 years ago, staying at the old Sunset Beach Hotel. We loved the place, the nicest people, the diving, everything about it. We gave thought to buying something but there really wasn't much for sale back then, and with a young daughter we decided that it just wouldn't work for us at the time. Fast forward 20 years. Our friends, Mike and Craig, retired and started spending good parts of the winter in Bonaire, leaving their wives home to work (their wives choice!) Mike was either windsurfing or waiting for the wind and Craig diving every day and sneaking in some windsurfing. They were renting at various places, including Lighthouse Beach. We started coming down with their wives, Shelley and Karen (respectively) to visit in February, first staying at Coco Palm Gardens and then with all of them when they bought their place at Kings Beach Resort. Always a wonderful time, Craig and I diving every day, the ladies on the beach at Lac Bay while Mike was windsurfing. Cocktail hour on the beach every night followed by a great dinner, the result of either group cooking at home or at one of the many great restaurants like Cuba Compagnie, Mi Banana or the old Cactus Blue. One year, while Audrey was hanging out with Shelley, Karen, and some of their friends, someone mentioned this really nice place for sale next door so Audrey said we should go see it. I had no interest in buying anything but went along with it because that's how you stay married for 40+ years. :-) LBR #13 was just such a great place that we came away thinking that maybe this was the time to fulfill that 25 year old dream. So, we took the figurative 'giant stride' into the deep water and here we are the owners of this beautiful home.

What makes this Townhome unique

We are sure that once you stay with us you will join the league of Triskadekaphiles* We want this to be the best value vacation rental on Bonaire. There will always be cheaper rooms in less desirable locations but we strive to make LBR #13 the best value. No 'nickle and dime' add-ons for air conditioning or internet. No having to go to the lobby to share the wi-fi. There is even a private local phone for making dive boat and dinner reservations or placing your BBQ order at Bobbejans. Our US based phone lets you stay in touch with home for free and includes $10 in free calls to Europe. While Bonaire is a very safe place, the added security of steel bars and a private document safe can provide an extra measure of comfort in your home away from home.
