Beautiful house with amazing outdoor space and great location! The ACs all worked well, the kitchen was well stocked and the host had amazing communication. The only downside was the host was around very often and had to come through the backyard to water plants a few times during our stay. But we had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again!Five Stars!

Hi Mendy. Thank for your review. I only water the plants 2x. You called me 4 times. To check the remotes. They were fine. You asked me to come over to change the gate door to manual as you could not use remotes on your sabath days. Then you asked me to put the door back to electric. Then you asked me for more guest supplies. Which I brought to you. I did what you requested. I always attend to my guests with their requests. Thank you for your stay. Hope to see back on the island. Kind regards Lidia
The villa was very very clean!! It was great speaking to Lidia! When you sent her a message she responded right away! There was 8 adults staying at the villa, there was plenty of room. The rooms were spacious and clean! The pool outside was beautiful!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you Lidia!
Perfect place to relax and enjoy the island. Location was perfect
We had a wonderful stay. If anything that could be added, it’s a washer/ dryer.

Thank you Christine and family. I enjoy having you all as my guests during the New Year. I know you enjoyed the phenomal fireworks on the second floor in the balcony on the island at midnight. The washer and dryer are added very soon. Kindest regards. Lidia
Host (Lydia) was fantastic. She went above and beyond to accomodate our needs, offer recommendations for local activities, and answer any questions. Villa was spotless, plenty of privacy and a great location.

The owner Lidia was super kind and anything we needed she would respond right away! The house was beautiful gave just at home vibes. House location was right in the middle of everything we planned to go to. House had AC in every room that was a plus. In other words it fit my family of 7 perfectly well in there. If we plan another trip we would definitely book here again!!
We were looking for a nice place to stay that didn’t incorporate your typical hotel vacation but close enough to experience all of what Aruba has to offer. Lidia and this home delivered that opportunity.
Many thanks…

Thank ypu all foe your stay. You were all very nice and tidy family.
I enjoyed being your host and hope to see back soon! Greetings from Aruba
I cannot say enough good things about our host Lidia or the house itself - we had a perfect time in Aruba, and we were all just so happy to be "home" at the end of each day to unwind and relax by the pool, enjoying our own company.
Lidia is a wonderfully communicative and helpful host and I truly hope we get to come back (soon!) as we would absolutely love to stay here again!

Hey there! The Ferraras!
Thank you all for your stay at "The Encanto House" Hope to see you all back soon!! And thank you for your review. It is highly appreciated! All the best Lidia
We enjoyed our stay, just a couple things that would improve property: gas grill, beach chairs, starter kit with paper towels and better equipped kitchen. Larger coffee maker. Pros of property , outdoor space A/C , neighbors that are super quiet, clean, friendly owner. We go all over island so we use rental car and it’s a quick drive to some beaches. Great stay
We had a great time staying here! Lidia (I hope I’m spelling that correctly) was an amazing host. Easy to communicate with, quick to respond and very welcoming. I highly recommend this property.One thing that was a bit different for us than our usual USA VRBO rentals is the one load of wash once a week. But the washing machine at the property holds plenty of laundry so our family of 4 was able to wash everything in the one load. The pool was a really nice amenity to have and all the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a memorable trip to Aruba.
Lidia was very welcoming and the villa was in good condition and she attended to all of our needs. 2 reasons for good not excellent. When we arrived the house was wide open that probably let mosquitos into house and my companion suffered multiple bites where in 2 previous trips to Aruba she had none. And the lack of good hot water in shower and kitchen was not to our liking with hand held shower

Dear John,
Thank you for your review.
I receive all my guests with an open house up on arrival, as I want them to see the potential of the Villa. It is up to the guest to decide whether they enjoy our nice caribean breeze or they can chose to close the Villa with the air conditioning. A lot of guests prefer the open concept also. I had sprays for mosquitos in the kitchen pantry, but you never mentioned anything about mosquitos during your stay. On the contrary the wind chases the mosquitos away.
Aruba utility company does not supply homes with hot tap water. Hot water was personally added to the showers of the Villa for your comfort. You also did not inform me that the water was not hot enough. You probably did not push the 2nd level on the electric hot water equipment.
Thank again for your stay and comments!
Kindest regards,
Lidia
Absolutely gorgeous villa. We were wowed by the colors of the house that made it feel so tropical. Everything was very clean. The outdoor living space is amazing with plenty of seating as well as a hammock. The ambience from the lights above the patio and the pool at night are simply amazing. Great location about 5 minute drive from Palm Beach and we were also able to order delivery very easily. Lidia was a wonderful host, very responsive and eager to assist us with anything we may have needed. I would highly recommend!!

Villa was clean w/ spacious interior & well-maintained pool & exterior spaces in sun & shade. The on-site owner offered immediate, responsive communication prior to & during our stay.This site was more costly than 3 bed, 3 bath homes w/ pvt. pool in the area we enjoyed on previous Aruba holidays. Laundry (washer) access was limited to "1 load" per week rental (inadequate for families or combo of individuals). NO laundry detergent, NO paper products except TP, NO condiments (sugar, salt), NO first AM coffee were provided as offered by previous hosts upon arrival. The owner did provide spray for mosquito bites after our exposure inside the house were brought to her attention. We are a family of 3 adults unlikely to rent this facility again.

Dear Cheryl, Thank you for your stay and review @ Villa Encantada.
As I was checking in your son Brett, he informed he was impressed about the Villa's size, nature, garden and the spacious patio outside the Villa. He said it is bigger then the previous stays in Aruba. He said you might get lost in it! This bigger and spacious Villa requires most maintenance and other expenses to keep it in good shape. This explains why it is more costly.
The washing machine takes up to 20 kilos of laundry per load. That why the standard is set for 1 x week. But when ever a guest has more laundry needs I have always accommodated them. Most of the time I provide the laundry supplies unless they have their own preference in laundry detergents. The machine is a computer so most of the time I set the settings for the guests that need more help. If you would have request me laundry I would have accommodated you. I have asked you all for a phone number that we can better communicate through WhatsApp, you said "no". I have send you a message through VRBO giving you my phone number so you can contact me with any issues or concerns. I have not received any response. I have respected your privacy and decision.
I have informed Brett that I do not provide condiments or coffee because my guests have their own preference in coffee and seasonings. Some get even offended to share these items. I do provide a coffee maker so they can enjoy their own coffee.
As I was watering the plants I have asked you how you were doing? You informed that you had some mosquito bites, The villa is the nature plus I have a beautiful garden, so mosquitos is possible. Brett and Leslie said they did not have any issues with mosquitos. So immediately I bought you 2 sprays, One for your room and one to spray on your body.
Thank you for staying at the Villa. I would like to wish you all the best in your future endeavors! Kind regards Lidia
We had a great time on our first trip to Aruba, and this house was a big part of it. Everything was as described and Lidia was so helpful and welcoming. We had everything we needed for our stay and the one minor issue we had was handled right away. The rooms were very nice, the kitchen was large and the outside area very relaxing. The pool was well maintained and perfect to cool off in. Beautiful beaches, restaurants, shopping and nightlife were all a quick 5 minute drive away. Overall a great experience.
Nice house, clean, very responsive and attentive owner. Had wonderful time with our group of 7.
Would definitely consider for future.
