Amazing views; Great Diving Minutes Away

The house is just as described - spacious, quiet/safe neighborhood, close to town/diving, & great views. The villa is very well-equipped with most everything you could need. It is set up well for divers, with rinse tub/shower to clean yourself and your gear, plus areas to dry gear. We used Dive Friends Hamlet Oasis for tanks rental - highly recommend + host got us a discount. Recommend bringing beach towels, lots of mosquito spray, and earplugs (parakeets are beautiful, but get up early and can be loud). We bought a folding camp chair at Kooyman to use at the beach - or you can rent one at Joor Beach Supplies (must reserve online). Best: The host (Anouk) is VERY responsive and made sure we had all we needed, including leading us to the house from the airport. Thank you!

Private, huge, good view, nice pool

Wau! The villa was huge, much bigger than we thought! And it was very clean and nicely decorated. The balcony/terrace upstairs was also very huge and very nice place to eat, chill out, enjoy the scenery, barbecue etc... There was mosquitos in the time of sun rise and sun set but no other times. We used only the upstairs apartment and pool deck, so we have no idea about the downstairs apartment. There was no stairs from upstairs to the pool deck, we needed always to go around the villa to get there. Pool deck was well big enough for the two of us and all the huge iguanas and parrots who visited us daily. Pool itself was great! The villa was in very quiet and private place. It was after all very easy to find and the owners pickup truck was perfect way to drive around the small island. Only thing bothering us was that we spent there 12 nights and there was no cleaning included in the middle, so the floors did get very dirty at least in the balcony. We highly recommend this place!

Lovely place to stay - great for our large group

We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa Eldorado. It was very quiet and relaxing and the views were spectacular. The pictures do not do the views and property justice - it's much prettier! We were a group of 8 adults in Bonaire to dive and relax! The villa was perfect for us as there was space for everyone to do what they wished after the dives... take naps or read on the breezy covered lannai or down by the poolside deck, swim, watch tv, cook, or play games at the table. We never felt crowded - which is a big deal for a large group. The property is surrounded by trees so we saw lots of butterflies, hummingbirds & parakeet, etc. The street that the villa is on is very quiet so there was not a lot of traffic and the property was fairly private - which we really appreciated. It was well equipped for divers with rinse tub and storage room for gear etc. The villa itself was clean and well-furnished, and the utensils for cooking & eating were well-stocked. Pieter the caretaker was very nice and most of all prompt, helpful and responsive. The villa owner was very responsive and answered all of our questions prior to arrival promptly and thoroughly, which was very reassuring. This took the worry out of booking the property, especially one 1000's of miles away. It was very easy to work with the owners. Overall, we had a great time and the property was as advertised, if not better than advertised. We highly recommend staying at the Villa Eldorado. Thanks much!

Just a great home away from home

Just a wonderful house, with a stunning view a great pool in a nice area! The huge porch gives space for looking at sunsets, for kids to play and adults to lounge. Dealt via mail with the owner that always answered promptly. On arrival and departure Ellen was present and very on time. We were visiting with our family and can strongly recommend this house for your stay. We will be back! :-)

Hard to find, easy to stay at

Finding this house is a challenge. The directions are AT the house, which isn't helpful and they are long. We arrived after dark so it was extremely hard to find. The house has wonderful space both inside and out. It was a bit inconvenient to not have some essentials such as dish soap and dish cloths. We also had to buy toilet paper. I realize that when you rent a house, you will have to bring or buy some things but I feel as though the essentials should be there. The outdoor space is HUGE and wonderful. The view was great. It would have been nice to just walk outside to the pool but since we only rented the upstairs, we had to walk around the house. Not a big deal. The worst part was the no see ums and mosquitoes. I am not sure anything could be done about that but if the house could be sprayed for them, that might help.

Wonderful Villa Eldorado

My advice... Rent this place! My family and I came out for 8 nights during the recent winter break. We simply had a great time. Anouk has set up a very professional system for the rental. She arranges for a driver (we had Hank) to pick you up at the airport. Once at the house there is a reliable pickup truck right on the property available for rental. Ellen is the very pleasant caretaker who meets you at the property and gives you a tour of the house and how everything works. She provides you her contact info if you have any questions about the house or island. There's even a cell phone in the house if you feel the need to carry one. It's as easy as can be! The house itself is perfect. It's located in a quiet, safe neighborhood, on a hillside, just a quick drive from the town. It's stylish and well furnished. Beds are all very comfortable. The large lanai overlooks the pool and has 270 degree ocean and town views. Landry on the property. The kids just loved the pool. The garden and landscaping was impeccable. Bonaire was such a great low key destination. Just great snorkeling all over the place; but particularly around the island of Klein Bonaire. We saw rays, octopus, turtles, large barracuda, bonefish, eels, on and on... Bonaire Secret: there is a nice small beach at the "Red Beryl" dive spot where you can swim, hang out, and watch the kite boarders. Thank you Anouk, Ellen, and Hank for a wonderful trip!

Mooie villa voor een familievakantie

Mooi gelegen villa met een fantantisch uitzicht over het eiland en de zee vanaf de grote porche. Heerlijk op de wind gelegen. Groot genoeg voor een gezin of 2/3 stellen, doordat de slaapkamers alledrie ruim zijn, tweede badkamer is een beetje klein. Zwembad ook heerlijk, jammer dat je om moet lopen voor het zwembad. Wij hebben met onze (schoon)kinderen en kleinkind een hele leuke vakantie, op dit fantastische eiland, gehad. Dit mede door de prima huisvesting.

Awesome place!! Great Owners! Highly Recommend!!!

I and my four friends absolutely loved the house! We had a blast staying there, it was everything we expected and more. Nice clean ample space, not to mention the beautiful pool that is overlooking Bonaire! The property manager was very sweet showing us around. If your ever thinking about vacationing in Bonaire then villa ElDorado is the place to be! I can't wait to come back :-) Thank you again!!!

Feels like a home and has all the conveniences

We recently spent 10 days in Villa ElDorado and couldn't have been happier with the property selection for our 3rd family vacation on Bonaire. The house and garden are as beautiful as the photos, and the pool is really special. The home is well-maintained and clean and is very practical for a large group. Although we have never met, I feel we know the owners well through our e-mail correspondances! They have been very accommodating and have a dependable couple managing the property on site. As Bonaire is a small island, nothing is too far away. Villa ElDorado is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a hillside with a lovely breeze and wonderful view of Klein Bonaire! I would certainly recommend this home to a friend.

Super relaxed private getaway with stunning view, great porch/balcony en beautiful garden with pool

What a wonderfull house, we loved it there! The view is so beautiful, you keep looking, while the sky keeps changing and the sunset is breathtaking. The enormous balcony with roof on the 2nd floor is a great place, also when it is raining, which is seldom, but you have a really nice spot there. The two kitchens make it an easy place to occupy with two families. We love all the nice details like the hand made signs from driftwood, next to the pool and at the entrance, so much fun! Nice things to do: favourite spot was Jibe City, the beach and the windsurfing. But the spontanuous BBQ on the beach was also great fun. The Washington Slagbaai Park was amazing, really beautiful. Great restaurants: City Café and Captain Don's Habitat / Rum Runners. We enjoyed your great hospitality and hope to come back soon, thank you so much!

AMAZING, could not be better

We could not recommend this listing higher. We just returned from our 2 week honeymoon at the villa- and we will be back! This pictures of the place do not even to it justice- it was absolutely beautiful, super clean, and had everything you would need. The deck is gigantic and you have a beautiful view of the ocean- we ate out there every night! Look out for the gecko behind the fake gecko on the wall- he hangs out there every night. The kitchen is well equipped and beautiful, so you can cook your own meals on vacation, which is great. The car is another awesome addition- not having to rent a car is a huge plus, and it was a great truck. The pool is awesome and very clean as well. It is a short drive to town, and a very good central location to get to wherever you want to go on the island. We had a great experience with the owners and as well with the caretakers who live on Bonaire- they were incredible helpful throughout our trip. We'll definitely be back with friends & family!

What a beautiful home from home.

What a fabulous villa this is... Absolutely beautiful inside & out. A lot of care & attention has been spent on getting it together & it's greatly appreciated. The garden is very pretty & as the description says, it's private so you're not overlooked. When we arrived the place was spotless & Ellen was a great help with local knowledge & any extra information we needed. She is a lovely lady to deal with on the owners behalf & nothing is too much trouble. We spent many hours lounging by the lovely pool or on the huge veranda watching the boats out at sea between the beach & Klein Bonaire or laughing at the antics of the parrots! They are a great alarm call in the morning - if the sunshine hasn't woken you up -& a fun way to start the day. ;-) Although we spent our days diving at various sites around the island it was great to get back afterwards for a relax & a well earned beer! It's a lovely quiet area with friendly neighbours & some gorgeous wild donkeys so it's very easy to kick back & just watch the world go by. We have stayed in Bonaire a few times & stayed at the owners other villa & loved that but El Dorado really is a piece of paradise. Thank you again Anouk & George for sharing your beautiful home from home with us, it was a pleasure & a priviledge.... Same time next year please! ;-) x

As advertized.

This was our first time at this property -- second trip to Bonaire. We wanted a house since we were there for 2 weeks. There were 4 of us -- 2 divers and 2 snorklers. The house is located near the top of the hill in the Santa Barbera subdivision with an unobstructed 180 degree view of the west side of the island. Easy 5-10 minute drive to downtown and/or Buddy Dive from whom we rented unlimited tanks ($150/pp per week). All 3 bedrooms are equally nice -- something you often don't get in a 3-bedroom situation. So, if you went with 3 couples no one would end up in the "kids" room. The kitchen was well equipped and there were leftover spices, sugar, toilet paper, etc. so you don't start from scratch with every visitor. There is A/C in every bedroom along with ceiling fans. We hardly used it since there was always a nice breeze and it WAS January. The place was very clean and there was a binder with all the info you needed on the details of the property. We were met at the airport by a cab driver holding a card with our name who handed us the keys and dropped us off at Villa Eldorado. The 2011 4-door diesel truck which is optionally iavailable at roughly $50/day (insurance included) was clean, new and in excellent condition. Much nicer than anything you could rent at the same price from an agency. There was even a wooden tank rack for the scuba tanks. Since we were mostly interested in the ocean, we hardly used the nicely decked and chaired pool area which was situated in an attractive, secure, private back yard. With the exception of the front gate/wall, the entire property is bordered by a cactus fence. There is an outdoor shower, a tub for rinsing gear and a clothesline with lots of wooden pins. Things dried quickly in the constant breezes. The only issue we had was a lack of hot water for the first week since the propane tank was empty when we arrived. The shared bathroom shower had an in-line heater, so at least we weren't taking cold showers. Hey - it's an island. Bottom line: Look at the photos and read the description. What you see is what you get.-- and it's all good!

Fantastic Home

What a great rental home. So spacious - much much more than our family of four could have possibly needed. This property would be perfect for several couples on a dive vacation as the kitchens and dining allows a large group to dine together on the porch. While the home is a fair ways to town, the views are great. Yard and home are very well kept, the pool could have seen more attention and I am sure that in future that will also be attended to as is the rest of the property.

Eldorado

The villa Eldorado was just lovely, every you needed was there plus more. The porch or lanai was great for the view, coffee, dining or just relaxing. Our grandchildren loved the house and pool and all the birds and donkeys and iguanas. The kitchen is very well done, lots of dishes and pots and nice appliances. The bed are comfortable and and airco was nice. The street and neighborhood are very good and the ocean views are wonderful. The house was very clean and Pieter took care of the minor problems for us. The owner is very easy to work with and we appreciate how attentive she is to your questions. Snorkling, the scenery, the national park, the Sorbon area are not to be missed. We liked Cactus Blue , Mi Banana, and Norca's restaurants. There is a grocery that is new, More for less, you would turn left at the end of Kaya Korona away from town. It had Dutch foods, good produce and good meats. We would recommend this and would come back. Thanks Anouk and George

divine villa on divine island! Great place for or family

We have been very lucky to experience this new villa with our family (3 small kids) this May (2011). No word is exaggerated : great view/ great pool/ fantastic porch/ super rooms. Villa has lots of space and is all equipped. We truly enjoyed our stay.Very easy island for family with young children (beach/surfing/snorkeling); nice (family) restaurants or easy grocery shopping for eating (BBQ) at home. Porch very tempting :-) Villa is conveniently located between beach/ park and main city. Great new car to explore the Island (with kids in back!). Definitely are coming back!

Great villa/ great view

We had a wonderful stay in El Dorado with our family (two teenage daughters). From the porch the view of the ocean and the island is really phantastic. You can see that the owners are architects, the villa is tastefully decorated and has all the luxuries you need. Lots of space. Kids loved to hang around in the pool. Bonaire is great for watersports, especially diving, snorkling and windsurfing and all interesting places are easy to visit with the new Ford Pick-up that come with the house . We have definitively go back there next year.

About the host

We are both architects from AG architecten Haarlem Holland and we love Bonaire. We try to go there at least twice a year with our two sons. We are into watersports and diving.


Note: if you are looking for a smaller house or if there is no more availability on the rental-calendar, we also have a Watervilla (2 bedroom house plus 2 bedroom apartment) for rent. Just send us an Inquiry for the Villa Eldorado and ask us for this alternative.

Why they chose this property

The best place to get away from our hectic life :)

What makes this property unique

The view is fantastic, you will be tempted to just stay on the porch and look around you all day. The private pool is only a few steps away.....
