Aruba Villa - Heaven On Earth - spacious, friendly and well maintained

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this lovely, immaculate home. It is situated in a very nice neighborhood to the north of the island. Even though Isan, the local property manager, was called out of town on a family emergency, he made sure that we were well taken care of. Patrick, his partner, met us at the home and went over the written check list to made sure we understood how everything worked. Isan's wife Sandra was also very helpful when she was on site several times. We were a little concerned about going over the allotted electricity usage, but this was not an issue. The first day usage was higher than normal to get the house to the initial coolness we desired, but after that we only turned off the air conditioners when we weren't home and didn't come close to going over the allotted amount. Beaches, restaurants and shopping, and attractions were very convenient by car. GPS is a must since streets are not clearly marked. Beautiful beaches were easy to get to and there was ample parking and "huts" available to shade the sun and reduce the wind. Arashi beach (a bit to the north) and Palm Beach where the high rise hotels are were closest. Eagle Beach was just a few minutes farther south but was a much larger beach and was better for taking long walks. The pool was tremendous when we finished with the beach. Eating breakfast, late night snacks and drinks, and just lounging on the patio at the pool were really special. There are several small grocery stores within a couple of minutes and Superfoods, a full service grocery store was only 10 minutes away. Many great restaurants were less than 10 minutes drive and it was well worth the longer drive to eat at Flying Fishbone, on the water about 50 minutes to the south. We had an issue with hot water in one of the bathrooms because of the way the solar heating of water worked but it was not a big problem. All in all it was a spectacular vacation.

I stayed in this house in April of 2018. The house is in a perfect location, not far from the beach and some of the resorts. The house is gorgeous and well taken care of. The pool area is a great place to hang out, with lounge chairs and even two hammocks.

Isan is AWESOME! He is the property manager for this location. He met us at check in and did a walk-through of the house. He even had some wine for us when we checked in. I had his number to contact him if I needed anything at all through the week.

We loved staying at this house and there was plenty of room for 10 adults.

You can walk directly across the barren land behind the house to get to the beach but I would much more recommend calling a cab if you didn't rent a car.

I would love to stay at this property again!

This home in Aruba was perfect for our two families! Great location to all of the beaches and restaurants. The pool and outdoor space was our favorite place to hang out together! We would love to stay there again!

We had 4 adult couples stay here, and the location is great. We spent most of our time in the outdoor area, which is VERY comfortable! The pool was great to cool off once in a while. It's a bit of a hike to the beach on foot, but just a few minutes by car. There's a small local grocery store right down the street, just a few minutes by car that we frequented for ice/beer/wine, etc. The bedrooms are very nice, quiet with comfortable beds and chilly A/C!. The bathrooms are all also very nice (& classy) The decor throughout is perfect! One of the things that we REALLY liked, because we cooked quite a bit at the house, was that the kitchen is VERY well stocked with supplies. There's a large spice drawer with everything you would need. Olive oil, cooking oils, Zip lock bags, foil, tupperware, some condiment type things. Most of the time, all of these items are removed after you'de check out on Saturday. Im very glad there were left here, as we were able to use a lot of it. Its nice not to have to run to the store for a table spoon of seasoning!! Also, Esan (the caretaker) is an amazing guy! If you need anything, he always answers his phone, and is very accommodating! The house is close enough to the high rise area, that a quick car/cab ride gets you right there, but it's far enough away from the hustle & bustle to be a very quiet and relaxing setting. Sunrises and Sunsets are both perfectly viewable from the pool area! We' d DEFINITELY do this one again!!

We were a group of 6 adult women and rented out the 4 main rooms. Everything was perfect. The house is well appointed - washer/dryer, hair dryers, lots of towels, coolers, beach chairs, a very well stocked kitchen complete with spices. Truly like a home away from home.

The house is very spacious and we never felt like we were tripping over each other. The pool area is lovely and we were visited every day by adorable blue geckos and colorful birds. It has an outdoor shower to rinse the sand off after the beach. The pool has a built in lounge area overlooking the open expanse behind. We spent a lot of time out there, eating, swimming and talking. The rooms are spacious and all have king size beds.

The house is located in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood about a 10 minute drive from the main hotel zone and lots of gorgeous beaches. We rented a car which made getting around easy. (maps.me for data free gps.....it's amazing).

I would highly recommend this home for a family gathering, or a group of friends looking for a larger home.
