About Paul and Sue Gibbs
We are just an ordinary English couple, who visited Aruba with our family for a two week vacation in 2013, and were captivated by the beauty and warmth of the island and its inhabitants. Having fallen in love with all that Aruba has to offer, we decided to buy a property to enjoy ourselves, and to rent to others who can also create happy memories of this exceptional island.
Paul and Sue Gibbs purchased this House in 2014
Why Paul and Sue Gibbs chose Westpunt
We fell in love with Aruba during our 2013 vacation, and felt the same way about Villa Chuchubi from the moment we walked through the front door. The open plan kitchen/living/dining area is HUGE, with a large and shady terrace for eating and lounging, just the other side of the patio door from the kitchen. The pool invites you to jump in, as soon as you step out into the lush, tropical gardens, and the pretty thatched palapa offers welcome shade from the heat of the Aruban sun.
What makes this House unique
* Stunning gardens and pool * HUGE open plan kitchen/living/dining area * Large master suite with walk-through closet and en-suite bathroom * Quiet neighborhood close to Palm Beach * Perfect base for a vacation in the paradise island of Aruba

Can't wait to return!!
We stayed at Villa Chuchubi from March 9, 2018 to March 17, 2018. Our stay was wonderful!!
Check-in and check-out was a breeze with the property manager, Julie, who gave us a tour of the house. The home and property is wonderful and the pictures accurately depict the house. There is a big kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms were a good size and the air-conditioning worked perfectly. But, it was the outdoor space that makes this house special. The sitting/dining area off the kitchen and the pool area were our favourite. We enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening in this area. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the breeze.
Arashi Beach, Boca Catalina (great snorkelling) and Malmok Beach are less than a five minute drive from the house. We packed a cooler and chairs and headed to the beach every afternoon. We rented bikes for the week and biked to the beach (10 minutes) and to California Lighthouse (20 min) to watch the sunrise and sunset.
We would definitely return to Villa Chuchubi. Hopefully for longer than a week.
Thank you for your great review. Bike rental is something that is available locally and many of our guests enjoy, because of the close proximity to the beach and so many other great places to explore. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
It is the best kept secret
Sue makes everything so easy at this wonderful house. We come in and shed our shoes and our cold climate and our cares. The owners have thought of every need. They have wonderful people to work with and they maintain the house and grounds beautifully. Julie is a great manager. The pool people came twice in one week. The yard is maintained weekly. The whole place is immaculate.
We have been here twice and I foresee further visits.
Wow! Thank you so much. We were really happy to welcome you back to Villa Chuchubi once again, and glad you felt at home as soon as you arrived. We hope this was the second of many more visits, as it is always good to see returning friends :)
Stunning place!
This house is beautiful and in a great location. Pictures are accurate and Julie was great to work with upon arrival and departure. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you! Good to hear that you had a great time at Villa Chuchubi and that you received good service from our Property Managers. We hope to see you again.
Well located
We enjoyed our stay at this property especially the outdoor pool area. The amenities (i.e. BBQ, cooking facilities, air conditioning) are of high quality The property is close to the top beaches and restaurants. Sue and Paul were very responsive to our questions.
Thank you! The outside space is a firm favourite with our guests, and is a great place to relax. We hope you left Aruba with some happy memories :)
Great Destination for Christmas
Wow, what a Great Christmas break we had at Villa Chuchubi. This home is beautiful! The three bedrooms are large with plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. The Living Room is big with plenty of seating to sit with family and relax after a day at the beach. The eat in kitchen seats a large group comfortably. There is everything you would need in the kitchen to cook meals your entire stay. The outdoor sitting area off the kitchen was our favorite spot. Our nights always end up there relaxing with a glass wine our playing games as a family. It was also my favorite spot in the morning before the rest of the family was up to sit and have my first cup of coffee. The large private backyard has a beautiful pool which is perfect for ending the day in. Plenty of deck furniture to lounge in the sun and plenty of areas that are covered to hide from it. The house is close to major beaches, restaurants and activities. The neighborhood is tucked away and quiet. The home comes with all types of extras such as pool and beach toys, chairs for the beach and coolers. Probably one of the best equipped and thought out homes that we have rented in the Caribbean. This home is truly a hidden gem!
Thank you! We were so happy to host your Christmas vacation and it was good to hear that you enjoyed the amenities at Villa Chuchubi. Please visit us again soon :)
The villa was perfect!
Everything about this Villa was amazing! Clean, comfortable and relaxing. The communication with Sue was easy and speedy. The management company is excellent!
Thank you for your lovely review, and we are glad the team looked after you. It was also good to hear that you were comfortable at Villa Chuchubi and we hope to see you all again soon :)
