Aruba trip

Our studio was lovely and clean. All that was needed was our luggage. The outside area was very pretty and quiet. Our host Gregory was extremely professional, kind and very helpful. He went over and beyond assisting us with any questions we had. Will definitely be staying there again!!

Simply beautiful

Great quiet property near beaches away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts. Had everything you may need for a short or long term rental. Property owner and manager were a delight to deal with. Definitely need a car rental to get to places. Has plenty of closet space too. Thank you!

Pleasant neighborhood

Greg’s apartment was in a quite neighborhood, close to the beach. We had all everything we needed to prepare some meals ourselves. We had a rental car to get around on the island. The grocery store was close by.

Great place to stay

This was a quiet little get away from the hustle and bustle of the Palm Beach area, yet close enough to drive for dinner. Loved the proximity to our favorite beaches. The studio set up was really nice we liked having a table and chairs outside in the front sitting area as a dinning option. The clothes line in the back was a big plus.The bed however, was not that comfortable for us and I was very sensitive to the Lilly of the Valley air freshener sticks. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and thank you for a great Arubian getaway.

Un logement parfait pour un couple qui apprécie les activités et la tranquillité. Situé près des magnifiques plages de Arashi, Eagle Beach , Palm beach et Boca Catalina puis Malmok pour faire du snokling et des magasins , épicerie et restaurant dans un horizon de moins de 10 minutes. Très calme et sécuritaire et un accueil superbe par les propriétaires.

Beautiful Island!

Happy with our stay! Great communication with Greg. He went out of his way to help me with the car rental company we choose More4less (which was great) and any questions or concerns I had. The Studio property is simple and cozy with what is needed. We just wanted a safe and quiet place to just sleep and shower due to the exploring we wanted to do in the Island. Also, We didn't have any problems with the next door neighbors. Overall had no issues and we are so happy with our stay. Thank you Greg and also Azaira that helped with the checking in and out! Places I would reccomend in the Island would be De Palm Tours 8 Hr Safari Off Roading Tour. Amazing experience! Places to eat on my list would be: Zeerover, Flying Fishbone and Mahara(Lebanse Food).

2 swimsuits and 2 sun dresses is all you need!

If you are in Aruba for Beaching, Sun and Sunsets, this is the perfect location. Extremely private and well located. A beautiful and spacious yard replete with self watering desert and tropical plants and an outdoor shower. Furnished with everything with from beach chairs to can opener! A contemporary and tasteful kitchenette. A large storage room with washing machine. Spacious indoor shower and modern sparkling bathroom. Owner always thoughtful and quickly responsive. We're and old married couple who just returned form nearly 3 weeks there and just grew to love the studio more and more!

Aruban Gem Esmeralda was the perfect getaway!

Esmeralda 104 was exactly as Gregory described on VRBO/HomeAway; the apartment was perfect for a couple. The courtyard was very private complete with flowers and shrubs - it was picture perfect! The outdoor tiled shower area was a great feature that I often used in the evening after the beach. We enjoyed our morning coffee or espresso on the patio watching the different kind of birds that visited. In the garden there were additional Adirondack chairs and loungers to use. The apartment was very clean and well-maintained. We especially loved the bathroom with its gorgeous tiles throughout; the shower area was amazing. There were more than adequate towels for bathroom and beach use. There were also beach chairs to use - a great feature! The kitchen was well equipped including a coffee maker/espresso machine. An important kitchen feature was the provision of cleaning supplies under the sink. Greg responded to any questions we had about the apartment, the immediate area or Aruba almost immediately. In fact he gave us such a list of must sees and do's that we were unable to complete it in our short week there. We toured the island each day including the California Lighthouse in the north with its amazing views, the donkey sanctuary, and of course the beaches , Arashi to the north and Baby and Rodgers beaches in the south. The roads are very well maintained and for the most part the traffic flows well. Aruba has no shortage of restaurants; we tried several including the Driftwood (great fish), Dragonfly (Japanese cuisine) and Café 080 (Dutch/Aruban menu in an outdoor bar setting). Without any reservation, we would recommend this apartment to anyone!

Super relaxing

Another awesome stay in Aruba. This is still a hidden gem for us. Quiet and secluded from the hotels but close to Arashi beach. Greg and Izaira were attentive as always but really wasn’t needed as we had everything at the unit, plus the little extras that make the stay even better. Beach chairs, noodles for the water (they help to snorkel if you are not a great swimmer), coolers, shopping bags . Always love the outdoor shower when we are here too! Spent a little more time at Boca Catalina this time and the snorkelling is fantastic there, right from shore and lots of fish. This is the area they take all the snorkelling trips so must be good right! Just a few minute drive from this place. Izaira lets us check out a little later since we had a later flight which was very helpful as well, gave us an extra morning at the beach and still time to clean up before heading out. Always accommodating, thanks Izaira! We know where to go when in Aruba....right here!!

Great Studio Apartment

This apartment is excellent. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. It is very close to the best beaches in Aruba. I would highly recommend this to any couples who want a very clean place to stay. The yard is very nice to sun in and just relax. The owner and manager are very nice to work with!

January in paradise

We were very pleased with our studio. It had everything you could possibly want. Fully equipped kitchen with air and a washing machine. The yard outside was huge with a BBQ, outdoor shower, lots of extra seating and a clothes line. Definitely a property to come back to. We were very close to Arashi Beach and it became our go to beach most days. The owner supplied beach chairs and cooler so were able to take our lunch to the beach. Lots of snorkelling and beaches on the island. The beaches are pristine and the local people are so friendly and helpful. The one must do excursion is De Palm Tours Off Road Safaris - Natural Pool Adventure. You really need an excursion to see the other side of the island. It's so rugged and beautiful and we had a total blast. The island features loads of fantastic restaurants. Aruba is definitely a beautiful island and well worth returning to.

A well situated suite in a peaceful part of paradise.

My newly wed wife and I had an amazing stay in this suite situated in paradise. The management was welcoming, helpful, and readily available. Izaira was great to orientate us to the island and save a lot in booking rentals and excursions. I would highly recommend the property as it had the essentials+ and was cozy like home since day one of our stay. Overall a great experience and a well managed, clean and a perfect location to stay in Aruba.

Wonderful 2 weeks in Aruba

Just got back from 2 fabulous weeks. When we arrived Izaira was there waiting for us. She show us the apart and told us was we could see in Aruba. Everything you could have in your house is there. We enjoyed eating outside in the morning. A big plus is 2 beach chairs, cooler and beach towel. Everything is less then 15 minutes by car. Nice beaches and you can snorkling almost everywhere. A lot of good restaurant outside the hotel zone. Local are very friendly, We had beers with a few of them. We enjoyed our 2 weeks and we will be back. Thank you for everything Greg and Izaira.

Quiet and breezy

Our stay in the Noord area was great. The house is just a few minutes from beach but off the main roads so its quiet. Also has several small mini Marts not far away. We enjoyed the house mostly due it's location. Most everything we wanted to do was less than 15 minutes away. The house was small but offered everything we needed. And to be honest we didn't choose to go to Aruba to sit in a house, we went to see the country. Having beach towels and chairs on site is one of the things you don't realize you need till you arrive. And were very nice to have. We went all over the island (literally the whole island) and the Noord/malmok area was our favorite place. The beaches are beautiful and not nearly as crowded as the hotel beaches. Lots great snorkeling spots just minutes away. We definitely enjoyed our stay on the island and this little house aided our vacation.

Fabulous week at Esmeralda!!!

We just got back from a fabulous week in Aruba. The accommodations at Esmeralda were the added bonus! The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need or want to have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The communications with the owner and the property manager were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast outdoors each morning, or relaxing on the lounge chairs in the beautiful, private enclosed yard. The house is in a quiet upscale neighborhood, near a beautiful beach and only minutes from a major grocery store and other shops. We loved renting this house and have already made another reservation to stay here again. A special Thank You to Gregory and Izaira for making our stay extra amazing.

Magnifique Vacance

Nous avons passé d’excellente vacance au Studio Esméralda nous avons séjourner 3 semaines. L’appartement est tel que sur les photos. Les plus Très propre et bien équiper. La coutellerie et les casseroles sont d’excellente qualité. Adorer la machine à café (expresso et régulier) Grille-pain grilloir (grilloir trop petit presque inutile). Cuisinière a gaz très fonctionnel. Le studio est effectivement petit et conçu pour deux adultes et un enfant. Nous avons très apprécié les chaises de plage (Tommy Bahamas) glacière de plage. La grande pièce de rangement bien utile et beaucoup de serviette et coffre-fort. Grande chambre de bain complète et eau chaude a la douche. Grand téléviseur avec chaine américaine et aussi apprécier le câble HDMI déjà installer (pour brancher divers appareils). Air climatisé efficace et silencieuse. Plusieurs items laissé d’ancien client sur place (épices, charbon, papier aluminium et plastique, allume feu) Tous les produits de nettoyage sur place aussi. A l’extérieur une grande cour très privée et fleuris avec chaise longue de très bonne qualité avec toile pour ombre. Porche d’une bonne dimension. Corde à linge très pratique. Douche extérieure. Quartier sécuritaire. Les petits moins (non dramatique mais héritant). Internet signaux faible même a l’intérieur et très problématique à l’extérieur (sous le porche parfois on capte une douzaine de voisin sauf celui du studio). Grande intimité dans la cour mais pas sous le porche qui donne directement sur 2 fenêtres de l’unité attenante. Lit très confortable mais un très grand lit serait idéal. Coin repas intérieur restreint. Dans l’ensemble qualité prix excellent. Gregory un 5 étoiles pour sa rapidité de réponse et d’action tout au long de notre séjour et très amical….Merci pour tout Gregory tu as fait en sorte que notre séjour fut agréable et fantastique. Nous recommandons cet appartement. J’y retournerais volontiers. Daniel & Diane

Nice property!

This apartment worked out great for the two of us. The yard with patio and shower was charming and we appreciated the well-stocked kitchen so we could cook easily. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner kept us cool, and plenty of towels were provided as well as restaurant guide books. Having two reclining beach chairs and coolers to use was the best thing ever! We stayed two weeks and hit every beach. This was a dreamy vacation of near perfection that we will remember forever.

Great Property, nice owners, great location in safe area near all the beaches and restaurants.

We loved our stay in January 2018, the people who own and manage the property are always available if needed, the owner provided all pertinent information we needed to know. The place is very clean and nice bathroom, lots of privacy. Kitchen is very well stock up with all the nessesary cookware, dishwater and everything you need to be very comfortable. Coolers and beach chairs are provided. We had a great time in Aruba and definately planning to come back to this property. Do not miss a great stay.

Comfortable and private

We had an amazing time at this lovely apartment. If only we could have stayed longer! The apartment was just about as perfect as it looked in the pictures. Loved the location, far away from the "big" city. Proximity to Boca Catalina with amazing snorkeling and Arashi beaches was ideal. It's very quiet in this location, which is a real plus. If you want to drive to the busy tourist strip, it's not that far away. The property was clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed - nice shower, air conditioning (very quiet), clean bed, Internet, fully equipped kitchen. Loved the private backyard and the outdoor shower was a big plus. The communication with the owner, Gregory, was great before and during our stay. Both he and the property manager Izaira were just a phone call away and gave us a lot of tips and useful information. Thank you, Gregory and Izaira for your great hospitality and attention! You both are amazing! We would love to come back again!
