About this property

Cunucu di Nana - Cottage in the countryside

A charming Aruban cottage in the heart of Aruba, is your tropical escape. With 2 cozy bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms, it mixes authentic island charm with all the creature comforts you'd expect. Dive into your private pool or unwind in the bubbly jacuzzi! Enjoy must-have conveniences like air conditioning, gigabit highspeed Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen with stove, fridge & Freezer, dishwasher. It’s the ultimate fusion of old-school Aruba meets today's comforts.

The house was originally constructed around 2015 by my Grandma (Nana) but has recently undergone an extensive renovation (November 2024 - March 2025), completely modernizing everything from the entrance to the backyard. As a result, the entire property feels brand new.

The home itself covers approximately 130 square meters (1,291.67 square feet), with an additional "backyard" of roughly 120 square meters. Although referred to as the "backyard," this term is symbolic because the house is situated on an expansive 18,000m2 plot abundant with native cactuses and lush vegetation, making the entire plot effectively your backyard.

The house is fully air-conditioned and features a 65-inch TV in the living room, equipped with a Dolby Atmos surround system and Amazon's Fire Cube for seamless and hassle-free entertainment. Each bedroom includes a 50-inch TV. YouTube Premium is available; however, other subscription services (e.g., Netflix, Hulu) are not provided.

Positioned primarily in solitude within this acre of traditional Aruban countryside (Cunucu), the house offers remarkable privacy. There is only one neighboring property—a detached home to the left—ensuring a tranquil environment where it's just you and the serene surroundings of the cunucu.

The entire property is at your disposal.

The property is meticulously maintained nearly every day:
1) Nana stops by every two or three days to water the outdoor plants (either in the morning or afternoon - depends on her schedule).
2) The pool is professionally serviced twice weekly (Wednesday and Saturdays in the afternoon)
3) Pest controls are made every month.

SECURITY CAMERAS:
1) This home has exterior security cameras located at the gates, the front door, front yard and backyard facing the pool. They record and send notifications 24/7. We have access to cameras at all times, but they are not actively monitored. All recordings are automatically overwritten after 3 weeks.
2) Tampering, disabling, or otherwise blocking the view of any security camera is strictly prohibited and may result in a fine of USD 250 per infringement.
CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT TIMES:
Check-in is at 3PM, check-out is at 11AM. Late check-out or early arrival is available for an additional fee and subject to availability.

OCCUPANCY:
Please respect the maximum number of guests allowed. No unregistered visitors or overnight guests without prior approval. Exceeding occupancy limits may result in a $100 fee per extra person.

NO SMOKING:
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. Any smoking-related damage or cleaning costs will be charged to guests.

PETS:
Pets are only allowed if agreed upon before booking, with applicable fees and deposits. Unauthorised pets may incur a $100 daily fine.

NO PARTIES OR EVENTS:
Gatherings beyond registered guests, loud parties, or events require prior approval and a signed agreement. Unauthorised events may lead to immediate eviction without refund and additional penalties.

POOL AND JACUZZI SAFETY:
1) Use at your own risk. No diving, no glass containers, no swimming while intoxicated, and children must never be left unattended. Aruba Family Villas is not responsible for accidents.
2) For everyone's safety, please refrain from bringing drinking glasses outside - especially in the pool. Broken glass is extremely hazardous and can result in serious injury and require extensive emergency pool cleaning and a fine of up to USD 1,500.
3) The pump room is only accessible by staff (please do not enter the pump room without permission).

SECURITY CAMERAS:
1) This home has exterior security cameras located at the gates, the front door, front yard and backyard facing the pool. They record and send notifications 24/7. We have access to cameras at all times, but they are not actively monitored. All recordings are automatically overwritten after 3 weeks.
2) Tampering, disabling, or otherwise blocking the view of any security camera is strictly prohibited and may result in a fine of USD 250 per infringement.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:
1) My grandma (the gardner) ("Nana") visits every 2 to 3 days to water the outdoor plants either early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday sun. She does not have set times and does not provide much notice (she is 85 years old), but she’s harmless and loves taking care of the garden.
2) Pool maintenance occurs twice weekly, typically Wednesdays and Saturdays between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Please note service times and days may change without notice based on their schedule.
3) Pest control comes by once a month to refill the mosquito reppelant buckets and inspect the exterior of the house.
4) These maintenance visits are essential to keep the house and pool in excellent condition. Please do not obstruct their work.

FRONT GATE:
Please keep the front gate closed at night to avoid neighborhood dogs from entering the property. They’re cute and harmless, but they like to tip over trashcans for leftover food.

AIR CONDITIONING:
1) Please turn off AC units when not in use or if doors remain open.
2) Please keep the AC thermostat at 20°C (68°F) or higher to avoid damage.
3) 24°C is the sweet spot.

WATER HEATER:
1) Do not turn on both water heater in the showers on simultaniously. Together they may overload the electrical supply and cause an outage.
2) Please do not tamper with the water heater machines themselves (located on the outside of the shower).

NOISE AND QUIET HOURS:
Keep noise to a minimum and be mindful of neighbours. Outdoor music should stay below 60 dBA and end by 10 PM.
