The host was great. The air-conditioner in the main area wasn't working and had an error code when we arrived. When I contacted her, it was promptly addressed and fixed. Awsome view from the veranda and great breeze to eat and drink. We loved the gate access to the beach next door, where the snorkeling was some of the best on the island and so convenient for night snorkeling.
Melinda's condo was perfect! Updated kitchen was fully equipped. The cross breeze was amazing and the bedroom a/c worked well for sleeping. The complex is lovely and very close to beaches and great snorkeling. Grocery store and restaurants were only a few minutes away by car. Host provided wonderful tips on where to snorkel. We will be back!
Clean, well stocked kitchen, private. Good location if you like to cook your own meals, which we do. Groceries are a short drive away. Dive Friends right next door is very handy. There is, however, no place to hang your scuba gear.
This was our 2nd timing staying at Melinda's condo. It was a great vacation, and we plan on returning and renting again from Melinda.
Melinda is wonderful host; she is always available if or when a question comes up.
The condo is always exceptionally clean and maintained!
Thank you again, Melinda, for being an exceptional property owner and host!
This first floor apartment in Port Bonaire is in a perfect location and well maintained. Everything was as described in the ad and more. The second bedroom has 2 new beds and the master bedroom had its own balcony overlooking the ocean. The owner was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. Plenty of towels and beach towels were available.
The location, with direct access via a comfortable stepladder. From there it was a short swim to the Te Amo beach, which has wonderful coral close to the shore. There is a more solid reef further out but you need to be a diver to see it properly.
We really enjoyed this apartment and hope to go back!
Said she would work with me an and over charged me by six hundred. Don't trust what the the owner says..

This renter reserved for two weeks and then cut his visit short after five days and expecting a full refund
He was quite erratic in his behavior, and many of the people at our condo complex, noticed it and commented on it
Melinda is absolutely fantastic host to deal with from the moment we booked the condo. The condo is spacious and quiet. The balcony have an absolute view of the ocean . We enjoy watching the small boat passing by the channel, as well as watching the big cruise ship sails out at night. The kitchen is well equipped and functional for our use. We have a little problem with the air condition and Melinda addressed and call a technician to fixed it way the way. There is ladder that you can go to the ocean and we swam over to the beach everyday. On the way there are lots of sea life and schools of fishes. We even saw a small school of squids. The only comment I will say is we do not know how to set up the TV. It would be nice if we have a couple of channels to watch. The condo is next to the airport,but you hardly hear the planes due to so few flights comes to the island.It. It makes it most convenient to access the condo. I would command to stay in Melinda condo.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more beautiful view than sitting out on the deck of this second floor paradise! Melinda’s condo..which is in a gated community.. is a fabulous place to spend the time relaxing, reading, or just gazing. The condo has a brand new updated kitchen, great A/C and top notch accessibility to snorkeling right off the property. There is a lovely quiet pool area for the condo property guests. The entire property is exceptionally clean and well maintained. The condo is right next door to a dive shop/school, a 5 minute drive to supermarkets, liquor stores and very close to many restaurants. The property is directly across from the airport (though there are so few flights, you don’t really notice the airport). The area is a great place to explore..both in water and on land. Melinda is extremely responsive before and during your stay, as is her maintenance staff. The hardest part about staying here is leaving!
Our initial extra charge by owner was for $497:
$275 for “extra cleaning”, “proved” by three pictures of few crumbs in the kitchen and a couple of spots in a shower because of a slow drainage (there is nothing in a check-out list about exit cleaning);
$222 for a property damage. This charge disappeared after we requested an itemized bill, but the owner blamed us for an extortion when we promised to post an honest detailed review instead of our initial polite thanks that we said before the charge.

This renter left our home a total mess and several things were broken so we had to keep some of the security deposit.

Worst vacation rental experience ever!
Kitchen sink leaked (and the owner was aware); several appliances did not work properly (including cable TV) or at all. Refrigerator had open containers of leftover food from prior guests. Not very clean. Owner took over a week to return my damage deposit, and I had to ask for it twice. Will never use VRBO again!

This is the first negative response we've ever received. It does take a week or 10 days to return deposit sometimes as we need to review the condo for damage. The TV works fine as owner had just been there using it so it must be operator error. We had to send this renter directions many times and not sure if the condo directions were ever read completely.
The kitchen sink had a very small leak but it was fixed and did not happen
again
Our ppty mgr visited the renter and tried to handle concerns quickly as we always do
We had a great time at Melinda’s condo. Easy access to incredible snorkeling and views from the balcony were just two of the highlights of a wonderful vacation. Walkable from the airport as well as food trucks short walk away. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and very clean - we’ll be back!
Belated review - sorry! We stayed at Melinda's condo in October 2021 and it was perfect! Clean and comfortable and the full-time residents were charming and so nice! We loved the location, the wonderful community pool for evening dips and condo close to many great snorkeling and dive locations, airport, and town. We plan to return this year and hope to stay here again. Thank you Melinda!
This was a great choice for a vacation rental. The suite was spacious and included everything we needed, aside from a washer and dryer. We were told that all of the suites in the building we’re without laundry facilities and it wasn’t a big deal. We hand washed our clothes and dried them on the patio. The location was great, right across the airport and a quick drive to town. There were diving resorts and shops close by and one right next door. Swimming pool was great and the beach was within walking distance. Overall convenient for us. Favourite part of the home away from home was sitting on the patio every morning having breakfast while over looking the beautiful bay. The owner was also great and responded quickly to any questions. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.
What an amazing stay in Melinda's condo. Everything you need for a perfect vacation is within a short car ride or just use the ladder and go for a snorkel or dive with two reefs a short swim away . Melinda was always available and very helpful. This beautiful unit is not only a spacious 2 bedroom but has an awesome view. Be sure to catch the sunset while enjoying a drink with your spouse.
Port Bonaire was ideal for us. We were well pleased with the location 2nd floor condo. We enjoyed the boats coming and going out front in the channel and the snorkeling around the point of the harbor was good.
We have stayed at Port Bonaire before, but like this unit the best. Love having the bedroom doors open to the ocean at night.
Great location right next to dive shop and dive sites. Very safe and secure.
Melinda’s condo was perfect for 2 divers from KS! Access across the street from the airport is great, Dive Friends right next door is great. When we had a problem w/ cable (yard trimmer accidentally cut cable) Marco made a special trip to get things to repair it,

Beautiful views and excellent location
The owner has good taste in quality furnishings and original artwork. She thoutfully provides a complete information packet. The condo is near the Plaza resort which has a fully loaded buffet at 12:30 and great snorkeling at twenty-nine palms. Park in the public lot down street around corner. or go south to Windsock. Delicious food truck serves Windsock Beach which has nice snorkeling south of the pier.

Another good year
Updates to the unit were made since our last visit (this is our 3rd to this unit) like new ac unit(s?). Kitchen is well stocked with the pots, pans, storage containers etc. check cabinets before you go to supermarket.
We enjoyed the roominess of the place and ac in the living/ kitchen in addition to the bedroom. We cooked most nights and used the oven for the first time (oven cooks fast!- be sure to follow instructions). Dishwasher makes cooking at home during vacation more enjoyable. Kite city food truck at the beach next door is a good alternate to going out into town or cooking.
Port Bonaire complex is a small number of units quiet and friendly with some not being rentals.
Be sure to ask to get the port Bonaire discount at dive friends for scuba divers. One location is next door! (Boat leaves from this location or get your tanks)
We plan on coming back next year
