About Rob Smith
We bought this unit in 2008 with plans to use as a retirement home. We completely renovated and replaced everything. The kitchen was totally redone in 2011 with all new appliances. All new lights, fans for saltwater series, paint and even door hardware. The unit also has mosquito nets on the beds if needed and mosquito curtains around the decks if needed. Every window and door has see-though black netting or screens.

Why Rob Smith chose Bonaire
We love Bonaire so much and spend so much time there that we moved up the hill to a bigger place. So, PLR #7 was our home and very well outfitted. Most rental units in Bonaire are used part time by owners and do not have the amenities of PLR #7. Most rental units in Bonaire have a storage room that is used by the owners to store personal belongings. With this unit the storage room will be yours to use for personal dive equipment. It is also available year round for renters, not part time.
What makes this condo unique
Oceanfront with great house reef for diving, 2 minutes to Dive Friends.

Location, Amenities and Covenience
Playa Lechi 7 has everything that divers could want during a stay on Bonaire. A full size kitchen with everything necessary to cook three meals a day or just make breakfast before going out for morning dives. The two bedrooms are air conditioned and provided for a good rest after a day of diving and moving equipment. Having a washing machine allows visitors to pack less and wash clothes if necessary. We also made use of the secure gear locker to store our gear in the evening. The location is central to diving and located 2 minutes from downtown by vehicle. The only trade off with location is noise from passing mopeds and car stereos on the street in front of the condo. We spent most of our time diving and exploring; when in the condo, it was usually sleeping. The noise from the street is not a factor when it comes to sleep, combining multiple dives in one day, good food, cocktails and the air conditioning, sleep was of no concern. We utilized the grocery service that was provided by the property management company, it was nice to begin vacation with necessities on hand instead of running to the store. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend Playa Lechi 7.
Enjoyed our stay here -- good for divers
We spent a week here and enjoyed it. The place is well appointed and maintained. Mosquito nets on the beds in addition to screens and a mosquito curtain for the large lanai. The dive locker in the parking lot is a very nice touch and allowed us the freedom to do night dives without having to worry about what to do with our gear. Two minute walk to the dive shop at Yellow Submarine. Walking distance to the restaurants downtown.
Would stay, no WILL STAY again!
Nice central location. Very comfortable. Only complaint... used dunk tank on last day to prep for departure. Pre cleaned gear at dive shop. Filled bucket (cameras) and cement tank near locker 50% full (adding sink the stink) ONCE. HAD NO WATER RUNNING but got a stern LECTURE from a resident to not use the tank as it is too expensive for the residents. Four of us using one half tub of water in 8 days...she was rude! Reflects on her and the residents. In 17 years of coming to the island and understanding well the Infastructure, her comments and dressing down were unnessecary. RON, KITTIE..you might want to chat with apt owner to tone it down. Yes there ere many keys as others have mentioned but it is very navigable, just get a rhythm to it. owners have wired unit for both EU and USA voltages. And THERE IS A BLENDER. Will be back to rent again, thanks.
Perfect stay
This condo is clean and nicely decorated with a modern yet comfortable beachy feel. it contained everything we needed to accommodate our dive vacation. There were pitchers to hold juice, a cooler to take with us daily, mosquito nets on the beds and strong AC in the bedrooms. The view is gorgeous from the large patio where we enjoyed breakfast every morning and a cocktail in the evening. There is a mosquito curtain as well but we did not use it. I was sure to apply bug spray many times though out the day to keep them away. There is a small road out front which is quiet and you can walk along the water straight to town on it. The walk is lovely at night and not long. We walked to dinner almost every evening. The pool was very refreshing as well. One of the wonderful amenities is the dive locker right off the parking lot. There is a rinse tank there and a place to hang all equipment. There is a locked gate to the unit you may leave open during the day so that the breeze can dry everything. At night, you lock the door as well since petty crime is an issue on the island. You just need to be aware and lock up your belongings. Except in your rental car. Leave the doors unlocked, windows down and don't leave anything in the car of value. Ours was gone through at the dive sites. But there was nothing for them to take.
This was our first time to Bonaire and we loved it. Great food, great diving and friendly people. I had some of my best ever vacation meals on this island. The shore diving is great and easy. We will be back.
Great location and property.
This was my first trip to Bonaire and I was lucky enought to find the perfect rental. The location is close to dive shops and excellent restaurants are in walking distance. The property was very secure with a gated parking lot and gate to enter the stairwells. We enjoyed coffee on the large breezy patio every morning and watched parrots fly by. The property was well equipped with everything we needed including a washer. I would definitely rent here again.
perfect spot
We really liked this unit what made me decide on this one was the dive locker, it was a great convenience to have, not having to take your gear upstairs. The unit itself was great everything you needed was there, comfortable beds, good shower excellent drinking water. We lived on the balcony when we were at the unit. The mosquito net came in handy as the mosquitoes were out early morning and at night you still have good vision thru the net. We had a wonderful night dive right in front of the unit, pleasantly surprised. The swimming pool was also great (no chlorine) and no one else used the pool all week it was like having our own private pool. The one lane street in front of the unit was very quiet never an issue. Kittie at Sunbelt was very helpful from booking to airport meet to check out. if I have one small complaint is that there is to many different keys to access everything even need a key to lock the patio door from the inside and every member of the group need keys at all time to move around even to go to the pool. no worry not a deal breaker but it could be simplified. Thanks for the use of your place
