Incredible location and villa!! What a gem!
This was a week of the best vacation that our family has ever had! The pictures do not do justice. To live on the waterfront with our own private beach was a dream come true. Even before we decided to stay at this villa, Alexis and Dustin were extremely helpful and attentive. They stayed in continued contact with us, answering the many questions we all had and assisting in arranging our perfect family reunion. We can not thank them enough. Their personalized service was exceptional. We were greeted by Dustin at the airport who had our rental cars waiting for us. No hassle of long lines or filling out paperwork. Upon arrival to the villa, there were cold beverages and fruits plus the additional groceries that we had requested. The villa was clean and beautiful! And the view, far surpassed our expectations. It is as described on the website, if not better.
Initially, safety was a concern, however with all the alarms, motion sensors, automated lights and outdoor security cameras, there was no reason to be worried.
The location of the villa is great. Conveniently close to town and the supermarkets. Most places were only 10-15 minutes drive away. We were able to enjoy the many dive sites on the south side. It was quiet the experience for the kids to fish and snorkel from the villa as well.
During our stay, they arranged for us to have a private chef that provide us with a customized menu along with a separate children's coursed menu. The kids loved dining like us "adults". Another evening Alexis arranged a sunset beach BBQ with the same chef who provided fresh local fish that we were excited to try. And did I mention the spa day my mother and I had? We enjoyed massages and pedicures from the comfort of the villa.
To say this was a VIP vacation is an understatement. It was the personalized service from Bonaire Beach Villa that truly made our vacation memorable. Dustin and Alexis went above and beyond. We will definably be back in upcoming years!
Wonderful location and views and Alexis ensures your stay is perfect
The house is exactly as described and makes for a very relaxing holiday in a wonderful location with stunning views.
The owner, Alexis, ensured our stay was perfect, she went out of her way to make sure everything was in order. We had very minor issues and Alexis went beyond what I expected to sort them out, really professional and exactly what you want on holiday, thanks Alexis.
Best Vacation Ever!
We were amazed by the level of service. From the airport greeting to the champagne welcome to the rental car waiting for us in our driveway. And the villa itself is breathtaking and in our opinion in the perfect location. Minutes from the airport, all the watersports, and the center of town and at the same time on a private and secluded beach. We will surely be visiting again.
Perfect Honeymoon
My new husband and I recently stayed at this villa for our honeymoon. We wanted a beautiful location to relax for a week and this place certainly delivered. It truly is as beautiful as pictured and the views are incredible. We were able to get some very good snorkeling in right from the villa's beach.
The location is great - it is close to town but you still feel secluded. It is also not far from an excellent grocery store - Van Den Tweel. For those who plan on cooking for themselves, the kitchen is fully stocked. There was not a pan or knife I couldn't find. I did not find a wine opener, but no worries for future renters - we bought one and left it :) If you, like me, have rented houses previously and been wary of the usual scratched pots and pans and dull knives, don't fear. Not so at this villa - everything was in excellent condition. It was very easy to cook everything we wanted.
The AC works very well, especially in the first floor master. Also, the host Alexis is wonderful - very responsive if you need anything and she checked in with us frequently to make sure all was well.
There are a few negatives...the main one being the birds. They are constantly in the pool. Drinking water, bathing themselves, POOPING. Maybe this would not bother some people, but to me it was very annoying. I think the owners need to figure out a way to keep them out. The only other one is the mattress in the first floor master could be more comfortable. This is nit-picky but at this price point, I would expect a very comfortable mattress. A couple of suggestions for the owners to really elevate the experience of staying there - a covering for the mattresses under the palapa; washable terrycloth coverings for the lounge chairs; more beach towels.
A few tips if you decide to stay here:
-Get a good bug spray (read WITH DEET) because the mosquitoes are out at dawn and dusk in force.
-There are a lot of black sea urchins on the rocks right outside the villa but if you walk down the shore a little there are easier entrances into the ocean
Book this place now you will not regret it!
For the record, we stayed in October 2012 but I'm just getting around to writing my review. My family often talks of this place as one of the best we've ever visited. It's a beautiful and clean property, with comfortable beds and living areas, views to die for, and some of the best snorkeling we've ever done right in front of the house (and we've snorkeled dozens of locations around the world). Kitchen is well-stocked, bathrooms are roomy. Hot tub is a tad close to the back door but you get used to it – a minor inconvenience. Lovely greeting by property manager at airport and they were attentive to our random calls throughout our stay. This is a slice of paradise so what are you waiting for? Book now!
Beautiful property
Very much enjoyed our stay. Spacious home right on the water. Two bedrooms upstairs: one with 2 twin beds, and one with queen and terrace both with en suite bathrooms, and master on ground floor. We did not use bonus room, but brought the futon from there into master for our young child. Perfect location with short drive to Jibe City/Sorobon and the airport, or simply staying at house enjoying the pool and hot tub. Alexis, the manager/owner, was great and responded quickly to any issues we had. We felt comfortable and at home. Hope to come back soon!
Map
Your dream vacation home is located near many beautiful dive sites and some of Bonaire's must see locations. 'The Lake' dive site is directly behind the house and easily accessible from your private beach. Just walk on in! You can enjoy a night of snorkeling or diving a few days after the full moon for Bonaire's Ostracod (bioluminescence) in your 'backyard'. And during migration season, regularly around 8am and 6pm you will see families of dolphins swim by, putting on a wonderful show. Not only will you enjoy the immediate access to the sea, Bonaire's Salina (salt mountains) is right down the street. Caribbean Christmas card idea? Be sure to stop by and take a few photos of our island's winter wonderland.
If you continue south down the road, you will soon reach the white and red slave huts, another piece of Bonaire history minutes away. You will also come across Kite Beach (dive site 'Atlantis') where you can watch kiters from around the world surf or take a lesson on kite surfing from our very own beach boys. And if you're hungry, you'll have to try Cactus Blue's infamous 'Lion Fish Burger'.
Finally, if you continue onward, you will eventually reach the island's lighthouse and even further is Sorobon / Jibe City, where our 'Children of the Wind' grew up windsurfing.
All these fun and must see locations are merely minutes away from your vacation home! So be sure to stop by.
