Beautiful, luxurious villa; for peace-seekers, nature-lovers and sealions

We recently returned from a wonderful stay at the Port of Call! The home was spacious and easily accommodated our whole family. The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked beautifully and kept us cool during the night. The neighborhood is quiet yet close to town and there is a gate to close at the end of the driveway for added security. Each bedroom has their own doors that open up to the covered porch which is where we spent most of our time and enjoyed the beautiful view. Easy access to the water for snorkeling or diving as you are right on the water. We saw many beautiful fish throughout our stay. There is an outside shower to rinse off your equipment and also an area on the side of the house to rinse. The home is one level, but you are able to go up to the flat roof and enjoy the view as well. Washing machine is located right off the kitchen and line for hanging items is outside with privacy. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and items needed for cooking. The refrigerator is on the smaller side & the stove and dishwasher looked brand new. The separate apartment was also very nice and had a kitchenette with a microwave and a small fridge. We only used that fridge for extra space as our meals were all prepared together in the main house. There is a TV but we never turned it on. Wifi worked well. Each bedroom has their own bathroom and they were very clean. Lots of closet space in each room. The mosquitos/tiny no-seeums were very bothersome so don't forget the bug spray. John was a wonderful host! He was very accommodating and responded quickly to our requests. Lots of information is provided for things to do while visiting. Thank you John for being so patient when picking us up at the airport and the mix up with our rental car which took forever to sort out. John also was a huge day saver when after dropping us off at the airport discovered I had dropped my cell phone in his car. He prompting made the trip back to the airport just as I was frantically searching for it. I can't thank him enough! We would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Bonaire.

We rented this wonderful villa with two other couples & it was perfect for us. The property manager, John, was great. He met us at the airport & we followed him to the house. He took time to show us around the property, answered any questions we had about local shopping as well as sharing his favorite dive sites. The villa was very clean & nicely furnished. We spent all our time, when not diving/snorkeling, on the airy covered patio. We never even sat in the living room furniture! The kitchen had everything we needed: very cold refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, toaster, blender & dishwasher. There were plenty of dishes, glassware, pots/pans, kitchen towels, etc., a BBQ grill, and washing machine. The dining table, which seats 6, can be moved out to the patio. All bedrooms have AC & the bed we slept on was very comfortable. There are towels in the bathrooms & two beach towels in each bedroom. There are 6 lounge chairs & 6 other chairs on the patio. A convenient outdoor shower is located just off the patio. The view from the roof is perfect for watching the sunrise/sunset. The resident iguana, that we named Porter, visited several times throughout the week. A new dive gear rinse tank has been installed beside the house & a dry locker for hanging your gear is nearly finished. If you lay any suits on the patio wall make sure you shake them good before you put them on. We had a scorpion show up twice! Check your boots, too! The house is very convenient for diving the Something Special site & is not too far, just under a mile, from the downtown shopping area. There is a small hotel safe in the first bedroom. The house is very private at the end of the road with a gate across the driveway. There is plenty of room to park 3 rental vehicles. On our last day John came by to collect the keys & find out how our week was. We had him take pictures of us on the patio & with the Port of Call sign in the front yard. All of us really enjoyed our week in paradise and will definitely stay here again. The WiFi is faster than what I have at home! I think we found the perfect place to stay on Bonaire!

The place was as described and fully met our expectations. John the host was very helpful, and the location is great to access most anything you want. The snorkeling right off the beach there was very good. We had someone who was not as comfortable with the water with us, and this was her favorite spot for sure, and she saw lots of fish. Nice place to take a night swim too.

Don’t want to give it too good of review because i want to rent it again next year.People might want to rent it if i give it a good review.I have been going to Bonaire 20 years not staying at the same place twice,but i will be at this place.Best place yet and John was great.We need to hang out next year .

We had a chance to stay at Port of Call in Bonaire over Christmas and New Years this year and it was fantastic. The three bedroom home was perfect for our family of 4 and my sister and her boyfriend. The third bedroom is a separate unit that connects to the patio and it was perfect for privacy for the second couple. Internet worked great and he has a TV there for watching movies. There is no regular tv reception on it but it was great with our Netflix account. The reef right off the shoreline is awesome and great for the second dive each day as it's so simple and low effort to leave from your porch! It's also great for snorkeling right close to shore where there are lots of fish hanging out in the coral. There is a shower/wash station right on the beach for cleaning up scuba gear after each dive and showering the salt water off. John was very responsive to our questions and did whatever possible to make our stay enjoyable and stress-free. We felt totally safe and could lock the gate at night for added security. Easy walk to town, which we did every day, several times purchasing fish from the fishermen in the harbor along the way. We cooked our meals every day and usually used the charcoal grill for the meat. Gnats and mosquitos were a bother toward the end of our stay, so be sure to use bug spray and keep the bedroom doors shut tight. The air conditioning kept us cool when sleeping and the beds were comfortable. We would definitely book Port of Call again!
