Smuk Ocean View Villa

We spent Thanksgiving week at this property. We couldn't have been more pleased! The home was beautiful! There were 8 adults and plenty of room for everyone! The rooms were very comfortable and each couple hand their own bathroom. The kitchen was well appointed - everything we needed was available. The grounds and the pool were amazing! No need to leave this paradise! But! It's also perfectly located - hotels, restaurants and popular beaches to the left and less populated beaches and lighthouse to the right. If you don't want to drive anywhere - walk right across the street to snorkel! We are already planning our next trip to the same spot!

The rental process was very good. Anneke was responsive to all my questions and provided all the necessary information. The house & property were gorgeous however there was evidence of termites in the kitchen ceiling which was quite unpleasant considering the amount we paid. There were 10 adults in our group. When we arrived at the house, we were unable to enter due to the owner having been there which prevented the housekeeper from having access to prepare the house for our arrival. She was rushing around trying to get everything ready for us. I thought that was pretty inconsiderate of the owner. Marina who works with Anneke was available to answer all our questions. All in all we had a great time in Aruba!!

What an amazing stay we had at Aruba Villa 500! The layout was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone. Back yard was our own private Paradise! Love the surround sound music that could be played inside and out. Already tried booking again but it was full for when we wanted!!

First, we loved our stay and didn’t want to leave! Second, the house is in a great location and in December the sun sets right across from the house. Malmok beach is small and private and 4 houses down to the right. The snorkeling is great there and cruise ships bring their people there to snorkel but they’re only there 30 mins in the morning and again in the afternoon. It didn’t interfere at all. The house worked perfectly for us and minor issues were handled immediately. Note that the cabana has 1.5 baths. Elianna, the housekeeper, was super and kept us organized. The kitchen could use sharper knives and more serving dishes but it was otherwise adequately supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, cabana, and deck. It felt like a mini resort. We will definitely rent this house again!
