About this property

The Mosaic house is a unique house, located exactly in the middle of the island in the town of Santa Cruz, about 10 to 15 minutes drive from the beaches and nothing is far away. We are situated in a local, quiet area on a dirt road, close to the National park Arikok. It's a great area for hiking, biking, horse back riding and exploring the beautiful nature of Aruba. The apartment is part of the house, however it is totally private with a private entrance. We highly recommend to rent a car !

Wonderful relaxing stay

Thank you so much for being such a lovely host. Jet and Hans provided us with everything we would need and more. We loved getting to know them on our short trip to Aruba. We felt welcomed and loved all the little inside tips they gave us to explore this beautiful island. We fell in love with the mosaic house and enjoyed every minute we stayed at Jet and Hans place. Thank you for being the best host, welcoming, generous, and kind. They went above and beyond to make this trip for us so special.

Wonderful

We loved our stay at the Mosaic House apartment in Aruba. We stayed for two weeks and the apartment was perfectly comfortable for that time. The kitchen is fully stocked and the apartment had plenty of seating inside and outside. It is one of the best stocked and comfortable of all the rentals we have stayed at. The house is perfectly located in the center of Aruba which makes it a great location for exploring the island. Hans and Jet are the ultimate hosts. They are the most welcoming and generous hosts that we have ever experienced. They share their beautifully landscaped backyard, their time, sometimes their beer, and their cats. Many thanks Hans and Jet for such a wonderful stay.

Great Choice!

We are glad that we chose Mosaic House for our stay in Aruba. Hans and Henriette were gracious host and made us feel right at home! All of their tourism recommendations were on point! We had a wonderful time exploring the island. Henrietta was always available and amazingly prompt in answering questions. Both Hans and Henriette went out of their way to be helpful! Their backyard was truly an oasis which we enjoyed on many occasions. and the cats provided bonus entertainment! If we return to Aruba, we would definitely stay here again!

Best hosts on the island

This is a great location for anyone looking to experience more than just the typical run-of-the-mill tourist spots. From here in Santa Cruz you can certainly drive to Palm Beach to experience all the tourist action there, but you are centrally located in the middle of the island to do and see so much more, like other local beaches and the great National Park. There is a grocery store nearby (you‘ll be the only tourist) and a fantastic bakery just a little farther down the road. Combine that with greats hosts who make you really feel like guests and you have a great place to stay. My wife and I loved it.

Perfect for Quiet Adventure Travelers

When I found this listing I was shocked it wasn’t booked. It was perfect because we knew we wanted to hike and explore Aruba. The location is a few minutes from a wonderful local bakery. So we would wake up grab breakfast from the bakery and eat breakfast on a hike or after a swim. But, the hosts are the best part! They both have a love of plants and created the most relaxing backyard oasis for you to enjoy. They gave us tips on where to eat, where to get the best prices on so many things, and told us where to go to experience Aruba like a local. We spent several evenings chatting with them on the large back porch. But, the front porch is very private if that is your thing. We would love to stay here again. My husband and I were trying to figure why time seemed to slow down this trip and part of it was how relaxing this place makes you feel! Thanks Hans and Jets!

About the host

Hosted by Hans and Henriette Peters / Warmoltz

We are a Dutch couple, Hans and Jet (Henriette) and we live on the island since 2014. In 2018 we bought the Mosaic House and decided to rent out the apartment, as we love to meet people from all over the world. We have been hosting guests since we arrived on the island and we love it. We speak Dutch, English and German.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is very quiet and at the back we look into the cunucu, the wilderness, nature of Aruba with all the cactus. We prefer quietness , hearing the birds sing, nature and the local vibe, the more real Aruba, above the more busy tourist area and we love to share this experience with guest from all over the world.

What makes this property unique

The house is unique, the walls outside and floors in and outside are all mosaic tiles. We bought the house from Waldy Simson, a Suriname artist, who did all the mosaic himself. We also love the stained glass windows in the front and when we saw it we fell in love with it immediately.
