Vacation rentals near Governors Palace

We had an incredible stay at this Blue Bay Vrbo! The home is located in a safe, private community that felt like a true oasis—quiet, tranquil, and beautifully maintained. The beach is just a short walk and is one of the best on the island. The sunsets were absolutely stunning, and the snorkeling right off the shore was incredible with so much sea life to see.The house itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen was fully equipped and made it easy to cook and enjoy meals at home—especially on the gorgeous wrap-around deck. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for exploring the island. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone looking to experience Curaçao in comfort and style.

We had the most wonderful family time together in this fantastic Penthouse located on Blue Bay Resort, Curacao.So many fantastic family memories were created!We absolutely love the property and will return someday! It features the best view and proximity to the beach we could ever have wished for.Right on the beautiful beach and nearby restaurants...everything we needed, not to mention the excellent snorkeling.The property managers and owner were very helpful and most accommodating.One of our best vacations ever!

We are two couples travelling to Curaçao for the first time. We spent three nights in this apartment and it was perfection. Very comfortable beds, spacious rooms and very clean. It was wonderful to be able to walk from this location to many of the city’s sites and incredible restaurants. We highly recommend.

We were looking for a quiet vrbo with easy access to swimming and snorkeling. While it's across from the Sequarium, it is not very noisy when there are shows. Plus I love that in the early morning the visitors are young disabled children who interact with the dolphins and their trainers. But most of the time there are only a few others in the water the same time as you. You can easily swim to the beach and use a lounge chair if you want.The vrbo is 1.2 km to Mambo Beach Blvd so you can get a nice meal. "Bocas" was our favorite; we ate there twice. Plus you can walk to Olas y Copas for a nice meal.The apartment has everything you need. There is A/C in the bedroom but we didn't use it. We kept the doors open so there was a cross breeze and we could hear the waves breaking over the reef. Very relaxing!It's rare for my husband and myself to agree that we want to stay at a vrbo more than once, but I now know that anytime we want a water-based relaxing vacation, we will book this vrbo again.The only thing I would add is that it is located at the end of Bapor Kipra, but turn right at the end of the street and drive past Lion's Dive to Ocean Resorts. Signage is lacking and we had a difficult time finding it because our rental car didn't have navigation and my cell phone didn't work.This place is worth way more than 5 stars and Jo and Heike we very nice to work with.

The summary of the place was absolutely accurate. We walked in and it looked exactly like the pictures. We were so thrilled with the location. The inside is small but perfectly functional. HUGE canopy bed with a comfortable mattress, washroom with shower and a smaller kitchen w all the needed amenities. We cooked and lived outside though. The outdoor grill worked great. We got groceries near the airport on the way there and were impressed with the Centrum store. The beef and fish were less expensive then home! The best part of the place was the huge outdoor deck that overlooked the sea. Absolutely beautiful views. We saw some people complained about seeing cruise ships but they are only occasional and miles away! Kind of enjoyed watching them. We even saw a sea turtle one morning from the deck. The birds became our little friends. We are not sun worshippers and when it got hot, we would just move under the canopy or go down to the private pool/covered terrace. Spent two full days there! beautiful breeze off the ocean to cool down. When in the pool you felt like you were almost in the ocean it was so close. And we snorkelled every day right off the dock. I scuba dive and have dove in many places around the world - was totally impressed with the reef, drop off, abundance and variety of fish there. There is a private beach just next door which was pretty cool. Also a paid beach resort if you feel like that vibe also 2 minute drive. We will return!

We cannot say enough about how beautiful Villa Magic Time is. The pictures do not do it justice. In addition, Hans, the owner and Susanne, the property manager were incredibly helpful and always available if we had a question or an issue. We will be back!

This is a truly exceptional place, with breathtaking views and a Zen-like interior space that will make you want to never leave. Although there are incredible beaches near-by, which we explored and it is a quick drive to fantastic restaurants, we found ourselves rarely wanting to leave the gorgeous space. Angie and Don are wonderful hosts, so responsive and friendly. We can’t recommend this place more strongly!

Everything was perfect! Perfect location, lodging, private beach, pool, easy parking, great location, And lovely hosts!
