The place was clean, it had a very nice large outdoor pool and covered sun porch that had enough chairs for our group of 10. Beds were comfortable! The only inconvenience that we experienced was there wasn’t enough lighting in the kitchen over the sink and over the stove. Generally, there’s enough light to see and eat, but for food prep and cleaning up I prefer more lighting to ensure I get the things cleaned up.! I highly recommend the place and I would stay there again.!

We had a great stay in Aruba! House is very large and worked perfectly for our 4 couples. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook meals. We enjoyed the beautiful pool to cool down and the covered deck was a bonus to get out of the sun. The beach and restaurants are a bit of a walk to get to but was good exercise. Grocery store close to the house was ok but Chengs was more affordable but you would need a car to get there. The food trailer across from the local grocery store had amazing Pastechi’s. The best we had tried on the island. Monica did not disappoint! Bob was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay!

The villa was beautiful! The pool was very enjoyable. We were in it every day. The laundry machines worked out great. It was nice to have 2 washing machines. We completed the 1000 piece puzzle with 1 exception-it is missing one piece. We looked all over for it and couldn't find it. Hopefully maybe the cleaning people can find it. A couple of suggestions: having hooks on the bedroom doors would help with hanging up clothes items. Another thought-maybe putting light strips under kitchen cabinets would provide more lighting since the kitchen is very dark. Overall, we would come back!! Thank you Bob!

Ten minute walk to the beach, and shops are a tiny bit further.The host was very responsive and provided so much helpful information about the area. Easy to find the home. Lots of parking. Huge, private back yard with chairs, pool, grill, pool floats, places to hang beach towels. Beautiful landscaping and we heard and saw lots of birds. There is a grocery store a few blocks away.
