We enjoyed our stay at the Villa. It is a beautiful place. The view from the balcony is amazing. We liked the pool area. We highly recommend this place. Be careful with electricity usage even if we had air conditionning only at night it cost us extra money at the end of our stay even if most of the time we were not there during the day.

Fantastic Villa and Great Location

We very much enjoyed spending our Christmas vacation together with our (adult) children in this beautiful villa. A great welcome by Mario! Gated area which helps feeling safe in the house. Some appliances and (outside) furniture may be getting a bit older, but they are still very convenient and comfortable. We very much recommend this villa - a great place to spend your vacation in Curacao.

Such a wonderful Vacation House!!!

We were thrilled with the house and all accommodations as well as with our contact, the house manager. She was friendly and helpful and definitely added to our overall satisfaction. Our 3 year old delighted in the on site playground and pool area while his grandparents enjoyed the privacy of the apartment downstairs. Highly recommend for large families or group of friends and would love to book again in the future. They were super flexible and let us stay another night when our flight got cancelled. All 8 of us absolutely LOVED our stay.

Beautiful home

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is roomy and clean. The pool and yard are beautiful. Mario was very helpful with our needs and questions about the island. The weather was very hot and humid and the air conditioning was great in the bedrooms but the rest of the house needs much more air circulation. Additional fans would be great.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Sept 2021
Thank you for your review Barb. For future reference here is a short explanation; September is hurricane season, which means that the weather is warmer than usual. The way on the island to get circulation in the house is by opening windows. Not something we're used to in the USA. But homes on the island are designed for this purpose. On another note, there are 2 moveable standing fans available plus there is a ceiling fan and an AC in the living room. I will look though to see if there is anything we can improve.

Wonderful House!

We are 2 couples from the US who stayed here for a week. It's a really lovely home with a well equipped kitchen, beautiful pool and outdoor area, and toys for water such as floaties and snorkeling. We didn't bring kids but this house would be great for 2 families with kids. The middle bedroom could sleep 4 kids and there is a TV room with a door that closes as well as the great pool! Mario was a super helpful an available manager who helped us with all our needs. We would happily stay here again if we return to Curacao.

Curacao Family Gathering

Overall we enjoyed the house and apartment a great deal. It's a beautiful setting with great areas and sizes of rooms. The bedrooms are big and each has an air conditioning unit. Bathrooms are great. Main living area is open and airy. There is a great, large covered porch we all spent most of our time on. The pool and the area around it, including a covered gazebo were also great to use. We had a few issues early on but had easy access to both the homeowner and property manager and they were addressed quickly. Nice, safe, gated community and easy to get to nearby beaches and stores. About 20 minutes to the tourist area of Willemstad.

Perfect Vacation

We had the pleasure of staying at this place for two weeks. It was amazing. The house is massive and beautiful. So many levels and different areas that it was ideal for a group of 7. The location cannot be beat. It is in a gated community in one of the nicest parts of the island. The pool is fantastic as is the large up to date kitchen. We cooked some great meals at the house using all the appliances provided and the bbq. Some great restaurants and stores are a mere 5 minute drive, as is the beach. And there are so many beaches to visit. Pierre was wonderful in assisting us before we arrived and Just Drive gave us a great deal on two rental cars. We have been to many islands over the years and really fell in love with Curaçao. So much so that we looked at buying our own house there. We would highly recommend this place, it is one of the best houses on the island. We will be back again for sure.

Gorgeous villa overlooking the Spanish Waters

Beautiful house, perfect for our family of 7. Suky, the property manager was incredibly responsive and helpful. Close to Mambo Beach, Tugboat Beach, the aquarium and east side activities. Grocery stores were 10-15 minutes away. Willemstad is 20 minutes away and Wespunt beaches were 45-50 minutes away. If you want to experience the whole island and not just one resort beach, this is a great location. AC worked really well and cooled the house very quickly. The house has big, beautiful windows that all open to allow a cross-breeze that keeps the house comfortable without AC. Adding blinds on the front windows would help keep the house cool in the morning because the sun is hot on the island. Stove is huge and once you learn how to light the propane it's very easy to use. The pool was lovely to come home to after a day out exploring the island. We loved having dinner on the patio and watching the sun set. A car rental is a must. We rented through Pierre and Sharon and would do so again. Pickup was fast and easy, and the cars were in good condition.

Fantastic property and holiday

We enjoyed a lovely holiday in Curacao, highlighted by our stay at the villa. Based upon the information depicted on the website and through emails exchanged with the owners (Pierre and Sharon), we had high expectations for the property. We are not disappointed, as the property was everything we had hoped for! The property was simply beautiful; very well appointed, with tasteful furnishings and all the desired amenities, as well as a fantastic view of the Spanish Water and surrounding hills. We especially enjoyed the very nice pool and deck/patio areas of the property. As for the surrounding area, there are beaches and recreational activities within 5-10 min from the house. There are also a number of great restaurants in the Jan Sofat/Jan Thiel area, so one doesn't have to go far for great cuisine! From start to finish, the entire process was totally painless, from the initial inquiry and booking, through check-in (assisted by the lovely Franca), to check out and recoup of deposit, everything went smoothly. Bottom line, this is a wonderful property that we will not hesitate to enjoy again on our next trip to Curacao!! Highly recommended!!

Lovely, spacious home for a week

Our family (mum, dad and 2 sons in their 20's) enjoyed a week together in Curacao and called this space home. The property is as shown, a little more lived in than photos, but that is expected The kitchen is well equipped and had a handful of spices which had been left over from previous guests. We used the kitchen daily for breakfast, snacks and a few dinners. The bed and bath linens are of quality and the provision of beach towels is very nice. Make sure to pack all toiletries, as bath soap, shampoo and conditioner are not provided, but easily purchased at the grocery. The area is very safe and quiet. We walked int he mornings around the neighborhood and rarely were passed by cars. For those who keep a workout routine, we found the resistance bands we travel with could be used in many ways, as can the hill outside to the left of the house. Great family workouts on the deck. The pool is lovely and was great to take a dip in on and off when we were home, as it is obviously hot and humid. We highly recommend renting a car, as it would be very difficult to get around without one. Renting from the owners was a breeze. Check in and communication with Mario was easy. Internet worked well, but could be slow if we had several devices hooked. Easily solved, but disconnecting. As few of our favorites were the pig beach, Blue View restaurant and cliff jumping, Wednesday night dancing, Thursday evening live music in Punda and of course the flamingos.

AMAZING home in a beautiful part of Curacao

This home really is as stunning as the pictures. From the beginning Pierre was very responsive. He knows the best beaches, restaurants and special Curacao places. One of those special places is this home. The master bedroom with a super comfy bed is like a private paradise. The other bedrooms are also great (according to our daughters who used them) The AC in each room does a great job keeping things nice and cool during the Curacao heat. The fully stocked kitchen is gorgeous and user friendly. We cooked in about five times, State of the art, large fridge and great gas stove and oven. The fridge and freezer held all our food and booze.. mostly booze and beer... comfortably Lots of comfy seating and dining spots. We loved the inside of this house, but the real magic is outside. The pool is spectacular. Lots of lounging space in and out of the sun. We were in the pool during the day and at night. Love the Wi-fi speaker system that you can hear throughout the house and in the pool area. Franc is wonderful and responsive. She even purchased some groceries for us that were waiting when our late flight arrived. The only slight disappointment was the 'game room'. There aren't really any complete games to play. But it did look like there were toys for small kids. We will come back to Curaco and we will try to lock down this house again. It was a great week with a great house in a fantastic home!

thanks for your kind words John, much appreciated! I am sorry to hear some games weren't complete. I will ask the property manager to make sure she will remove those. I did bought new ones though, but they weren't in the game room but in the cabinet under the phone ;(. So I wish I knew so I could have told you. Sorry for this. I will ask the property manager to put them in the gameroom as that is where they should be obviously ;-) happy new year! Pierre

For our first trip to Curacao we had a great time and this property was exactly as described, super clean, and we were very appreciative of the well stocked kitchen and extra towels. We really enjoyed the Senseo coffee maker! One thing to note as called out in the description is the warmth of the Curacao air during the day. We were happy to have the breeze and made use of the many windows and doors of the house to create a cross breeze while only using the air conditioning at night, which cooled really quickly. We also felt really safe in the quiet, gated community.

The property has pretty bones, but is not well maintained. All the doors and windows seem to be past their prime. The windows were partially off their hinges in one bedroom. I could not leave the primary bedroom without waking everyone in the house up due to the door being creaky and not leveled on its hinges. The pool needs to be vacuumed. The oven is broken and a light fixture is hanging from the living room ceiling, My girlfriend found a discarded menstrual cup box in the bathroom from the previous guest. There was also a major ant infestation throughout the house, they were particularly in concentrated in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We kept no food out but that didn’t seem to slow them down. All the doors on the first floor are vented which renders the AC useless on that floor, and there is also a 60 watt limit per stay for the house if you go over this you will be fined, so only expect to have ac in bedrooms while sleeping. Some animal defected on the pool deck every other day. When we arrived the property manger did nothing to prepare the house for our arrival like open windows or turn on some ac. When we asked the property manager about maintenance issues with the house we were told it was scheduled to be fixed the day after we left.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. While we regret that several of these issues affected your stay, we wish they had been brought to our attention while you were at the property. We live nearby and have a responsive maintenance team, and in most cases we would have been able to address them promptly so you could fully enjoy your vacation. The cleaning issue you mentioned, including the item left behind in the bathroom, is completely unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight. We have reviewed this with our housekeeping team and implemented additional quality-control checks to help ensure it does not happen again. Regarding the ants, this is unfortunately a seasonal reality in the Caribbean, particularly during the dry season. Even with regular professional pest control treatments around the property, ants can occasionally find their way indoors, especially in homes designed to take advantage of the island's natural breeze. For our guests' convenience, we provide insect spray, and the exterior of the property is professionally treated every month. The animal droppings on the pool deck were most likely from iguanas, which are common throughout Curaçao, especially around gardens and pools. While we do our best to discourage them, they are wild animals and can occasionally visit the property despite our efforts. We would also like to clarify one point regarding electricity. We do not charge guests simply for using the air conditioning. Electricity is included up to 60 kWh per day, which is more than sufficient for normal use of the entire house, including all air-conditioning units. Only unusually excessive consumption beyond this generous daily allowance may incur an additional charge. The shutters in the doors on the main floor are fully adjustable and can be closed to help keep the cool air inside while using the air conditioning. We would also like to address the comment regarding the home's temperature upon arrival. As part of our standard preparation, the house is thoroughly cleaned and secured before guest arrival. Because of Curaçao's tropical climate, we generally keep the windows and doors closed after cleaning to help maintain security and keep insects outside. Guests are welcome to open the windows to enjoy the island breeze or use the air conditioning according to their personal preference during their stay. Since your stay, we have invested significantly in improving the property. Over the past few weeks we have: Repaired and adjusted all doors and windows. Repainted the entire main floor and apartment. Fixed the lighting issues. Completed a deep clean of the entire home. Upgraded much of the interior furniture. Upgraded and replaced all patio and pool deck furniture. Completed another professional pest-control treatment. We genuinely appreciate guest feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience we provide. We are confident these improvements have made the home even more enjoyable, and we look forward to welcoming future guests to experience the beautiful, relaxing Caribbean vacation that our property is intended to offer.

Originally from the Netherlands, we have lived with our 2 children for 10 years on Curacao and still love the island and our home. As we moved to the USA, we decided to keep our home and rent it out and let other people experience the same love for Dushi Korsou (sweet Curacao) and our home as we did.

Why they chose this property

Our villa at Jan Sofat offers you all you need to unwind and have a home base from where you can explore the island. The house offers a peaceful day at the swimming pool with a lounge area as well as a playhouse for the kids.
Unwinding has never been easier with a masseusse or a pedicure available on the day you want them.
Don't feel like cooking? Just let us know as we can arrange a complete dinner for you.
This home offers everything the entire family needs. Privacy as well as entertainment.
For a nice sea adventure try the boat trips that are offered to Klein Curacao and other nice places.. The point of departure is just at the end of the street. Snorkeling at a sunken tugboat and all the beautiful fishes and corals are not more then 5 minutes from our home at the Caracasbay.
Our home is conviently located, away from the crowded tourist areas but near enough to benefit from the touristic restaurants, beaches and nightlife.

What makes this property unique

Every sunset is amazing. Overlooking the sea and Spanish water the sky burst open with all kinds of shades from violet to pink and blue. The evenings present themselves as cooler but there is no need to get indoors as it always stays warm, just let the breeze of the tropic winds cool you off. If you do like to escape the warm weather, EVERY room in the house has Airconditioning!!!
