We were two families staying for five nights in April. The property is beautiful, it looks exactly like the pictures in the listing. The rooms are clean and spacious and the outdoor space is lovely with plenty of seating areas and options. The house location was central to all of our needs - we rented a car and most things were less than 20 minutes away. Casiola was very communicative and responsive to all of our requests. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay. Never heard from anyone, checked ourselves in and out. The house was big, beautiful, and clean. A pizza oven would have been great if we could have closed its door. Overall, a beautiful place in a nice location.

Hi Stacey, thank you! We're happy to read you had such a great time. Please come back soon :) Sunny regards, Julia
This villa was perfect and amazing for our multi-generational family vacation! During the entire planning process, the Casiola team was extremely responsive and communicative with me if any issues arose; or just to answer my many pre-trip questions or inquiries. This really helped to ease any stressors that we may have had while planning the vacation. I give high praise to the entire Casiola team for this! Things to know about the villa...we would recommend renting a car for your trip if staying here, as it is located on the North region of the island. It's easy to navigate the roads and roundabouts of Aruba. We felt safe and comfortable in the villa and the community it is in. As far as inside the villa...the door locks for each door (front door, patio doors) are very tricky to figure out as they all lock differently so consideration should be made by the Casiola team to provide operational instructions for each door for the guests to refer to. The icemaker was a little temperamental, so we ended up buying a couple bags of ice to have in the freezer to make sure we had ice on hand and available at all times. Overall, the villa is spacious, bright and just absolutely beautiful. We have been spoiled for future vacations! Highly recommend!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Azul. The Villa was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We were very impress with the large pool, clean rooms and quiet location of the villa. If you really want to enjoy a relaxing and memorable time I suggest you book this Villa. It was 9 family members and we had more than enough room. I would definitely rent Villa Azul again. Once you stay here you will not want to stay any where else in Aruba! Stuart which manages the Villa did everything to make our stay very comfortable. I recommend this Vill to everyone!!!!!

Hi Maria, glad to read you and your family had such a good time at Villa Azul. We hope to see you back soon. Regards, Stuart
Our first trip to Aruba and this home was perfect! We were a family of seven and enjoyed sitting out back, cooking, swimming, playing cards, etc. The property management was very quick to respond and send people over to fix anything we needed.
The dryer did not work. The repairman came and told me how to use it but it did not work. We were able to hang clothes out back in the sun and they dried quickly with the windy conditions.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future. Warm regards, Stuart & Julia
This house is amazing!! My girlfriends, group of 8, were in Aruba on a girls trip. The house provided more than enough space for everyone. The back yard with the pool was exceptional. We hired a chef that came over and cooked brunch daily and we sat at the outside table.
There were more than enough beach towels for all of us and also had beach chairs that were were able to take to the beach if needed. Just need to go to the grocery store, all the pans, dishes, towels and everything else needed is in the house.
The only con about the house is that, as the previous 2 renters stated, the dryer DOES NOT WORK!! They sent someone over a couple of times and said it was fixed but it was not. It would eventually turn on but there was no heat. This was frustrating as we were at the beach daily, stayed for a week, and needed to wash. They just need to replace the dryer.

Dear Tia, Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback about your recent stay at our house in Aruba! We're thrilled to hear that you and your girlfriends had an amazing time and that the house provided more than enough space for everyone. According to our records, the technician visited the property multiple times to fix the dryer and confirmed that it is now in working order. The start button simply requires a slightly firmer touch to initiate the dryer's operation. Rest assured, we will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure it remains in proper working condition. We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve our guests' experience. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we value your observations. We hope that you had an unforgettable time in Aruba overall, and we would be delighted to welcome you and your friends back for another fantastic stay in the future. Kind regards, Stuart & Julia

Our family of 8 had a wonderful time at Villa Azul. Stuart and Freya were great and their suggestions and service were on the money. Upon arrival late Saturday, we discovered some minor problems with door locks and electrical - Stuart addressed these problems immediately and was very accommodating with every personal request. Home was very clean but there is a bit of wear and tear compared to the online photos - this is not unusual for a rental…nevertheless, it did not affect our experience. If vacationing with a large group, we highly recommend a Chef night - Ricky was great and allot of fun….Freya set this up for us and she handled grocery delivery prior to arrival. The local grocery store was an easy 5 minute drive and the high rise hotel strip was an easy 10 minute drive. You can’t really walk to any beach or restaurant so plan on a car rental with a good GPS. Overall, Villa Azul is a great Aruba destination and we will target this rental in the future or another one of Stuart’s rentals on RentStar.

Beautiful property. If want to be in the middle of things wouldn't recommend this though, just stay in a hotel. Although 5 min away it becomes bothersome not being right on Beach and in middle of things. Very pretty yes, but beds also very very hard! Several doors needed some repair and we're extremely hard to shut or flew open. One of the vents in the bathroom was just completely open. Not sure what was up with that. Several chairs in back porch broke im sure just from general overuse, but then leg wobbled and made one of family members fall. For several families wouldn't recommend this home just due to how loud it gets, the echoing, and inconvenience to beach. Esp with the kids. This was suppose to be relaxing but the constant travel back and forth to beach was a pain for us. We didn't spend much time together cause we all wanted to be down by beaches or around shops.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2020
Hi Rachel,
Sorry the rental did not meet your expectations. The high rise area and beach is just a 3minute drive away. There aren't really any ocean front rentals on Aruba except for hotels and some condos. At those properties you would be making a 3 minute track through lobbies and elevators. The issue with the door hardware was fixed by the locksmith. All doors, windows, hardware is functioning properly now. The lounge chairs by the pool have since also been replaced. We keep ou properties up to standards and have a quality maintenance and upkeep program in place. We are getting mostly 5 star reviews that confirm this and enjoy a high percentage of repeat guests at our villas. That said, we are truly sorry the stay was not what you expected.
Warm regards,
Stuart

Villa Azul Aruba was perfect for our family of 13. It was large and spacious, beautifully decorated, and provided plenty of space for everyone. Upstairs my husband and I enjoyed the huge Master Suite, which had the upstairs balcony with the view of the water. Our daughter and her husband also had access to the balcony off their bedroom. Their children used the twin bedroom outside of the Master. Downstairs the 2 bedrooms were on opposite ends of the house. This provided separation for my daughter's family with an 11 month old who sometimes wakes during the night. He was far away from the others and did not disturb them. Pack and Play and high chair were provided. The other downstairs bedroom was off a huge den and had the queen bunkbeds. This was perfect for our son's family of 4. It was almost as if they had their own private suite! The kitchen was well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, flatware,etc. There were even plastic plates for the children. Dish detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, coffee, and basic spices were provided. However only 1 extra trash bag. Well supplied with towels, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, pool toys. The pictures do not do this house justice. It is lovely and very clean. Attention paid to detail. Ardeline and Freya were most helpful and responsive to all emails and calls.
