Karin was GREAT with check-in and check-out. Property was beautiful! Very spacious, very clean. Great location for walking into Willemsted with tons of restaurants along the way. Small suggestion—put a loose sheet on the bed as another option to just the comforter. That way guests can keep the AC temp higher at night and still be cool enough to sleep.

Great experience for everyone

We stayed here for 12 nights. We were really happy with the property. The location is excellent, not only for the beach/pool but the walking distance to the city centre and an endless choice of great restaurants. We would definitely recommend and will likely be back.

Great stay!

Wonderful stay, listing was accurate and the view was even better in person. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the home provided all the amenities that we needed plus more. Great location with tons of restaurants in walking distance, awesome beach and pool for kids and adults. The host was also awesome, very welcoming, great communication and even had welcome goodies for us. We'll definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great Stay

Luckily this year spring breaks aligned letting us get away as a family and this was a great place to do it. Clean, bright, easy access to diving, dinning, shopping, and a private lagoon. Daytime highs in the mid eighties would have us running the AC at home, here, open the doors/windows and the steady breeze off the ocean kept us comfortable. Great place to stay, friendly staff and plenty of room. We plan to return.

The Strand is really nice - it has a great location where you are close enough to walk into town, but still not in the business of actually staying downtown. The apartment was immaculate and is set up really nice. Very modern decor and pretty much all the amenities that you could ask for. It's a 2.5 bedroom and is best suited for a family with kids in our opinion. The second bedroom is very nice, but when you stay with two couples, one of you is definitely getting the short straw when you compare it to the master. Super clean, super beach area, secure parking, great place to stay. Host is excellent and very responsive.

Amazing view and beach. Great for an almost 2 year old to swim in the ocean - so protected and safe

Beautiful condo! Such an amazing place to swim in the ocean. The protected beach was private and safe and warm. Only concern was dryer. Our clothes never got completely dry.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo at The Strand. We are a family of four with two young kids (5 and 8). Everything is incredibly convenient with this location with phenomenal restaurants all within short walking distance. You are directly next to Avila Hotel if you want any hotel amenities. The beach cove at The Strand is perfect for swimming, snorkeling and playing in sand. Our boys loves the family of iguanas that live in the rocks. Communication with the people are great and everyone is friendly. Curacao and this VRBO was 5 stars all around for a family looking for adventure. Only slight negatives are construction next door, which we barely ever heard and was not a problem. Also, directly across the street lot is a run down area with a rooster that loves mornings, but it was cultural and fun for us that was part of the awesome experience that you go to Curacao for!

This was our first time Curacao and were very happy with the property at the Strand. It is beautiful property with awesome views of the lagoon and ocean — love the balcony! Pool was clean and well maintained daily. We found it nice to be centrally located between Willemsted and Jan Theil, and, with a rental car, it was easy to get to the main highway for snorkeling location in west Curacao. Though the building is located adjacent to residential area, we were comfortable to walk to Willemsted; residents were friendly and generally kept to themselves. The rental unit itself was very clean and modern. Kitchen was stocked well enough for us to cook a few meals throughout the week. With two young-adult children with us, it was great to have three bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. The clothes washer/dryer allowed us to pack lighter and have only carry-on luggage (aside from dive gear). No issues with mechanics. When we did have questions, we received responses very quickly. Quiet and peaceful as well, with sounds of the ocean very relaxing. Faint sounds of the local roosters gave some occasional humor too. Check-in & check-out were well coordinated and easy. Karin and Angie were very friendly and nice to speak with. Overall, I would gladly stay here again in the future.

we love curacao

We had a wonderful stay and wish we could have stayed longer. We really enjoyed the beach area and the closeness to town. The listing has a few inconsistencies. you are responsible for paper towels and toilet paper after the initial is gone and the wifi has changed than the one stated in the binder but these are little things that did not detract from our stay. This condo was perfect for our family.

Beautiful View - Clean Uncluttered Property

We think this condo is in a great location, and this particular unit has a great view. The unit was clean, ready for our arrival, and boast an admirable view from it's 3rd story location. Four adults stayed here comfortably, the kitchen had everything we needed for any meals we made in the unit. The master and 2nd bedroom are amply sized, the third bedroom is very small, appropriate for a young child, but not an adult. The beautiful balcony has a table and six chairs, a lovely spot for any meal. But there is only one comfortable lounge chair, there really should be two. Overall, we'd be happy to stay hear again.

Time to recharge

Wonderfully relaxing space with that million dollar view. The condo had all we needed for a great stay and is as described. Plenty of towels - beach ones as well. Very clean with a fun selection of books, but mostly in Dutch and we don’t speak the language, but fun to flip through in any case. Kitchen was stocked with all needed to prepare your own meals. Appliances worked perfectly. The bedding seemed to lack a flat sheet on beds, but that is a matter of taste and just what we are used to in the states. There was, however, a lack of bed pillows and when we asked for a few more, none arrived. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return to the same spot upon a return trip to Curaçao!

Great Location, Hidden Fees

The location is great with a swimming, pool, beach, and snorkeling, right out your door. The condo is spacious and can house 2 to 3 families easily. It is close to shops and restaurants. We would recommend the Wine Cellar. There were, however, hidden charges that we did not expect. We were asked to pay for the electric bill beyond a certain amount per day, which was not in the contract. It’s been three weeks since we rented and we have not received our deposit back nor did we receive any communication as to why. For these reasons, we are giving this condo a low rating and renters should be aware of hidden charges.

Hi Candace, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to read you felt our costs were hidden. We are open about the electricity fee in the rental agreement sent out after booking and during check-in. We indeed charge an extra fee if the electricity use is above a certain limit. As electricity is a scarce and expensive commodity on the island we want to encourage our guests to use it wisely. However I think our maximum use rate is very reasonable as in all the years that we are renting out we have never had to charge extra and you were also not charged because you stayed within the allowed limit. As for the damage deposit, this deposit is refunded automatically by VRBO after 1 week and as is clearly stated on the website of VRBO it can take up to 2 weeks before the amount is deposited back to you depending on your payment method. This is outside of our control. As far as I can see the deposit was refunded back to you within the stated time frame.

Fantastic View - Great Location!

The Strand was perfect for us! We are a family of four and to have a bathroom attached to each bedroom was very nice. And, the extra 1/2 bathroom off the kitchen was a bonus! The oversized chair out on the balcony was a family favorite! The building and unit were very clean and quiet. The view is incredible! When we initially booked the unit we were thrilled that there was also a pool but honestly, we spent all our time down on the water or exploring other beaches and the island. We loved that The Strand is within walking distance of Willemstad as well. It was the perfect place for us to unwind!! The check-in and check-out process was easy and Saskia was ready to help with whatever we needed. Tanne was very responsive with her all communication (I had many questions for her prior to our renting the unit). We had no issues whatsoever. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend 3C at The Strand!

Curacao condo

This beautiful condo is about a 7 minute drive from downtown Willemstad where all the action is. You can also walk there in under 30 minutes – we did, almost every day. Gorgeous view from the porch, living room and master bedroom. Very quiet and private. Very clean. Nice quality linens and towels and comfortable beds. The central air works great. Nice pool and private beach with lounge chairs. Fast Internet in the condo and at the beach. Generous supply of toilet paper and paper towels. Very responsive when you have a question or an issue. The only reason we did not rate this property with five stars is that the hot water did not work in either the master bathroom shower or in the second bedroom shower. So we had to shower in the third small bathroom off of the small third single bedroom (think cruise ship sized shower).

This condo at The Strand is highly recommended! Family of four that included a 24 and 25 year old. The bedroom/bath layout was great and helped us with arriving back from a day out and every one cleaning up to go to dinner. All the beds were comfortable and condo clean and in great working order. Location is convenient to restaurants and all within short walking distance. The beach cove here was our favorite to return to and relax after being out. Communication with the owner on questions as well as the hosts on onsite is top notch and everyone is friendly. We will recommend to others and look forward to coming back to explore Curacao some more. The condo gave us a great base for a fabulous week! Sunsets were enjoyed from the cove also.

This property is very well positioned. Not only do you have the benefits of a private beach and pool for the limited number of units in the building, but you are within walking distance of downtown Willemstad and many great restaurants within the immediate vicinity of the property.

Wonderful condo!!

First time to Curacao and I would recommend staying here for so many reason; the location is excellent...close to town, restaurants, a major hotel is a few buildings down and its near other major beach centers; having your own beach on the property was a huge advantage as it can get very busy at other beaches, and this beach was beautiful, beautiful sand, water and your own gorgeous sunsets. The view is outstanding...one of the prettiest Vrbo views I have had. Very quiet building and very clean. The owners are wonderful, they respond so quickly to all of your questions and are very helpful. We would highly recommend this condo!!
