Absolutely stunning and beautiful stay and the host is beyond wonderful. We got a bit lost and she even came to us and helped us back to the house. We had a great time and are already talking about our next visit!
We really enjoyed our stay in the this lovely property. We were greeted with a nice welcome basket and very much enjoyed the waterfront access. Looking forward to returning!
It’s a beautiful villa at sea with a nice pool. We really enjoyed our stay! It was just renovated, so everything was nicely painted and the kitchen and bathrooms were modernised.
Everything is as advertised or better than shown in the listing. The owner of the house put a lot of thought into every detail of the design and landscaping. The property management company does a great job as well. It isn't clear from the pictures, but the underwater world right down the steps was amazing.
This house is beautifully renovated and in the perfect location for a relaxing, quiet diving vacation. Property managers filled the fridge with groceries and arranged massages and answered all of our questions even when they were late at night. Can’t wait to come back!
This location is outstanding, and we could have spent the majority of our trip just at this house and been happy. Just steps away is a beautiful underwater world, and the house is very well outfitted and comfortable. The owner and management company are very responsive. It is a bucket list spot, and I hope to return very soon!

Kelda and her kids were excellent guests and very friendly! They took care of the house like it was their own and left it very clean. The communication with Kelda was very easy. She and her kids were divers and enjoyed the house reef a lot. Overall, they were great guests and we would love to welcome them back again!
The house was wonderful and comfortable for our 7 people. We picked this house because it had a staircase to the shore area instead of a ladder, as we wanted to spend a lot of time snorkeling and diving. Both were spectacular! The house is right at a great dive site that is otherwise only available by boat.
We are in our early sixties and have travelled the world. This is one of those beautiful and harmonious places you always hope to find. Everything we could wish for is here. The inside and outside of the villa are in perfect balance. The tastefully decorated veranda was great to enjoy cocktails while watching amazing sunsets.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us, we enjoyed our stay so much. The description and photos were very accurate. There is so much that is included in this home; well stocked kitchen, grill, kayaks, ping pong, comfortable beds and furniture, and more. The view is incredible! Thank you again- Tara
Great villa, awesome views, great pool, nice secluded location
Not much to add from many other reviewers. Only bummer would be the constant flies bitting you all day, that isn’t an issue with the home but the island. Hosts were awesome, met us at the home when we arrived and were easily accessible. I had hoped to do a bunch of snorkeling from the steps entering the sea but it was too rough most of the time. We had Manouk a private chef join us on multiple nights. She was DYNAMITE.

This is an update to the response we had earlier to Andrew’s review: in the meantime we have created an additional access to the sea by creating a path of 250 yards to the Sabadeco created stairs on the right (in the green stroke). These stairs are situated in an area not much affected by swell with instant deep waters that provide easy entry and exit year-round.
Original response:
Dear Andrew, many thanks for your positive review. In October and November it is indeed common to have some swell on the south side of the island that can make access more challenging. Nevertheless, we are currently creating two additional ways to safely access the sea since we also consider access to the unique snorkeling/diving possibilities in front of the villa as paramount to the experience. We will share those improvements with you when they become available. As for the mosquitos, yes it is a nuisance, mostly in November and December when there is more rain. We always use quite a bit of repellant to discourage the little buggers. Best regards Woldemar
This was our 3rd trip to Bonaire, but first time at this property & with another couple with a 12 & 15 year old. The kids & each couple had our own rooms with ensuite bathrooms, including dual showers & AC units. The upstairs has a well stocked kitchen, tv room, sitting area & an expansive deck with lounge & table seating (we only ate breakfasts outside as the bugs were too bad at dinnertime).The patio is huge with several lounge chairs. We used the salt water pool daily & the outdoor shower was very convenient. Four of us were divers & we used the beach several times for day & night dives (dive site Barkadera). The non-divers could watch from a comfortable palapa, and there was a handy rinse tank for gear. The house was stocked with snorkel gear, pool toys, games, books, cooler & water jugs. The washer & dryer were a little frustrating as we had to run loads twice for the washer to unlock & the dryer took a couple of cycles to dry a load. But there's a large drying rack to hang damp items & they provide laundry soap. There are plenty of bath & beach towels, toiletries, tp, hand soap & dish/dishwasher soap. We only had to buy groceries & an extra roll of paper towels. The cleaning crew does a great job & Marijn with Qvillas is very accommodating with check-in, check-out & assisting with dinner reservations. Location is convenient to town & the national park. Highly recommend!.towels. roo.
Location is spectacular- we did many dives and snorkels (day and night) right in front of the property and it’s close to other awesome dive sites (nothing in Bonaire is far) … def bring watershoes. Beds and bedrooms are all comfortable and with mosquito nets, and AC for sleeping worked great. Everything was very clean. We stayed 10 days and the house was cleaned again mid-stay. Pool and upper and lower decks are awesome. Grocery stores are 5 mins away (expensive) and 15 mins away (reasonable). 5 mins to decent restaurants and 15 mins to downtown. Kitchen is not gourmet but is totally serviceable / well equipped. Communication with QVillas was outstanding. Literally the only thing that could have made the house more comfortable is ceiling fans in the great room (stand fans on the upper outside deck were very helpful w/ the small non-biting insects). Bring more DEET-based bug spray than you think you need (it works, but it’s also expensive on island if you run out). There is lots of wildlife (lizards, iquanas, colorful birds) all around the house. We would go back in a heartbeat.
The house was amazing! We loved everything about this house including our very own dive site right off the back steps. Incredible sunsets and our host Isabella was there for us at every request. Brought in a personal Chef for a night and had a perfect day on a private Catamaran and dive by Klein Bonaire. They can arrange it all!
Heerlijke 3 weken gehad in een mooi ruim huis aan zee met prachtig uitzicht. De veranda's zijn heerlijk koel en heel fijn dat je zo de zee inspringt. De badkamers zijn een beetje verouderd maar verder is het een sfeervol en gezellig huis.

p.s. Volgend jaar zal een er verbouwing plaatsvinden aan de keuken en de badkamers zodat deze weer helemaal up to date zijn!
Warme groet,

Property was wonderful, we could not have asked for more! Shanna and Gladys were helpful and responsive.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking such great care of our house. Thank you for choosing our listing and we do hope to see you again! Warm regards, Sabine
I have stayed in several HomeAway homes over the years in Bonaire (one was for a month) and I would have given all a 5 out of 5 or at minimum a 4 out of 5 but this home was beyond a 5.
I was visiting Onel of Martijn Wood work on the island one evening at the house as he did some wood work for me to bring back the USA. Onel was very impressed and when a wood work craftsman says the house very special that means something.

James was very nice. We almost forgot that he was in staying in the house as he and his guests had no request during their stay at all which is pretty amazing. I got a great tip for wood work ;) Thank you for this! I hope that you will visit us again.
Absolutely loved this house: spectacular setting with good snorkeling right off the shore; house well-equipped and exactly as described; great ACs in bedrooms; super responsive and helpful management. Wish we could have stayed a month!

About the host
Hosted by Sabine Vroling
We are very proud of these properties and, through the many friends that we have entertained over the years, we have found that the appeal is mutual. We find the pleasure of sharing something we really enjoy ourselves very gratifying and that is one of the main reasons for putting the properties on the market.
Why they chose this property
This is a passion of our family run operation which started with Hanna Tedder, who, with the help of a Dutch architect, completely designed the Bonaire house some 15 years ago as a secluded family get away.
What makes this property unique
To make our guests stay as sweet as possible, We will remain available to you throughout your stay to solve any inconvenience you may have or to act as your concierge and guide you through our lovely islands.
We are passionate about nature, the sea and in particularly about all sea life and we would like to urge you go on safari in the crystal clear waters of the Dutch Caribbean and discover the wonders of the deep.
