About this property
Your Private Waterfront Paradise!
Villa Bon Bida is right on the Curaçao's Spanish Water bay with a private pier, deck and pergola with breathtaking views of Curaçao's famous Tafelberg. It's an isolated spot for rest and relaxation - your own private slice of paradise! You will love the fresh breezes off the water, relaxing in the hammocks with a good book and enjoying a coffee at sunrise, or your favorite drink at sunset or under the stars on the deck at night.
After leisurely waking up, you can enjoy the morning breeze while having breakfast on the deck under the pergola or in our cozy breakfast nook. If you are up early enough, you can catch the amazing sunrise with a coffee sitting on the pier or in the hammock under the pergola. Afterwards, you can catch up on your reading while relaxing in one of our hammocks. If you want to be more adventurous, you can take a car to experience the many attractions Curaçao has to offer. Be sure to get back to the house in time to pour your favorite drink and capture the magical transition the views take at sunset.
Can you picture yourself here? We can accommodate you! The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and can sleep a total of 6 people. This is our private beach house that we are sharing with guests when we are not there, so we only provide what we would want for ourselves!
We ask for a minimum of 5 nights, with discounts for weekly and monthly rentals.
If you rent our car, we will pick you up at the airport and tell you about the "must see" spots on the island! If you don't rent our car, we do recommend that you rent a car from an agency to get around if you would like to leave the house to replenish supplies or even just to see the local area because there is nothing within walking distance of the house and no mass transportation close by.
To give you an idea of distances, the closest grocery store is around 5-10 minutes away by car. The Jan Thiel beach area, which has four restaurants, from casual to upscale, as well as beach bars and shopping, is around 5-10 minutes away by car. The downtown "Punda" area, where the historic "handelskade" is located, is around a 15 minute drive from the house. You will find shopping, restaurants, bars and the cinemas there as well. If you are into golf, check out Old Quarry, which is around 15 minutes away in the other direction. So, you are basically within a 10 to 15 minute drive of most everywhere you'd like to go!
If you want to check out the other side of the island, called "banda abou" (literally meaning "other side"), it will take you around 30-45 minutes, depending on how far you want to go.
We look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our weekend home!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Heather de Paulo

Owners, Barry and Heather de Paulo, have been living on the island since 2005. Heather is an American and Barry is a local, both with plenty of experience and knowledge about the island to show tourists all that Curaçao has to offer! They have two children, both born on Curaçao.
Why they chose this property
Curaçao's waters have something special about them, and their unpredictability and beauty makes one feel a sense of awe and respect when he/she experiences their magic. The Spanish water inlet is extra special because there are few natural inlets like it on the island that allows one to enjoy this magic, irrespective of what's happening in the unpredictable sea "outside." I have had visitors come to the island to visit, and when we take them on the water and they see the "kabritu berg" and the other natural beauty of the area, their reaction is, "wow, you LIVE here?" We want to share this sense of awe, wonder and magic with you. Even though you will only be here for a short time, the hope is that the experience will stick with you and keep you wanting to come back for more.
What makes this property unique
On Curaçao, there are many small houses on the water that locals call, "weekend houses." The idea is to escape from the grind of every day life and get out to the sea to immerse in nature, but only driving a short distance away. This house is bigger than a typical weekend house, providing you with more space, but it maintains the cozy, comfortable feeling of a weekend house and will provide you with all the conveniences you need while giving you the feeling of escaping it all, providing you the opportunity to be at one with the Caribbean nature.
The elevated deck with pergola is what captures everyone's attention the moment they step outside to see the view. You can chill in one of the hammocks, lounge on the loveseat or sunbathe in a lounge chair. The house also has other seating areas to choose from - dine at an outdoor teak table with fresh bay breezes or have breakfast in our nook if you want to get out of the sun. The nook is also amazing with your favorite drink while BBQing later in the day!
