About this property

4 Bed Luxury Villa , Private Pool, Short Walk To Ritz And Marriott Beach !

Hello Travelers...
Our 2000 square foot 4 bedroom 4 bathroom villa features high 14 foot cathedral ceilings with main living area having a open view design.
There is plenty of light with large windows and all glass exterior doors.
The villa sits on a spacious 8000 square foot property at the end of a small cul-de-sac and is just a few minute walk to the Ritz and Marriott beach.
From our front gate to the Marriott/Ritz Carlton Roundabout/circle is 750 meters / 4/10 of a mile... Walkable in about 7-8 minutes.

The outside area features a spaceously sized 350 square foot pool that is 4-5 feet in depth.
There are 2 in water benches that accommodates 4 people comfortably and with steps near by 6 people can enjoy a drink while sitting in the pool.
Surrounding the pool area are a number of lounge chairs for you to enjoy the sun.
The pool is also raised 1 foot above the ground which provides impromptu seating all around the pool.
The pool is surrounded by a spacious 1000+ square foot high end coral patio which your bare feet will greatly appreciate.
Adjoining the coral patio and a step up is another 1000+ square foot Bavarian field stone patio (also bare foot friendly) covering most of the backyard area.

The outdoor design and spaciousness of the property offer our guests several covered areas for gathering:
1. In the back corner behind the pool there is a large tropical styled gazebo area that houses an impressive 20 foot L shaped polished concrete wet bar complete with electric outlets and LED lighting all around under the bar and along the inside of the gazebo. With hotel quality bar stools and grill it's the perfect place for your outdoor dining.
2. Three large tropical styled palapas (think permanent super large beach umbrella with palm leaves) located along the pool area, with two of the palapas under an area of soft grass. Each of the palapas have a built in round/oval shape wood table built in.
3. A 12 x 15 foot pergola attached off the house in the back adjoining the dinning room. It is covered by a heavy duty translucent plexiglass thus allowing light but shielding you from direct sun and rain. It features 2 large strong fans, high end teak couch, chairs, and end tables. Lastly it has a 12 foot polished concrete table at dining room table height attached to the wall. So there is another area for you to sit and dine.

The rest of the property is accessible either on a stamped concrete walkway or our customized stepping stones. To complete the tropical feel there are
150+ plants some amongst the 25+ clay pots. Hopefully the accompanying photos enhance the description.
Our photos are updated regularly and include the month & year it was taken in the caption.

We have our own on call chef. Chef Jon specializes in authentic Aruban cuisine.

We can make vehicle rental reservations for you. Most of the time we are able to get a better price than going through the big name companies.
A majority of our guests have booked the vehicle rentals through us.

There is an additional per night guest fees for more than 6 guests.

This rental was perfect for our 1st Aruba vacation. The owner went above and beyond to help make our trip and stay amazing. The house itself was perfect. Our favorite was the pool and landscape. We had everything we could possibly need at our fingertips. We all felt safe and relaxed in this home. In comparison to US elemental prices, this was a deal! Great location too! Without hesitation, I’d recommend booking.

Property is just like the pictures. Great for large families. It was just me, my two sons and nephew so we had a lot of room. 0.3 miles from the Ritz beach. The beds were comfy. James was so responsive and informative. We’ve never been to Aruba so the info really helped. Had a great time. Would def go back.

We loved our stay at Jim and Tamera's house! It is clean, spacious and close to restaurants and access to the beach! We loved exploring Aruba, but also loved staying home and enjoying the pool and numerous seating areas! Jim and Tamera are the BEST hosts and go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable!

You won’t regret it

An amazing house, close to everything and far enough for privacy. There is construction next door, they start around 6:30am (12/2024) but that would not make me choose elsewhere, house/pool/outdoor space and number of bedrooms made this perfect!

Beautiful home, great location!

This home was perfect for my family. Ideally located and private. Easy access to town, airport and local beaches. Started our day off sitting around the pool with breakfast and ended the night taking a dip. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. Sharing this with friends who plan to go. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful Oasis

We called this our oasis while we were there. Pretty much secluded space by the pool with great foliage and a wonderful pool and palapas. The bar area is also fantastic. Loved it and the whole pool area. The house itself was also perfect for the 6 of us that stayed. No issues or complaints.

Truly a little slice of heaven!

Our family has a long history with VRBO vacays - all good - and this was definitely the best! As enticing as the pictures on the VRBO listing are, the reality was even better! We were a family of 8 - two under 5, 2 sets of parents and the grands. The layout of the house was great! Enough room for socializing with multiple enclaves for quiet ‘getaway’ time. Everything was in tiptop shape with a multitude of really fun pool/beach floaties, tubes, rafts and kid toys! They were all clean and in good shape. Our grill master was very impressed with the condition of the grill which we’ve found is an anomaly in many beach rentals. The communication with Jim was superb! He responded immediately to every inquiry. We definitely had the sense that he genuinely cares about both his home and those staying there! The location is excellent! A very short drive to the Marriott beach and only slightly longer to Arashi and Eagle (our fav) beaches. Book this home now! We have for same time, next year!

One of our best family vacations

Overall this is an awesome property with all you need for a family vacation. The owners were very easy to communicate with and the property is very well maintained. The property manager who let us in was very helpful and any question or issue we may have had was addressed immediately. We rented a car and it was a 2 minute drive to the Marriott. It was an amazingly convenient location. We will be coming back!

Beautiful Aruba

The house was beautiful and the pool amazing. We spent a lot of time in the pool. Once we figured out all of the roundabouts we were able to do some sight seeing. Aruba is amazingly beautiful with lots to see and do. This is the second house I've rented on HomeAway and this is a great way to go for groups. It was definitely was worth it.

Van Brunt Family Aruba Stay

Our family had an amazing time staying at this VRBO! It was as described and accommodated our family of 8 perfectly. We got a lot of use out of the pool, The Tiki Bar, and the shaded areas under the tiki huts. Maria does a great job managing the property and Jim is the perfect host! Great communication. We will be back. Thank you

Great Property for Family Enjoyment

As we entered, we immediately noticed the gorgeous landscaping and amenities, including the beautiful pool. The security of the property was reassuring. Going into the home, we loved the open floor plan. It was very clean and tidy. The home felt spacious yet cozy at the same time. The bedrooms were comfortable and we appreciated the doors separating the sleeping quarters from the living area. As Americans, we missed a full-size oven but were able to use the provided countertop convection. We loved staying in your home, enjoyed our family time immensely, and look forward to the possibility of staying again in the future.

Best Trip Ever

From the time we landed until the time we left our expectations were way over met. Owner Jim is nothing but amazing and welcomed us in his home with open arms like we were family. The yard and and pool were paradise and we spent every morning and evening enjoying every bit of it. The air conditioning works amazing and beds were so comfortable and cozy. Great kitchen space and any dishes, utensils, coolers, pots, pans, etc you may need they had it. We will be going back some day. You won't be disappointed that's for sure!!

Awesome experience!!!!

Great location! House and pool were wonderful. Correspondence with the Jim, the owner, as well as the property manager, Maria, was quick and easy. There was a bountiful supply of all the essentials. (We always travel with our own shampoo, etc....this was not supplied with the house). If I had to find one thing wrong, it would be that the water pressure in the showers could be better.....but that wasn't enough of an issue for us to complain about. I can say with confidence that even the pickiest of travels will be happy with this place :)

Birthday vacation

What a beautiful home this was. There is nothing lacking as far as kitchen and amenities. The pool/ backyard area is spectacular if you don’t want the beach. If you do want the beach… chairs and toys and coolers all on property for use. The owner was extremely easy and attentive to anything I asked from day one. I always read reviews on rentals because pictures certainly can be edited. This was prettier than it shows and all reviews are accurate. I would rent this again in the future. I would like to add that a car is needed if you would like to explore as we did do that. We preferred Eagle beach versus the closest hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jim & Tamara

Host profile image
My wife and I have traveled to Mexico and the Caribbean for many years. Aruba was on our bucket list for quite a long time and we finally got there in the winter of 2016. While enjoying our stay the people we were renting from told us about this property. When we went to see the property my wife pointed her finger ;) and told me that she wanted it... Well you know how the saying goes ... We purchased it in the summer of 2016 and I spent the good part of a year there designing and remodeling it. This will eventually be our retirement place so many of the decisions made along the way in designing and remodeling had quality in mind. So until we get to the point where we retire we hope those of you choosing to stay with us enjoy what we have to offer.

Why they chose this property

Noord and the Bakval corridor is highly desirable as it has quick/easy access to Palm, Malmok, Eagle, Boca Catalina, and Arashi Beaches. We are a very short walking distance from the highly rated Oak Restaurant.
My wife and I travel to Aruba 2-3 times a year and we are always doing upgrades and making improvements each time we are there.
We very much care that your stay in Aruba and at our place will be an enjoyable and memorable experience.

What makes this property unique

We offer 3 distinct areas where you can sit and enjoy the shade. Near the pool is 3 large palapas, at the back of property is a very large gazebo housing the bar and grill area, and off the back of the dining room and attached to the house is a covered pergola with translucent roof, 2 fans, and 12+ foot polished concrete table fashioned like the concrete bar under the gazebo. Of course, there is plenty of space for those who worship the sun :).
The other distinct feature that separates our property from almost any other property is the vast amount and variety of plants, trees, bushes which gives the property a resort vibe.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
