My husband and I wanted to get away somewhere fun and sunny for a holiday with a couple of old friends, and this elegant, luxurious “Star of the Sea” villa near the High-Rises and Palm Beach sure fit the bill! Stayed in Aruba hotels many times, but with everything going on, wanted a more private experience. Absolutely loved this spacious, charming, well-appointed villa when we arrived - nearby to everything (beaches, restaurants), in a classy, upscale area: off the beaten path, but three-four minutes by car to beaches, shopping, food, etc. House had a splendid, mood-changing, tropical, beachy ambience that gave us the vacation vibe right away! It has a delightful patio under string lights for a cocktail and outdoor dinner in the evenings, where we also soaked in the privacy of our own pool, spread out on the generous couches, chairs and chaises, and listenedto the trade winds in the palm trees. Breeze on the patio was terrific! The best thing about this rental was definitely the large outdoor living space with its ample, comfortable furniture and whimsical decor, but the inside was amazing, too. There were two delightful, palatial en-suite Master Bedrooms (we stayed in one, our friends in the other) in addition to the smaller couple of bedrooms (didn’t even use them). Each room was appealingly decorated with a coastal/beach theme, which created a great “away in a tropical paradise” atmosphere. There were a lot of extras, too: shower toiletries, beach and bath towels, beach chairs, and travel cooler. Juan, the property manager, was friendly and helpful, and met us right away to show us the house and answer our questions. I would highly recommend this lavish, beautiful villa; location is ideal and all its amenities and extras are fantastic.
