Arrival at the property set the tone for our week. Forget about getting in touch with your agent, Anneke. She did not answer her phone for several hours while we baked outside awaiting keys to enter the house. The maid had not yet cleaned up from the previous leaser, and informed us that she was told we were arriving the following day.
The roof leaked in 3-4 rooms, and the kid’s fell a few times on the slippery wet tiles. Our luggage did get soaked.
Did you know boa constrictors are an invasive species in Aruba? One died in a bush in front of the home and it wreaked of death for the rest of the stay. We tried several modalities to contact Anneke, for some help, and she ignored my emails, texts, and calls.
The house, albeit a bit dated, was nice enough. Clean furniture, nice pool, good location otherwise. Mattresses a bit firm. I think we overpaid.
On a brighter note, the power did go out one night, and the supplied board games did allow for an escape. Glad I brought a battery operated lantern.
