Fabulous villa

Our stay at this incredible Aruba home was absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable—close to all the best beaches, restaurants, and attractions, yet peaceful and private for total relaxation. The house was spotless when we arrived, and it’s clear the owners take great care in keeping it in top condition.The spacious layout gave us plenty of room to spread out, especially around the pool area, which was perfect for lounging and enjoying the beautiful weather. The check-in process was smooth and effortless, allowing us to settle in and start our vacation without any stress.From the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable, cozy bedrooms, every detail was thoughtfully designed to make us feel right at home. We can’t recommend this property highly enough and will definitely be returning for our next Aruba getaway!

Great place, great location

House was clean and well stocked. Room descriptions were accurate. There was 7 or 8 beach chairs, a few masks/snorkles, some fins and several coolers available for use. Pool was a great feature to jump in for a quick cool down. Carlito was the local point of contact and was very responsive to any questions or requests. Highly recommended if you are looking to visit the island.

Amazing Snorkeling

The property was perfect for our vacation. We walked to snorkel and saw tons of sea life including puffer fish, turtles and several different fish. It was beautiful. California lighthouse is very close and several shops and restaurants are just a short drive away. The pool and outside areas were wonderful to just relax and enjoy the warm weather. The house itself is spacious and has most everything you need.

Best Snorkeling

Quick walk to Tres Trapi and Boca Catalina, we walked with our snorkel gear daily. Very popular snorkeling spot, especially for green turtles. Not close to many shops or restaurants (quiet) so it will be a trek if you want to eat out or shop. Place is older/needs update but was clean, free of sand, and plenty large enough for our party of 5.

Great time with Friends

There were 3 couples that stayed at the home. We had a great vacation. The home was a good home base. We enjoyed walking to Tres Trapi and snorkeling with the turtles. We explored most all of the island. The beach chairs and towels are appreciated. We also spent some time in the pool.

Perfect Aruba family trip, location, home! Skip the hotels!

My wife and I, (early 40's), and twin 10 year old boys had a perfect trip to Aruba staying here. We have never done a VRBO outside of the US, so I was nervous, but after all the research I did about Aruba and looking into the area where this home is located, we decided to go for it... and we could not have been happier. This was the first we'd been to Aruba, and with the prices of all the hotels I decided to look into VRBO and a car rental, and this was absolutely the way to go. For the same price, or less, of the high end hotels we got a gorgeous, spacious home with full kitchen, pool, grill and gorgeous outdoor space. It was only four of us, so the home size was a little overkill for our needs, but this was the type of location we wanted: very quiet, residential, walking distance to QUIET beaches, and the best snorkeling on the island. I seriously cannot say enough about the location. I would say another family of 4, 2A+2C, would have fit comfortably with us. The air conditioning was perfect - you need it in Aruba! The kitchen and outside Weber grill were great: we ate at the house more than we expected because the butcher at Super Foods was so good. The owners were always available, and there is a local contact in case we needed anything, but we didn't. Absolutely recommend and we would stay here again.

Lovely home in a great location!

The home was lovely. Lots of space for the six of us. The pool was clean and a perfect temperature to relax in. Large kitchen and dining area worked out very well. The location … especially if you enjoy snorkeling … was wonderful. So many great spots within walking distance! Just a short drive to so many wonderful restaurants and grocery stores were easy to find. We’re from the US and while we love Aruba & try to visit often this was our first VRBO experience there.. It worked out really well and we wouldn’t hesitate renting this home again.

Wonderful!!!!!

It was a wonderful home, the pool was great, the house was clean and decorated beautifully. We were within a short walking distance to the beach, and a little longer walk to the lighthouse. We rented a car and drove all over the island, it was an absolutely great experience. The people in Aruba were very friendly and you could get anywhere in a short time. They had live music in Palm Beach every night. The owners were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this house to anyone. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their home.

Great week in Aruba

The house was well equipped: Kitchen, beach towels and chairs. etc. Great location for the beach. Excellent outdoor setup: pool, tables to eat, chairs, etc. House should be posted as a two and half bathrooms. The third bathroom shower doesn't not get warm water. We shared with two other couples worked out fine, would have been a little tough with four total couples and only two working showers

Family Vacation

Location and house were absolutely spectacular! My husband and I are familiar with the island, but was a first time trip for my parents and adult children and they now know why we keep coming back! House very spacious and pool area stunning with lots of places to relax outdoors. There is a clothesline in back which was an extra bonus. Lots of pool/beach items, but some pretty worn out. Lots of dishes/glasses, but as far as pots/pans to cook with--we were struggling as choices were minimal and quite worn that we didn't want to cook on. No cookie sheets at all, but LOTS of serving platters and accessories. The only other downfall was the water pressure was minimal (which is at a lot of places on the island), but the water temp was only luke warm for showers. Not a deal breaker, but just be aware. Carlitos was very friendly upon check in/out (fortunately didn't need to contact him during our stay). And John/Vilma were wonderful to interact with and quite responsive. Thank you sooo much for sharing your home in paradise with us! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others! Until next time :)

About the host

Hosted by John & Vilma

Host profile image
Hello Guest! We are a family from Boston Massachusetts. We have been coming to Aruba since 1988. Fell in love with the Island, weather and the friendly people. After many years of staying at hotels and renting other homes we felt it was time to purchase a home for our family. There was no other island that could compare! When we saw this house and realized how close it is to the beaches, we were SOLD! Boca Catalina and tres Trapi was only a 2 minute walk ... We would be able to grab our towels and go! Aruba is special to our whole family - even our daughter chose to get married in Aruba! We hope you love it as much as we do! Bon- Bini, Bienvenido, Welcome to Aruba!

Why they chose this property

The Location could not be beat! The space and luxurious living the home offers was also a bonus.

What makes this property unique

The large pool, the amazing outdoor space, beautifully manicured gardens and grounds and proximity to beaches, restaurants, shopping and more...
