Great Stay

The property was just as it was in the pictures, which was quaint and beautiful. All our essentials we needed were there for us. And Rudolph was a great host. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Stay

This quaint property suited my families needs perfectly. The location is in walking distance to great snorkeling beaches, the strand for morning runs, but tucked away from the high rise, low rise hotels and touristy area. The kitchen provided enough essentials for cooking in as well as an area for eating indoors as well as the quaint outdoor patio. If you are looking for location, the basics and a decent price, this is your place!

Aruba vacation

The apartment was clean and tidy. Plenty oftowels, dishes etc. All appliances worked.Dining table and chairs were a tad wobbly. King bed was ok since it has a topper on it. Outdoor chairs need to be replaced. Bag chairs also need replacing. We felt safe. walking to the beach

Aruba fun times

Very nice property very good for younger people we find it a little harder to deal with the stairs. Needs to have a TV down stairs the step down into kitchen needs something to identify the tiles are the same color and is hard to remember. Need to furnish wash cloth in bathroom.otherwise very enjoyable.

Great place to see turtles!

We loved our stay. The cottage is 5 minute drive to the turtle Beach - tres trapi. It's cute and cozy, has a well equipped kitchen, and the owner Rudolfo and manager Omaira were very responsive. For example, Rudolfo installed an outside shower. Shower under the carribian stars. What more could you want? The inside shower could have a bit more pressure

Nice little place

This met our needs, we were just looking for a place to sleep as we had other family down there and spent most of our time with them. Air conditioning worked great, bed is comfortable, could use a little updating but overall it was a great vacation

Home away from home

Really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and central to everything. Rudolf was right, renting a car was crucial. The only thing we purchased was a bathmat for the slippery tiles in the bathroom. In total, it was perfect! Hope to stay here again really soon!! Thank you for making our first trip to Aruba glorious!!

Excellent - Great Location!

Very good communication prior to our trip. The villa is very nice, perfect for our needs. We spend most of our time outside, this was perfect for meals and sleeping. The front patio was nice and we used a little nylon line to hang cloths to dry after rinsing them in the sink. We are hoping to rent this again!!

Close to the best snorkeling on the island

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay. Snorkeling within walking distance was a huge plus, great location. Rudolf was very pleasant and accommodating. I recommend this property.

Cozy and Great Location

Suited our needs perfectly! Loved the coziness of the place and the location was ideal for our snorkeling, sunning, swimming needs. Had all of the necessary amenities, right amount of sleep and hang out space. Away from the high rises, tourist area and walking distance to great beaches. Owner was very responsive to our needs. We will be back!!!

Bad Experience!!!!

I want to begin by saying that I have always given our VRBO homes an excellent rating. Unfortunately, this one was the WORST vacation stay in lodging ever! So here goes... 1. Key pad did not work resulting in us being LOCKED out for over 45 minutes! Called the house manager at least 20 times only to find out that she disconnected her phone while keeping her grandkids. Thankfully, we were able to email the owner, Roudolf, on our phone and then he contacted her. ( We were also unable to leave for 30 minutes due to not being able to lock the door when leaving). 2. The manager promised to have a locksmith come and fix the lock the next day but that NEVER happened. We continued to have issues the entire stay at this home. 3. The safe box DID NOT LOCK which we also brought to the manager's attention. We were promised that it would be fixed as well but NEVER happened.This to say that we did not feel safe leaving our passports and money in this house! 4. The house is VERY run down with many eyesores especially in the bathroom and the patio area. Not sure who took the photos or when they were taken but TOTALLY misrepresented. 5. Hot water only up stairs in the bedroom- No cold water at all. 6. Cold water only in kitchen area- No hot water at all. Overall, BEWARE if you rent this home based on the photos or past reviews. We are not sure how this home received great scores.

Perfect little casita near Malmok beach

500 meters from great snorkeling and a short drive to the major hotels, shops, and restaurants, this is a perfectly secluded hideaway. The directions were simple and clear, with parking out front. The kitchen has everything you need including a cooler and chairs for a picnic at the beach.

Malmok stay in Aruba

A very neat, clean and quiet place out of the way but only a couple minute walk to the bus stop. It has everything anyone would need for a vacation stay. Owner/Manager are exceptional and made every effort to ensure that everything was in good order even checking mid-week of the stay. Would definitely stay here again.
