Nirvana Lodge

We had a group of 8 people. The house had plenty of space for us to hang out together but also allowed for privacy if/when needed. Property managers were very responsive to any issues that arose and to any questions we had. I highly recommend this house for any large groups or families. We will be looking at Nirvana Lodge for future visits to Bonaire.

Truly Nirvana

We stayed at Nirvana Lodge and it was truly perfect! This was a family Christmas trip. We had 4 adults, 5 children ages 9-17. 4 of us are divers. The house was perfect for a large family. We had plenty of room to gather, eat dinner, and play games but each room was private enough we could enjoy some alone time when needed. The location was perfect for diving, the house reef was an easy stair entry off the back and offered a beautiful reef. We saw many eels, turtles, and an octopus in the shallows about 20 feet from the pier! The house had everything we needed to cook, but there are also several great restaurants within walking distance including Bloozz and Windsock Beach Bar. The pool was perfect for the kids to play or the adults to relax with a drink. The rooms all had mini fridges and many of them had beautiful seating areas and balconies overlooking the ocean. We are a coffee loving family and the house had a traditional coffee pot and an Nespresso machine. The managing group Sunwise was amazing, Ellie met us at check in and checkout and was available throughout the trip if we needed anything, but the house was perfect and we didn’t need anything. We love staying on the southside of the island close to our favorite dive sites and an easy drive to town, and this was perfect. Parking was easy, we could pull in front of the house to unload gear and there was ample parking across the street. This was the PERFECT house for a large family, can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved the property. Plenty of room, quiet at night, pool was fantastic. Bedrooms were large with private bathrooms. Aircond worked quickly. Area felt very safe. Close to beaches and restaurants. I recommend Joes’, Eddy’s and Foodies. Pizza at pasa bon delicious, between 2 buns- excellent and B for Bagel too. Rent a truck and explore

Renter beware

First the good stuff: gorgeous infinity pool, nice new kitchen, ac in the living room (which was so important as you will see), close to dining options and airport. Responsive management. Not so good stuff: massive construction next door. We arrived to two jackhammers going at once within 8 feet of the villa. This lasted for two days straight from 7am until 4pm. We could not hear ourselves speak let alone sit outside. We called management and though they could see and hear for themselves how awful it was, they could not do much for us and claimed to not have known about it. For most of the rest of the week, construction was inside the building next door but nonetheless being awakened at 7am to hammering and sawing while on vacation is rather awful. If we had been told this might happen, we could have prepared ourselves or even rented some place else but though we looked, there were no options so late. I strongly urge you to wait 6 months before renting this home. There were other smaller issues with the property-back deck looking over water in disrepair from a storm a few years ago. We were told it would be repaired eventually. Furniture feels tired and older. Chandelier at top of steps not working which makes going up and down at night somewhat treacherous. Fans in bedrooms not functional. Parking is across the street in a parking lot which makes it difficult for divers to get gear loaded in and out and lastly because of the construction, we could not get to dive rinse tank. All in all a disappointment after staying in many wonderful villas on Bonaire in the last 15 years.

Great stay but lock your doors

The house was amazing, plenty of room and the property manager was very accommodating! Very close to dive sites and most nights we dove right off the house dock which is an easy in and out access and be sure to look for the huge eel on the reef. Be sure to looks all the doors in the house, the last night we were there we had packed up most of our stuff and while we were sleeping someone came in through an unlocked door and stole a purse from, the main level with passports, wallets with ID and credit cards, also taken was a backpack with computers/ipads and camera equipment and other equipment we had on the kitchen counter. We called the police and filed a report but getting home without a passport and ID was a challenge. It was a little unnerving knowing someone was in the house while we slept but needless to say it won't keep us away from Bonaire and next time we will be a bit more careful. Great house, just be sure to lock the doors and use the safes they provide in each room!! The house is beautiful with amazing views ALL DAY!

Fabulous house reef!

Great home and outstanding location! Could use a few updates but you can’t beat the million dollar view and the best house reef for diving! Could use a blanket for each bed (as you only get one sheet), a new stove and coffee maker. Needs better integration of inside and outside sound. Great location and beautiful infinity pool! Lovely hosts and look forward to returning.

Amazing, favorite rental ever!

Absolutely gorgeous property. Just pack your scuba/snorkel gear, sunscreen & bug spray- nothing else is needed. House was beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly want or need. Several restaurants in walking distance and plenty within a 10 minute drive. We spent every day in the pool and/or the ocean off the back deck, fantastic snorkeling & diving right off the stairs. Excellent communication with property manager, very quick to respond via WhatsApp. We loved this home and are already planning a return trip.

Book it! This place is wonderful! Everything exactly as pictured and great property management

This was our 3rd trip to Bonaire in the last 5 years. We always book a different vrbo home. With little ones, the pool is a must, as we change throughout the day as to who is diving and who is playing with kids back at the house. KIds on this trip were ages 7, 6, 3, and 3. Nothing appeared to be unsafe or a hazard for our group. Nice to have an outdoor shower and a toilet room in the patio area. Property management was great. Answered questions we had within hours, and anything extra we needed showed up in less than half a day. The plastic blender pitcher cracked during use, we let Cecile know via email and she had a new one delivered in hours,and it had two pitchers, glass and plastic option. We used the glass one (best for frozen cocktails of course), and it worked perfectly. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and even some basic cooking essentials, olive oil, vinegar, etc. this was a delight and a surprise, as we normally don't find that in the homes we've stayed at. Also, plenty of cooking ware, utinsels, pots and pans. we do all breakfasts and most dinners at the house and found everything we needed. For future organizers in terms of who you put in which rooms, the two upstairs ocean view masters are clearly ranked 1 and 2, 3rd and 4th "best/biggest"- upstairs street side and ground street side. The toilets are all pretty tall. We just figured the person who built this amazing home was tall. My husband is 6 foot 3 so he thought it was great! Our 4 year olds girls didn't have an issue using them. The only "could be improved things" I would mention are the dishwasher could use a couple of extra wheels, to help the dish trays slide in nicer (we still made it work and it wasn't something we felt like needed attention while we were there, I'll email the property owner separately to let them know and it will probably get fixed by your stay), and the pier at the house, has some loose posts and erosion to the iron, but this was also not an issue for us. With salt water destination, this should be expected, and most homes don't have this fabulous pier and sit out on the ocean gazebo option... so I recommend you pour a cocktail, and enjoy it, and just look past this imperfection. We still used it as desired and had lots of fun jumping off the pier into the ocean. Stay here! It's worth it. Nirvana Lodge rocks! You won't be disappointed.

Great House!

The house was great and the management team very responsive. The few minor items that needed addressing where handled quickly without issue. The rooms were clean and large. The location was great - very near town and a great reef out the back door (steps down fro the deck). The only items needing improvement would be to add a rinse tank and secure drying area for scuba gear. Hope to return to Bonaire and this house soon!

Amazing house with the world's best backyard

Our group of 8 adults had an amazing time in the fantastic house. Each room was large and quiet with an en suite bathroom and mini kitchen (mini fridge, double cooktop, and sink). But we didn't use our mini kitchens as we spent all our time either in the huge kitchen/family room area that looks out into the "backyard" or on the back patio. While the infinity pool was a great place to just hang out the best place to be had to be down the stairs into the sea. It's not the best snorkel spot as the main part of the reef is in 40+ feet of water (there are more shallow spots elsewhere in Bonaire) but if you dive it's just as good as any other dive site. We did numerous dives off the patio and enjoyed them all. Since it's centrally located it was easy to drive to other dive sites too...plenty of diving north and south of house. When we weren't diving we were eating (and drinking). There are a couple restaurants within walking distance which was great the times we didn't feel like driving (or wanted to drink a bit more than we should if we were also going to drive). We also had several meals in the house. Several grocery stores are about 5 minutes away. The kitchen had the best and largest assortment of pots/pans/spatulas/etc that I've ever seen in a rental. There was also a cabinet with several dozen (yes dozens) glasses. We could have thrown a party for 30 people and had plenty of glasses. The only 2 annoyances were (1) the mosquitoes on the patio...you will definitely need repellent but there's a huge basket of left overs from previous guest. (2) The dishwasher makes an absolutely horrid and loud sound. We only ran it when we were leaving the house. We had some slight issue with the in room safes but Debby was super fast to come handle those. And there was a epic rain storm that tripped one of the circuit breakers which took out the wifi. Again Debby was fast to respond and came and resolved the wifi problem quickly. We couldn't have been more happy with the customer service. We all miss the pool and the 2 iguanas that like to hang out on the dock. We especially miss the 2 parrot fish, angel fish, big red crab, and about 30 other fish that call the rocks at the bottom of the stairs home. It was great to just sit on the dock and watch the fish at the bottom of the stairs. Oh yah, did I mention the sunsets too? Amazing!

A piece of heaven...

We vacationed at Nirvana Lodge with our family...children and grandchildren...10 of us. The bedrooms were awesome, each ensuite with a kitchenette and outside access. Infinity pool was so beautiful and enjoyed by everyone, from parents to grandchildren ages 18 to 3. Go down stairs next to pool and go right into the ocean...swim. snorkel, scuba among beautiful colorful fish. No need to go anywhere else, but we did...Marine National Park, beaches, Jibe City at Luc Bay, windsurfing, land windsurfing, salt flats, scuba sites, Cadushy Distillery and restaurants...best food ever. We cooked in 3 nights so were able to relax and enjoy the villa with its fully equipped kitchen. We loved every moment there and hope to go back in the future.

You can scuba dive directly from this beautiful, updated spacious villa

Nirvana Lodge is beautiful! There are six big bedrooms, each with their own newly remodeled bathroom. The two master suites are huge. We would absolutely book this villa again. It's right on the water very close to the Bachelor dive site. Our family of seven dove directly from the back stairs several times. It's perfect for eight or more people and a group of 10-12 would not feel crowded. Other than diving, our favorite experiences were the meals cooked at home by the chef that the owner and manager recommended. Han from FoodManiacs Bonaire cooked two fabulous five course meals (with wine pairings) while we all relaxed. We also did an amazing barbecue with Han. Those meals were fantastic! It was so lovely to enjoy fabulous food "at home" in our private resort villa. I would highly recommend both Nirvana Lodge and Foodmaniacs Bonaire.

The villa is spacious and patio and pool area are great places to hang out. We had 11 people altogether and it never felt too crowded. The reef is in good condition and you can see all the usual wildlife. Two of our divers encountered a pod of dolphins.

BONAIRE, STILL BEST THE PLACE FOR DIVING!

And now we found the perfect place to stay in. Nirvana Lodge is a beautiful property located directly on the sea with a walk in dive site and snorkel. The outdoor seating area and the infinity pool are great for large groups. All the bedrooms are species and have its own bathroom. It is located minutes from the airport, close to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and all the shore diving you want to do. Our group of 11 had a wonderful time there and will definitely return.
