• Air conditioning is provided in all bedrooms for your comfort.

Outdoor Space & Pools:
• Private Deck: The apartment features a spacious deck with sunbeds and a large dining table. Situated higher than the road and surrounded by lush landscaping, it offers a great deal of privacy and beautiful sea views.
• Communal Pool: A shared pool is just steps away from the apartment, providing easy access for a refreshing swim while ensuring privacy as it is shared among only 12 apartments.
• Papagayo Beach Hotel Pools: A larger pool, as well as sun loungers, are available at the Papagayo Beach Hotel, located just a 5-6 minute walk from the apartment. This is for the use of guests from both Boca Gentil Resort and Papagayo Beach Hotel at no additional cost.
• Children’s Pool: A walk-in saltwater pool, ideal for children, is located right on the beach just beyond the Papagayo Beach Hotel pool, with a small charge for sunbed rentals.

Beach & Activities:
• Jan Thiel Beach: The nearest beach, just a 5-6 minute walk away, is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
• Dining & Shopping: The beach area features a range of restaurants, from the affordable Zanzibar to more upscale options. You’ll also find a grocery store, dive shops, car rental agencies, a spa, and a casino along the beach. The laid-back Brisa Do Mar (Pop’s Place) offers delicious local fish dishes on nearby Caracasbaai Beach.

History lovers will enjoy visiting Fort Beekenburg and the Quarantine Building, dating back to the 1700s and 1800s.

Additional Amenities & Information:
• Utilities & Rates: Rates include all water usage and up to 40 kWh of electricity per day. Most guests do not exceed this limit if air conditioning is used responsibly, and not left on day and night.
• Parking: A dedicated parking spot (#2) is available in the Bayside parking lot. You can also park on the street in front of the property, but be sure not to block traffic.
• Safety Tip: If you plan on swimming in the ocean, it’s recommended to wear water shoes as rocks, coral, and sea urchins can pose a risk depending on where you enter the water.

Local Tips:
• Grocery Stores: Van Den Tweel, an Albert Heijn store, is just a 5-6 minute walk away, but if you have a car, the Vreugdenhil store offers better prices and is a 10-minute drive away.
• Mosquito Repellant: It’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellant, especially during certain seasons.
• Electricity Adaptors/Converters: The apartment uses 220V with European-style plugs (2 round prongs). If you’re coming from North America, you may need an adapter or voltage converter. Most phone chargers are dual-voltage (110V and 220V) and only require an adapter, but it’s good to check the specifications on your chargers. A converter and a 110V power strip are available in the living room.

We look forward to welcoming you to TaBode of Dreams!

This is a beautiful property but very poorly maintained

They knew about a broken window two of them.as a matter fact, prior to our arrival. Also, this place is only air conditioned in the bedrooms, not in any other part of the house, and it is very hot. So you are responsible if you go over a certain energy limit and with Broken windows that meant we had to turn off all air every time we left. Also no dryer when things are so humid! Only a washer. Bring your own detergent. Very lightly equipped kitchen. Nothing extra.

Stunning Location!

The pictures don't do this fantastic location justice. The apartment is on the first floor, absolutely gorgeous with spectacular ocean views. The apartment is well-appointed, with all the amenities you may need while on vacation. It's also within walking distance of many fabulous restaurants and activities. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful location, safe, great communication.

The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. I felt very safe there. Fun to see the wildlife in and out including birds and geckos. Boats coming and going from the island. We had everything we needed to make all our food there. We would recommend the grocery store about 10 mins away for better prices than the local one but nonetheless it was very convenient having one within walking distance.

Awesome Winter Get-Away

We rented this property with my children's Dutch Oma so we could spend a week together. The weather was perfect, the unit was nicely sized so that we did not feel cramped and there was plenty to do with in walking distance. I felt safe letting my teens explore on their own. Everyone was extremely friendly and the food and drinks at the nearby restaurants were delicious.

A large, roomy condo with a fantastic ocean view

The spacious home is in a quiet part of a gated community. Beach clubs, bars, restaurants and a great supermarket were all in short walking distance. The house has plenty of kitchenware and gadgets along with a grill outside. The air-conditioning was almost never needed as the cross breeze through the house is amazing. We would be excited to stay again. The place was as described but the photos do it no justice! It was everything we hoped for.

Dushi house!!Loved it!!! More amazing than the photos!

We absolutely loved this home! So comfortable and extremely relaxed. Walked to the beach everyday and grocery store. Monde was so nice and helpful when we arrived. She guided us to the house as we were lost coming from the airport. Only need the AC at night, so don’t let that detour you from staying at this home. We will be back for sure!

Safe peaceful beautiful

The area is an oasis . Fabulous restaurants everywhere .beautiful beaches . Renting a car is essential as public transit is inconsistant . Suggest you meet Jaanchie at Westpunt for a warm welcome and a unique meal . Our Boca Gentil Appartment was spacious and well equipped but kitchen and master bathroom badly need more air circulation. We stayed for a month and know are way around this maze of roads fairly well . We always felt very safe here . We will be back .

Lovley place!

We had a great time in Jan Thiel and staying at Boca Gentil. Everything was clean and organized, with environmentally friendly features. like recycling, using filtered ocean water. They also had a mosquito trap built in on the deck. Supermarket is in with walking distance with reasonable prices, and bus stop outside the gated community. Our own pool and lounge chars at the beach. The restaurants was very good, with a very well rounded options, plus take out pizza and sushi places. A marina where you can take boat tours from and bus tours comes right to your property, and a rental car agency. we will defiantly come back and stay at this property, check in and check out was very smooth and we could stay until 1pm on check out since we had a late flight. Beds was very comfy, the kitchen had everything you needed.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at this villa was nearly perfect! I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars if possible. The house was quite comfortable. We loved the open air concept, and the breeze blowing through made the AC units unnecessary! We walked to the gym and grocery store every morning and then down to the beach in the afternoons. Jan Thiel Beach was beautiful and not crowded at all which was a concern. The only things that would have made the house absolutely perfect, were more updated bathrooms and a clothes dryer. Although it sounds as if dryers are not available in many homes due to the cost of electricity. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Curacao

Great Property & Area!

I recently stayed at Berge & Yohanna's property for a week with 4 of my close friends. The property is as lovely as it looks from the photos! It has a beautiful view and there is easy and quick access to the main pathway and swimming pool. When we arrived at the airport, 3 of us took a taxi to the property and split the cost of $50 USD. Two other friends who traveled from other areas however signed up for round trip shuttle service beforehand and it saved them from having to take a cab and paying by themselves. The cab driver graciously let us use his mobile to contact Nynke, the property manager, to inform her we had arrived and to meet us at the property. She arrived just a minute or two after us and was great about walking us through the property, answering questions and explaining further details. The living room sliding doors when opened created a beautiful view and allowed fresh air into the property while we were home. We did not utilize the air conditioning during the day...only at night while we slept. The beds were comfortable, each came equipped with mosquito netting, and both the shower pressure and temperature was good. The pantry had a washing machine, pool accessories and there were beach towels/passes provided for each guest. We did not rent a car during our stay. At the beginning of the gate entrance (which is approximately a 10 minute walk) there is a market that had everything we needed for the kitchen/property. A few minutes walk past the market was a small variety of restaurants to choose from and the Jan Thiel beach. Also, not far from the gate (few minutes walk) is the bus stop. We took advantage of the bus several times...to take us to Punda/Willemstad and also to the Mambo Beach area. However, if you choose to rent a car while there, just around the corner from the market is a car rental company. We had a phenomenal trip: the island, area and property were all to our liking! Also, before our trip I contacted Berge several times with numerous questions and he promptly replied and answered each time! We hope to return someday!!
