Beautiful Desert Island Oasis

This place was incredible! It has a beautiful outdoor space with immaculate xeriscaping, a wonderful pool and palapa, as well as a large sitting area, dining table and BBQ with all equipment! The inside is very spacious and clean and the owners provided coolers, beach chairs, and umbrella! Renee even let us use snorkeling gear and offered to take us snorkeling! There are amazing beaches close by! Kitty and Renee were very welcoming and hospitable!

Aruba Fun

The property was very picturesque. The outdoor landscaping was beautiful, plenty of sitting areas outdoors that were clean and well maintained. The pool area was lovely and very welcomed after a hot day at the beach. We really enjoyed the palapa with its large shaded space to lounge in. The home was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. We felt very comfortable there. Our hosts Kitty and Renee were very gracious and so helpful with information on what to see, where to eat and beach locations. It was nice to know that Kitty was always available for a question to provide us guidance of island nuances. We really enjoyed chatting with her and she is definitely a wonderful host. We would absolutely come back for another visit, as we found her space so relaxing and welcoming.

Mooiste vakantie huis van Aruba

Kitty & Rene staan van de eerste dag met boeken tot na de laatste vakantiedag voor je klaar. Ze hebben een hele mooie diepe tuin met privé zwembad en leuke zitjes om te relaxen Het huisje heeft twee hele mooie ruime slaapkamers met goede airconditioning en een ruime keuken met alle benodigde om een eigen maaltijd te maken Binnen 10 minuten ben je bij de mooiste stranden om in zee te zwemmen, supermarket om alles te krijgen en hele goede restaurants als je uit eten gaat. ‘s morgens vroeg is het zeker een aanrader, om op een paar minuten afstand in de omgeving van Alto Vista Chapel de zon op zien komen en een gezonde wandeling te maken langs de kustlijn.

Casa Alto Vista is wonderful!

My husband and I stayed here for our sixth trip to Aruba, and we had our best time yet. Casa Alto Vista is exactly as advertised with a private pool and beautiful garden, a full kitchen, and comfortable beds. Kitty and René were wonderful hosts. They are on site and promptly responded to questions (including helping us when our rental car did not start one morning), and they also leave you to yourself to enjoy the privacy of the house. The location is incredible. On previous trips, we stayed at Eagle Beach and Baby Beach. In Alto Vista, you are close to the north shore, grocery stores, and delicious restaurants in Noord. It is a short drive to Eagle and Palm Beaches. We loved Boca Catalina for snorkeling and Arashi Beach for a day of relaxing in the sea. The only thing that surprised us were the mosquitos in the interior of the island. We had stayed seaside previously, so the breezes kept them away. We picked up some insect repellent at the pharmacy and used a fan to help deter them. That worked well. We will stay here again!

Idyllic Setting - Already booked our next visit

We had a lovely weeklong stay at Casa Alto Vista at Sabana Liber. This property checks all the boxes for a perfect island getaway. The amenities are exactly as described, and we found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is just far enough away from of Palm Beach that you get a true feel for life on the island, but the beach and all the action is just a 5–10-minute drive away. Kitty and Rene were great hosts. They were easily accessible when we had questions but also gave us the privacy we desired. The garden and pool area are beautiful and completely private. We enjoyed watching the birds, butterflies and small iguanas throughout the day. The bedrooms are large and the bed we used was extremely comfortable. In fact, we slept great every night. The kitchen and living area are very spacious and fully equipped if you want to cook or just kick back and watch a little Netflix in the evening. We spent our mornings exploring the coasts and then retreated to the shaded palapa beside the pool to relax and enjoy the afternoon breeze. The pool is just perfect the perfect size and temperature for cooling off any time of the day. It is fully shaded in the early morning and again in the late afternoon. We were so happy with our stay that we booked again for next year after we had only been there for a few days. We highly recommend this property.

Lovely House and Garden

We very much enjoyed staying on this property. The back garden is just wonderful. Loved having my morning coffee or evening glass of wine while listening to the birds and adoring the flowers. We used the pool and palapa every day. Cooking here was easy, the kitchen has everything you would need. Grill is awesome. Sleeping accomodations were also great- roomy & comfortable. Best of all though are the hosts who are at the ready for whatever you may need. Friendly, easy to talk to and contact. We highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful stay

Everything was just perfect. Very friendly hosts, away from the tourist crowds and an amazingly well designed and maintained property. I loved the garden, the palapa and the pool, all this in Kaktus fringed surrounding. The terrace was perfect as well, you are protected from the sun and the rain. You can use beach chairs and a cooler box, make use of it at Eagle Beach! Comfortable bed and air-con in the room. Well stocked kitchen, TV with Netflix (but we didn’t use it). It was overall amazing and highly recommended! Kitty gave us a lot of tips and she has also provided a useful book with even more useful information. Do yourself a favour and stay here, at least a couple of days.

Amazing and unforgettable stay

Kitty and Rene are amazing hosts, the property is very comfortable, modern and clean. Kids loved having our own pool- we loved the flexibility of swimming after dark which you can't get at a resort. The garden where the pool is located is beautiful. Short drive away from beaches (Palm), Superfoods, and Alta Vista. Looking forward to coming back this year!

Beautiful property & garden, great host

We stayed for 14 nights in March with our two boys -- and loved every minute of it. The property and garden are beautiful. Kitty was a super-host, and gave us many great recommendation regarding restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Our boys loved the pool, and their parents the shaded seating area next to it. All kitchen appliances, ACs and internet connection worked excellent. The property is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood (within 10 minutes by car from Oranjestad, beaches and restaurants; closest local supermarkets are just 2 minutes away). We made good use of the complimentary beach chairs and towels -- would love to visit again in the future.
