About this property

Steps away from the ocean and Aruba's best snorkeling beach!

Arashi Sunsets Villa rental is situated in the prestigious residential neighborhood of Malmok, a short three-minute walk to Arashi Beach.
We recently painted the house inside and outside with new refreshing colors, new bedding and mattresses, new family room furniture, new cookware, resurfaced pool, solar panels to be more environmentally friendly.

This beautiful 2 story, air-conditioned, 3500 sq. ft. villa features 5 bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, a large family and living room, stainless kitchen appliances, laundry room and outdoor covered patio with a stainless steel 4 burner barbecue. The beautiful in-ground pool and patio area is perfect for entertaining with family and friends, as well as outdoor dining and grilling.

The house sleeps 10 adults comfortably in its three lower and two upper suites. The villa is located a short 5-minute drive to the Tierra Del Sol Resort & Country Golf Club for a round of golf and lunch or dinner. The golf course is a world-class, 18 hole course which hosts pro tour events during the year.

Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen:

The front entrance leads into a large living and dining room with high vaulted ceilings and an open atmosphere. French doors open onto the covered porch, patio and pool. The spacious, modern kitchen is complete with electric range and oven, microwave, granite counters and island breakfast bar. The entire first floor is beautifully tiled and serves as an excellent gathering place for family and friends. A separate laundry room with washer and drier is available as an additional convenience.

Master Suite & Balcony:

The luxurious roomy second floor master suite has a king bed, en-suite bath, and vaulted ceilings. Its sliding glass doors open to a large covered balcony which overlooks the ocean in one direction and the pool/yard in the other.

A second upstairs bedroom with en-suite bath and queen bed is separated by a wet bar.

First Floor Bedrooms & Baths:

Off the hallway behind the kitchen are three bedrooms with en-suite baths, so each guest has total privacy. The first floor master bedroom has a king-sized bed and is located at the end of the hallway. The middle bedroom has a queen bed and the fifth bedroom has a queen bed. Each bedroom includes an en-suite private tiled bathroom.

The Malmok & Arashi Beach Area:

Our home is located a short 200 steps around the corner to Boca Catalina Beach; a small, secluded beach excellent for sunbathing and considered the best snorkeling area in Aruba. Malmok is the "Gold Coast" area of Aruba and consists of private year-round residential homes and villas.

Fantastic Rental!
As 8 adults, we could not have chosen a better house, location, and host.  Anneke was prompt and courteous in all her responses throughout the booking process and our stay.  The bedrooms are spacious, and the living/common area gives everyone enough room to move around freely without feeling closed in.  Large pool and outdoor gathering area, we utilized this space quite often and enjoyed every minute.  The house is perfectly situated for walking to some of the best snorkeling spots in Aruba.  We visit Aruba often, and this is one of the best experiences we have had from booking to completing our stay.

Paradise
Absolutely perfect week! The house was exactly what our group of 7 needed to make the most of our Aruba vacation. Short walk to Arashi and steps away from a wonderful place to snorkel. Our family enjoyed hanging out by the pool and playing games at the large table with room for everyone to gather. Very close to everything!

Fantastic Place to stay
We had a perfect experience in Aruba staying at this beautiful house. From booking to arrival, all throughout our stay and our final goodbyes, everything was perfect. Anneke and her daughter Marrit made us feel so welcome and even gave us excellent suggestions for snorkeling and places to eat. A delight from beginning to end. Will definitely recommend.

One of the best family vacations!
This was one of the best family vacations we have experienced! My wife and 3 girls (21-26), along with their significant others spent 10 days at this fantastic property! The property was clean and had more than enough room for the group. The two refrigerators made keeping adult beverages cold 😂. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils. My wife was able to cook 4 nights without any issue. The washer and dryer also worked very well. The only thing they may consider is to update the furniture on the master bed patio. The walk to the snorkel beach (Boca) is about a 4 min walk. The property has some snorkel gear but it’s a tad tattered. If you want to do some more serious snorkeling I would suggest renting some equipment. Arashi is about a 7 min walk. Get there early (7-8am) to get a tiki hut (free ). The property has tons of sand chairs that are in great condition. We rented two mountain bikes for a few days. We took a fantastic ride out past Arashi to the other side of the lighthouse. It was unbelievable! Having 8 adults we went through a ton of food. The grocery stores are pretty user friendly. Superfoods is good for your big shopping and there are some smaller ones that are closer. We found what we spend for a usual 10 day vacation wasn’t much different. Obviously the American branded product is considerably more expensive. Aneke and Marrit gave us great place to eat Great place !!

A snorkeling paradise!
House was great. Everything you need. Lovely pool and great gathering areas. Host is very friendly and accommodating. Around the corner by the bend in the road is a tiny beach with the best snorkeling on the island. Go out early (we went out 7:00am every morning) and saw tons of beautiful fish, green sea turtles, eels, eagle ray and a barracuda! Just up the road is Arashi beach which is a great beach for swimming and has a little beach hut for lunch and drinks. Hope to return to Aruba and would definitely rent this house again.

Absolute FABULOUS Aruba Rental!
Our group of 8 friends has been traveling together for 9 years. This is the best rental that we have ever stayed in. It was exactly as pictured. Five bedrooms with a private ensuite bathroom for each. The primary bedroom upstairs has a beautiful balcony overlooking the inground pool. The place was spotless. We had plenty of dishes, pots, pans, drip coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc. Lots of towels in each bathroom. Plenty of pool toys, beach chairs, large bags (for buying groceries). There is quite a collection of sunscreen in one of the cabinets on the back side of the bar. We stopped at the store on the way and bought sunscreen---but, you don't need to. Anneke (the host) was so attentive and quick to respond with any questions we had. It is a short 1/3 mile walk to Arashi Beach--you can rent umbrellas/chairs (if you want shade) and Arashi Beach Shack has good beach food, cocktails, beer, etc. Boca Catalina beach is even closer than Arashi Beach, but Arashi is bigger, so we preferred that one. California Lighthouse is 1.5 miles north. This location is preferable to us....we like being in a 100% residential area. The hotel zone is only a couple miles south with so many restaurants to choose from. Airport is 22 miles away. We always rent a car when we come to Aruba. We will definitely be back to Arashi Sunsets Villa!

The house was clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had a small problem with one shower and it was fixed in a short period of time Marrit, the property manager, was very helpful. It was unseasonably hot and the air conditioning worked well. The pool was clean and well maintained but be warned the pool has no shade. We would be happy to return

Amazing Stay
From the initial booking, Anneke and Marrit were incredible to work with. Marrit stopped by and visited the first day we were there to give us some island tips and restaurant recommendations. Anneke stopped by on our last day to say hello - what lovely women! The outdoor area of the home was clean and beautifully landscaped. The pool was cleaned twice while we were there. Beach chairs, towels, snorkels were all provided. We used the grill twice with no issues at all. The constant breeze of the island made the 90+ temperatures more than tolerable. The interior of the house was clean. Each bedroom had its own air conditioner, as well as an air conditioner in the main living space. The kitchen was well equipped for anything we needed. The beverage fridge helped save space in the main fridge. The guys in our group enjoyed the originial Nintendo game system! Each bedroom had an en-suite full bathroom which was a lifesaver when traveling with 5 couples! Bath and bed linens were provided. The washer and dryer were a great touch for us to wash our beach towels during the week. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the showers was excellent. Within walking distance was Boca Cantina - an incredible beach with amazing sunset views. Early morning snorkeling let us see some very beautiful sea turtles! Arashi Beach and the beach shack were a few minute walk - great place for lunch and drinks! We would book this house again in a heartbeat - not a single issue whatsoever!
