ON. THE. SEA. Couples only! Check those reviews and videos out!
Cas Cielo - this seaside cottage may be on a cliff but it's also off...the...charts!
Wow...Your beach is right below you...cliff-high, sweet water cocktail pool...Patio, covered deck, cliff side 'meditation' spots, hammocks over the beach, custom sunbeds...And sunsets over the Caribbean 365-sets a year! Nice palapa on the beach!
Surrounded by mother nature...Her waves, rays and breezes, her sights, sounds and textures...Pelicans, herons, egrets, flamingos, trupials, parrots, bananakeets, sparrows, ospreys, frigates - these are your neighbors. SCUBA? Snorkeling? World Class!...People come from all over the world to dive in your backyard.
You ever see the Milky Way belt at night...Over the sea, listening to the waves and feeling the breezes? Yep, that's what I'm talking about. The constellations Orion and Scorpio transversing the night sky? A full moon setting over the Caribbean? Please. Private. Quiet. Natural. Pretty please.
It's the real deal! Our reputation is built on delivering smiles on arrival! Also ensured is a genuine get-back-to-nature experience where you can focus on each other in a very soothing and uniquely gorgeous environment.
The cottage itself is built on simple, efficient outdoor living ideas but comes with over the top amenities.
Folding doors open directly to the bedroom (no tv...You know what to do about that. There will never be a tv but there is fast and free wi-fi) and you can enjoy the surf sounds, breezes and views directly from the king-sized, custom bed. Or, you can enjoy the natural views from the 4-foot porthole window!
The deck is 450ft2 and has a covered dining and lounging area with two areas for sunbeds and an uncovered area with a pair of anti-gravity chairs.. Stepping down from the deck you can go LEFT to the beach (1 minute walk through the bush-bush) or enjoy resting and sipping for a while in the hammock over the beach... You can go diving, snorkeling, floating, sipping, kissing...There are no neighbors going south for about a mile of coastline! But, if you want you can swim to global top-ten Cas Abou beach (about 20 minute slow swim) and grab a sandwich and a beer, maybe a massage and then rent a kayak or paddleboard and go exploring! Enjoy the best outdoor shower on the dushi island-nation of Curacao! Bonbini! B-i-n-g-o - you're on holiday with somebody you love!
OR you can take a RIGHT and hit the fresh water cocktail pool, sun lounge and terraced gardens! That's gets pretty addictive...Head down the path to 2 separate and private cliff side areas for meals, sips and lounging. Take your pick! The sunset over the sea is spectacular and the cliffs changing from gray to gold is complete nonsense! The moon show?! WOW (still reading?)
I suppose you might want to fire up the gas grill at some point for a nice lomito!
Inside the bathroom is just off the bedroom with simple toilet, shower and sink. The outside shower is an artful, natural paradise.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with a big fridge/freezer, 4 burner gas stove-top, drip-coffee maker, toaster, blender, rice cooker, counter-top oven/microwave and all the pots and pans you (or, the chef!) need.
Folks, it's a simple, comfortable place designed with love and attention to detail...In perhaps the best setting on the entire island!
All rates already include everything, no other hidden fees. Just please Think Green on the island! The expectation is to keep the AC and fans off when not in use, thanks!
Included in rent: 24-7 help with anything at all! Bath and beach towels mid-visit quick clean with towel and linen changes for stays of 6-nights+ Beach cooler with ice packs Beach chairs Beach matt Normal water and electric use
NO SURPRISES, just the great service that our reviews and reputation are built on. We want you to have a great trip!

We absolutely loved staying Cas Cielo. The photos and descriptions were spot on. So relaxing, and the uniqueness of the place was an experience itself. If you love nature this is the place: iguanas, lizards, hermit crabs and tons of birds right on the property. Not to mention the great snorkeling right by the house. Don and Angie were fantastic hosts and met us at our arrival. Super responsive and friendly, they have tons of information about the island. We will definitely come back.
This property is beautiful! Private, quiet, clean, and completely relaxing, it is the best place to return after a day of exploring! Don and Angie are wonderful hosts; with prompt responses & excellent recommendations, we definitely recommend booking this vacation spot!
What an amazing place! We wanted to be off the beaten path and we found an island paradise. Don and Angie were both amazing, recommending things and communicating brilliantly. We look forward to going back!
Breath taking views and endless ocean life! If you are looking to truly unplug from the daily grand, then Cas Cielo at Cas Abou is THE place for you. This property had everything we needed to have a quiet, relaxing, romantic week away. By far my best birthday yet! We will definitely be return guests. Thank you for the memories!
Of all the places I stayed over many many years of travel this cottage is the most beautiful, the most serene, the most private. You know that scene at the end of Ocean’s Eleven where the crew is gazing at the fountain outside of the Bellagio and they’re just collectively exhaling and being in the moment? This place is a lot like that, but with a Caribbean backdrop instead of Vegas. Visit it; cook, drink a little too much, get a sunburn, snorkel with the fishies. It might just be the best time of your life.
Pictures and words cannot express just how private and beautiful this property is. Don and Angie are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the island and reapond to any concerns promptly. We will be back again!!
Wow.. wow.. wow!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Don's cottages in Cas Abou. This was the perfect location to stay in Curacao to be able to explore he whole island for the week. We woke up every morning in a comfy bed with spectacular views right from the (optional open air) bedroom. Relaxed on the cliff side patio to enjoy the stars at night. Hung out with super cool wildlife right on the porch (iguanas, smaller lizards, exotic birds, And hermit crabs at night!) They have gorgeous art work, decor, corals, and succulents all over each of their cottages for eye candy. A kick ass plunge pool, outdoor shower and the private access to our own little hidden beach was a mega plus. Everyday we floated around in the cove and used the house gear to snorkel all around the house reef. We swam/snorkeled around the corner to the gorgeous Cas Abou beach and over to Playa Largo exploring some of the coolest and healthiest reefs and fish ever!!!! Besides the kickass accomodations... The highlight of staying with our Super Hosts Don and Angie were that they are the coolest people ever! They were always available via email/Whatsapp, and provided us with a wealth of information and recommendations for living it up in Curacao. This place and our hosts did not disappoint, worth every penny.
This was a fabulous vacation. The property was incredible. We have never seen an ocean so calm and water so clear, and all of it right outside your back door. Very safe, and the people were very nice. We did our Scuba Diving on the reef just beyond the cottage. We spent so much time in the plunge pool just enjoying the ocean view. The stars we saw at night from the pool were mind-blowing. Don was the best, the information packet he gave is the most comprehensive I have seen. Every restaurant he recommended had great food and service. We are already planning our next trip back to Curacao and we will be staying at one of Don's places for sure.
This place is the Heaven on Earth! The pictures and videos shared online do not do it justice! A true gem to reconnect with each other and embrace the unique nature around you.
Don and Angie were exemplary hosts who always responded very quickly and shared any information we needed in great detail. They were very friendly and helpful.
The house is very private, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Everything was as advertised and better than expected. The stunning private beach, heavenly scenery, as well as the close proximity (5 minute drive or so) to Cas Abao - the most beautiful beach we found on the island - makes it an unmatched location.
If you want to have a unique stay which you may not find anywhere else on Earth, do not look further.
We loved our trip to curaçao! There is a million dollar view from the deck of cas cielo which is truly amazing! The short path from the deck to the beach allows for a quick dip in the sea or a prolonged snorkel around the corner to the lovely beach at cas abou. Seaside Don who operates the cottage is very easy to work with, communicates well, and sends very good info regarding island activities while you are there including snorkeling, restaurants, and hiking. The kitchen is well equipped. For food but especially wine I would drive the 25 minutes to the Carrefour as they have just about everything you will need to drink from white burgundies to Rhones to Bordeaux. We also purchased fresh fish on the roadside which was delicious. I would also mention to birdwatchers that it is easy to see lots of wild flamingos in curaçao (most near Jan Kok) but also many bird species right there on the deck of cas cielo. What a great stay! And don’t forget to do a little cliff jumping at westpunt…
Relaxing, private escape right on the waterfront! Amazing nature and beauty all around. Great hosts, Don and Angie, plenty helpful and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at this special property!
The perfect oasis overlooking the pristine waters of Curacao. Our hosts were wonderful, and the space is magical. Outdoor shower, plunge pool, supreme views. Would highly recommend.
The property at Cas Cielo is truly one of a kind. The privacy, charm, and proximity to the ocean and beach are second to none. Don was a fantastic host, alongside Angie. He made himself available to answer questions and provided an extensive curated list of recommendations that included everything from directions and markets, to snorkel hotspots and the best local eateries. The property was extremely comfortable with all the necessary amenities, every kitchen appliance, a quality grill, firm bed, an indoor and outdoor fan, and much more. There were even coolers and beach equipment! You can tell that Don has placed a lot of care into building out this private oasis over the course of his ownership. Would absolutely come back!
We’ve been renting vacation homes for over 15 years, and Casa Cielo is easily one of the most amazing we’ve ever stayed in. I’ll admit, I had a few concerns going in — I wasn’t sure if the house or pool would be big enough, if the pool would be too warm, or if it might feel too far from things to do. But every single worry melted away the moment we arrived.The house is private, peaceful, and thoughtfully laid out. The pool was the perfect size and temperature, and the whole property felt safe and secluded — just what we needed. Don and Angie, the house managers, were kind, helpful, and incredibly responsive throughout our stay.If you're on the fence, don’t be. Casa Cielo is a gem — we’re already dreaming of coming back.

Amazing creative and romantic private dreamland!
Love the outdoor shower and snorkeling off beach and staying on property! No place better! Thank you so much for creating this love nest and back to nature in life:)
We could not have asked for a more perfect place with more gracious hosts to spend a week away celebrating our anniversary. Highlights of the amenities offered at this rental were the airport pickup, rental car, grocery service, rustic natural setting, amazing views, and easy beach and water access via a private path.
My husband and I enjoyed celebrating our honeymoon in this little piece of heaven. The view was always amazing, and the sounds of the waves were relaxing. The local people are very pleasant and the food was fabulous. Thank you, Don & Angie, we look forward to visiting again.
This property is a dream location to stay at with your significant other. Don and Angie are awesome hosts. They had great suggestions for places to eat. The snorkeling right off the community beach was first rate. Lots of fish and coral.
We enjoyed our stay ,
Thanks Don and Angie
A beautiful property with breathtaking views of the ocean in a relaxed, quiet part of the island. Various outdoor porches provide the perfect setting to enjoy a meal and a glass of wine while watching the waves and surrounding wildlife. The property managers are absolute pros - no problem accessing the home and they provided us with a number of useful suggestions. We can't wait to go back!
My husband and I traveled to Curaçao to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful stay at Don's bungalow along the sea. We were in regular communication with Don, our host, which was an added comfort. The place was as expected, secluded, quiet and breathtaking views which included daily sunsets. We enjoyed everything about the property, including the artistic flare, landscaping, pool and friendly iguanas.
Don and Angie have created something truly special here. The cliff top views are breathtaking. The plunge pool was perfect to relax in. The outdoor shower was a nice touch.
Our favorite parts of our stay were taking a hike with Angie and snorkeling to Cas Abao beach! 10/10 would recommend.
