Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is beautiful and so nice! The amenities (e.g. pool and clubhouse) are also great! Everything was clean and ready. Only problem we had was the oven did not work when we initially trying to cook food. Maintenance did go, but it wouldn’t be able to be fixed until after our stay. However, it fortunately worked for a bit, and we were able to cook our food. Nonetheless, this was a great stay! ##### A guest from Arlington, TX ### 6/10 Okay #### Melissa G. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was beautiful. Close to the beach and the pool area is really nice. The bedrooms were really nice and the beds were comfortable. I would have given it five stars, but I did not receive my access code until 4:30 pm on the day we were checking in and I had to call and request it.I would also like to make a suggestion for the kitchen area. There was not a can opener available, and I had a couple dinners planned that used cans, the cooking pots did not have the matching tops so I had to use a baking sheet pan to cover the pot. I also think having colander to drain pasta would be a good idea. There were two dish towels to dry dishes, which was nice, but there were not any dish rags to clean the countertop surfaces. The shower on the bottom level only released a small amount of water which made it unusable. Overall a great time and the property is beautiful. It just would’ve been really nice to have those little extras in the kitchen. ##### Melissa G.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was okay it was super clean. However it does not fit 12 people as noted so a few of us were out of the bed. There were also a couple really loud parties until about 2:00 in the morning but security did finally shut them down. It was really nice to be able to stay right by the water like that. More than anything we were just disappointed that every adult didn't have a place to sleep as listed. The top bunk will only hold one small child even though it's listed as a full size bed. When I alerted them about the problems with not having enough beds they kind of just brushed it off and didn't even offer me a partial refund. ##### Michelle N.

Feels spacious. Well insulated. We had loud neighbors on the patio but you couldn't hear them too much with the doors closed. There were a couple of small things I didn't like - the pots and pans were terrible to cook with and the prep knives were terrible. Some guests took over the pool with loud music which I thought was inconsiderate and I wish the property managers had said something or maybe that they would post a rule about bringing loud music to the pool. But aside from that we all enjoyed our stay. ##### Veronica J.

Reviewer Comments: Well the unit was very nice and clean. Not a whole lot of utensils to cook with. There were plenty of roaches'. killed about 30 of them. Not happy about that. Very quiet, except for the pool part. Other people from other complexes came and used the pool. No one wore the bracelets that were in the condos to excess the pool. There should be stricter rules enforced for that area. All in all we would rent again. ##### Patty A.

Reviewer Comments: The place is very cute. The back of the house faces the water and a great spot to fish. We even saw dolphins from the back porch. The unit is right next to the pool which made it very convenient since we had young kids. The kids and adults had fun on the water slides ##### Elizabeth T.

Reviewer Comments: Aruba Bay is a fun place, especially with kids, the pool/slide area is a lot of fun for them. We stayed in a canal side unit with direct access to the pier and we had a lot of fun fishing. The unit itself was very spacious and had 3 full bathrooms, which was great for our family of 5. We would definitely stay in this unit again! ##### Jennifer B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phoebe K. 12 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing beach escape We had an excellent and relaxing stay at the Fair Winds. The community is quiet and relaxing, with excellent amenities in the Yacht club (fitness center, games, pool with TWO slides) and activities at night for the kids. A personal dock on the back for boats with amazing views of the sunset in the evenings. Close to the beach, walking distance if you're willing to walk 10 - 15 min or so, or a 3 minute drive. Townhouse is well furnished and clean. My kids are already asking when we can go back! We would happily stay here again in the future! ##### Phoebe K.

Would like to make several recommendations for the property, update the amenities to include a Keurig, we bought a filter and coffee grounds anticipating a regular coffee maker as listed. Would also find having wine opener, wine glasses, cheese grater and hangers helpful. Thanks again!! ##### Doreen H.
