Our annual girls trip to Aruba was nothing short of spectacular, and Shiribana exceeded all expectations. From the moment we reached out about our early arrival at 11am, the hospitality was evident. Despite the standard check-in time being 4pm, the owner graciously accommodated us for a 3pm check-in, a much-needed relief after starting our journey at 3am that morning. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Wouter, the property manager, who went above and beyond to familiarize us with every aspect of the house. His assistance was invaluable, ensuring our stay got off to a smooth start. Although we encountered a minor hiccup with a power outage the following morning, Wouter's swift response was exemplary. With just one call, he promptly investigated the issue, discovering downed power lines in the area. Thanks to his quick action, power was restored within a mere five minutes, allowing us to continue our adventures without disruption. Throughout our stay, we explored many of the recommended spots outlined in the house guide. While some were definite winners, such as Gusto's for a night of unforgettable clubbing, others fell short of expectations. "Driftwood," despite its glowing reviews, left us underwhelmed, particularly in regard to its seafood offerings. However, amidst our explorations, we stumbled upon the true gem of our trip: the Quadriki caves. Guided by the knowledgeable park ranger, Carlos Medona, we were treated to a mesmerizing tour, uncovering hidden wonders w

Excellent set up for our family of 7. The outdoor patio area was amazing and enjoyed by all.
We loved our stay. Property manager was very accommodating. Great center island location. We hiked Hooiberg every morning. The outdoor patio area was enjoyed by all - lots of space for playing games, dining and reading. Thank you!

Awesome Place
The place was perfect for the 4 of us. It was close to places that we wanted to go to plus the swimming pool at the place was a great place to relax..

Our stay at Caribbean Cozy Cove
My girlfriend Lynn and I stayed at the Caribbean Cozy Cove for 10 days and it was a great experience. Maria and Judy were exceptional during our stay and helped out with everything we inquired about. We felt very secure in the property and enjoyed the entire outdoor living space with the fantastic lighting and pool. We love the island of Aruba and its beautiful people. When we decide to return for a 3rd visit, Caribbean Cozy Cove will be at the top of our list if they have the opening. Our best vacation yet! Thank you all!!

This property is amazing. It was clean and beautiful. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. The outside dining area was a huge hit with our family as well as the pool. I would highly recommend this home!

Oh man! What a great trip!
A group of 7 friends rented the condo for a week. We could not have been more pleased with everything about it, and will definitely be back! Our friends and family have been so impressed with our pics and vacation experiences that they all want to come along, too. We very highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay - Easy to be at this Location - Aruba is one happy island!
We loved the central location of the dwelling and of course the Bright Bakery around the corner was second to none we have visited in many years..... We we never more than a 20 minutes drive from any of the 15 or 20 beaches and we visited a number of them. Check-in and Check-out was so easy and the attending house minders were so very helpful and attentive. Having a 2 space carport was appreciated, the sun does warm the cars quickly. The house was very nice and spacious. The bedrooms allowed evening privacy and the bathrooms were a sizable and quite nice. The pool and outdoor space was a consensus favorite of the family.

Great Aruba vacation!
This was a great house for us- 5 adults with room to hang together or in separate rooms. We loved the privacy wall that made it feel like our own private oasis. This was our 3rd trip to Aruba- the other times we stayed at an all- inclusive- and we really liked exploring the island more and having our own private pool to relax in afterwards. The on line pictures of the home were accurate. I loved the fact there was a washer and dryer onsite for our 2 week stay. This home is on a beach but we new that going in. It's only a short 10-15 minute drive to any beach on the island. The owner David was very responsive to all our queries.

Lee: We are glad you enjoyed our home and were able to take advantage of exploring the island by staying at our lovely home. It is a great feature of our house that you could enjoy the time away from the hustle and bustle of the hotel areas but only be a short trip to the beach. This surely is your home away from home with the true Caribbean feel.

Great spot to relax for a week.
Brenda and David were wonderful and thoughtful hosts, emailing at multiple intervals to get us ready. Dishes, cooking supplies, linens and towels were plentiful. Amazing outdoor dining area. Master suite is also really, really nice. Great neighborhood for New Years fireworks, and easily accessible grocery shopping. one small suggestion for hosts- maybe include a map, not just written directions in the welcome packet that guests are emailed? two tips for shoppers/guests - place really sleeps 7-7.5, not 8, unless two people are ok in the side house. I sort of missed that there was no dishwasher - but that's my bad.

Danielle: We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at our home for the holiday. We strive to make the house as homey for our guests as possible with all the necessary amenities. We spend most of our day and many evenings in the outdoor dining area and pool when we are enjoying our time in Aruba. Upon your suggestion I have created out a full map along with the written directions to get our guests from the airport to the house easily. In retrospect to the "side house," it was originally a maids living quarters and even though it was made up to be an "apartment" we really just advertise that space as the fourth bedroom with a queen bed and not a full living area. It is there to serve for a couple to sleep in as the fourth bedroom along with having the third full bath. This is how we calculated the amount of people in the entire home to sleep 8. I am sure Brenda would love for me to get her a dishwasher for the house and it is certainly on my future to do list. Maybe we will have it there for your next stay but for now she enjoys washing the dishes while looking out the window at the beautiful Hooiberg Mountain. Happy New Year and thank you so much for the five star review. David and Brenda

Lovely place in beautiful Aruba
Not ever being in Aruba we had no idea where the place was . Except for he dirt road which was surprising ,the place was lovely and very clean Backyard area was beautiful. Grill needs to be fixed and pool is great, but gets very dirty every day because of the wind. Being the first renters by the new owners we were the Guinea pigs. We suggest u get beach chairs at least 4 as it is very expensive to rent everything for a day. Need a real good map toas it is somewhat easy to get lost .Maybe it is being we were all women. Property managers very cooperative. Thanks Dave we had a great time Would go back again

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our house and look forward to having you stay again in the future. We are sorry that you didn't find the beach chairs that were located in the laundry room storage cabinet. Although you mentioned that pool getting a bit dusty because of the winds, the pool cleaners come in twice a week to keep the pool very clean. Part of the charm of Aruba is it's famous trade winds and that is one of the things that keep people coming back year after year. The new ignition switch for the grill is on back order but we are keeping a manual lighter at all times next to the grill. After being lit the grill works like a charm. We are sorry you had this problem. We thank you and appreciate your review. This helps us make future guests stays even more memorable than yours was. Thank you for being our first :).
