This is a perfect out-of-the-way place for R&R. Since it is out of the way, make sure and stock up on food and provisions for your stay. There are a few markets on the way out of town from the airport-about a 35-40 minute drive to the house. Once settled in, you have a great view and setting on the deck and pool. Some good snorkeling is available just down the stairs from the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would book it again. ##### Thomas F.

My husband and daughters loved the scuba diving and we all enjoyed the Blue Room and snorkeling. We enjoyed Shete Boka, and Hato Caves.

If you are a good swimmer, you can climb the ladder and jump right into the water and see coral almost immediately. I snorkels almost every day, but I recommend fins to push you through any waves. The reef here is magnificent. We also loved putting out our papaya skins on a plate for the birds to eat. Of course the best part of staying here is the infinity pool and the amazing view! ##### John P.

Group of 5 divers. Just as nice the 2nd time around. Perfect for our needs. Great location in a less crowded area with beautiful view, The new ladder made ocean access easier but you still had to wait for calmer seas for entry. The house included everything needed, kitchen well supplied for any type of meal. The separate bedroom and bath made for spacious living. This was a clean well kept house.

We travel quite a bit but have never stayed in a place like this. The location is unbelievable (if you like quiet, privacy and lots of amazing birds and snorkeling right out your door). I don't even want to go anywhere else on the island. Note that this is our second time renting this home and we look forward to coming back again in future years. My favorite moments are coffee in the morning while looking down over the coral. We've seen so much wildlife right from the deck. From pods of dolphins, to sea turtles, to barracuda.... nevermind the amazing birds. Thanks so much for sharing your home! ##### Jennifer P. Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Les J. 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for large groups The property manager, Dirk and his wife, did an excellent job greeting us and showing us the house. The location right on the ocean with a pool makes it perfect for large groups considering the cost and how large the house is. Sadly, for smaller groups like ours who just want space and a nice place to stay, this house has not been maintained by the owner. Many little things wrong with the house, fans not working, drains slow to drain, a door that either doesn’t latch or doesn’t close depending on the humidity. Many little things wrong that detracted from the beautiful view. A car is a must and the nearest stores and restaurants are at least 15 minutes away. ##### Les J.

Although certainly not a recent build, the house is full of charm and yesteryear glory, yet with all modern conveniences (A/C, dishwasher, washer/dryer, state-of-the-art mosquito screen on the porch). There are neighbors on both sides, but we never heard them. Osvaldo and Dirk were easy to communicate with and answered all our inquiries with patience. ##### Michael Z.

After a long 20 months of COVID restrictions, we all needed this vacation and Curacao was the perfect escape. The house spacious, clean and was stocked with everything we needed. The location was picturesque, peaceful and remote (not easy to locate initially but worth the adventure; you definitely want to rent a car to explore the island). Highlights of the trip included climbing Mt. Christoffel, Shete Boka, Willemstad, the Ostrich Farm, and several beaches including Playa Porto Mari, Kokomo, Playa Piskado (snorkeling with turtles) and Playa Grandi. Local restaurants were excellent including Cactus Cafe in Westpunt (the African peanut soup with banana was excellent) and Shelterrock Paradise (family owned/operated; great food and hospitality). Snorkeling directly out from the house was some of the best on the island. The reef was healthy and vibrant with corals, diverse fish population and even eels and octopus. Inge and Dirk were ever so helpful with our orientation and periodic check-ins. They clearly wanted to ensure our needs were met. Oswaldo was excellent in his communications during this entire process, from booking thru re-booking last year due to travel bans, and guiding us to the property. He was very prompt with his replies and always so courteous! We highly recommend this property for couples, families or gathering of friends. We'd come back a second time!! ##### Susan F.

Stayed 15 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie E. 26 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely vacation This was an absolutely amazing vacation. The house is very charming and in a secluded location. Keep in mind that the bedrooms have air conditioning but all other living spaces do not. Therefore, we didn’t use the common areas of the house as it was just too hot for us. We spent most days on the patio and in the pool, which was lovely. We travelled all over the island and never had any safety issues. However, one thing of concern for me is that this house was listed as being a gated house in a gated community. The community gate was kept open at all times and there was no security or attendant. The gate to the house rolled open and shut by hand without the ability to be locked. The added safety features was the reason I selected this home for our vacation and I was quite disappointed that they didn’t function. We were advised that gangs had taken over the Playa Hundu beach that is very close to this house and accessible only by using the one access road to the subdivision. That left us a bit on edge. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the vacation. ##### Jamie E.

It is very quietб private? and cozy. There is a large deck with amazing view of the ocean a nearby land that is mostly untouched. There is no beach, but it is possible to access the ocean. Because the property is so secluded, the access road from Soto is fairly long (~3 miles), but it is very scenic with great views. Overall, we had a great time property, and communication with the owner and managers was very easy and pleasant. Thank you! ##### Kirill M.

Hier und da merkt man etwas das Alter des Gebäudes. Der unglaubliche Ausblick von der Terrasse macht aber alles wieder wett. Dirk hat uns vor Ort gut betreut danke nochmal. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 16 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul r. 1 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Curacao vacation villa A great time was had by all. Overlooking the ocean from the infinity pool, watching the sunsets, and gaining local knowledge from Inge and Dirk. They were amazing and very helpful. I would highly recommend this rental and will be booking again for the family. Thanks so much! ##### Paul r.

This is a fantastic property. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need inside and out. We have stayed in over 20 vrbos/aribnbs in the last 15 years and this home was the best appointed in terms of kitchen equipment, towels, linens, etc. that we have stayed in. If you stock up on food and drink at the big grocery store in town, there really is no reason to leave the house! The views. From laying in the pool during the day to the sunset to watching the stars/milky way right over your head. Just unbelievable. When the water is low, snorkeling right in front of the house will reveal amazing coral formations that we didn't see anywhere else around the island. (Jumping in from the rocks in front is ok but exiting water on the right of the house next door is necessary - walk over there and check it out before you go in and it will make sense) We rented tanks from a shop out west and had fantastic shore dives from the beach at the bottom of the hill. (Enter water to left of the jetty formation and the drop off is about 30 feet from the shore) If you want a guided dive, Brigette at B Diving at Casa Abao is your girl. It is very close by and has two really excellent shore dive routes. You absolutely need a rental car. But once you make the drive to the main road a few times, you get used to it and it seems like nothing. Two close by restaurants that we liked very much were Landhuis Klein Santa Martha and Bistro Lanternu. We even checked the schedule while we were still there so we could plan a return trip! Oswaldo, Dierk and Inge were super helpful and made the trip so easy. Rent this house.... ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2021
