Amazing place and amazing host.
The place was as advertised! Spacious, clean, views. It was perfect for our group. The pool was awesome. It was the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving. The host was in point. He was always quick to answer any questions and Netty was as well. Highly recommend this place.

Solid 4+ star stay
This property was ideal for our extended family group of 9 adults. The house is a bit off the beaten path but in great location in the middle of the island with an amazing view. There’s plenty of space to spread out in the main house and the two smaller apartments. The fantastic pool area with sun and shade was a fun place to spend time and enjoy the beautiful views. The well-equipped kitchen and gas BBQ made meal prep easy. Communication before the stay was great, and the owner provided very detailed directions to the house. The caretaker was on time for check in and check out, and she coordinated a chef to come cook a delicious dinner for us one night. I didn’t give five stars because there were some minor maintenance issues. I did let the owner know, and he is working to address them. Also, the main living area and kitchen are very hot later in the day and could really use a fan. While this is completely outside the owner’s control, there is construction happening just below the house, and the noise started early and was very noticeable in some of the bedrooms. Please note none of these issues would keep me from booking here again or recommending the property.

Beautiful house and perfect location
Every year I take my friends on a vacation for my bday. I rent high end houses. I chose this house for the # of bedrooms, the ocean view and close proximity to the best beaches on Curacao. It didn’t disappoint. Galo and Netty are fantastic. The house is well equipped, big pool, spacious inside and outside. Private and up a hill with gorgeous sunsets!! Plenty of cookware / dishes/ glasses and some spices etc. On way to house, grab some toilet paper, paper towels, dish washer soap and washing machine soap. Pack light as there is a washing machine. Best beaches within 20 minutes and town 45-1 hour drive. Would definitely recommend this house!!!

July Vacation
We had 11 people from 3 different families in this house. The size and design of the house gave each family their own space, but we also had areas that we could all be together. The views can not be beat. The pool and the outdoor space was amazing. The hammocks are wonderful, as well. Great place to stay, it is out and away from the downtown, but we like it that way. However, with that said, you are still very close to so many beaches and restaurants, that it doesn’t matter. Wonderful place and would definitely recommend it to other families.

Vistamar was a delight, with stupendous views - from sunrise through sunset. Though it is off the beaten track, that can be an asset if you’re looking for quiet relaxation in a gorgeous setting. Strong recommend.

What a great place to stay. Away from the hustle and bustle, quiet (except for the wonderful birds) peaceful and the views were amazing! The house was gorgeous and well equipped. Pool was amazing. Plenty of room for our party of 13. Had great weather the entire week. Had a couple of hiccups during the week with water and power that were taken care of quickly with responses from owner and caretaker quickly! Neither of which was a house itself issue Would recommend this property 100%! Our care taker Nettie was wonderful and responsive! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Thank you so much Lynn for your kind review ... I really appreciate it. I am sorry for answering this late... I am so sorry for the power loss that happened during your stay and also for the water service suspension due to maintenance by the local utility company. These events are outside our control. Luckily these were taken care of on time. We really enjoyed having you at our villa. You were great guests and left the place in perfect shape. You are always welcome back to stay with us during your next vacation in Curacao. Thank you so much for your trust and preference.

Incredible Home with a Beautiful View
We were a group of six staying at the property. I’ve never been so impressed by a rental home. I had high expectations and they were surpassed. The sunset every evening was spectacular. The home felt luxurious and spacious. Galo and Netty were highly accommodating. We worked from home for two days while there. The internet was very strong on the top floor, less so on lower floors, so when we needed to do Zoom calls we just took them from upstairs. I’ve never been so highly motivated to recommend a property to friends and family, this one is special.

Amazing views
We had a wonderful week staying at this beautiful home. Although it was a bit of a drive from Willamsted it’s in a great location for getting to many of the gorgeous beaches! The only negative was that the main living area and kitchen weren’t air conditioned (only the bedrooms) but we spent the days at the beaches and evenings by the pool so it wasn’t a big problem. And the breezes coming off the water were great. Great communication from the owner and property managers

Excellent place to stay on Curacao !
Beautiful Villa with priceless views. Villa offers great areas for communal or private space - kitchen is well equipped for any type of cooking, we ate out most of the time but cooked 2 nights. Very close to the best diving on the island ( west end ) and a great dive shop - Go West Diving. If you are heading here for diving, Watamula is probably one of the best dives we've every done - a must do. We aged out between 18 & 65 and with the different apartments and main living area - plenty of privacy for all. Galo is the perfect host and very accessible - one of the best stays we've had in any of the islands - highly recommend !!

Great Stay in Curacao
Our group of 11 had a great time in Curacao especially the stay at the house. The rooms were spread out so that 3 different groups could have their own location. The view is tremendous and bird watching from above the birds in the trees below was great. The responses from the owner and the local property managers were prompt and accurate. Thanks for a great vacation!!

Vista Mar was amazing! We usually travel islands and go to all the beaches, restaurants, etc. While we did do a lot of that, the majority of our time was spent at our villa. Ocean views, peaceful surroundings, private pool, fully equipped kitchen..... so relaxing to just stay 'home".

Stunning
I wish I could rate this property higher than 5 stars. The pictures don’t do this gorgeous home justice. Our group could have spent our entire vacation at this house and never left to explored the gorgeous island. The house and the location was so spectacular, that you don’t want to leave. I have been renting homes for vacations for a good 10 years now. This has been by far the best experience in those 10 years. No one in our group had been to this island before, so we were a little nervous to be so far away from town. Galo (Host) assured us the area was safe and provided us with great advice for traveling around the island. The area is completely safe. The property manager was fantastic, and was just a simple text or phone call away. He lives close by as well and he responded quickly to anything we needed. There was a beach within walking distance as well as access to the ocean very close to the house. Both locations are fabulous for snorkeling. Some of the most amazing beaches I have ever seen in the Caribbean were just a short drive from the house. Very few people at the beaches, we practically had theses beaches to ourselves. Again, amazing snorkeling, and calm beautiful waters to just swim and relax. We spent most of our 10 days at the house or exploring the beaches around the house. We went into town once, which was very nice and we had a great day of shopping and exploring the beautiful downtown. There are some beautiful beaches near the downtown area, but much more crowded. We preferred the less crowded more secluded beaches closer to the house. Our entire experience was amazing. The house and the views of the ocean from every room was breathtaking. The weather was perfect. The multiple hammocks throughout the house provided the perfect place for a nap, or to read a book out of the sun. The outside dinning was amazing with the views of the sunset each night, just spectacular.!! This is a perfect house, an amazing island, with the kindest people. I also can’t say enough great things about Galo and the property manager. They made sure we had an amazing experience. In all the years of of renting vacation homes, a host has never called me after my visit to follow up on my stay. He wanted to make sure we had a good experience, and ask if he could improve anything. Excellent customer service, and concern that we as guests had an amazing experience. I highly recommend renting this spectacular home. Tamra Raess

Our week stay was absolutely great . I would make a couple of suggestions. Garbage truck only comes out once a week ( Monday’s I believe ) pool maintenance service is once week as well & would of preferred a larger bbq pit . We cooked out alot . ***other than these few suggestions all was perfect . In a heart beat would stay here again ! Gracias Sr Galo , disfrutamos mucho su hermosa casa durante nuestra estancia en Curacao . Nos vemos próximamente.

Thank you so much Kara for your nice and generous comments both in English and Spanish. In regards to the garbage pick up, we have no control over this as this is managed by the government and this is their policy. We have tried several times to have them pick up the garbage twice a week, but we have not had a positive response from them. The maintenance pool is weekly and this should be enough. I will check with my property manager to check for the quality of the work of the pool person. We really enjoyed having you and your family over and we absolutely look forward to hosting you and your family in the near future. Thank you again!

Birthday trip
Myself and 8 of my friends stayed at the home for my birthday week. I just want to say how gorgeous the house is. The pictures do not do it justice. On one night the electricity was out in our area which was so unfortunate because it was the night before my birthday. We called the property managers and they said our lights would be back on in a couple hours we woke up the next morning at 5am and the lights were still out. I would suggest a generator. Also the house is really far from the main area (about 40 mins) so keep that in mind when you book. All in all I loved the home. The view is beautiful, pool is nice and clean and kitchen has everything you need. Make sure to buy groceries before you head to the house. Also Netty cooked for us the first night and it was delicious!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you request her services. She cooks traditional Curaçao meals.

Spectacular House With A Stunning View
This is a magnificent house with room for large or even multiple families. It is located in a very remote area of the island (which made it perfect for "social distancing"), so occupants will definitely need a car to get around. The property is immaculate, the pool is great, and the views from almost every room are absolutely breathtaking. It is not the easiest place to find, but once you are there, you will never want to leave!

Amazing views and very comfortable home
VistaMar was an excellent place to call home during our week in Curacao. It is well positioned on the island for easy access to the most beautiful beaches and not far from grocery stores and restaurants. The house itself is stunning and stands out from all the rest around it. The pool was great for our two young kids who loved the waterfall and shallow end. We only used the top level of the house but there are two levels below should you have a very large party or multiple families. Amazing place to stay.

Beautiful, private home with stunning view.
Our family had a wonderful vacation here. We had seven people in our group and didn't feel even remotely crowded. The house was clean and well kept. Screens on the windows is essential in Curacao, to allow for evening breeze but no mosquitos. There was screens on most of the windows, they could fit a little tighter but overall good. The pool was so refreshing each day. It was also just a short walk to access the ocean, where some of our family scuba dove from. Dirk and Inge, the property managers, were very attentive and great people. We would definitely stay here again.

An Oasis in Paradise
We stayed with a large group of 8 adults and two little ones. We appreciated the privacy of the property making it our own vacation oasis. Bedrooms were a good size with efficient AC units. The fully-equipped kitchen was a great open concept which made it easy to cook and move around. The pool was fantastic and a wonderful depth for both adults and a toddler. Some things to note were that not all doors or windows had screens so some nights were buggy for an hour or so. There was also no access to the downstairs in law space from the main house so we had to go outside and around each time which was usually fine except when it was bedtime for our infant and we wanted to still socialize. Overall we had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to plan our next visit,

Perfect Vacation in the Perfect House with the Perfect Hosts
My experience with Curaçao could not have been more perfect due to two important reasons: Firstly, this house that I rented has the perfect location overseeing the Caribbean Sea with amazing sunsets and a wonderful feeling of harmony with nature. Moreover, the updates on the house including the pool area and deck are excellent. Furthermore the bedrooms are well-appointed and all the appliances in the kitchen are first rate. In fact everything in the house is of top quality. And the Wi-Fi worked very well across the entire house except for one bedroom off the kitchen. We came to Curacao to spend 10 days celebrating my birthday with my family and I could not have hoped for a better place to do this. The best area for snorkelling and enjoying the beaches are in close proximity from this location. We entered into the city only to replenish the fridge and do some shopping. We always looked forward to coming back to the house to enjoy the views the sunsets and most importantly the sense of peace. Secondly, this vacation was excellent also due to two individuals which I would like to point out. We were very impressed with the two people that help manage this property and represent the owners interest: Dirk and Inga. From the moment of making the booking, to answering all our questions, and finally to arrival at the property, these two individuals made everything easy and seamless. In fact arriving into the driveway of the property we were met with the most warm wave and smile from them. The owner is very lucky to have people like this to manage his properties. I look forward to returning to Curacao with my family and staying here again. Thank you for making my birthday an unforgettable event !

We rented this house for 9 days while we toured and scuba dived around Curacao with our extended family of six adults and 4 children under age 5. It has plenty of room and worked great for our family group. Dirk who lives next door is very helpful in resolving any issues. I highly recommend this house if you want to be on the west end of Curacao. Kurt Wiseman
