Everything said about Juan and Angela is spot-on! Great people, couldn't be better! Juan catered to my specific dive request at the busiest time of the year! The shop is steps from a dock where you can get fresh fish straight from the sea early morning or late afternoon. They will prepare the fish for you if you ask. But you will not be on the water here. Near Mangel Halto beach which is quiet and lovely. Do rent a car to get around the island. They will rent to you direct to save money and pick up and drop off at the airport. The unit is a one bedroom with two twin beds in the living room with small table. A/C works great in both rooms. The small kitchen has everything you need. I asked for a coffee maker and a grill and they were there waiting for us from day one. On arrival there was very little there beyond a bit of paper towel and half roll of toilet paper. We left behind extras, be prepared to buy cooking oil, really everything consumable or disposable. This includes beach towels and a cooler which for some reason we had to buy. One thing to clarify: the water temperature is whatever the ambient air provides. No cold or hot from the pipes. But water pressure is fine. The door has some gaps, be prepared for mosquitoes. Very basic interior, some work clearly handyman level. If that's not your thing, this isn't your place. But we had a blast and could not have been happier. Great people and if you dive, these are the ones you want!

We had a wonderful time at the Nautilus Inn. The hosts, Juan and Angela went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The space is simple and clean with an awesome shower! We spent time every day on the covered patio and in the hammock. Comfortable and safe. Blackie the cat kept us company in the mornings as we enjoyed our coffee outside. Hosts are very responsive and made many great recommendations. And if you want to scuba or snorkel, this is the place to do it. The hosts also run the scuba, snorkeling school, and do excursions. We did a snorkeling excursion. That was absolutely stunning and Jose was amazing. Definitely would come again and stay here!

First time using VRBO for travel . was very satisfied. The descriptions spot on. It is right next to possibly the best beach in Aruba Mangel Halito. Angela was a considerate host. The property has two rooms and a kitchen and most of the implements are provided. I would recommend to get a rental car though due to being a little away from the Large hotels. But in the end it will save you a lot of money. The property is adjoining the dive shop. and if you are interested in Diving you are probably in the best place in Aruba. We did not dive but it was still a great location for us. Also they have a very nice Cat called Blackie. Who also looks after the tenants with timely visits and inquiries.

I liked that it was close to one of the beaches. I did not like the dive facility accomodations. They offered a small boat/raft. The dive master did not communicate well, prior to arrival; therefore, I booked with Jads and was completely satisfied! I did not like the fact that this facility was so far away from town. Get ready to pay a lot for taxi or rent a car!

Next to the best beach of Aruba, Mangel Halto. If you love to swim in turquoise water, snorkel close to the beach or even dive, this is your place to stay. Angela and Juan are great hosts, apartment is very nice with your private terrace, if you want to dive, you can do it with Juan. We definitely want to come back!

It was a pleasure to stay with Angela and Juan.The property is walking distance to beach. We will be back there again.

It was as described. Very clean. Easy check in and check out. Location was great for us.

I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was larger than what I expected and had a nice kitchen and covered patio area to sit outside. Very clean and the ac worked great. The beach is right around the corner and the snorkeling couldn’t be better. Juan and his wife Amelia run the dive center there as well and I was able to try scuba for the first time ever. It was a lot of fun. Juan is a patient instructor who knows how to make it a good time. I have stayed in this area before since I’m not a fan of big hotels and tons of people. This is a great spot if you have a group of people who want to go diving. They have a boat and two vans so if you want to schedule a dive or a tour to a beach they can make it happen. I would definitely recommend their place. Also if you are lucky Amelia makes the best empanadas I have had on the island in all my trips down.
