What a property! We were greeted by the owner, who was so kind! He walked us through the property and showed us everything it had to offer. He even had a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations around the house to make it feel welcoming! The house was immaculate! So clean, and had amazing amenities. The outdoor area was so nice to hang out in. We ate dinners out on the patio, sat around the pool and had drinks! I read every morning out in the very comfortable lounge chairs that overlooked the pool. he gave us a mini options for local places to eat, he sent us information on restaurants and shopping that was open during Christmas. I would send him messages and he would communicate back right away. He really helped us with any questions we had! We will be definitely going back to Aruba in the future and will most likely stay at this property or another one by the same owner.

We have been to Aruba several times in the past and always stayed in a hotel. This was the first time we rented a house and it could not have been any better. The house was beautiful and had all the amenities you could need. Our host Arnold was great and always available to answer any questions we had. He made the whole process easy. We will definitely be back next year.

The property was fantastic, the rooms, bedding, beach gear, towels and stocked items (ie. coffee, tea, paper products) were plentiful and stocked. The owner was extremely responsive with recommendations on places to eat and things to do. When there was a problem the owner arranged the repair immediately. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

We booked our stay initially to support a friend who chose the ‘Happy Island’ as the site for her wedding. Unbeknownst to us the annual music festival was being held at the same time. Thank goodness for our host Arnold. He had all the answers and even questions we didn’t know we would have. From one end of the island to the other our party explored and merged with friends we brought with us and met along the way. The trip was nothing short of amazing. The home was immaculate. It met every need we could have imagined. I arrived before my husband and even with Arnold’s explicit instructions I still managed to get lost and he talked me through everything. Upon arrival and checking in I was able to call home and have my husband unpack tons of things that we would normally bring along. The home was more than favorably stocked for our stay. From pool floats, to portable speakers, board games and cleaning supplies Arnold had us covered. We truly felt as if we were still at home. Although we didn’t need it we had his direct phone line to contact him at anytime during the stay. We could have stayed another week on the happy island and believe me our little family is already looking forward to visiting again and of course staying with Arnold.

The property is so lovely and perfect for groups who enjoy a little space. Three teen girls loved having their own pool house and spending some time away from the adults. Everyone loved gathering either at the kitchen island or covered patio table for meals , but I believe poolside was the favorite spot for all! Thalidomide property has everything one needs to enjoy an Aruban Holiday. The host, Arnold met us at arrival to provide keys and information about the property. He also spent about an hour offering information about the island and local restaurants etc. He is very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Our host, Arnold is outstanding! He reached out just after booking to see if we had any questions about the island , any specific needs and he even offered to get us a car or send some info. Each of the few questions I asked him were answered quickly and thoroughly He even checked back several times prior to our arrival to see if he could assist us with anything. The listing and pictures do not do this house justice. It is very well maintained and was absolutely spotless upon our arrival. Arnold greeted us and went through everything with us about the house, where everything was , etc. He again asked us what we were looking to do and offered us suggestions and even sent us links to restaurant's and an art tour. When I had a simple question while visiting , again, he responded quickly. The house is very nice and well equipped with dishwasher and washing machine pods . In the pool area there are tables and chairs in the shed there are floats , beach chairs , umbrella and games . Each room has its own bath and the guest suite is also fully equipped , even with a washer and dryer as well. Plenty of linens , towels ( beach as well) and all household items were found there, making it very easy and stress free for us to not have to worry about running right to the store to pick up many little items. We have been to many house rentals in the past, this one is very near the top as one of our true favorites to date. We have already been thinking about our next trip to Aruba ( this was our 3rd ) and we will definitely be renting this home again. It is very well located near Palm Beach and the hotel district-less than 5 minutes , and our favorite Arashi Beach - also 5 minutes away. Has a large driveway - would hold 3 cars , we had 2 . Plenty of space . Gated driveway with remote . We felt very secure in the house and the neihborhood. Can't wait to come back !!

What a beautiful experience we had this property. We were welcomed by Arnold. He is just simple wonderful. He took care of everything, we didn’t need anything but our clothes. The house is super clean and cozy. We felt like we were home. I highly recommend staying here in Aruba…We will be back! Thank you :)

My cousins and I came for an all girls trip and had such a blast! The house was absolutely beautiful and incredibly spacious. We spent most of our time in the backyard with the pool and really nice dining area. Everything that we wanted to do was just a drive away. Would definitely recommend!
