ON. THE. SEA. Couples only! Check those reviews and videos out!
Cas Cielo - this seaside cottage may be on a cliff but it's also off...the...charts!
Wow...Your beach is right below you...cliff-high, sweet water cocktail pool...Patio, covered deck, cliff side 'meditation' spots, hammocks over the beach, custom sunbeds...And sunsets over the Caribbean 365-sets a year! Nice palapa on the beach!
Surrounded by mother nature...Her waves, rays and breezes, her sights, sounds and textures...Pelicans, herons, egrets, flamingos, trupials, parrots, bananakeets, sparrows, ospreys, frigates - these are your neighbors. SCUBA? Snorkeling? World Class!...People come from all over the world to dive in your backyard.
You ever see the Milky Way belt at night...Over the sea, listening to the waves and feeling the breezes? Yep, that's what I'm talking about. The constellations Orion and Scorpio transversing the night sky? A full moon setting over the Caribbean? Please. Private. Quiet. Natural. Pretty please.
It's the real deal! Our reputation is built on delivering smiles on arrival! Also ensured is a genuine get-back-to-nature experience where you can focus on each other in a very soothing and uniquely gorgeous environment.
The cottage itself is built on simple, efficient outdoor living ideas but comes with over the top amenities.
Folding doors open directly to the bedroom (no tv...You know what to do about that. There will never be a tv but there is fast and free wi-fi) and you can enjoy the surf sounds, breezes and views directly from the 2 x 2 meter custom bed. Or, you can enjoy the natural views from the 4-foot porthole window!
The deck is 40+m2 and has a covered dining and lounging area with two areas for sunbeds and an uncovered area with a pair of anti-gravity chairs.. Stepping down from the deck you can go LEFT to the beach (1 minute walk through the bush-bush) or enjoy resting and sipping for a while in meditation spot over the beach... You can go diving, snorkeling, floating, sipping, kissing...There are no neighbors going south for about a mile of coastline! But, if you want you can swim to global top-ten Cas Abou beach (about 20 minute slow swim) and grab a sandwich and a beer, maybe a massage and then rent a kayak or paddleboard and go exploring! B-i-n-g-o - you're on holiday with somebody you love!
OR you can take a RIGHT and hit the fresh water cocktail pool and light garden! That's gets pretty addictive...Afterwards you can enjoy an outside shower to get the salt off or just let it bake in while resting on custom loungers by the pool or the chairs on the edge of the cliff. Take your pick! The sunset over the sea is spectacular and the cliffs changing from gray to gold is complete nonsense!
I suppose you might want to fire up the gas grill at some point for a nice lomito!
The bathroom is just off the bedroom with simple toilet, shower and sink. The outside shower is an artful, natural paradise.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with a big fridge/freezer, 4 burner gas stove-top, coffee maker, toaster, blender, rice cooker, counter-top oven/microwave and all the pots and pans you (or, the chef!) need.
Folks, it's a simple, comfortable place designed with love and attention to detail...In perhaps the best setting on the entire island of dushi korsou!
Also included is coffee/sugar that go with our house drip-coffee machine. We want you to start your holiday and your mornings off properly!
All rates already include everything, no other hidden fees. Just please Think Green on the island! The expectation is to keep the AC and fans off when not in use, thanks!

24-7 help with anything at all!
Bath and beach towels
mid-visit quick clean with towel and linen changes

Pictures and words cannot express just how private and beautiful this property is. Don and Angie are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the island and reapond to any concerns promptly. We will be back again!!
5.0 / 5.0
This was a fabulous vacation. The property was incredible. We have never seen an ocean so calm and water so clear, and all of it right outside your back door. Very safe, and the people were very nice. We did our Scuba Diving on the reef just beyond the cottage. We spent so much time in the plunge pool just enjoying the ocean view. The stars we saw at night from the pool were mind-blowing. Don was the best, the information packet he gave is the most comprehensive I have seen. Every restaurant he recommended had great food and service. We are already planning our next trip back to Curacao and we will be staying at one of Don's places for sure.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our trip to curaçao! There is a million dollar view from the deck of cas cielo which is truly amazing! The short path from the deck to the beach allows for a quick dip in the sea or a prolonged snorkel around the corner to the lovely beach at cas abou. Seaside Don who operates the cottage is very easy to work with, communicates well, and sends very good info regarding island activities while you are there including snorkeling, restaurants, and hiking. The kitchen is well equipped. For food but especially wine I would drive the 25 minutes to the Carrefour as they have just about everything you will need to drink from white burgundies to Rhones to Bordeaux. We also purchased fresh fish on the roadside which was delicious. I would also mention to birdwatchers that it is easy to see lots of wild flamingos in curaçao (most near Jan Kok) but also many bird species right there on the deck of cas cielo. What a great stay! And don’t forget to do a little cliff jumping at westpunt…

This place is the Heaven on Earth! The pictures and videos shared online do not do it justice! A true gem to reconnect with each other and embrace the unique nature around you.
Don and Angie were exemplary hosts who always responded very quickly and shared any information we needed in great detail. They were very friendly and helpful.
The house is very private, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Everything was as advertised and better than expected. The stunning private beach, heavenly scenery, as well as the close proximity (5 minute drive or so) to Cas Abao - the most beautiful beach we found on the island - makes it an unmatched location.
If you want to have a unique stay which you may not find anywhere else on Earth, do not look further.

This property is a dream location to stay at with your significant other. Don and Angie are awesome hosts. They had great suggestions for places to eat. The snorkeling right off the community beach was first rate. Lots of fish and coral.
We enjoyed our stay ,
Thanks Don and Angie

My husband and I traveled to Curaçao to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful stay at Don's bungalow along the sea. We were in regular communication with Don, our host, which was an added comfort. The place was as expected, secluded, quiet and breathtaking views which included daily sunsets. We enjoyed everything about the property, including the artistic flare, landscaping, pool and friendly iguanas.
5.0 / 5.0
What a love place! A very private, beautiful and safe place to be. This space has everything we needed and more. The photos and videos posted does not do it justice. We particularly loved watching the sunset from the porch at dinner. Most nights we had the door open to hear the ocean while we’re still awake. The moon and the stars show at night were beautiful! The outside shower was a beautiful touch, we used it throughout our stay. The privacy you get from this cottage was unmatched. A private beach below is beautiful, we snorkeled from that point all the way to Cas Abou beach. Then to the right from the cottage is one fantastic snorkeling site we very much enjoyed, we went twice all
the way to the point. We didn’t see anybody else there which made it so much special. There’s a plunge pool out front which we utilized a couple of times, it’s nice and cool. The couple of seating area in front of the pool was one of my favorite spots to have my drink at sunset. Incredible sunset views! Everything about this place suited our outdoorsy lifestyle. There were a lot of birds, lizards and we even saw and iguana perch on the tree. With warm weather, comes mosquitoes… we burnt about 5 citronella whenever we’re home and also applied bug spray. It helped a lot. Not the cottage’s fault it’s just reality in a tropical setting. We stayed 8 nights and cooked dinner at home 4 of those nights. Fish from the local fishermen was easily acquired.
Don and Angie were super hosts, ask them anything they’re there to answer your questions. Very highly recommended! In fact if we ever go back to Curaçao we will stay at this cottage or another cottage they host.
Thank you so much for all the memories.
5.0 / 5.0
Selecting a location for our 20th anniversary, we really wanted to avoid the typical resort crowds, be able to snorkel/dive with as little hassle as possible, but also have proximity to dining and entertainment when desired. Cas Abou was everything we could have asked for.
As soon as we got to the property we knew we'd made the right choice. From the amazing views and privacy, to being able to walk 50ft right into the ocean you couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
Being able to wake up in the morning, have breakfast outside enjoying the ocean views (all the while feeding wild iguanas that stop by to visit) and just walk down into the ocean was amazing.
With no local crowd, the volume of localized coral remains undamaged which in turn means plenty of fish, octopus, etc. to see when snorkeling. Anytime we wanted a break, it was a short walk back to the cottage for a bite to eat or a quick (15-20 minute) drive to a restaurant if we didn't want to cook.
From St Thomas to the Bahamas to locations throughout Mexico, we've never stayed at a location that was as welcoming, enjoyable and relaxing.
5.0 / 5.0
Don and Angie have created something truly special here. The cliff top views are breathtaking. The plunge pool was perfect to relax in. The outdoor shower was a nice touch.
Our favorite parts of our stay were taking a hike with Angie and snorkeling to Cas Abao beach! 10/10 would recommend.

My husband and I enjoyed celebrating our honeymoon in this little piece of heaven. The view was always amazing, and the sounds of the waves were relaxing. The local people are very pleasant and the food was fabulous. Thank you, Don & Angie, we look forward to visiting again.

Bad Electrical Panel - No Electricity or Hot Water
Bottom line is that there is an abundance of beautiful properties on Curacao and we would not recommend anyone renting a property through this owner.
First, the kitchen was not clean with the refrigerator, microwave and inside cabinet drawers all dirty with food crumbs and spills. This was a minor issue compared to not having electricity or hot water for a combined total of 24 hours. The owner's response was to advise us to sleep outside. He offered no concessions as a result of our experience and refused to refund us one night stay.
The loss of electricity and hot water disrupted our vacation and our peace of mind during our stay for significant periods of time on the nights of Tuesday, 1/18 (several hours until my husband was able to reset the breaker after the owner tried to do so) and Thursday 1/20 (all night). We got fewer than 3 hours of sleep on Thursday night. This is because the lack of electricity meant no air conditioning and no fan were available. With overnight low temperatures near 80 degrees, it remained hot and uncomfortable in the house, even with all the windows wide open and the sliding doors fully opened. Sleeping outside was attempted briefly, but it quickly became clear this wasn't an option unless we wanted to get eaten up by mosquitos. A smaller, but not insignificant added stress was the fact that we had perishables in the refrigerator and freezer and didn't know when/if power would be restored to preserve them.
The owner sent an electrician on the afternoon of 1/19 to replace a breaker and offered to send him back to do additional upgrades (before the all-night outage). We asked the owner not to do this during our stay because we understood that the 1/19 repair to one section of the breaker panel would be enough to keep the electricity running while we were there and because we wanted to minimize additional interpersonal contacts (due to Covid). Had the owner told us, "Well, I can't guarantee it won't shut down again" we would have certainly consented to a proactive electrician follow up visit.
The fact the owner gave instructions to guests (in the on-site printed guide) to refrain from running the A/C, fan, water heater, and microwave at the same time tells us he knew the electrical panel was in need of an upgrade. (We never ran all those items at once).
The owner was pleasant, until there were issues with the property giving the impression he was more put out than we were as a result.

Cielo was the most unique and beautiful place that we’ve ever stayed at in the Caribbean. It’s a great place to unwind and recharge. The views are incredible at every direction. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower area and different sitting areas. We rented Don and Angie’s kayaks for 2 days and had the best time kayaking to the local beaches from Cielo. We also enjoyed all of the local restaurants suggested by Don and Angie. Don and Angie were both so nice and made you feel welcome. Do yourself a favor and experience Cielo for yourself!!

Absolute Dream!
My husband and I stayed at Don’s property for 6 nights for our honeymoon and it was an absolute dream! Hands down one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at. Everywhere you turn there is an artistic touch. It was so relaxing to wake up in the morning, make coffee, and sit in the outdoor living room overlooking the ocean and listening to the waves! There were so many beautiful sitting areas around the property. Everyday we would wake up, lounge on the semi-private beach just steps away and snorkel right off the beach! We would finish the afternoon swimming in the private pool that overlooks the ocean! Don and Angie were very attentive and helped with anything we needed! Highly recommend staying here! We hope to return some day!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
The house is amazing; I genuinely can’t imagine staying anywhere else on the island. Don has truly thought of so many things to make the house a place to relax. The view from the house is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
I can’t wait to go back and stay in the same place!

Property not as stated if you want to go camping stay here
There was no hot water. Owner expects guest to shower outside. Shower inside had instant hot water heater which was insufficient shower was in with the toilet and sink not separate. Shower inside floods living area. No hot water at sinks to wash dishes or face. Car advertised with “cottage” was in bad shape with no way to open back doors. Given 2 towels with only 1 midweek exchange. If you want a camping trip this is the place. Very remote with dive site accessible only through a very poorly maintained path. It would be very difficult to carry tanks down to the dive site or even walk down. We left after only one night owner would not refund a dime. He does not care about customer satisfaction at all. I own rentals and have been renting them through VRBO for 15 years and I always make it right with my guest if they are unhappy this owner will not!!! Beware

Wonderful private and peaceful getaway
My wife and I had a wonderful time at the little cottage. The indoor space is small, but amazingly efficient...everything we needed was there. And the outdoor space is amazing. There are so many places to relax any way you want: sun, shade, water, sitting, lying down, etc. Sunsets are amazing. The providers recommended for catered meals and massages were truly outstanding as well. Airport transfers were seamless and the cottage car was useful and easy. Fantastic property and hosts!

Perfect Getaway for 25th Wedding Anniversary
We could not have asked for a more perfect place with more gracious hosts to spend a week away celebrating our anniversary. Highlights of the amenities offered at this rental were the airport pickup, rental car, grocery service, rustic natural setting, amazing views, and easy beach and water access via a private path.

Stunning views, warm breezes
My husband and I just spent a week at Cas Cielo and we've never been anywhere quite like it. The privacy, quiet and seclusion were priceless. We had planned on spending more time in town, but the views were so beautiful we ended up cooking in the well-appointed kitchen or grilling on the BBQ for most meals, so we could then enjoy listening to the crashing waves from one of the outdoor eating areas.
We were thrilled to see the diversity of life on the house reef. Again, we had thought we would spend a lot of time driving to beach or boat dives elsewhere. But Cas Abou Beach and the house reef were so beautiful we ended up doing all of our diving and snorkeling within a mile or so of the house. Bridget's dive shop next door rented us tanks for $9 so we just beach dived the whole time. The folks at her shop are worth a mention -- so helpful, friendly and funny.
Amazing.
This locations has been decorated and outfitted with love and attention to detail. It was absolutely perfect for us.
One warning for those with mosquito sensitivities: don't get lulled into going out and thinking you won't be bitten! Wear your insect repellant outside every time.
We loved Cas Cielo. Highly recommend.

Fantastic property in a relaxed setting
A beautiful property with breathtaking views of the ocean in a relaxed, quiet part of the island. Various outdoor porches provide the perfect setting to enjoy a meal and a glass of wine while watching the waves and surrounding wildlife. The property managers are absolute pros - no problem accessing the home and they provided us with a number of useful suggestions. We can't wait to go back!

This property is exactly how its listed. Small cottage with outdoor living space, stunning views and some of the best snorkeling on the Island. Don and Angie were great to work with and super responsive to our needs. We had Chef Lisa come over and cook dinner for us on our first night. She was a delight and the food was AMAZING. Highly recommend her!! The airport pickup and use of rental car was a great way to avoid the hassle of a rental car company. Location was perfect, safe, secure and quiet. The birds and critters were a joy to watch. We enjoyed our time there and hope to visit again soon!!

It was good but not private
We wanted a Honeymoon experience since we didn't get one. The location was wonderful and the house was beautiful but the PM Don was often at the property even when we were gone exploring the island, visiting beaches, going in and out of the home. We felt as though we didn't have any privacy and thought it was excessive. The day before we left, we came home to the house, noticed his battery charging for his tools and the water jug that was inside the house, locked-up when we left, found on the deck under the lounge chair when we returned . We felt like our privacy was invaded too much. I can understand he was upset when we left the AC on. Once we completely forgot to turn off. Then my husband got a sinus infection and needed cool air to breathe. Don was okay with the air when we explained my husband's sinus issue and didn't say anything more. The day my husband felt better, we diligently turned it off. Angie was wonderful. We loved her and she communicated to us when she was going to be there for a linen and towel change. When we left, we got an email 5 days later asking where his ornaments went. (Two purple glass balls and a clear glass one hanging on a tree) Don was at the home when we left. If there was an issue, he should of notified us that same day or the following day by email. They were there the day we left and we have videos of them in the tree.
If we had true privacy, I would easily give this 5 stars but we didn't have that and that's what we wanted.

What a way to relax! This private cottage offers everything you need to enjoy your time in Curacao.

The cottage is fully equiped and Don & Angie has been extremely helpfull, making sure we fully enjoyed our vacations. A place we will go back!

Exceeded all lofty expectations
We arrived to Cas Cielo with high expectations and it lived up to those expectations and then some. Don and Angie were fantastic and quick to respond any time we reached out for advice or recommendations. The views, privacy and overall experience at Cas Cielo were simply breathtaking to the point we've already started thinking about when we'll be able to come back. I think we hit every major beach in our week in Curacao and the location of this home was as good or better than any place we saw on the entire island. I've rented a lot of places at a lot of different locations over the years, but none will come close to matching the memories that were made at Cas Cielo.

Fully refreshed by the sights and sounds of Cielo
This was our first trip to Curacao and it's left me wondering what else we could possibly need on a vacation. From the time you wake up you are met by the soft sound of waves meeting the rocks on the beach, exotic birds calling and flying around, hermit crabs mingling just beyond the deck, and of course the the iguanas stealthily roaming the property. All you have to do is walk right outside the door and look right into the that bright blue water to spot fish in the corals. Some nights my wife and I would be sitting at the round table looking down the coast line or relaxing in the pool staring at the stars when a whole network of glowing orbs would appear in the shallow water all the way down the beach. What a beautiful place...It's easy to lose that desire to see the rest of the island because there is so much to appreciate right there at home. Curacao has so much to offer so staying somewhere like this only makes it better. Don and Angie will be there for whatever you need without compromising your privacy and making your stay hassle free, even things like rides to the airport at 4:00 in the morning. Curacao was a really great experience for us. Willemstad is comfortable and very walkable, Christoffel park is absolutely beautiful and full of things to see, the restaurants are delicious and laid back. Something I did not know before going there was how the local people truly make you feel at home. One of the more tense parts of traveling is being different from everyone else for a change and often needing their help. This is not an issue in Curacao and was somewhat of a highlight in our experience.
To sum it up Curacao is a great place to go and if you're gonna go, I can't imagine staying anywhere but Cas Cielo.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to stay there Don.

What an amazing journey and stay! Everything you see in the pictures and noted in information is accurate. We could not have enjoyed our time more!
This spot is perfection. I love snorkeling, and you can step right down the path, hop in the water, and snorkel left or right to see beautiful sea scapes, coral, fish, and the most beautiful blue water.
At the house, parrots, parakeets, doves, and iguanas of all sizes hang out and provide company. The birds serenade you, and the iguanas relax in the sun with you.
Don and Angie were wonderful. Don’t miss a walk with Golan (the dog) and Angie. Don gives great restaurant suggestions and makes transport around the island easy. Rent a car from them, book walks and tours with them, and if you need transport from the airport, nothing can be easier.
We would love to return!

Exquisite Natural Setting
This wonderful, private setting with inspiring views of the ocean is quite unique and unlike anything else we have seen in our travels. Although Curacao has much to offer, we felt little need to leave Cas Cielo. The easily accessible nearby beach offers great snorkeling in a protected area. The outdoor shower is great after a swim. The gated community was an added bonus. Don and Angie are always available and helpful. Don, an artist at heart, has done a great job of design and decoration. His handiwork and creativity are evident everywhere. The surrounding wildlife is quite amazing. We were visited regularly by seemingly tame, colorful birds. We will return.

Absolutely Stunning
Every year we venture to the Carribean looking for small, unique out of the way places to relax, read, snorkel and do things at our pace. This topped all of our other vacations. How can you possibly beat waking up in the morning looking directly at the ocean, then walking down a few steps past the plunge pool and having coffee right on a cliff. Then a couple of Iguanas come out on the rocks to sun themselves. WOW! Back up to the deck and have breakfast overlooking the ocean and then walk down a path to your own beach - yes your own beach. Snorkel (some of the best snorkelling on the island is right here), swim, sit in a chair and read... total tranquillity. This end of the island is quiet and peaceful but there are lots of beaches to visit, small quaint restaurants and lots of mini markets to buy food. Did I say they have a full kitchen and propane BBQ (all very new) so we bought some Tuna from a fisherman on one of the beaches and they cut it up for us into filets and we BBQ'd it. Delicious. Our hosts, Seaside Don and Angie were amazing, with great recommendations where to go, what to see and anything we needed, they figured it out. The cottage is fully equipped with chairs for the beach, cooler, extra flippers and masks and even a Kayak if you want to rent it for the day.
If we could give it an 11 out of 10 we would, and would we go back, absolutely!

Beautiful cottage in it’s own stunning paradise
Fantastic cottage in a beautiful, tranquil location. We were blown away upon first arriving. The cottage itself is very chilled and relaxed, with lots of nice features and details which make it very welcoming and easy to settle in. This is made particularly easy with the warm welcome from Angie and Don, who are more than happy to help with any queries and arrangements and really helped to make a stress free holiday!
The cottage is a perfect paradise for a couples retreat, overlooking the stunning turquoise ocean in the morning or perfect sunset views in the evening - nothing more relaxing than watching the sun go down whilst chilling in the pool! There are several different, unique areas to sit and enjoy, each getting sun at different times of the day.
The private beach is literally a stones throw away and from here you can do some fantastic snorkelling and/or diving, with plenty of corals and fish near by without even having to put much effort in (on a calm day at least).
It’s also a haven for wildlife and a nature lovers paradise - so many different plants and trees; many species of birds visit throughout the day; some of which will feed direct from your hand....humming birds visit the trees early morning and evening and pelicans hunt from the rocks directly below...not to mention the iguanas happily taking food each morning!
The cottage is also a perfect central point for many stunning local beaches up the west coast and not far from the plains where the flamingos hang out.
One of the problems is it’s difficult to prise yourself away from the cottage paradise to go exploring every where else!
One thing to mention is that a car is a necessity, but luckily you can rent the cottage SUV, which is a perfect car for nipping around the island and at a decent price compared to the local car rental companies.
We would highly recommend using the cottage as either your base camp for exploring the island or equally to spend your entire holiday at, it’s perfect for both! We’ll definitely be back the next time we visit Curaçao!

We are missing Cas Cielo already! There is everything to love about this cozy home. Don and Angie instantly make you feel welcomed and at home sweet home!
Curacao is a beautiful island with many places to explore and enjoy. Our favorite times were relaxing at Cas Cielo, snorkelling, swimming, listening to the sounds of pure bliss. We were awe struck by the view every day.
It was everything we wanted for a dream vacation and more. Thank you for sharing your perfect paradise with us.
Until next time,
C and J from ”Winterpeg”, Manitoba!
