This place is everything advertised. Home is clean, pool area is very nice. All the bedrooms have a full size connected bathroom. Well stocked for cooking at home. Great location for walking to shopping and resort area. Walk to the beach. Owners are excellent to work with and the communications are second to none. Will stay again

Nice property

We traveled with our family of 5 and another family of 5 - 6 teenage kids. This property was outstanding. Perfect location and the perfect size for all of us! The pool and outside area exceeded expectations and everything was well stocked. It was so nice to have beach chairs and coolers as well. The owners were so lovely and met us there upon check in. It was an incredible week!

This is a beautiful 4 bedroom w/ 4 en-suite bathroom home which was perfect for our group. Extremely clean, with great amenities. There is a gorgeous patio pool and a large palapa with large table to enjoy meals outside. Peter and Maria are very nice Hosts and met us on arrival. If I had to “complain” about one little thing it would be, there are only one set of towels (bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth) per person available. We were there for a week. I was not willing to spend one minute washing/drying laundry, although there is a washer/dryer on site. I did bring extra of my own, but other group members did not. I will not hesitate to come back to this property. I would rate a 10 out of 10 for sure!

We had a wonderful time. The property owners were very accommodating. This property was perfect for my husband's 60th birthday celebration with family. Great location.

We just returned from a week at Bakval. The house is exactly as pictured and had everything that we needed. It was close to beaches and restaurants. We rented a car which in my opinion is necessary in order to explore the island freely. Check in was simple and Maria was very responsive when we asked questions. The property is great for couples and families. We were 3 couples traveling together and each bedroom had its own private bath. Pool area was great for hanging out after a long day at the beach. We didn't cook in much but everything you need is there. Loved Bakval and would stay there again!

Great experience - great house - great island Maria + Peter’s house was the perfect setting for our family vacation. Meticulously clean. Very Spacious with every amenity need for a week’s stay.. It was exactly as the described and pictured. Some minor glitches (as expected for a home of this size) but Maria was extremely responsive and fixed everything very quickly. Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a. Really good time and enjoyed the home. We are already discussing a return trip!

Excellent

Absolutely perfect! Great location! House was beautiful and perfect for our family of 6. No issues, everything worked well and we will return! Thank you!

Loved every minute at this property! Peter and Maria went above and beyond building and outfitting a perfect getaway while still being close to anything you could ever want to do in Aruba. The house was perfect for our family of 5, everyone had their own room and separate bath. The layout was wonderful and the home was perfectly supplied. The pool was amazing and we enjoyed the outdoor seating for meals and games daily. The location is within walking distance of great restaurants and beaches while also being a short drive to most other attractions. We loved this home and our week in Aruba!

Good location

The location, pool, outdoor space, layout of the house and amenities were fantastic. Very convenient to several beaches, dining and shopping. We had everything we needed and more. The large outdoor table and chairs under a large palapa by the pool made our breakfasts and dinners at the house very enjoyable. The 4 children in our group (ages 9-13) loved the pool. Peter and Maria were great. We would love to stay here again!

Great location, layout and space for a large group. Communication with Maria was easy as she was very responsive. We hope to stay here again in the future.

We stayed with another family of 4 and the accommodations were perfect. House is stocked with anything you might need to cook meals there or go to the beach. Hosts were great to work with and so helpful to anything you might need. We will definitely go back!

This beautiful property suited our group of 10 perfectly, with each couple having their own bedroom & bathroom with the wonderful guest house. Notes from our stay: House is immaculate & fully stocked with kitchen essentials. Both bath & beach towels provided for each bedroom are large & thick. Having 10 Tommy Bahama beach chairs was a fantastic bonus to our group. There were a few pool/ocean noodles, which were appreciated. Pack throw away floats if you like to float, very calm water! Can also rent floats at the hotels on beach. P towels, trash bags, dishw tabs, coffee filters, T paper, hand & dish soap all provided. Ice maker not working, but we bought large bags of ice for freezer, which we would have needed anyway. Water is filtered & drinkable from sink. A/C works well. Selection of spices provided for cooking, although we only ate breakfast & lunch there. We never turned on any of the TVs (wanted to escape from the news!). Outside pool and palapa area was enjoyed frequently. Beds & pillows were all comfortable. Our only negative was the occasional cold showers, which would be expected for 10 people in one home if we didn't time it right. We got our groceries from Super Foods, which also delivers but must plan ahead. We ordered online before the trip & picked up when we arrived. Not seamless upon arrival, but worked ok. We rented a 10 passenger minivan for our group, which for us was a critical item. Walk to Palm Beach is very short, flat & easy...& a lot of our group did it daily, while others drove and parked at the Ritz Carlton (free parking everywhere) However to get to the other beaches you need to drive or call a taxi. Visited Arashi & Eagle beaches- all 3 of these beaches were gorgeous & had lounge & umbrella rentals if desired, plus beach bars w/ food options. Plenty of watersport rentals everywhere. The ocean is pristine w/ zero seaweed and bright blue, clear ocean water. We enjoyed a catamaran trip & an ATV excursion. The ATV/jeep excursion was our group's fave activity of the week, seeing the other side of the island with it's gorgeous water on the cliffs & other fun activities. Ate at Flying Fish which came highly recommended by friends & did not disappoint! Gorgeous setting on water, beautiful at night, fantastic food. Other meals were at beach bars on the water, which were fun & lively for our 8 kids, aged 19-28. Airport is small & very easy to navigate, quick in & out. We loved everything about Aruba & this VRBO property!

Had a wonderful vacation in Bakval. House was as lovely as the pictures. Lots of little extras like beach chairs and coolers that made it so easy . Maria was very responsive to all my questions and never steered us wrong with recommendations Wish we could have stayed longer Can't wait to return.

Beautiful property. They spared no expense on the fine detail of the house and pool space was put together with such class while keeping the island feel.

My family and I had the most beautiful and comfortable stay at this gorgeous, modern villa. We were a family of nine and it was spacious and airy, clean and well equipped for us all. The villa is far more beautiful in person and within close proximity of hotels and beaches. Our host, Maria, was very attentive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The pool is spectacular and beautifully lit at night. The palapa is fantastic, well lit and holds a large amount of people for outdoor eating and late night games. We felt very safe and loved our time in Aruba. We enjoyed every inch of this villa and would definitely book it again for a family vacation.

We heard great things from friends and family members about the island of Aruba... the accommodation and the location couldn't have been better, the perfect amount of space and not too close to all of the hotels and not too far from several beaches. Maria and Peter, the owners were outstanding!!

Perfect location; just a short walk to shopping, restaurants and beach. Nice, very clean and well maintained private villa with pool to relax, but close enough to tourist area if you want to get out. We had everything we needed.

Maria & Peter were great host before & during our stay. Maria would reply to messages quickly & helped us with vehicle rentals. She offered to help with more but I couldn’t herd the cats to book more. Peter was very generous with his time helping us get our bearings. Every time we reached out the response was quick & helpful. Other than that we didn’t see them. The privacy was great. Kitchen has everything you generally would need (I wish I had a muddler). House is a great room with 4 suites & a separate stand alone suite (I stayed here & loved the separation). Location is 10-15 walk to some of the best beaches I’ve ever seen (I’ve seen a lot). We had Jeep’s but also rented mountain bikes. We rented for 24 hours (next trip will be all week). We enjoyed cycling to the beach & up to California Lighthouse & the backcountry around it. If you’re more interested in nightlife maybe you would prefer a little farther south. 5 en-suite bedrooms fit our group perfectly. It’s nice at our ages ~35-51 to not have to sleep in a room set up for kids. Pool is an oasis with a lot of plants & a great covered area with a large table. The roof kept us all dry in what seemed to be daily 10 minute occurrences (apparently not the norm). Great hosts, great house, great area. Loved it
