Great location. Great caretaker! He helped if we needed anything. Loved our stay in Aruba!

My family and I just stayed for 2 sun filled, glorious weeks at Aruba Ridge Villa, in Noord, Aruba. We loved the wide open space in the main Iiving area that extended out to large sun filled deck. Nice areas at back and side for breeze and shade. Beds were very comfortable, showers had lots of pressure and the lukewarm water was refreshing. The very best part of this VRBO was our caretaker. Michaelangelo was outstanding to say the least. He went above and beyond to help us get settled in. He arranged a wheel chair for my Dad, got us a car rental, showed us around his beautiful island, he really made us feel like family. Renting a car was necessary for us and was really economical compared to taking a cab or two every time we went out. We were a group of 6 and only 5 can go in a cab. The villa had everything we needed to be more than comfortable. Loved our time there, made a great new friend and can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our stay, very spacious, easy access to the beach

Great showers, beds are a little too firm for me, loved the openness, very clean, caretaker on sight if any issues, close to Palm Beach and all restaurants.

Stayed a week here 8 years ago. Two weeks this time. Easy access to Eagle & Palm Beaches. Many resturants are also close by. Nice open air area downstairs. A/C in all bedrooms make for comfortable sleeping. Kitchen has just about everything needed for meals. No hot water for showers but after a hot day at the beach, the shower was refreshing. Having beach chairs that we could take to the beach would have been a real plus. The on sight property manager was around frequently and was always helpful. Not only if we needed anything for the house but also good info about living on the island itself. Always felt safe living in a "normal" neighborhood.

We enjoyed our vacation and stay here. All rooms were a/c and the entire house was clean. Great location to everything. We will be coming bac

We recently stayed at Arubaridge for seven days and it was perfect for our group! Each couple had their own private air conditioned bedroom and en suite bathroom. The beds were super comfortable; we all slept great every night! We had been told that the water in the showers does not get “hot” like we might be used to. Most of our group was fine with the warm water, as it turned out to be quite refreshing after a hot day out and about, but one in our group missed a truly hot shower. Just something to know ahead of time. The common kitchen/living room area on the main floor was a great gathering place as every morning we figured out where to go and what to do, and every night we got together and played cards. The kitchen had all the appliances/utensils/dishes we needed (no dishwasher, but we didn’t really need one). With large doors on both sides, we had breezes through the house all the time. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings, and even had a barbecue dinner one night with the grill on the back patio! There’s a nice little yard with pretty landscaping: bougainvilleas, aloe plants, yuccas and more. There are lots of patios: each bedroom opens to one, there’s a front patio, back patio and a side patio (with tiki umbrella). We saw chickens most of the days we were there; charming at first, but by the end, their early morning wake up calls were not as charming! This house is in a convenient location, in a nice neighborhood. We always felt safe. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beautiful Palm Beach (we got lost the first day we walked back, but then couldn’t figure out how that happened!). There is so much to see and do at Palm Beach that you don’t need to go anywhere else for the whole week, except that you would miss out on all of the rest that Aruba has to offer. There are TV's in all the rooms and all worked fine. There are even safes in the rooms for your valuables. The wi fi worked great as well. We also liked that there was a landline that we could make free calls to the U.S. if we needed to, and receive them as well. When we go back to Aruba, we will be staying at Arubaridge again!

My husband, two teenage kids and i spent two weeks at this villa this past March. We have been to Aruba before and were specifically looking for a place in this location. It was ideal in that it was only 10 min. walking distance to my family who come every year, 15 min. walk to the beach and shops/ restaurants of Palm Beach. The kids loved having their own room and bathrooms. I would not recommend this villa however, for a family with young kids unless the parents are going to share the kids' bedroom, as you cannot hear anything that is happening outside your room, except maybe the roosters in the morning. The photos of the villa are exactly how you will find it. Clean, open and airy and large enough to have guests join you for happy hour or supper. I would recommend doing groceries at Super Foods or Ling and Sons if you prefer a "North American" style supermarket although there are several small scale supermarkets in the neighborhood. The only issues we experienced which are minor, is 1. my husband was frustrated by the lack of sharp knives for chopping and food prep. 2. The caretaker is difficult to reach if you do not have a cell phone and that is something we do not have. I would like to suggest to the owner to consider purchasing some beach chairs to leave at the villa for guests. We met some wonderful Arubans who really made our vacation special as well. I would recommend this villa to friends and family and i would consider coming back here again. Thank you very much for sharing your Aruba home with us. Chrys
