About this house rental
This 3-bedroom vacation property is centrally located in the district of Santa Cruz bordering the Arikok National Park and just 5 minutes away from the most visited attraction in Aruba…the Natural pool! This property is in a quiet residential neighborhood and is a perfect getaway for nature lovers and those seeking the island’s tranquility. It is close to everything Aruba has to offer while being away from the crowded tourist area. It borders the Arikok National Park which offers great hiking opportunities. For those more adventurous, the Natural Pool is just 5 kilometers away but only accesible by 4-wheel drive. The closest beach is the Mangel Halto about 9 minutes by car (6 KM) and is a beautiful less-crowded beach, visited mostly by locals. The more crowded Eagle and Palm Beach are 14 KM and a 20 minutes drive away. There are three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. One large sitting area and a spacious fully equipped kitchen. There is also plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the relaxing surroundings. We keep a clean house and offer amenities such as WIFI, air-conditioning units in each bedroom, cable TV, dishwasher, laundry area, and much more (please refer to amenities tab). The kitchen is supplied with all the necessary cook ware. And for your nights off from the kitchen we offer a great alternative, the best pizza shack on the island is just 3 minutes away (by car) from where you're staying. All in all, a nice and affordable way (for families) to enjoy Aruba and experience the island life and how locals live! If you are used to resort vacationing, then this property is probably not suited for you.

A home in the country
A beautiful home in a quite neighborhood.
Have to have a car rental. Driving is easy but will take
20 to 40 minutes to get where you may want to visit.
Beaches and restaurants and wonderful. Roosters and dogs
are part of the local charm. Neighbors are friendly and can
be helpful if needed. I can say many good things about our
11 night stay.

Nightmare! Stay Away
This property is filthy and in desperate need of ,maintenance. The front steps washed away, The kitchen is too filthy to cook in, the basic necessities of a microwave and coffee maker are missing, and the refrigerator is a science project! The living areas are unbearably hot. You cannot open the windows as they go to ground level and there are stray animals because there is no fence. The front entry is hazardous with no lights, no railings, mud everywhere, and a single 2 foot high step to climb up! Lastly there are live bugs in our linens...the video says it best! This place is not fit for guests!
The unscrupulous owner offer a full refund if we moved out on Xmas day. We moved out and now the owner is refusing to refund our stay as promised ! I reported the owner to the local police, who directed me to the Court office. I filed a court suit to get my refund, however the owner does not live in Aruba but in the Netherlands, so I am still waiting 6 months later for the court to intervene. VRBO was useless and would not get involved despite having accepted my full payment. This entire process is a scam!

My wife and i loved our stay at there home it was clean, affordable,no hassle,and about a 15 minute drive to the main beaches. Where we enjoyed snorkeling, cruses, scuba, sunset dinners at several pier restaurants,soaking up the sun, and beach walks. Aruba was one of the most beautiful places i have ever been to, it was the perfect time and place for our 23rd anniversary. My wife and I would like to thank Shana for having us and would definitely stay there again if we return. LOVED IT ALL......

Fabulous huge beautiful remote home
We had the best girls trip. The homeowner even left a cake for my friend's 40th bday when we arrived. The home is just like the pictures except larger than you think. Great communication with homeowner for any issues or questions that may arise. Beach towels came in handy for all the beach days. The in house laundry was a plus. Full kitchen saves lots of money from eating out the whole time. The neighborhood is remote yet easy to get anywhere within 20 min or so. I would recommend staying here anytime in Aruba a very affordable way to enjoy the island without spending tons of $ and amenities not available in resorts/hotels. 2 showers and huge tub were great after long days in the sun. Air conditioners in every room worked great and able to set temps and speed for comfort. I would absolutely stay here next time I visit Aruba. Thanks Shana & Eugene for everything we truly had a great time and Love Aruba.

Spacious, beautiful home on one happy island!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. It is clean, and they provide towels for the beach, as well as plenty of towels for the home. It had more space than we could want, or need for our family of 5. It is located toward the middle/southern part of the Island, but easily accessible to everywhere we needed to go. One of the few things I would change is that there is a rooster next door that likes to get you up to enjoy the day - a bit earlier than we would have chosen! Everyone else is on "Island time" on this one happy Island! The only amenity that I would have enjoyed is a microwave - but they had everything else. The mattress in the master bedroom was amazingly comfortable. Like the best mattress I have slept on in years - including the one we own. The only other thing that we were not aware of is that there was no hot water - so the showers were lukewarm - a bit cool when we first showered, but refreshing by the time we had been there for a day! We were very thankful to have found this home. It is very affordable for those who want the space and amenities of a home - and it allowed us to put more money toward excursions on the Island. It is 5 minutes from gas, fast food, grocery store, and an amazing pizza place - the best pizza (and gluten free chicken satay's) on the Island.

Beautiful home
We enjoyed our stay very much. Shana had great communication and resolved a minor issue very quickly. The house was spacious and clean, and nicely decorated. Neighborhood was quiet. Definitely need a car as it is not near the main hotel district. We also liked the local pizza place nearby. Thank you for a fun time!

A great house in a remote - but not too remote location.
This is a great, modern house in the Utakara neighborhood, about six kilometers from the airport. The kitchen is very spacious and the bedrooms are big. There is an outdoor patio with gas grill. A grocery store is only two km away. It is only five km from the start of the trail to the Natural Pool, an awesome three km hike, best done as the sun rises. It is only 15 km to Eagle Beach with miles of pure white sand. Neighbors are very friendly. Be sure to eat at Best Pizza in Utakara Center, only 900 meters from the house.
