Great location right within Blue Bay resort/community. 5 minute walk to the beach and golf course. Close to all the amenities you would need, groceries etc. Highly recommend!

House was as described and the community is great. The house offered plenty of towels and had extra snorkeling equipment to use. I would recommend a better manual for the use of the house such as how to use the dishwasher and should be in the house versus emailed. Also would have been nice to have deck chairs and an umbrella to use

Wonderful place. Would definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed the resort. Great location. Fabulous deck. Nice place with great potential. some run down parts, fixtures. not very clean. Looks minimally maintained. The ceiling fans are old and rusty. they wobble, clank. Missing light bulbs. Found someone’s old socks in the sofa cushions.

Our family of 5 spent 6 days in Blue Bay at this lovely home. Listing is accurate and the home is very comfortable, located a short drive from the airport and Willemstad. It is part of the Blue Bay Golf & Beach Resort property. The beach at Blue Bay is beautiful - crystal clear water, white sand and lots of fun fish to spot when snorkeling. Also has dining options on premises. Our hosts, Joe and Michelle, were amazing! They proactively provided us with a comprehensive list of recommendations for activities, beaches, restaurants, supermarkets, even car rental - they made sure we had all the info we could ever want at our fingertips. They are very responsive and happy to answer any questions you have. It truly felt like our home away from home. Curaçao is the perfect getaway for beach lovers and we can’t wait to go back! We will absolutely stay here again.

The pictures of the property do not do the resort justice. It is absolutely beautiful. Many evenings were spent watching the sun set from the balcony. Villa had everything we needed for a 10 day stay. Fully stocked kitchen has all accoutrements you need to prepare meals at home. The resort's location was great for a longer stay. Only minutes from grocery stores and the mall and only about 15 minutes from Willemstad. The resort beach is well maintained and not too crowded with plenty of beach chairs and shade. The resort's pool was a great respite from the heat. The restaurants in the resort were good for a romantic evening meal on the beach, as well as breakfast. If you are looking for a great home base for exploring Curacao, this villa is the perfect place to stay.

Our family stayed here Sept 28-Oct 3, 2023. I cannot say enough good about our stay at this house! Communication with the owner was excellent. The information packets were very clear and helpful. Super great maps to locate the place. Photos of the interior to find switches for different fans and lights. SO convenient. And a tremendous about of information about what to do in the area. We appreciated the bin of snorkeling equipment available for use. The layout is spacious with room to relax. The flowers/landscaping all over the resort is beautiful. If you are debating between different properties at this resort, I would point out that this one does have air conditioning for the living room, and not just the bedrooms. Other guests and even the bride and her parents were in the same resort and only had air con in the bedrooms. The high every day we were there was over 90 degrees F. Even locals said they couldn't remember when it had been so hot. We really appreciated that extra relief in the early evening.

My family and I stayed at villa 40 for 12 days over August and had a great vacation. The villa is private, clean, only a 5 min walk to the beach and nicely appointed w local art. Communication w the owner was excellent. Any question we had was promptly responded to. The proximity to Willemstad and the northern beaches of curaçao is also excellent. The blue bay beach, dive shop and all other amenities in the resort are excellent although some of the information provided is out of date (ie. no fishing boat, sunset cruise catamaran or kayaks are available at this location). Overall, we loved our experience and hope to be back.

The house was great! We hadthe best time. Everyting was inplace. And we really felt at home.

Our family of 4 (2 college age kids) could not have been more pleased with our stay at this property on Curacao! The Villa was very open with an amazing, oversized covered patio where we spent most of our mornings and evenings relaxing while enjoying the incredible views! The communication from the owners was very helpful in our planning for not only the villa, but also options on the island. The beach is more than accommodating with controlled access, plenty of chairs and palm trees to provide shade, and access to three restaurants for food and drink. The villa is more than adequately equipped and there are 2-3 grocery stores in close proximity to provide the necessities. Our family has stayed on many of the Caribbean islands and this beach provided the best snorkeling with very healthy coral and tropical fish! Thank you Joe and Michelle for everything! We will be back in the future!!

The property was just as described, hosts were on top of any small issues we had and the location was one of the best we visited on the island. We would highly recommend staying here!

The Villa was exactly as pictured and described. We enjoyed the short walks to the pool and beach. Tips from the hosts were extremely helpful (especially restaurants and car rental suggestions). We had a lovely relaxing week!

very nice ; well looked after

We had a wonderful stay at Villa 40. Pre visit, the owners provided all information to help us with planning and answered many questions promptly and with excitement and great recommendations. Directions and check in instructions ensured no issues with arrival or access. Villa 40 is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. We felt like we were right at home but with a stunning veranda and 85 degrees! The location was perfect for us, conveinces but also short travel to all of our exploring destinations. Retuning to this Villa would be a dream come true. We will certainly search for this accommodation when visiting Curaçao again Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise!

Villa is beautifully situated on upscale property with private beach and golf course. Flamingos from nearby bird sanctuary visit ponds throughout the day. Villa is a single unit without partner villas sharing walls, so environment is very private and quiet.

Villa and Blue Bay were great. House had anything we could want with a very good location in the village. Highly recommend!

This villa is close enough to the beach at Blue Bay (< 5 min walk) and situated well that you can drive 30-45 mins north or south to visit all the different beaches. We snorkeled at 5 different beaches, each a little different. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements and storage containers that you can cook for yourselves and have some leftovers for a quick lunch the next day. The deck is wonderful to hang out and relax. Regular sized washer and dryer was a must for us as well with a family of 5. The large, well stocked Carrefour supermarket at the Sambil mall is minutes away. The prep material we received just prior to the trip was very helpful and the manager popped in shortly after our arrival and answered all our remaining little questions about the villa and even about parking in Willemstad etc. Made it all easy and a wondeful trip.

The place was immaculate and definitely exceeded expectations. The owner was very helpful with our flight situations as they were cancelled day of arrival and allowed us to stay extra day. We truly appreciated that! Definitely best customer service we could have gotten and would definitely stay there again.

Day1 we sat on the outside furniture & immediately started getting bitten but never saw a mosquitos. The next day we saw one of the 3-4 cats under the lounge chairs and My husband said the cats were probably laying on the chairs. we looked at the chair cushions & realized ALL the cat hair on the underside of the cushions. We were getting bites from cat fleas not mosquitoes biting us. You could clearly see that the cushions were not stored out the way of the cats and that they live on the furniture and the cleaning people flipped the chairs cushions over to hide the cat hair instead of cleaning and removing the cushions while the property is vacant. Once contacted someone came to vacuum the chairs but nothing was sprayed for fleas. We had to buy spray from the store to. This villas needs professional to be spraying unless you don’t mind scratching bites the entire trip. Next we had ants in every room. Someone came & sprayed but an exterminator is needed because within a few minutes the ants came back. Also, The master mattress was rock hard and there was only 2 thin pillows in the master room and 1 for each twin bed. We requested additional pillows but they didn’t have any. The villa does not supply wash cloths only large towels and hand towels. We had to request more because we only received 4 for the 6 people. The owner offered a credit if we went and bought our own from the store. The inside sofas can only accommodate 3-4 people. The other people would have to sit on the high bar stools or bring in the outdoor furniture. Finally the property needed a good cleaning/and updating. The floors were dusty, not recently mopped, the counter tops and table top was dusty, we saw cat hair & dust balls in the living room and bedrooms and the bath rooms could use a good scrubbing, toilet seats replace, and there was a sewerage smell that could come up in the bathroom. Also the comforters on the beds had stains and appeared not to have been washed in between guest. There were several door stops which we later found out were used to keep the doors from rattling from the wind outside. We eventually folded up store bag to stuff in the gaps between the door and frame. Pros: the private beach and close proximity to other beaches and city center, responsiveness of the owner and his willingness to try and resolve any issue. The owner ended up providing a refund of 20 percent.

Very private even though it sits among many villas. Flamingoes all day by the pond viewed from the deck. The house is comfortable and clean. Short walk between the villas to the beach. Eady drive to the beaches on the west side.

The house was beautiful, fully stocked with everything we needed and very comfortable. We watched the flamingos on the water every morning from the deck, a short walk to the beach side outdoor restaurant (delicious!), dive shop, and a great snorkeling beach. The hosts gave us excellent information and suggestions before our arrival so we were well prepared. The resort is beautiful, perfectly situated to explore the island - we spent most days snorkeling on West end beaches, but also had a couple of great East end adventures as well, all drivable within 40 minutes. Hopefully we will rent from Michelle & Joe again soon (or buy a neighboring villa - wow, what a wonderful Island!)

This was a beautiful villa with gracious verandah suitable for outdoor living. Steps to a lovely swimming pool and a few more steps to the beach. Beautiful swimming water. We liked the location 14 minutes to Willemstad and easy acces to the exciting north coast

Excellent stay… we had everything we needed, the pool & 10 min walk to beach. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no easy & quick access to public transportation. You will need to either rent a car or build in added costs for taxi services. Other than that, we felt safe & secure, all amenities we needed & enjoyed our stay. The owners were very responsive and we had no complaints.

We had a wonderful time at our rental in Curaçao. The warm water, gentle breeze and wildlife were all fantastic.

Villa 40 was clean and comfortable.

Can’t say enough about our stay at This Blue Bay Villa We had been to Blue Bay before, but this trip to Curacao we had decided to stay at Sunscape because we wanted an all inclusive for the kids. What a mistake! The place was horrible and hours after arriving we knew we had to leave. Went on VRBO and found The Villa Joe and Michelle were able to accommodate us the next day and were super helpful in hooking us up with a rental car and tips on places to eat etc. the Villa was great, well appointed, clean, and in a great spot. Garden like surrounding with tons of birds singing and a view of the golf course and pool. Quick 3 minute walk down to Blue Bays fantastic beach and beachside restaurant and bar. Played a round of golf for only cart fees as a guest of the Villa. If your heading to Curacao go to Blue Bay, and if your going to Blue Bay stay at Joe and Michelle’s Villa I’m sure Joe and Michelle will take excellent care of you too!
