The location was terrific, the house while big has lots of potential but is worn and not well maintained. Examples: over half the light bulbs in every bathroom were burned out. All toilet room dispensers were broken. The towels were stained and several had holes. The kitchen had limited dishes and silverware. Didn’t even stock salt & pepper. There are no written instructions many things that would have been helpful such as for getting TV service. Again, the location was perfect.

So many things wrong with this building We understand that there are future renovations or demolition coming but the property is not being maintained at all and it certainly is not worth near what the nightly rate we were charged VRBO will be hearing from us

Home is great for a large group. Plenty of space for guests. Property is clean and staff are great. Property is old and does need some maintenance so don’t expect everything to be perfect - some faucets leak , carpets could be cleaned - minor stuff. Overall I would recommend for a large group as long as you’re not too picky and can deal with items that come up in an older home. The location on the beach right in front of snorkeling location is top notch.

Location was awesome. Property needs a lot of work. Aruba over all is the Happy Island.

My family and I had a wonderful time in Aruba. The location of this property was fantastic. The house was dated but we didn't spend a lot of time inside. We did cook most of our breakfasts, a few lunches and one dinner the rest of the time we ate out at the wonderful restaurants in Aruba. While we were at the house we spent the most of our time in the ocean and the pool area. The snorkeling in the ocean was all you could ask for. We noticed that a lot of ships brought people to our location for snorkeling. The beauty of it was that we didn't have to pay to go on a snorkeling tour.

This property is luxurious and located right on the beach! The house is situated in the Island's best snorkeling location. If you are looking for a sandy beach, Arashi is within a three-minute walk. The property easily housed our entire family and we had plenty of space to hang out...whether we were inside or outside. It has its own pool which was also great with so many children. This is one if the nicest beach front properties for rent in all of Aruba. The pool area also has plenty of shade for those that need some time out of the sun. They had masks and snorkels as well as a variety of pool floats. They also had a kitchen in the pool area with a refrigerator which was great for keeping adult beverages! Our family had the best time and I would highly recommend this property if you have a large group or family. The house is less than 20 minutes from the airport and had plenty of parking for our entire group. The kitchen was large enough for our group...though we only used it for breakfast and a few lunches. There is also a washer and dryer so many of our guests did their laundry before heading to the airport. So many amenities and features! Best location, right on the beach, beautiful sunsets...the PERFECT PARADISE!

Let me start off by saying the location is incredible. We really loved having the beach right outside the house! Careful tho, wear your shoes, it’s not all beach, you walk through some spiky spurs, thorns and plants walking down to the Beach area, the photos are very dated from the current state of the house. We had a full house which included two babies under 9m, one toddler 2.5 yrs and an 84yr old. Warning: the only stair case to get down to the pool area is a spiral stair case, I ended up having to book a secondary rental down the road for my grandmother to stay at with my uncle because it was not realistic for her to stay there. There is a glass gate to the top of the stairs, but if you have small children you MUST keep an eye on them. The second floor balcony glass banister is stunning but it’s loose, keep the kids far away from the bbq and balcony area (we were warned about this upon first meeting property manager that this was an issue in the past) 5 out of the 8 days we were there, the AC in the main living area stopped working (which is another reason I had to move my grandma, it got very hot) managers got ac people there who stated they could not fix it within the duration of our trip. We had some issues with bugs in the kitchen which the management had pest control out there the next day. The toilets backed up, upper floor could not flush for a day, they did get people out there eventually. Unfortunately it is not well maintained with water damage and broken lights. Another way to get down from the front door to the pool is going around the house, but the grate at the top of that walk way is rusted and missing slats, I had a guest slip into it and had to get a tetanus shot due to the rust. The pool bar drain does not work, we had to scoop out dirty water from the bar area with a bucket when the hosts said they weren’t sure how to address the issue. There’s free electric in the master bedroom, we had to move the toddler out of that room because it was unsafe PROS: the location is beautiful, the pool is very large, it came with floats, snorkels (which we left a few behind for future guests), the second kitchen down by the pool area is very handy when making lunch. OK for a large ADULT family. Managers OK with gatherings. The dated decor did not bother us at all. Basic Safety updates and regular maintenance would benefit this property and it would almost be worth the asking nightly rate. Update to listing needed. Managers were very nice

A beautiful location, took my whole family here we had 16 people and had an amzing time. I would have appreciated better initial communication on how to check in or get into the building. However once we were actually inside and met the housekeeper our host was always available and helpful for any and all of our concerns . We will definetly come back!
