When we first arrived, we were taken aback as the photos are a little more glamorous than the place itself. We also realized that for our 3-week stay to be satisfactory, it was best to rent a car. We’ve adopted a 72-hour rule before judging accommodations (we are full-time travellers) and this place grew on us. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean (and comes with daily housekeeping services). It has a well-stocked kitchen and a gas stove. A washer AND dryer are available on-site. The pool is also spotless. And the bed is super comfortable. And the wi-fi is reliable. Things to be aware of include that warm water is only available in the shower (not in kitchen or bathroom sink), which makes washing dishes interesting! Also, bring mosquito repellant—we found mosquito coils kept them at bay in the mornings on our lovely front porch. The complex needs some TLC (the new owner has some big plans). And the location made it easy to get to downtown, grocery stores and an excellent local beach. We would stay here again if we ever return to Aruba.

Check in was easy. Staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating. I would suggest a car so you can see the whole island and check out the great places to eat. Our fav - West Desk - went 3 times. Aruba water is the best we’ve run across for drinking. Had some great excursions - atv- snorkeling- jet skying- Palm Island and Aqua Windie’s were wonderful. Swam with the sea turtle. Even the big green lizards around the pool were friendly. A couple of hiccups which is no reflection on Wilfred - the lounge chairs are needing some tender loving care and the pool pump was down for a couple of days. So we made them beach days. FYI Baby Beach wins it for us. The only drawback - the wicker living room furniture is very squeaky and not very comfortable to sit in. After a long day in the sun sometimes a comfy chair/couch and some tv time is what you need. But hey we had a great time anyway.

The staff were real friendly and accommodating. Our room was cleaned each day at the time of our choosing. The beds were comfortable and the space was just right for us three. The beach was a 5 minute walk from the vrbo. At this time of year, there wernt many people staying so it was nice and quiet. The pool area was clean with plenty of lounge chairs. We didnt use the BBQ but its available if you want to grill your food. We could adjust our AC and 25⁰ C was comfortable. The only downside was our unit didnt have an oven, which we realized AFTER we bought a frozen pizza! We mentioned it to our onsite manager, Estrelle, and she let us have the keys to the unit next door, which had an oven. They go above and beyond to please you.

Good location, had everything we needed. Chairs, Beach chairs and coolers! We used them everyday! Apartment management very pleasant and helpful. Walked to a few bars and restaurants at surf beach.

Het eerste contact met de gastheren was al super fijn. Ze denken met je mee en genieten zelf mee als jij dat ook doet in hun verblijf. Zelden zulke betrokken eigenaren meegemaakt. En wat een heerlijk smaakvol ingericht huisje. Alles aanwezig, van airco, ventilatoren, genoeg kleerhangers, tot adaptors, föhn, strijkplank, strijkijzer, ruime laden in de badkamer, magnetron en andere apparatuur in de keuken etc etc…koelboxen, strandstoeltjes, niks ontbreekt! Wij hebben het heerlijk gehad en komen zeker terug! Dankjullie wel Wilfred en Eric!!! Groetjes, Joël, Sammy en Suzanne

We stayed at Wilfreds apartment for the second time because it is such a wonderfull and tranquil place. The apartment is clean and nicely decorated. It has everything you need for a perfect stay at Aruba. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Immediately after arrival you feel comfortable and at home. The newly fitted kitchen is well equipped end the beds (very important to us) are good. A nice surprice was the completely refurbished and modernized pool that looks fresh and inviting to go for a swimm or cool down. There are plenty of sunbeds and places to sit down near the pool to enjoy the sun. To us this place is incomparable with the big mass tourism resorts. Feels like home away from home. Thank you again Wilfred for your hospitality and your concern for our well-being during our stay. No doubt that we will come back again. Eric & Monica

Overall our stay was good. The property owner checked in and was very helpful. He made sure everything was all set for our stay and checked in while we were there. The property manager, an very nice woman(I have forgotten her name), I as also very helpful and accommodating. The actual condo was very clean and the cleaning lady came once a day which was great. The only downfalls to this property would be the area was definitely a huge difference from our last stay in Aruba where we stayed on a resort. The landscaping was over grown and the pool was very small and we did not spend much time there. That’s where i felt the pictures did not match the actual property. The area itself was okay but if you are looking for a lot of things to be in walking distance, the area is not the best for that. There is a beach that’s about 8-10 minute walking distance that has a cute little restaurant nearby. We did not swim at that beach because it was not as nice as the other beaches on the island. If you stay at this location you definitely want to rent a car to visit the other parts of the island because it is so beautiful and you will have to walk a ways to see everything. Again, the owner and manager are beyond nice and hospitable. The place was very clean. The cost was very afforadable. The only drawback was the landscaping, the pool and the location.

For our first visit to Aruba, Wilfred's place was the perfect place to call home for a week. Plenty of space to relax, a well-equipped kitchen, swimming pool, and gated parking were all nice touches. Close enough to beaches, dining, and attractions, yet far enough from the tourist spots that you can enjoy a quiet stay. Wilfred checked in regularly by WhatsApp to make sure we were happy. Very highly recommended.

Our stay at Wilfred’s place at Camacuri was amazing. We spent 18 days there. Kitchen was fully equipped. Housekeeping was top notch. Even during the covid times, our stay was hassle free. Social distancing was practiced at the property. Everything from the management to housekeeping, security was taken care of. I would 100% recommended Wilfred’s place. Also he is always available through WhatsApp and told us about so many great places in Aruba. We can’t wait to come back to Aruba again next year!!

We would like to thank Wilfred for his hospitality and his wonderful apartment. He went above and beyond communicating with us to make sure our vacation was the best. The location of the apartment was perfect (a short walk to the beach, a 10 minute bus ride to downtown Oranjestad, and a variety convenience store 1 block away). A very secure gated property with a pool to cool off after a long day. Looking forward to spending a longer time at your beautiful apartment (one month was just not long enough!!) Would have no hesitation recommending this apartment. Thanks Bill & Noreen Porter

Very clean and private getaway! Housekeeping was exceptional and well as management! They helped in making our visit there a very enjoyable time!

The property is beautiful, a little gem tucked into a hidden paradise of its own. There are gates to park within, -and the property has 24 hr surveillance. the room was quaint and felt like Aruba! The staff was so friendly, always serving with a smile-and took time to chat with the tourists about their motherland and the history of Aruba. It felt like being with family for 3 days, (which is how the whole island felt to be honest!) The property ios also situated right in the middle of both sides of the island, which was convenient because each day we circled the entire island. Aruba is tiny, but oh so much to do and so much beauty to see !

Communication with Wilford was good! The man at the front desk was waiting for our arrival and very nice! The apartment was close to the airport. We drove to other beaches and took the chairs and cooler provided. The closest beach was our least favorite. (We drove because it was too hot and long of a walk with beach stuff.) Surfside beach smelled a little fishy and many kids. Baby beach (best beach EVER), eagle and palm beach were awesome- drive there! Our apartment was clean, a/c worked great, we felt safe, and it was filled with all of our needs! We did take clothes to wash, but the washer or dryer we were told was broken. No worries- we washed several items in the kitchen sink. Buy dish soap and paper towels- not provided. They do have tv and free WiFi, but you could only use it in the living area- it didn’t go through in the bedrooms. Our only complaint would be the living room wicker furniture is not comfy at all, but if you want tv or WiFi that’s where you’re forced to sit...Or the front porch- so we did enjoy sitting out there watching the birds and lizards! Despite the minor things, we would definitely stay here again!! It’s a great home base for traveling the beautiful island!!!

john We thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay at the Camacuri residences. The kitchen was well equipped as well as beach chairs and cooler boxes. We enjoyed eating our meals on the front patio in view of the nice pool and gardens. We found the environment could be likened to an oasis in the desert complete with watching the iguanas chasing each other. The staff took care of any problems very promptly. Surfside Beach ,great restaurants and downtown were all an easy walk away. We would not hesitate to return here again in the future. Our host Wilfred was very accommodating.

Camacuri Residence - Really nice place to relax, nice and quite with full set of kitchen stuff. Surprised us, it has room service. Walking distance to Surfside Beach, and downtown area. Overall we had great time there!

Super relaxed, kleinschalig resort. Geen massatoerisme maar het gevoel alsof je een privé ‘hideaway’ op Aruba hebt. Personeel geeft je direct een ‘thuis’ gevoel, alsof we er al jaren komen en iedereen ons al jaren kende. Fantastische tuin met flora en fauna. Natuurlijk het zwembad met leuke zitjes en ligbedden. Huisje D-36 is helemaal up to date, smaakvol ingericht en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt op vakantie. Niet onbelangrijk voor ons: zeer goede bedden! We hebben zelf gekookt en echt alles was in de keuken te vinden. Volgende keer naar Aruba komen we langer genieten. Wilfred, de eigenaar, heeft op korte termijn nog een huurauto voor ons geregeld zodat we het eiland makkelijk konden verkennen. Een echte aanrader wat ons betreft. Bedankt Wilfred voor de hulp en de tips voor ons (te) korte verblijf. Tot volgende keer!
