A real gem close to the rough coast!

Ahhh what a wonderful experience my husband daughter and I had!!! I think when visiting Aruba for so many years with our time share I wanted to really experience ARUBA and get a taste of what it feels like to live there !!! They’ve done a beautiful job decorating this location ! There is sooooooo much to seee it’s really surreal! Everything from the ambiance of the windchimes, decor, wild life , and the local furry friends- I just loved it. I was beyond impressed with the layout of the grounds - the pictures DO NOT do it justice. Every morning I would rush to get up to open the doors and just take it allllllll in! I think once you stay here you will know EXACTLY what I’m saying !! Janine and her husband were sooooooo amazing and accommodating! Any and every issue had was addressed immediately…they even came to find us as we navigated finding the home for the first time !!! Genuinely- it felt like home … like we didn’t want to leave. I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels and a very modern time share … but this was a delightful experience. It’s almost impossible to articulate the way this air b and b sparks your senses but I promise you won’t regret it if you’re looking for a taste of culture and simplicity.

The postal address on the rental is not easy to find. I would prefer to use geographical coordinates to get there.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is an awesome place to stay, the hosts were very helpful and available throughout our stay.

Loved having the entire pool and yard to ourselves. So close to the trails on the wild side of the island.

It was very peaceful and quiet. we have a gender reveal their it was amazing we all have fun, and will becoming back.

Everything was amazing! Host went above and beyond to make sure we had great directions and special touches. It was so quiet and relaxing. Close to the park and middle of the island to make going anywhere not too far.

Let me first say this is not a resort, but if you are into hiking, exploring, roughing it a little, then this is your place. You will find the need to rent a car as the home is closer to the rugged coast and in the middle of the island in Santa Cruz. Recommend four wheel drive. Host are very accommodating and extremely communicative. This is our second time in Aruba, the first time at a resort and the second time at this little gem. We enjoyed our second trip so much more and saw much more of the island this time. You have a view of the rough cost, ocean and sunrise every morning. PROS - free WIFI, private pool, large bar area, great location, with car you can get to any spot on the island in 30 minutes. Outside shower separate from the main living area. Stove, fridge, microwave, utensils and cookware. Plenty of outside chairs. Cooler to take to the beach along with towels and beach towels. Also you can save on bottled water, we bought a few and refilled from the tap, the water on Aruba is one of the cleanest in the world. Also , TV with cable. The outside area is amazing. Our 8 day stay was cheaper than one night in the better all-inclusive resorts. CONS - No washer and dryer. But not a problem for us, we just rinsed our clothes in the sink and hung them on the line. Next time we will pack lighter.In closing this was perfect for my wife and I. Really nice for two people or a small family. If we go a third time we will definitely stay here again.

The location is a bit out of the way, but we wanted to be closer to the island wilderness. What a perfect setting for this. Ocean view and just a 20 minute hike to Andicuri Beach on the north coast. Janine was great and we had full use of the outdoor space during our stay..

Nice place . Host and her family very nice. Pool was always clean.

It's out of the norm of city life......it's secluded, private and quiet. Sunrises and sunsets, having the private pool is so cool!!!

We spent 4 nights here. Finding the home was a bit difficult cuz it is rural. We got lost contacted Janine and she jumped in her car and found us. How wonderful is that service The location is beyond beautiful they have this location so set up for large partys that it was way more than what two people would need - the outside living space is just gorgeous !
