Kas Mai - Original Bonairian Home in middle of beautiful Kunuku

This was our 6 trip to the island and first time at this beautiful secluded quiet comfortable place.You can literally spend the whole time just sitting outside at the porch looking and listening to the surroundings. We will definitely be back. Would like to mention that this place is wonderful for 2 people but definitely not for kids.

First, I want to say how lovely and responsive Margreet (owner) was. And the house was fine but it just didn't work that well for us for 2 main reasons: 1. we read at night and the lighting was so dim it was impossible in both the LR and BR. Derek,from the manager's office at Caribbean Lofts, came at our request and replaced all of the bulbs with brighter ones (wall sconces and 1 overhead light only.) That helped a lot. Also, ceiling fans would be SUCH an improvement. It was hot and the plastic floor fans had cords/limits and were loud. BR is on a lower level through a dark hall and into a room with one window looking out underneath the porch; bathroom was on main level. Not a huge deal but kind of a bummer.Also, please put a welcome/info book together for how to work appliances (dishwasher was a mystery; tv had multiple remotes; checkout instructions for trash, where to leave key, etc.)Nice wood floors, well appointed kitchen. No table ; minimal furnishings overall.Other people noted friendly neighbors but not our experience; we wondered if they didn't care for having travelers so close? Polite but clear in the body language. The outdoor shower was very nice after a day in the ocean. Bed was comfortable.Beware if you have small kids or anyone with mobility issues-the porch (which you have to enter from) is about 5' off the gravel with no railing. Steps are oddly high and uneven in their heights. I don't want to be unkind-the house is fine, just not great.

Very nice stay, lovely house with beautiful garden in a remote neighbourhood. Margreet is an excellent host, very communicative and easy-going.

Kas Mai is a lovely, tranquil hideaway in Bonaire. It's up the hill, about 10 min drive from the centre of town, tucked away in a small cluster of houses. While you need to drive to the beach, the cottage is set in a beautiful garden, quiet setting, very private. Well equiped, charming little place for a quiet wet away. Restaurants, groceries and oh yes the ocean is very near by. Natalie the property manager is friendly and helpful and just next door. Note that this in a wooden area, so bring mosquito repellent/coils to ensure you can enjoy dinner in the garden or an evening beverage on the fabulous back deck. There is a mosquito net in MBR but we did not need it. Recommend sandals or flip flops for the rocky landscaping, and you will want water shoes for all beaches. We are already planning our return!

We loved our stay at Kas Mai. The grounds are lovely (tons of birds!), the kitchen well stocked, tons of natural light, very comfortable, everything you need.

My wife and I spend 8 nights at Kas Mai and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It started with great communication with Margreet who shared valuable tips like car rental and directions weeks before our stay. Then there was Nathalie, the neighbor of Kas Mai who manages the property and who is very kind, helpful and resourceful. Great tips on where to eat best or buy the best pastries and bread (the real Dutch Bakery, just a few streets away). The house itself is very homely and has everything you'll need. Great bed and comfortable bedroom with AC, great kitchen and nice outside breakfast and seating areas. Also excellent showers, one outside and one in the bathroom. In summary: great value for the money and we'll come back!

We had a great time at Kas Mai, it was perfect for the two of us! The kitchen had everything we needed, there was excellent wifi, and the beds were comfortable. Nathalie made sure there were some supplies in the fridge when we arrived, which was lovely. We also liked the location: Kas Mai is located in a small settlement away from the road. There are houses nearby but the house is on the edge and orientated towards the wilderness so you have a lot of privacy without being isolated, and you can admire all the wildlife and birds around the house. In short, highly recommended and we would love to come back again!

It was hard to honestly review this home, on the one hand, it is a really great location, very quiet with lots of birds, lizards and donkeys. On the other hand it is actually a one bedroom (not two as listed) with a bunk bed in the area outside of the bedroom. In reality this would not be an issue except that there in no glass and no screens in the windows and patio doors on the main floor so there are lots of mosquitos that come in at night. In the bedroom there is air conditioning and mosquito netting on the bed so not too much of an issue. But in for the bunk bed there is no air and no netting so my daughter was bitten all night every night. This is a good place for a couple but not if you need two beds. On the plus side when we arrived there was beer, wine and eggs in the fridge and the kitchen is well stocked with spices etc. so great hosts just need screens. I rated it as 3 stars because of the location, but we would not stay again due to the sleeping arrangements and mosquitos.

We stayed at Kas Mai for 3 weeks in January/February 2018 and will definitely be going back. Prior to our stay communication from Mark was excellent with lots of information. On arrival, we were met by Nathalie who lives next door and during our stay Nathalie was always on hand if needed and very friendly and helpful. A lovely touch was the fridge stocked with essentials and we could enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda after a long days travel! The private location is peaceful and beautiful but only a few minutes from town. The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped and really felt like a home from home for us. Highly recommended!

It was our first visit to Bonaire and we loved it! The house is lovely and in great condition. Kas Mai is located at a tranquil and endearing place. Nevertheless, the city, the beach and national park are very close. The house is well equipped and everything is very well maintained, be it in the kitchen, towels or sheets, etc. The reception by Nathalie is very cordial and she is always approachable and helpful. Mark and Margreet provided us with many tips and information in preparation of our vacation. We found a great address to buy fresh fish and cooked a lot ourselves, but there was also delicious food when dining out. It was a wonderful stay in Kas Mai ! Mona und Andreas
