Kralendijk, Bonaire
Just a short distance from the ocean, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to No Name Beach or the 4-minute drive to Washington-Slagbaai National Park (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).
As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill and air conditioning. Enjoy the free WiFi and TV. Bathroom amenities include towels and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets and a dining table.
This home is everything we wanted - water access, private location, and close to northern dive sites. Great layout for two couples, well stocked and even had a wine fridge! The welcome basket was awesome and the manager was always checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Can't say enough - would definitely stay again!
The Villa is located in a quiet neighborhood, along the coast. Its amenities are excellent and the villa has a private garden with lots of places to sunbathe in all privacy with sufficient shade (under parasols covered with dried palm tree leaves), right by the Ocean. The Villa is located 10 minutes by car from Kralendiyk, where you find all you need (excellent supermarket in town). Only caveats to be aware of: 1) the ocean access is a bit tricky (rocky and some fire coral to stay clear of). It's perfectly fine if you have a good sense of balance. The one big advantage is that you have direct access to pristine coral reef right in front of the property; 2) mosquitoes are part of the evening scene in Bonaire. Bring insect repellent if you attract bugs; 3) a couple of Iguanas love to lounge by the pool and they poop right next to the pool from time to time. Be ready to clean up after them; 4) food is expensive in Bonaire as all items need to be imported from the Netherlands (the island does not produce any agricultural goods). Budget accordingly; 5) you need a car to move around (the villa is not in town, meaning that a car is a necessity).
It is a great place.
Beautiful property. Pictures are not deceiving. Easy to use wash tanks and hanger area for divers. Quiet community. Everything was perfect. We will definitely rent this property again.
We have been traveling to Bonaire every year for our anniversary and this year some of our family finally convinced us that they should be allowed to tag along. Because we were now a party of 5 instead of 2, we had to search for a different place to stay and hopefully this will now be our home every year in the future. For us everything was perfect - the location right on Andrea II, super quiet neighborhood, beautiful home and great hosts. The photos don't really do it justice.
This is a large and airy house with gorgeous grounds. There were only 2 couples at any time during our 1 month stay and the house was great. 3 couples would also work well here. Over that would be great for kids as there is a jack and Jill arrangement for each of the 2 additional rooms. The water here is stunning and the snorkeling and diving are excellent - we knew this area and rented it intentionally for this location. The water access is a bit tricky over the old coral but we did manage to do it regularly without tanks and a few times with tanks. I should mention that I am of a certain age and have 1 very bad knee that is about to be replaced. So younger more agile folks would fare better, perhaps. Overall, this was an excellent stay in a lovely house.
The house was in pristine condition, a wonderfully cool swimming pool after hot days. Sunset view at the beachfront amazing, and diving/ snorkeling possible just off the beach. We had a great time staying 2 weeks as a family.
What a beautiful home! It was a perfect fit for our family of 5, and we loved the design, spaciousness and amenities. Outdoor living spaces are stunning and offer room to entertain, play, swim, lounge in the shade, do yoga in between excursions. The pool was just updated to a salt-water pool and has a lounge-type ledge along one side. Snorkeling off of the backyard is incredible and we loved the variety of fish and turtle spottings. It was ideal for our older kids who don't need a very sandy beach access. The property manager, Dick, was super helpful on our arrival and departure-- met us there to show us the home, and was available to answer any questions in between times. The owners graciously supplied our fridge with a lovely variety of food and drinks so we didn't have to rush out to the store when we arrived. We loved the location-- close enough to town, restaurants and grocery, but tucked away in a lush part of the island. We will be back!
This property exceeded our expectations and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s gorgeous and literally has everything and is located in a safe and central location. Our vacation purpose was to dive and this property is set up perfectly for shore diving right off the beach. There are two outdoor sinks at both ends of the property so when we came up from the beach or home from driving to another location there was a sink ready for our equipment. It’s crazy spacious, light, airy and has a ton of outdoor living space. We ate outside at both tables every night…one located close to ocean and one by pool. So many outdoor lounge spaces both in the sun and shade. We utilized the kitchen daily (as we weren’t that impressed with the restaurants on the island) and it had everything we needed. The property felt like our own private resort…we didn’t want to leave! Niels was super fast with responding and was extremely helpful with island recommendations…we appreciated his quick response as some of our questions were time sensitive. The caretaker was wonderful…helpful and available! Can’t say enough positive things about this property…I could go on and on! Thank you Niels for allowing us to fall in love with your gorgeous property and Bonaire!
We had an absolutely fantastic week at Villa The Keys last week! It really could not have been better. Communication with Niels prior to our stay was excellent - he is extremely responsive to questions. When we arrived, Dick met us at the Villa and showed us around - he was also responsive to our very few needs during our visit. The property is beautiful and amazingly well maintained. Shore entry for snorkeling or diving very near to Andrea II is quite easy and the conditions there are great. We snorkeled on this part of the reef every morning and were not disappointed! We never felt the need to go anywhere else. We will absolutely return to Villa The Keys!
