❤ Exceptional oceanfront vacation ✔

Beautiful home and location! Diving and snorkeling onsite. Kittie was so quick to respond to requests and any issues during our stay. All the bedrooms have air conditioning which was much needed. The common areas had great ocean breezes but it does get warm mid day. We had an ant issue but Kittie was quick to try to resolve it. The ocean views were breathtaking!

This is a beautiful home in a perfect location. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. There is nothing we would change. It was perfect!

The property was excellent. Fully stocked with everything we need! Host was very nice and communicated during the week. Diving was great right off the back of the house! Gorgeous view! Ostracods were amazing on night dive!

Great property with an ideal location. The outdooor areas were lovely for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The beds were comfortable with the sound of the ocean from all windows. The hosts were excellent with communication communication

We had a great stay. The highlight was endless snorkeling right off the property!

Exceptional home and service from start to finish Gorgeous waterfront villa - watch turtles, dolphin and fish frolicking from your pool or Deck chair. Loads of niceties like coolers, snorkel gear and kitchen gadgets! Absolutely want to say - best home I’ve rented yet! Thank you!

The house was significantly better than advertised and I would highly recommend staying. It’s in a fantastic location.

Excellent vacation!

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Bonaire at Casa Esmeralda, communication on our arrival was easy and the timing of check in was great for the arrival time of flights to the island. We were 7 family members including 2 children and we all had an amazing time. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space for us to spread out inside and outside, with welcome shady spots to enjoy the outdoors as well as the pool, and the view of the stars from the house was great. The house also was very well equipped with snorkeling equipment and other water toys. Beds were comfortable and the AC worked very well when we used it at night. It was our first time shore diving and proximity to many of the best sites in the island was incredible, with one site right off the back of the house and many others a 5-10 minute drive or less, with a slightly longer drive to the northern sites (we saw turtles, octopus, tarpon, a spotted eagle ray, eels and more--both on snorkel and diving outings). We utilized Flamingo Diving which is essentially next door. The sand beach by the Kite City Food truck was about a 10 minute drive and perfect for the kids to play and snorkel, with a reef teeming with eels and fish a short walk or swim away from the beach. We ended the trip with a sailing trip through Solobon sailing, highly recommend them as well. Only recommendation is we only had one four wheel drive car, recommend only getting those as to go to the national park in the north it's needed.

This was our first trip to Bonaire with our 1 year old grandson. We took turns watching him while others dove. It was a great spot for the family. The pool was key. It had shade in parts of it during most of the day which was very nice for a baby. I did several dives off back - the easiest way to get in was to go through the adjacent (empty) lot. I used the back rinse area basically to rinse off sand but used the rinse tanks at Belmar (Buddy Dive) to clean the gear each day. There are 2 closer shops (Flamingo and Dive Friends Bonaire) that would be a little more convenient to this house. (I didn't do enough research prior to the trip.)
