This quiet, modern, glass-walled, the villa is bright, very spacious, airy and located just 20 steps from the crystal blue ocean waters edge. This villa is perfect for ocean lovers & particularly divers, as we are less than 70 steps form Dive friends Bonaire; yellow submarine, the island flag ship dive center. There is a large pool located in the back of the Villa.

The Villa has 3 bedrooms set up with queen sized beds. Since an additional single bed ca be installed in the master bedroom, you can sleep 7 in 4 beds. A baby crib and high chair are available. The washing machine is inside the spacious living area.

There are 2.5 bathrooms. The master bedroom has its own private complete bathroom. The second largest complete bathroom is shared, communicating with the middle room and the third larger room. Both bathrooms have walk-in showers. There is a 3rd separate toilet.

There is also an outdoor shower on the patio for rinsing after a swim or dive. The hammock & rinse sinks are very appreciated form our divers community.

Dive Friends, a PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Center that caters to divers of every skill level and age, is less than 50 meters away. As a resident of our villa, you will enjoy a 10% discount on diving services. Of course, you may also step out of the villa and go straight into the ocean for breathtaking shore diving right out of your front door! The house reef is called something special.

You will enjoy a nice welcome basket upon arrival, there is coffee & creamer for the first few days as well as toilet paper. There is basic body soap, shampooing, dish soap and a few pods for the laundry as well.


The sea life is amazingly diverse right in front of the house and fish can be fed by hand in just 4 feet of water! If you swim 35 meters out from the shore of the house, the bottom drops off quite fast and turns into a wall dive pretty quickly!

Magnificent soft hued sunsets are the evening norm. The quality of the light is magical in Bonaire & can be enjoyed from the patio with a glass of wine.

If you like eating fresh local fish, just walk a 100 meters down to the fishing docks and befriend a local fisherman.

The front patio view is fantastic just few boats on moorings and pastel colored sunsets, all framed by coconut trees with the backdrop of Bonaire’s white beached, uninhabited Klein Island.

For a few dollars a local will ferry you across the 1000 meter wide Bay to Klein Island where you can lazily beach comb & explore its desolate and untouched white sandy beaches.

For the kids, there is a pool behind the Villa, and the beach in front of the house has no surf, (it’s the leeward side of the island) and no strong current to fight as well.

For exploring the island, a rental car or truck, quad, scooter or bikes can be rented to enjoy the warm sunshine and predominant trade winds. We usually rent trucs from Avis they have great price for ours guests please mentioned that you are guest at villa trepanier or bonaire property rentals BV Scooters are safe as no one drives very fast and there is virtually no traffic, and no traffic lights on the island.

Please reach out, as It's always a pleasure for me to talk about the villa & Bonaire.

Discount of 10% at Dive Friends bonaire.


The vrbo satellite location is a tad inaccurate as the villa is right on the ocean (see Google Earth). And 50 meters south of dive friends bonaire yellow submarine.

For windsurfers, wingfoilers and windfoilers, Lac Bay is a 20-minute ride from the Villa. One of the best locations in the world to get your ride windsurfing. Bonaire’s Lac Bay produces many of the top pro windsurfers on the planet. Lac Bay’s azure clear water, flat and shallow, along with its friendly white sandy bottom and famously consistent sea breezes, make it the ideal place to perfect your jibes and freestyle moves. That’s why it's called Jibe City.

You may also enjoy kitesurfing and renting SUP’s (stand up paddle boards) for exploring Lac Bay. Every time we go on the water, we see amazing new representatives of the diverse collection of wildlife in the ocean.

The majority of the island is undeveloped with the north end protected as a national park. The island is home to wild donkeys, goats, iguanas & flamingos which have been surviving on the islands since it was first “discovered” (while inhabited by local Indians) by the Spanish over 500 years ago. When you drive around, make sure to bring leftovers and feed the wild donkeys and goats roaming about.

Bonaire is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean. It is peaceful and the antithesis of a tourist trap, unlike many other islands.

Enjoy your vacation !

    We had an amazing 2 week stay at Villa Trepanier. As advertised, the villa was oceanfront (there is a one way road b/w villa and shoreline) with amazing views & sunsets. Edithe (owner) was responsive and helpful with our booking and early questions. Our local host Pierre met us at the villa on arrival and was tremendous!! Always friendly, immediately responsive answering any and all questions throughout our stay! We did have an issue which could have been a problem, but he had it taken care of almost immediately. The Villa was clean, simply but efficiently appointed with comfortable furniture and beds. There was excellent snorkeling right out the front door and for divers, dunk tanks right at the home to rinse / clean gear. Overall, very nice villa, in an excellent location (was literally 8 min walk into town!), with a pleasant responsive owner and tremedous local host!! We will certainly try to stay here again on our next trip to Bonaire!!

    Five-Star Stay in Paradise! We had an unforgettable experience at this stunning VRBO rental in Bonaire. The location was absolutely perfect—just minutes from the heart of Kralendijk, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and privacy. Whether we were heading out for a dive, grabbing dinner in town, or exploring the island, everything was incredibly convenient.The view from the property was nothing short of spectacular. Each morning we woke up to the shimmering turquoise waters of the Caribbean and ended our days with breathtaking sunsets right from the patio. The outdoor space was ideal for relaxing with a drink, reading a book, or simply soaking in the scenery.Inside, the home was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The hosts clearly care about their guests’ comfort, and it showed in every detail—from the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen.We can’t wait return!

    Our stay at Villa Trepanier was exceptional, from the moment we arrived with direct service from our property manager. The location was ideal directly across from the beach with beautiful sunsets, and easy access to the town center. This villabhad all the amenities we needed inside and out, and it was extremely comfortable with a spacious open layout and natural lighting. All the beds and seating were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well supplied for all of our cooking needs. We wouldn’t change a thing, as this lovely villa greatly contributed to one of our best vacations ever.

    This was our 6th trip to Bonaire. We've stayed at condos and some very nice houses. Vila Trepanier stands out for it's close in location and on the water. The house is well appointed and provided coffee and some goodies which are always appreciated when one arrives too late to go shopping on day one. The property manager Pierre also stocked the refer with a few breakfast items at our request. As divers, the close proximity of the Dive Friends shop was really nice. Hard to beat the view out the front door!

    This is our 6th trip to Bonaire. My husband & I took 2 new divers with us & we needed a bigger place than our normal rental. I chose this unit based on size & location. Overall, it was fine. The unit was clean, open & bright. It is on ocean front & a 15-min walk to town. All appliances worked & there were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, condiments, etc. Furniture was fine & TVs/internet worked. VRBO description says “washer & dryer” but there was no dryer. Easy walk to Yellow Submarine dive site. However, I was disappointed to be told on arrival that we were limited to a certain power. I understand conserving energy & had there been a request when we arrived, or signage in the unit, asking us to conserve energy we would've complied. But we were told we had to use less than 300 per the meter or get charged extra (after already paying a lot for this rental for a week). Sadly, I developed an ear infection & couldn't dive the 2nd half of the week, so I was in the unit much of the day while the rest of my party was out diving. We came in just under 300 - but we were militant about turning off the AC & lights. I often sat in the heat while the other divers were away. It took away from our fun.Also, though we liked being able to walk to town, we didn’t like being on the main street with so much traffic & noise. The gardens were beautiful, but we couldn’t see the ocean or sunset from the unit & had to cross the street & sit on the wall, which wasn’t super relaxing.

    We absolutely loved our two-week stay in Villa Trepanier! If you have a family of four, it's a terrific size. My wife and I had our own bedroom, and each of our kids did, as well, which made life nice for the extended trip ;) The location is excellent! It's right on the main waterfront street where you can easily walk down to the restaurants and shops. We did this most nights after 6 or so when the breeze kicks in and makes it a very pleasant stroll :) You can literally just walk across the little street, and dive or snorkel and see tons of fish which we did, as well. Pierre, the property manager, was very responsive, and did a terrific job throughout our stay! Edithe, the owner, also is excellent with communication, and making sure your stay goes smoothly! I highly recommend this property!!!

    The VRBO is in a great location, right across from the water, near a dive shop, and in walking distance to the restaurants and downtown. The outside area to clean dive equipment and the locked storage area to hang dry the equipment was awesome. The sitting area and dining table were an excellent place for us to hang out and play games. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of dishes and other necessities. Pierre (the property manager) was extremely helpful, met us to check in after we landed, and provided really useful information about completing forms in advance of arrival. The only negatives are - the second bedroom lighting was minimal and it was difficult to see in the evening/night in that room. We were surprised that there is a charge for power (over a certain amount), but we did not exceed it during our stay as we ensured that the a/c was off when we left the apartment each day. Overall, the apartment was very nice and we would stay again if we go back to Bonaire.
