Villa Maya - Ocean View, Relaxing Pool and Garden, Spacious Well Equipped Home

Beautiful views! Awesome pool!

The location and grounds of this property are lovely. The pool overlooking the ocean is absolutely stunning. The actual house is very nice. We enjoyed several gorgeous sunsets on the balcony upstairs. I don't know how you could ask for a better view. We spent the evenings playing cards outside overlooking the ocean. Very peaceful. The reason for the negative review: the kitchen is pitifully appointed: one towel and a sponge provided to clean kitchen, nonstick pans were beyond use (flaking, scratched, warped) no wine opener...lids and pans didn't match up, several of the plates were chipped..so on and so forth. The listing states that the kitchen is well equipped, it is not. If you plan on cooking anything, this is not the place for you.The other reason for the lower rating is that we were told we had a generous electricity budget. When we asked about the cost of running the AC during the day, the agent told us it would be around an additional 100. We were charged an additional 270. I would have enjoyed a little more transparency.

The pictures don't do Villa Maya justice. Its a great place with an awesome view overlooking the water and Klein Bonaire. Great pool deck too.

Great location, super ocean view, well equiped house. Super communication and support by staff of Island Time Vacation Rentals

First, Kristen, the property manager was more than helpful and accommodating. Any questions I had were swiftly responded to with courtesy and helpfulness. She organized a special birthday cake for my daughter, and it was delivered exactly on the day needed. Second, WOW. This house is incredible and exactly what our family needed; all separate sleeping quarters—divided with two up/two down—each has its own en-suite. No bathroom sharing is something of luxury! The infinity pool, outdoor patio seating, lounging, and dining area with gas grill was spectacular. The garden flourished with beautiful vegetation, colorful parrots, hummingbirds, and iguanas. All towels were provided for outdoor use, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the outdoor time we could get. Each day was filled with snorkeling, scuba diving, and exploring. The outdoor shower and two gear-washing stations with storage for our equipment exceeded our expectations! Each night, we retreated to this paradise home in its quiet and secluded little neighborhood. Definitely recommend and we would book again should we be fortunate enough to get back to Bonaire.

This is one of the best VRBOs I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. It was light, bright, and airy with stunning views. I loved being a few minutes outside of town. It was perfectly peaceful and gorgeous. Downtown Kralendijik is just a short drive away. Plenty of beaches and snorkel spots super close to the villa.

My family and I spent one week here. I am writing an honest review of this rental and if I returned to Bonaire I would not stay here again. Positives of this rental: The most amazing aspects of this house are the grounds and the pool. The grounds are breathtaking with an amazing view of the ocean. The pool was sparkling and very clean. We even had a resident iguana that took a swim every morning. Negatives: The description of the house says recently renovated. In my opinion the house needs a complete renovation. The tiles are brown stained and cracked. The toilets would work and then not work. You can’t run two showers at once as one of the showers will be cold. The towels and bedding is stained (I have pictures but unable to post). My daughter’s bedding looked like it was blood stained. The kitchen is not stocked well with storage and corning ware. The house could benefit from a complete paint job. We did have problems with ants and Karen did rectify the ant problem immediately. My air conditioner broke and woke me up in the middle of the night because it was pouring water out of the unit. In my opinion, not worth $295 per night plus all the additional VRBO fees and extra per person charges. You can find a much better rental in Bonaire for this price. I hope this helps as I hate writing negative reviews.

We vacation each year with another couple and have rented numerous properties in the Caribbean, Villa Maya is by far the best we have encountered- a perfect set up with 2 en suite bedrooms/bathrooms with king size beds. The pool and outdoor space was superb, and the views breathtaking. A great location and so nice of an area we actually met with a realtor while there to discuss property in the subdivision. Kristen and Karen were attentive to every need/question. We would highly recommend this property for the perfect Bonaire vacation!

And, Kristen and Karen were very responsive and helpful -- both with respect to the accommodations and with familiarity with other services on Bonaire.
