This home, Casa MIA, on Bakval in Noord, was beautifully decorated, comfortable, welcoming, and most of all, pristinely clean. The property manager was easy to communicate with and the host, Daniel, was so kind and patient with us. We did not read the house information very carefully and when we had to contact him about a minor issue, he showed up promptly without making us feel like we imposed upon him (even though we fixed the issue before he arrived after reading the house notes more carefully). While for some, it may be only a 5-minute walk to the beach/high rise area, but for us it was too hot to walk as far as it actually is to that area and would have been more like a 15-20 minute walk. We took taxis everywhere except for the local market which was about a 10 minute walk. Everything in the home, from the air fryer to the toaster to the stove top and oven worked perfectly but the ice maker and water dispenser in the refrigerator do not work (no problem for us, there are ice trays in the top shelf of the freezer) and the air conditioning unit makes some noise that took me a little while to get used to. The rest of our party said it sounded like white noise to them. There is no dishwasher in the house but that was no problem for us. Overall this was a great first experience with a VRBO in Aruba and I would most definitely rent from the Marin family again.
