We were very happy to stay at this property during our recent first visit (1 week total) in Curacao.
Highlights:
- LOCATION for our purposes was excellent; not only being within a quiet gated community with restaurants, a bar, a bakery, spa, etc down at the waterfront (about 4 mins drive from the condo), but also a great mid-point on the coast making it relatively quick to drive to the northern beaches and to drive south to Willemstad.
- VIEW was breathtaking! Being able to stare out over the sea from the swimming pool, and being able to enjoy the vibrant sunsets during dinner time, really allowed us to disconnect from "back home" and appreciate the vacation.
- SPACIOUSNESS was perfect for our group of 4. Rooms were suitable size, made even better by three of the rooms having ensuite bathroom and the fourth room having bathroom directly adjacent. Kitchen and living room were sizeable, and the back patio with lounge area and pool were great for relaxing.
- AMENITIES made our stay very easy, including the dishwasher, washing machine, in-room air conditioning, purified water dispenser, WiFi, TV, 110v outlets, lots of towels, and so on. Lack of microwave wasn't a big deal as we were able to cook everything stovetop or oven or toaster oven.
- INTERACTION with the host (Andreas) was outstanding. I had various questions before, during and after my stay, and Andreas was extremely quick to respond and very courteous.
Other Notes:
- We didn't initially realize that the fourth bedroom is downstairs with only external access, however this ended up working well for us as the "granny suite" for my mother-in-law.
- Also didn't realize that the "Additional Guest Fee" would apply to our group considering we were a group of 4 and the condo has a full 4 bedrooms. That said it wasn't a large amount, and it's probably something I simply overlooked in the rental agreement, and probably something that VRBO itself could improve upon in how they distinguish between the "Sleeps X guests" attribute and the "Additional Guest Fee".
Overall it was an excellent stay and we would recommend this property to any other groups looking for similar highlights. Thank you Andreas for your hospitality!
