Loved the property, the host was very responsive. Our family loved it!

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

This was the perfect beachfront vacation for our first trip to Curaçao! The location was beautiful, with a walkout patio to the beach. Lots of beach chairs available every day, great snorkeling and swimming. The condo was clean and the perfect size for two couples. Petra was prompt in responding to questions as was her assistant Jacky. Great location to walk to shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

This was our first trip to Curacao and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Communication was superb and although Petra wasn’t available for our trip Jackie was helpful with arrival and showing us around the property. The condo was clean and spacious. As others have said we did not need air conditioning but opened the huge sliding doors to allow the breeze in. We ate out most nights and couldn’t have been happier with the food at all restaurants. We walked to all but Mambo beach. We swam with the turtles and took a boat ride to Klein Curaçao which was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Beach was our own and the covered beach chairs was much appreciated. Sitting on the expansive deck at dusk was spectacular. Not one complaint. We will return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is very comfortable, delightfully close to the little beach, and cooling by the tradewinds meant we seldom used any AC. Several excellent restaurants in walking distance, and the museums etc just a short drive away....when we wanted to leave the super relaxing and quiet front porch and view.

Family of 4, with 2 teenagers stayed for a week over New Years ‘22. Great condo with beautiful art by Nena Sanchez, steps away from the beach that has both a pool and a private lagoon. No need for air conditioning during the day, nice breeze flow through the condo. Petra was very helpful and easily reachable.

We stayed at The Strand for 10 weeks. The location is great, near lots of restaurants, walking distance to downtown. The condo was well equipped and as shown on the VRBO website. Property Manager Petra was very responsive! We will be back.

We had a very good 8 nights stay at the Strands’ Apartment 1E. The owner, Mrs. Petra Spelter, was not available during our stay. Therefore, we didn’t get the benefit of her hospitality. We were happy with the service provided by the substitute manager, Mrs. Jacky Hurtado. She was prompt in responding to our WhatsApp messages during our stay. We agree with other reviewers that this location is perfect. We love the comfort of this clean apartment, secluded private beach, gated parking lot, and round-the-clock security. Below are few comments which may be helpful for future guests. You will need to buy shampoo, conditioner, body soap, extra toilet paper, and laundry detergent. In the kitchen, there was salt, pepper, a bit of sugar, balsamic vinegar, dishwashing detergent and sponge. Check all the cupboards before you head out to buy whatever else you might need, such as paper towel, coffee, cooking oil, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, etc. The pots and pans, silverware, dishes, cups, etc. are of good quality and more than adequate for our group of three persons. The safe is large enough for your laptop. Do remember to ask the manager for the code to use the safe. The cupboard above the refrigerator has appliance manuals, and paper bags which you might need for grocery shopping. There are some snorkel gears in a kitchen drawer, as well as some beach gears above the washer and dryer. You will find the broom in the closet outside the front door, as well as a hand-held broom and dustpan in the cupboard under the oven. The dryer has a condenser unit at the upper left corner, which collects moisture from drying the wet clothes. You should empty the condenser after each drying cycle. When full, the dryer would beep constantly without working properly. The dining area is located outside, not inside. Unlike the breezy beach area, this porch area is very hot and humid. Moreover, you are likely to get bitten by mosquitoes while enjoying the gorgeous ocean view in the dining area. Do bring mosquito spray and/or mosquito coil to enjoy eating outside. Lighting is poor in the bathroom. As some reviewers stated, the bathroom mirrors are hung for very tall people, and quite useless for short people like us. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. We highly
