The home itself is beautiful, especially the updated kitchen and outdoor area. The location was excellent — quiet gated community with a lovely ocean view.However, upon arrival we noticed the sofa had stains all over it, which was disappointing and immediately took away from the first impression. I contacted the host right away regarding the issue. While the home overall is nice, the living room furniture could definitely use updating, and the lower-level bedrooms could feel a bit more inviting.Another concern was the unexpected mention of paying for electricity usage. This requirement was communicated through a message from the host and included in the house book, but it was not disclosed anywhere in the original listing. Thankfully, after I raised the concern, the host apologized and did not charge us for electricity usage.Overall, we enjoyed the property, location, and amenities, but a few improvements and clearer upfront communication would make the experience much better.

Great location, lovely host, and great value. The house could sleep 9, it is walking distance to Mambo beach, and just a short drive from Willemstad, even if you are doing west coast stuff it was 40-50 minute drive from beaches like Cas Aboa, Grote Knip, and such. The house had all the basics, and was clean. The pool was lovely to cool off. There is a side porch and outdoor shower to clean scuba or snorkel gear. The property owner was lovely to deal with and rented us a SUV (7 seater) for our stay. The neighborhood is lovely, and is located in a gated community. You do hear a lot of dogs barking at times but it’s not a deal breaker. You can just see the Punda Vibes fireworks from the upper deck. If you have accessibility issues, the spiral metal staircase to the two downstairs bedrooms or to the lower deck where the pool is located may be difficult. If you are a diver you are walking distance from a great dive site at Marie Pampoen beach as well.
