This was our first time to the Carribean as a family. A direct Southwest Airlines flight from Baltimore is ultimately what steered us here. We used Airbnb.com to find this fabulous villa. The pictures showed a modern villa with a pool that could accomodate a minimum of 6 guests. Everything looked good, so we booked it. There's always a bit of anxiety when booking a place based soley on pictures. The second we pulled into the villa, I knew we hit a home run. We were a bit early, yet were greated by the owner who was there with the cleaners to ensure we'd be welcomed with a clean property. While the cleaners finished their work, the owner took the opportunity to make us a drink and we made a plan to meet again when the cleaners had finished, which gave us some time to drive around and get our bearings.

The owner gave us a tour and showed us every detail of the property. Our goal of this trip was to snorkel, experience some beaches and relax. We were perfectly content to do a few snorkeling excursions, sample a few local beaches and wrap up the day just relaxing at the villa. The modern decor was very cool and the owner had clearly made an effort to ensure all of the bases were covered in terms of your needs. TV, internet, etc were all high quality. Aruba is one of two islands who de-saliinate sea water which translates into tap water that is better than bottled water.

There was a slight issue with the freezer. I point this out because these things happen yet the owner was immediately responsive. This was not a big deal to us but I thought it was important to note how attentive the owner was to his guests.

As a family, we discussed that we would definitely stay here or any other property the owner may have should we opt again for a villa. We originally thought about the all-inclusive scenario at the Marriott for example but after this experience, I can't see us staying anywhere but here.

This was our first trip to Aruba and it was a GREAT trip. We were lost driving to the villa, but the owner came to meet us. [Aruba doesn't have street names. Directions are based on landmarks (ie: turn right at McDonalds)].

We were given a cold beverage when we arrived. The bed linen, towels, and beach towels are provided (no wash cloths).

The house was EXACTLY as pictured. Very clean and modern. There were four of us, so we each had our own room & bathroom. Plenty of space. It was good having washer/dryer for the beach towels. We didn't utilize the pool much. The beach is less than 5 min drive.

I would highly recommend this house to anyone. When we were checking out the owner asked if there was anything we didn't like about the house and I honestly couldn't think of a single complaint.

This was the first time to Aruba and is was a great experience. Upon arrival, we called the owner who then met us at the house. We were welcomed with a cold tropical drink and shown around the home, which was very beautiful. There were five of us and the home offered plenty of space for all of us.

The house was exceptional and looked just like the pictures. We started each morning in the pool and worked our way to a local beach. During our stay we BBQ twice and loved the BBQ grill and bar area.

We had one problem with the internet and the owner came over within 15 minutes and took care of the problem. It was exceptional!!!!!!!!!!

We loved every moment of our trip and would highly recommend his house to anyone who has a trip planned to Aruba.

ALSO....everyone needs to kiss Federico the Frog and post a picture. My picture will be coming soon.

We traveled with a large group of 10. Our stay was beyond expectations! Each room had its own bathroom, which was very pleasant. Very luxurious utilized kitchen and a own swimming pool completed the stay for the kids. Unfortunately we only stayed for 2 nights, too short to enjoy the outdoor bar & barbecue. We will definitely stay here for the next time.
At last, but not least a very kind owner who tried his very best to make it as convenient as possible!
