Swim miles and miles of the most pristine waters without having to rent a boat. This villa sits 100 feet from Harris Hole one of the best diving spots in the whole island of Curacao. The main house boasts three bedrooms and two baths, completely equipped and decorated in modern Caribbean flair. The kitchen is equipped for even the most discriminating gourmet cook. Detached from the main house, there is also a separate master quarters. The entire villa can accommodate 8 persons in total luxury and comfort with one king size bed, two queen size beds and two single beds. From the infinity terrace you will enjoy an uninterrupted view of the ocean and sky. Swimming in the pool looking over the ocean under a sky lit night is an unforgettable experience. Birds, butterflies, hummingbirds and iguanas surround you in this half an acre ocean-front estate. Coral Reef Villa is located about thirty minutes from the airport and 40 minutes from the Blue Bay golf course or the world famous Willemstad. It’s remote location makes car rental an absolute necessity, but the total tranquility and peace of mind is well worth it. In 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Site committee selected the historic city center of Willemstad—one of just six Caribbean sites chosen—because of its “outstanding value and integrity, which illustrates the organic growth of a multicultural community over three centuries, and preserves to a high degree significant elements.” What can you do in this beautiful ocean paradise? Swim, snorkel, scuba dive, fish from your own backyard, hike the nearby mountains, go horseback riding or simply do nothing and enjoy a spectacular surrounding. Maybe you would befriend one of the friendly neighbors and discover the history of the largest of the Netherland Antilles. Or you could enjoy any of the hundreds point of interests just a few minutes away by car. In Curacao you are almost guaranteed a perfect weather. Curacao is outside the hurricane belt, Tsunami proof, has never in recorded history suffered an earthquake and there are no poisonous animals on the island

MERAVIGLIOSO!
Soggiornato in questa villa per 14 giorni i primi di dicembre, prenotato tramite altra piattaforma. Che dire la casa è spettacolare, la vista mozzafiato. Discesa a mare pazzesca, praticamente abbiamo pescato tutti i giorni ;). Casa dotata di tutti i comfort. Dirke e la moglie, che sono i gestori, sempre molto disponibili. La posizione per noi è stata perfetta, lontano dal caos della città e comunque ci ha permesso di girare perfettamente l'isola. Grazie

Fabulous location, great house for a small group
A group of six spent a week at the house and we had a great time. The caretakers, Inge and Dirk were wonderful. The pool was a fantastic addition. The kitchen was well appointed, which we appreciated as we cooked in a lot. The only recommendations we would make is that most of the beds (the king, the queen and one of the singles) have mattresses that are due for replacement, and one of the screen door sets was missing a panel (I believe this is already on the list of updates to occur). We were able to work around the missing panel problem. Taking care of those two issues would make the house absolutely perfect. Osvaldo was easy to work with and made sure we had all of the information we needed ahead of time. We would absolutely stay at his house again upon a return to Curacao (which is entirely possible as we love Curacao!).

Fabulous home for family
Family of 8, three generations, kids scuba divers, 4 year old loved the pool, grandparents loved having the family with them. Been doing family Christmastime in Caribbean for 40 years or so, and have never enjoyed any stay more than we enjoyed this one. House is 50 feet above ocean, so you hear the sea. Not much else to hear but the birds - very quiet in cul-de-sac. House in fine condition for our arrival - nice introduction and explanation of how things worked by Inge and Dirk, who are available across the street if help is needed. Very nice, helpful, couple. Lots of clothes hangers. Pool is just right for youngsters. Our 4 year old loved it, and looked like a fish for the two weeks. We all enjoyed having it. Getting into the ocean from the house is not hard, but best done when the sea is not running. Use the locked (keys in house) gate past the yellow wall next door (to the northwest). Easy in and out along the coral wall if the sea is not rough. Test the current if snorkeling, before going too far. Can go one way Northwest to the abandoned hotel's beach and walk back to the house, but I found a foul current on my journey there. Worked hard to get to the beach. House is well equipped - plenty of beach towels, kitchen equipment, and all works fine. Bring ground coffee. Grocery store is about 35 minutes away - Centrum - and is well stocked. Beef, pork, chicken, some fish and fresh veggies and fruits. If you can't figure out the Dutch food descriptions just ask someone nearby - most everyone can help, and is willing to tell you what it is. Kids loved the diving from the beach - about the best is right out in front of the house. Enter and exit at the base of the next door steps. Lots of other beach diving sort of nearby (drive to beaches). Local dive shops rent tanks and equipment. Very pristine diving - too far from "town" for boat trips. Get a car - abandoned hotel nearby, that you pass coming and going. Has a little, protected beach, but no chairs. Safe shallow ocean swimming, but not much of a snorkel. Nice shopping in town - use the Renaissance Center's parking lot - gate lifts to let you in - no ticket - free. Handy to the downtown, either side. Floating bridge is something to see. Loved our stay - returning next Christmastime.

How to get there
1. After renting a car at the airport, turn right leaving the airport and follow the road for about 3 kilometers until you get to the roundabout with a large metallic sculpture of an iguana. If you want to go to CENTRUM, a big supermarket, please go to instruction # 6 and follow it. If you prefer Carrefour, you will not turn right at Centrum but continue down the main road for about half a mile and will turn left at the entrance of Sambil Shopping center and you will find it. 2. If you are not going to Centrum or Carrefour, then take your first right at the roundabout towards Westpunt 3. You will drive 12.5 kilometers on this road. You will pass the intersection that takes you to Willibrordus (this is the place where you can observe flamingoes in the wild) but do not take it now. Keep going straight. You will pass Daniel on your right-hand side (this is a great restaurant by the way). You’ll also pass a small town called Tera Cora that has a medium size grocery store on your left-hand side. This store isn’t recommended for your large purchases but convenient for the minor stuff. Shortly after you pass the store you will pass a large gas station on your left-hand side. About 2 km after the gas station you will come to an intersection (fork in the road) where you make a left towards Soto and Lagun. 4. After making a left at the fork, you’ll drive 8.4 kilometers. Make a left immediate after passing the school (there will also be a yellow church on your right-hand side) 5. This is the winding road you’ll drive for about 3.5 kilometers to the house. You’ll pass by an old landhuis named Santa Martha (a “landhuis” is a colonial plantation home that is popular in this part of the island). You’ll also pass by the buildings that comprised the Sunset Waters Hotel. About 0.5 km past the hotel you’ll find the house on your right-hand side four houses past the house that has several tall radio antennas. This will be your home for the next few days. 6. DIRECTIONS TO GO TO CENTRUM, THE BIG SUPERMAKET. When you get to the first round about, the one with the metal iguana, do not turn right, keep going straight. You will come to another roundabout, keep going straight. You will come to a signal light about one mile past the second roundabout, turn right and the grocery store CENTRUM will be on your left hand side. You cannot miss it. Return the same way until you reach the iguana roundabout. Here make a left going towards Westpunt. Follow the directions above 7. If you need groceries after hour there is a small grocery store that carries a lot of things and is opened until 12 midnight. When you leave your house, come to the main road and instead of turning right to go to Willemstad, turn left going towards Lagun. About half a mile on your right you will pass by an old plantation house called Klein Santa Martha. GREAT RESTAURANT. Keep going for about 2 miles and you will come to an intersection. You will find a small supermarket that can supplies your needs. It is usually filled with local people and load music, do not fear, they are all very friendly.
