Great view, owners, location and property on non-touristy end of island.
The best, is, of course, the view. The owners provided every conceivable convenience and amenity to enjoy the home. They are perhaps the most attentive and involved hosts we have ever encountered.The house is older, but has been well updated. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable . Kitchen is smallish, but generous outsideThere is endless space to gather together, or find seclusion. Furnishings were nice and generally kid-friendly. The grounds were wonderful, well furnished and maintained.No beach is truly private in Aruba, but as a practical matter…this one is, although the public beaches a mile or two away were more inviting. Baby Beach is wonderful especially for families with small children wanting a sheltered ocean experience.The site is a bit remote. Mostly of the locals, for the locals, aside from ocean front properties. Seemed very safe, as we felt everywhere in Aruba.Aruba is more like Arizona surrounded by some very nice beaches than a Dutch version of Hawaii. It is unequipped for rain, which we had. This property was not immune to the problems of island aging infrastructure. Aruba was a petro-boom town from the ‘20’s until the 1980’s when the massive refinery ceased operations . The country still hopes to resurrect it. If reminders of the world’s reliance on fossil fuels ruins your every day…this may not be the vacation for you.Arubans seemed to us to be the most genuinely friendly people ever, for an economy that does the Faustian deal for tourism.
