We greatly enjoyed having this house as our home base during our stay in Aruba. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils, cookware, appliances, and pantry items. There was a grill, beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler and many other conveniences available for our use. The porch offered a fantastic view of the adjoining nature preserve, the ocean, and the gorgeous sunsets.
Jeannine (our hostess) lives nearby, and quickly and pleasantly proved anything that we needed. The home is in a quiet and friendly neighborhood - big change from the high rise hotels and condos at the north end of the island. Mangel Halto beach is about 3 minutes away. We visited 5 beaches on our trip, and Mangel Halto turned out to be our favorite. It was the best for snorkeling, had smaller crowds and had great spots for setting up and spending the day. Our family will certainly stay there again if we get back to Aruba someday.
