We recently stayed at this house (5 adults, 4 children between the ages of 5 and 11). It was wonderful! The balcony/pool area with the view of the ocean was just unbelievable. In the morning we sipped coffee looking out at the blue water, while the iguanas greeted us in the nearby trees and birds chirped all around us. At night, we took pictures of the gorgeous sunsets and enjoyed the breeze in the open air living spaces. Everything about the house, and the area it's located in, was extremely peaceful. We had originally planned to stay near Jan Thiel, but then made the switch to this house. What a great decision! We were closer to the most beautiful beaches on the island and far away from the busier areas closer to Willemstad.
There are a few things I didn't realize about this house until we arrived. First, two of the bedrooms and one bathroom are located in the back of the house. To get to the bedrooms you must go down the outside stairs near the pool. The bedroom doors have their own separate outdoor entrances, so they aren't ideal for small children or elderly visitors. The outdoor stairs are also next to the pool and can become slippery from splashed water. The layout worked great for us, but is definitely worth mentioning when renting for a family.
Next, we read there was an oven in the description and had planned a lot of cooking. The oven is actually a convection oven that is part of the microwave. We made it work, but be aware the cooking space is smaller than a regular oven.
When we arrived, one of the air conditioners in the bedrooms didn't seem to be working properly. I reached out to our host and they sent a crew to look at it the very next morning. I was shocked when shortly after, a brand new air conditioner was delivered and installed. The host was extremely attentive and every person who came to work on the house was friendly and helpful. Coral Estate also offers on-site Covid testing, which made getting our 3rd day antigen test and our tests to return home very quick and easy.
I highly recommend this house! We had the BEST vacation!
