Our stay was amazing! Arnold was a great host, and he was very responsive to any questions we had. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for. The villa is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. The location in relation to one of the best underrated beaches on the island (Baby Beach) is spectacular, it’s only a 5-10 min walk or a couple of minutes by car. We would love to stay again whenever we return to Aruba.

Wonderful! This place is the absolute best way to do Aruba. So close to Baby Beach and Rogers Beach, and leave all the tourists behind. We were by ourselves so often on pristine Auba coastline that it almost felt like a private island. Ask Arnold for dinner recommendations and you cannot go wrong.

10 out of 10! When we go back to Aruba someday, this is where we will stay. Arnold was fantastic to work with and his property is beautiful. I've stayed in a lot of rental homes over the years but this one was by far the best. It was like our own little resort. It is in the quieter part of the Island, away from most of the busy resorts. We really liked this. We rented a car and anytime we were up in the North part of the Island or Oranjestad, we couldn't wait to get back to our home in San Nicolas. We tried many beaches and our favorite was Baby Beach, 5 minutes away. We usually drove there so we didn't have to lug all of our stuff. Make sure to snorkel in the "snorkel lane", which if looking towards the Ocean is to your upper left. It is like a lazy river for snorkeling. This home was so well stocked. From paper towels to toilet paper to beach towels. I highly recommend renting here! You will not regret it!

Best stay ever

This is the best place we have ever booked for our family. The host had everything you could think you might need, the house was so clean, and the outside space made us not want to leave. We didn’t want to switch to our hotel for the last couple of days but we didn’t realize how great this house and location would be. We would definitely come back here, or try his other location just to mix things up. But we really loved this place. He was an amazing host too - he gave us tons of great information (restaurants, groceries, beach access, etc.) and a tour of the house so we knew where everything was.

Outstanding! I took my kids and their friends. First, the host was outstanding. He was responsive and provided all the info you could need. The house was amazing, quiet, 5 minute walk to Baby Beach which is incredible, especially if you want to chill and not have it too crowded. The house was one of the best supplied and comfortable I have ever stayed in. The rooms are comfortable, the pool is great and the little tiki patio is great. San Nicholas isnt near any touristy stuff which was a plus for us. Can’t wait to return!!!

Gorgeous home!

The property was like staying on your own private resort! Enjoyed every aspect of the home! Location and all! Our suggestions with having stayed at other Vrbos would be a notebook of some kind (journal) that guest can write in about their experience staying there and where they are from) I feel like this could be a benefit to the home owner as well as others staying there. Also, if a list could be printed out stating all the local restaurants recommend would be a great add!

Beautiful Villa

This was the perfect oasis for us for a family Holiday together. The check in was easy. Property was clean and beautiful. Very nice pool. It is within walking distance to the Rogers and Baby Beach but the shortest route includes stairs. We did not have an issue with this. Great food truck at Baby Beach we loved. It is very quiet as this is a residential area . We would stay here again and my grandsons are still talking about there stay in Aruba. Thank you.

Great location and neighborhood. Arnold was a wonderful and attentive host. Easy walk to Baby and Rodger's beaches. Baby has become super busy; so just a heads up. The best part of our stay was hiking the Sero Colorado Plateau Trail and swimming at Boca Grandi Beach. Walk to the lighthouse and before getting there you will see a trail off to you left, down the cliff, and then a right on the road to the trail's beginning. There is really nothing food-wise in the neighborhood (there is a small convenience store for very basic needs that also rents bikes) so if you are cooking you will need to stock up. Ling and Sons is a great option over the very busy Super Foods. Highly recommend the rental.

Secluded Oasis

I had an AMAZING birthday experience in Aruba. To jumpstart my stay at this beautiful oasis with an intimate group of family/friends. Arnold was an awesome host! He met us at the house upon arrival & gave us a personal walk through with instructions/questions to be asked. Even during my planning, Arnold was a great help in providing referrals for my Chef services, amongst other things. Arnold went above & beyond by actually transporting me to a local store (as we didnt have a vehicle) for a few last minute essentials. A lovely stay at this mini resort !!! Please be advised that this beautiful oasis is definitely for the luxury of "Wanted to be away from the tourist hustle & bussle". Therefore be sure to arrangre your essentials & food situation in advance.

Highly recommend!

My family of 4 (including 2 teenager kids) stayed at Arnold's vacation home for a week. Everyone (including my teenagers!) was very satisfied & had a great time! We have stayed at many VRBO properties & this was by far one of the best experiences. I would highly recommend this to any family looking for a quiet, clean and spacious house in Aruba. Arnold was a terrific host. I cannot ask anything more than what he had already offered to us. Very generous & professional. Always available to answer any questions or request. There was a street construction going on near this property during the week we were there. Arnold proactively offered to give us a free upgrade to stay at his other property in Noord, Aruba (although he really didn't have to). We took his offer & stayed in Noord, which turned out to be very convenient and just as nice. The house was fully stocked, definitely above & beyond the other VRBO properties we've stayed in the past. I'm sure either of Arnold's properties will be a great choice in Aruba!

Amazing property, outstanding host!

If you are looking for your own private resort quality place to stay, but want to experience the local culture of Aruba, away from the crowds and the mega hotels...this place is for you! We almost exclusively rent private properties on our vacations now, and have done so for a number of years. We have had the good fortune to have encountered some very good hosts, but Arnold is truly in a league of his own when it comes to his hospitality. From outfitting the house with little extras like beach chairs and a cooler, to the spotlessly clean condition of the property, to the immaculately tended gardens, to the time Arnold takes to learn about what you what to get out of your vacation, so he can make recommendations on where you might want to go on the island for food and entertainment (all spot on by the way), I could go on and on...but what really made an impression on us was how upon our telling him we were looking to experience the local Aruban culture, he invited us to join his family and friends to take in some of the Carnival activities, what a treat! Then on the last day, when we were planning to head back to the airport (after he had made an accommodation for us and our late afternoon flight), he took the time to lead us through the back roads to the airport, since the main road was closed because it was being used for a parade route. We enjoyed the constant breezes that the house is exposed to and the four distinct outdoor areas (upper deck w/ sea views, two outdoor tables for dinning or drinks, and the couches found beneath the thatched roof gazebo in the garden) not to mention the adorable neighborhood wild donkeys. We truly had a wonderful stay. We hope to make it back and experience Arnold's amazing hospitality here again soon!
