Since the outbreak of COVID-19 we have elevated our already superior cleaning process. We have always used high grade disinfectants which are approved by the EPA as being effective against viruses and bacteria. We pay extra focus on high frequency touch points such as appliances, door knobs, handles, wall switch plates,, remote controls, etc. We want you to not only indulge in the surroundings of the happy Island but also inside the property and your Tortuga apartment studio interior.

These apartments are located minutes away from the most popular beaches in Aruba such as Arashi (2 miles), Palm (2.5 miles) and Eagle (4.4). Snorkel the reefs off all these beaches.

The famous lighthouse and restaurant is located next to Arashi beach for spectacular sunsets.

You don't come to Aruba unless you love beaches and water sports. Wind surfing and kite surfing rentals and classes are nearby. Kayaks and boat rentals are also available.
If land sports is your thing, rent an ATV or UTV and tour the back roads of the island.

Great stay in Aruba!

We enjoyed our week long stay at this property. Safe area, easy drive to all our favorite beaches for snorkeling and relaxing. We appreciated the beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels provided with the apartment. The private pool and outdoor area were both fantastic. We met a nice couple staying in the 2nd floor apartment, and although we occasionally heard them, it wasn't a bother at all. This was a nice property, with a great price!

Great location in Noord

This was our first time in Aruba so we didn’t know what to expect. But this neighborhood was perfect—very quiet and away from the crowds but close enough to walk or bike to many beaches. We were on the go a lot, but the outdoor spaces at the house — pool, dining areas — were a bonus. The house was a perfect size for two.

Really in need of a deep clean and refurbish

Everything is old and broken, The bed was held up with wooden blocks , it had ripped up plastic mattress covers, covering, stained up mattresses. With filthy dust cover. The shelves on the storage shelves were equally as dusty. They give you 1 towel each and do not supply the unit with the necessary materials., trashbags, broom, they water down the dish soap and don't give any toiletries, just 1 roll of very cheap TP. The place is falling apart due to lack of proper maintenance and care. The owners fight constantly which is really nice to listen to on your vacation. We wondered if we should call the authorities it gets so violent. Not a place I will every stay again.

Great Property/Accurate Listing

The property is a fantastic studio apartment for a couple. In a quiet neighborhood with an excellent outdoor space to enjoy breakfast or just to relax before bed. Unlike some listings on VRBO, the property is not exaggerated. It looks exactly like it does in the photos. The location is perfect if you enjoy easy access to the Noord nightlife or the beach bars and restaurants along the high-rise district. Short ride to our favorite beach (Arashi) and the others in that area. Definitely worth checking this place out. We will definitely use again for our next trip to our favorite place on Earth!

Surprised

We didn’t realize we would be sharing the private pool with someone else! Our stay was downstairs and there was also another couple upstairs! It wasn’t a problem, but I misinterpreted the “private” statement 🤦🏻‍♀️All in all it was a great trip. In the future the listing might say something about there being two guest Properties and that if the other one is occupied you would be sharing the amenities with them?

Beautiful studio and property

This is a very beautiful space to have a holiday. The apartment was decorated with such style from the tile floors to the wooden ceiling. General decor was wonderful. Felt very spacious for a studio due to the layout, and lots of shelving to put your things away. Then you go outside to the pool area, with tiled area around the pool and lounging chairs in the sun or the shade since they have a nice canopied area for some shade, just watch your feet the clay tile gets a bit hot. All the amenities for the beach were provided; beach chairs, towels, cooler and water cooler which was great for us since we are beach bums, but we could easily turn into poolside loungers by staying here. Contact with the owner was easy and response was quick with thorough information, even a video on how to get to their place, very smart idea! The other apartment on the property is an upstairs apartment in same building so you may here a few footsteps but nothing to worry about really. Overall a fantastic place and will definitely stay in our top places to stay while in Aruba

Great choice for our week+ in Aruba

There are two units (upper and lower) right beside the pool and outdoor lounge area. Lots of nice outdoor space. These units are a separate building behind the main home. It is an ideal set up in every way - the location is in a new, very safe, quiet, clean, easily accessible district, which is very close to many beautiful beaches and a short drive to restaurants and the big grocery store. We stayed in the main floor unit and appreciated the extra space to spread out a bit, and even do some daily exercises in the air conditioned space. (The owner kindly lent us a few weights to use which was appreciated.) The couple staying above us was very friendly and fun to share some stories with at the end of the day. There was no one using the main house so overall we had the space to ourselves most of the time. Easy parking right beside the building and the property had a locked fence surrounding it. Aruba felt very safe everywhere and we enjoyed our time there very much. Highlights for us where the lovely white sandy beaches, south end restaurants and the rugged wild east coast. We are not into casinos and night life which is big in Aruba too, but we found lots of areas we did enjoy, including the national park, and would return for sure!

Lovely Little Noord Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place had every thing you need for a great vacation in Aruba. Espy has great communication and was available to meet our needs. The available cooler was a nice addition for picnics at the beach. Thank you for a lovely time.
