About this property

Steps from the beach • Ocean view villa

This stunning Aruba retreat offers the perfect blend of island adventure and peaceful relaxation, all in an unbeatable location just moments from the water. Situated within easy walking distance of three of Aruba’s most beloved coastal spots, Boca Catalina, Arashi Beach, and the iconic Tres Trapi for swimming with sea turtles. The home makes beach days effortless. You can wander over in the morning for incredible snorkeling among colorful fish and coral, stroll to the Arashi Beach bar for tropical drinks and bites in the afternoon, and be back home in time to lounge by your own private pool before sunset. The setting truly captures the best of Caribbean living, days filled with sun, sand, and sea, followed by evenings soaking up magnificent sunset views from the comfort of your own terrace.

As you enter the property, you’ll immediately notice the privacy afforded by the beautiful landscaping and the tall 8-foot walls that surround the home. The outdoor space is a serene oasis designed for enjoyment and entertaining, with a gorgeous pool that invites you to cool off after a day at the beach and an outdoor BBQ area perfect for grilling dinner al fresco under the stars. Every moment outdoors feels both luxurious and relaxed, with plenty of room to gather or find your own quiet spot to read, swim, or simply take in the tropical breezes.

Inside, the home is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and bathed in natural light. The living room is bright and inviting, offering ample space to unwind together after a day of island fun, while the fully equipped kitchen and dining area make meal preparation and shared dinners a joy. Whether you’re whipping up a quick breakfast before heading out or preparing a leisurely dinner with local ingredients, the kitchen has everything you need.

The first bedroom is a true highlight of the property, featuring a private terrace that frames breathtaking ocean views, an extraordinary backdrop to begin or end your day. From here, you can watch the sky transform with hues of orange, pink, and purple as the sun dips below the horizon, creating moments you’ll want to savor again and again. Inside, a king-size bed and a wall-mounted smart TV await. Make your way to the attached bathroom, where you will find a walk-in shower, double sinks, and a TV.

Bedroom 2 has a comfortable king-size bed and a smart TV, offering a cozy retreat for overnight visitors, and Bedroom 3 includes a queen-size bed and a smart TV, perfect for family or guests seeking a tranquil space. Bedroom 4 also has a queen-size room with a smart TV, providing a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. Bedroom 5 features two full beds, a smart TV, and an attached bathroom, making it ideal for kids or guests who need flexible sleeping arrangements. There are six full bathrooms in total, five in the main house and one in the office space.

Combining an exceptional location with thoughtful design, beautiful outdoor spaces, and comfortable, stylish interiors, this Aruba home is more than a vacation spot, it’s a place where unforgettable memories are made.

The problem was we had little water pressure and no hot water for four out of the seven days . The company was on it and tried to resolve the issues but had to order and replace the water heater . That means little cooking , no washer , no showed for 10 people that scuba dived , fish , dirt road with atv and mud ! We had service people fixing other things at the house as well - even though things were fixed it was extremely inconvenient when paying for a house like that . They refunded 1000 dollars and refused to refund more when we should have been reimbursed at least 3 more thousand fir the four inhabitable days ! The views it shows in pics need to be updated because they are now building. We had ants but was fixed and the dryer went out which was fixed quickly. The house was gorgeous.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're truly sorry that your stay was impacted by the unexpected water heater failure and the resulting lack of reliable hot water and water pressure for several days. We understand how disruptive this was, especially for a large group returning from daily activities. As soon as we were notified, our maintenance team worked continuously to diagnose the issue, source a replacement water heater, and complete the installation as quickly as possible. We also addressed the ant issue and replaced the dryer promptly during your stay. While we're glad you found the home gorgeous, we recognize that these interruptions affected your overall experience. We appreciate your acknowledgment of our efforts and the compensation that was provided, although we understand you had hoped for a larger refund. Your comments regarding the views and listing photos have also been noted and will be reviewed to ensure they accurately reflect the current surroundings. Thank you for sharing your experience. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving both our homes and our guest experience.
