All 3 bedrooms had their own huge bathrooms…a ton of space for each of our kids and their significant others. Huge kitchen and living room. All 3 patio entrances to pool. Pool was awesome, perfect temperature. Beautiful view not of the beach but of the sea in the distance. Property was great got us anything we needed that we thought was missing.

We had a wonderful week while staying in the house. Our kids (13,13, and 12) enjoyed having fun in the pool while we enjoyed the view and sunsets. The house had everything we needed including beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler for when we headed to one of the beautiful beaches. We would definitely return to this property again.

Great location with ease of access to anywhere with a car. House was clean and pool was definitely a plus. Beach chairs, towels and cooler of good quality. Bedding and bath towels very nice as well . About the only thing we could complain about was the tv was a little wonky (not that we really needed it)and small bars of soap, wash rags and shampoo might be a plus. That’s basically nit picking. The place is five star

Wonderful Stay in Aruba!We had a fantastic time at this property. The house was spotless and well-maintained, with a huge kitchen that made it easy to cook and enjoy meals together. Everything we needed was there and more. The pool was a standout—perfectly refreshing and a great spot to relax with a beautiful, peaceful view.The outdoor space backs up to a natural salt flat, which makes for a unique and tranquil setting. It also means you’ll want to pack some bug spray, especially around dusk. It didn’t take away from our enjoyment, but something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to bites.Overall, we loved our stay and would absolutely come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable base while exploring Aruba!
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Aruba and at Esmeralda 38. It was everything we had hoped for—convenient, relaxing and peaceful. Every night was a fantastic sunset! And Stacey was kind, professional and very helpful. Thank you!

The house was great especially enjoyed the patio, pool and view! It was peaceful and private. The restaurants were awesome! Our favorites were: Anna Maria, Madame Jeanette and Screaming Eagle. Our first time having Dutch pancakes which were wonderful, we recommend them! We hope to return in the near future!

Nice property. Clean. Host response quickly. Our flight was delayed on departure day and they were flexible.
Location can be hard to find for international travelers. GPS takes you to the back of the house 😬

We stayed here with our three kids (3 1/2,7,11). It was the perfect spot for us. Easy to drive around to different areas. Only FYI if you are staying with kids is that the pool is deep. There was no shallow end. It wasn’t a huge deal but I wasn’t tall enough to touch without being on my toes so my husband had to be in the water with our youngest without her lifejacket on. It wasn’t a deal breaker though, just a little surprise to us when we got there. Highly recommend this place for families.

Dear Elayna,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that the location worked well for your family and that you enjoyed your stay. We also appreciate the feedback about the pool depth. It's definitely something to keep in mind when traveling with younger kids. It's great to hear it didn't affect your overall experience, though! We hope you and your family had some wonderful memories during your time there. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to host you and your family again on your next trip to Aruba!
Warm regards,
Rentals in Aruba Team
This was our first trip to Aruba and this was a perfect spot for our family holiday vacation. House was exactly as listed. Very well appointed. We had everything we needed to cook meals, including a gas grill. Pool was wonderful for hanging out at. I recommend a car, the house is located a bit (too far to walk) from restaurants. The property managers are very responsive and helpful. They have recommendations for car rental and activities- take them! The car rental and UTV rental companies were wonderful to work with. We were extremely pleased with everything. Thank you Rosie and Alex!

38 Esmeralda is a great location. Close enough to the resort areas to get there quickly, but perhaps more important, is that it is far enough away such that you and your party escapes the chaos and noise of the tourist area. The pool and veranda area offer a stunning view, serenity, and protection from the direct sunlight when needed.i think the property was well thought out for this purpose. The thing I really loved about the trip was our hosts ability to recommend the right things for our group. They recommend a local rental car service that picked us up at the airport and drove us directly to the Villa, where our cars were waiting. I can’t say enough about how stress free and easy this made things.for our group. We slipped right into vacation mode. It was an excellent stay, and I’d highly recommended this property to anyone.

This was our family’s third trip to Aruba but our first renting a villa with Rentals in Aruba. Traveling as a family of four with two teenagers, this home was perfect for our needs. We loved having our own pool. The location of the villa was perfect for adventures around the island. It was very clean! Rosie, Alex and team made our experience enjoyable and easy. From checking in with us ahead of our arrival to ensuring we were able to access the property right away, we appreciated their communication and assistance. When an unexpected airport closure forced us to stay on the island for a few more days, they worked with us to remain in the property until we had a flight home. Their kindness and help gave us peace of mind to continue to enjoy the island during what was a stressful time. I highly recommend Rentals in Aruba as Rosie and Alex and team will make sure you have the best experience.

Perfect house to stay in Aruba! I read the online reviews and found that they were accurate: this is truly a great place to stay. The layout of the 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms is truly perfect for 3 couples — private bedrooms separated with their own ensuite baths, and the living/dining is huge - great for watching movie or having dinner. The pool is fantastic but the views are the best — you can see the ocean and the peace and quiet in the mornings is incredible. Super easy to get to Arashi beach and very close driving to grocery stores (10-15 mins tops). Close to the hotel zone so if you want to go eat at restaurants it’s right there. It has a very clean Weber grill and a washer/dryer that work well.
The only downsides: not terribly comfy beds, the tv needs a surround sound system (it was difficult to hear movies or shows — had to turn up the volume a lot) and they need blackout curtains as the sun shines early at 6:30a every morning.
Otherwise, Marcia was truly great and wonderful to work with. A big help to us! Thank you!
Definitely rent this house. You will not regret it at all!
