This property is nothing short of magical. The house is spacious and comfortable and the pool is private and well maintained. We love the Noord area and found the house to be super conveniently located. We will be back for sure!

Amazing home and everything just as described in the listing. Sue answered each one of my emails/ questions, and there were many of those prior to our arrival. We cooked several meals, did a few loads of laundry. Plenty of beach towels and we drove to the beach each day. I wouldn’t say there is a beach within walking distance if that is what you are looking for. Will stay again, and book with confidence!

Thank you! It's great to hear you had such a good time and enjoyed the amenities we offer at Villa Chuchubi. You are correct that whilst we are only a 5 minute drive from the beaches at Arashi, Boca Catalina, Malmok, Tres Trapi and Hadicurari, you wouldn't want to walk it...and there is no need to as you can park for free right by the beaches! Come back and see us soon. You will receive a very warm welcome for sure!

Beautiful home for our first of many Aruba vacations. 2 moms with our 3 daughters we felt safe, the house is in a great neighborhood . Owner is easy to communicate with. All amenities provided right down to the beach chairs. Home is exactly what it appears to be in the pictures. Great location and renting a car was a great suggestion! Thanks again guys!

Villa Chuchubi is indeed Aruba’s best kept secret! It’s a fantastic vacation home that is in a great location, impeccably maintained, and comfortable with lots of inviting amenities. We especially love the large patio with plenty of shade for outdoor living and, of course, the pool. And, importantly, host Sue is a great communicator and ready to assist with lots of information and troubleshooting if needed. This wasn’t our first stay and won’t be our last!

This feels more like home than a vacation rental! We had two wonderful weeks at Villa Chuchubi. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Extra touches like a pump for the pool toys, chairs and coolers for the beach, music by the pool, the list goes on! The host, Sue, was excellent with communciation and we will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great vacation3

This place is amazing!! The owners are phenomenal, they were quick to respond and they were very accommodating. Part of the electric went out on the island and Andres from the management office was quick to come out and reset the breakers. Everything you could think of was provided for us. The side porch was the most peaceful place to sit late night as the soothing wind pass through. I definitely would stay here again. Telephone lines for local and long distance was provided for free, a fax machine and Netflix in some areas. Beach chairs and coolers were appreciated This was definitely worth every penny I paid. Thank you for providing me a great space for me to getaway and celebrate my BIRTHDAY LOVE IT THERE

We are very lucky to have such a responsive Property Manager....it makes all the difference when there is a problem, and these do happen from time to time! Our favourite area is also the side porch. It is peaceful and the most perfect place for a morning coffee or drinks in the evening. Do come back and see us again soon...you will always be welcome 😎

The host thought of everything to make this a great option to experience Aruba for the first time for our family of 4! House is close to some great beaches and restaurants but we found ourselves taking most advantage of the amazing private pool area to enjoy the amazing weather! Highly recommend if you’re looking a more private house vs resort experience!

We had a wonderful stay - the hosts were available to answer all our questions before we visited. They supplied many amenities to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The house was gorgeous and provided the tranquility and comfort we were looking for. The location was safe and quiet. We were provided with beach chairs and towels for all our excursions away from the house. We have stayed in high rises, low rises and condos in Aruba in the past but renting this house was our best choice by far and we will definitely return!

Once again, my family and I had a fantastic stay at Villa Chuchubi! The location in Noord was excellent as it was close to beaches (Arashi is our favorite), groceries, and restaurants. The house has a great floor plan for a family, with plenty of quiet/private spots to relax, as well as places to gather for meals and family fun. As usual, the pool was the highlight of the trip for our kids. It was the ideal base for our Aruba vacation, and we can't wait to come back for a third time in the future.
