Thank you for your great review. It's always good to know our guests have enjoyed their time at Villa Chuchubi. We offer a more private and independent experience than a hotel resort, and we are happy that this met your expectations. Come and see us again soon ☺️
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!

We love getting such great feedback from repeat guests, and it was a pleasure to have you stay with us again. We really appreciate your kind comments and look forward to seeing you on your next trip to the Happy Island!
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

We loved this house. Very clean, enough room for 6 adults. Lots of outdoor seating. The pool area was very nice and clean. Thank you Paul and Sue for sharing your house with us. We hope to come back again in the future!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your New Year break at Villa Chuchubi. We also love the outdoor seating spaces and pool area as they are so private. Do come and see us again soon ☺️
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!

Thank you for spending Christmas at Villa Chuchubi, and for your very kind comments. We do try to include everything you're likely to need, so it's good to hear you enjoyed making use of all the amenities. Come and see us again soon, and enjoy your New Year celebrations.
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!

Thank you so much for your great review!
We have seen an increasing number of guests who have historically booked their vacations in hotels and condos, and when they have experienced the space and flexibility of staying with us, they realise they have found a new way of vacationing....and they come back again which is great!
We are so happy you had a good time and we hope to see you again on the Happy Island 🏝️ ☺️
Thank you so much for your 5 ⭐️ review which is very much appreciated. We are so glad you would stay with us again, and we look forward to seeing you soon 😃
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.

House is incredible. High end showers, appliances, electronics, internet, pool. We also liked the quiet neighborhood of Ruby in Noord, close to Northern beaches but also the Gold coast high rises. great communication from the owners, highly recommend.

Thank you for such a great review and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed all the amenities at Villa Chuchubi, the peaceful neighborhood, and also the convenience of being close to Palm Beach. We hope to see you again if you choose to travel to the Happy Island
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was immaculate - clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed and more to make us feel right at home. The home and pool are very private and we were able to relax and forget about the real world for a while.What truly made this stay exceptional was interacting with the owners, specifically Sue, as well as the property managers. They were all so welcoming, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our experience was perfect. Highly, highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!

Thank you! We also love the outdoor space where there is room for everyone either around the pool, under the shady thatched palapa or sitting on comfy seating on one of the patios. We are so happy you enjoyed your vacation with us. Come back soon ☺️
We really enjoyed staying at the villa. It was very spacious inside as well as the outdoor space. Having a private pool was pure heaven and so convenient! We started every morning with a cup of coffee on the outside terrace. There are several seating areas outside. Inside has a great open floor plan that makes hanging out really easy. We highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much, and we are happy that you at least managed a shortened version of your vacation before Covid-19 disrupted flights and turned ‘normality’ upside down.
We hope to see you again when we all emerge from the current chaos. The Happy Island and Villa Chuchubi will be waiting for you :)
Everything was perfect about this home.We have absolutely no complaints. The staff in charge of property are wonderful. We will be back as soon as we can.

The property was just as nice as the pictures. My wife and I spent 7 days here with our two teenaged boys, and the villa had ample space to hang together or have quiet time to relax. Minutes from many different beach options, the house had all we needed, with beach towels, beach chairs, and coolers. An amazing house on an amazing island.

About the host
Hosted by Paul and Sue Gibbs
We are just an ordinary English couple, who visited Aruba with our family for a two week vacation in 2013, and were captivated by the beauty and warmth of the island and its inhabitants.
Having fallen in love with all that Aruba has to offer, we decided to buy a property to enjoy ourselves, and to rent to others who can also create happy memories of this exceptional island.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Aruba during our 2013 vacation, and felt the same way about Villa Chuchubi from the moment we walked through the front door. The open plan kitchen/living/dining area is HUGE, with a large and shady terrace for eating and lounging, just the other side of the patio door from the kitchen.
The pool invites you to jump in, as soon as you step out into the lush, tropical gardens, and the pretty thatched palapa offers welcome shade from the heat of the Aruban sun.
What makes this property unique
* Stunning gardens and pool * HUGE open plan kitchen/living/dining area * Large master suite with walk-through closet and en-suite bathroom * Quiet neighborhood close to Palm Beach * Perfect base for a vacation in the paradise island of Aruba
