Beautiful spot, perfect for families

We loved the quiet spot, the gorgeous views, the lovely garden. Lots of little nooks for people to spread out. The kitchen was well supplied, everything worked. There are stairs down to the water and if the sea is calm, it’s an easy entry for swimmers and snorkelers. Plus, wonderful hosts!

Fantastic Home! Beautiful Views!

Our family came and stayed for a week at this beautiful home. The location is perfect, direct ocean access with a nice platform and not just a ladder. The management was great and very responsive. We had a wonderful week, not a single issue. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again!

Beautiful property, clean, well-provisioned. Laurits and Annameike are so kind and helpful. Immediate responses to questions or needs. Our children loved the pool.The best part is the reef. No one else is there, it is healthy with tons of fish. Easy access from the property, easy diving for beginners (we had 2).It was the perfect family vacation!

I can't recommend this property enough!

This property was outstanding! We spent as little time as possible indoors but the house was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are so many comfortable places to sit outside and enjoy the views...plenty of areas with sun or shade and a steady wind kept the bugs away. The lush greenery and water front made for some fun nature watching. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships come in, the lights at night in downtown Kralendijk, and the beautiful sunsets. It was an easy walk to Delfin's Resort for a bite to eat and short drive to lots of great snorkeling, food trucks and restaurants.

5 Star Oceanfront Villa with Tons of Space!

We chose this villa for our first stay in Bonaire and couldn't have been any happier. Great location on the island with lots of privacy and quick access to town, many amazing dive sites and the east side of the island. The Pelican's Nest is clean and modern with all the amenities you would expect -- the best of those being all the terrific outdoor seating and eating areas. Breakfast, cocktails or dinner all at different outdoor locations! Also, the owners were super helpful and responsive to any questions we had, including some great recommendations for dinner restaurants. If you are trying to find a private & luxurious 4 bedroom place in Bonaire, look no further - Pelican's Nest is it! We will definitely be back!!

Property of Our Dreams!

From beginning to end, our stay at Pelican’s Nest was wonderful! All pre-trip communication with Fenna, Annemieke and Maurits was quick and easy. We were welcomed to Bonaire by Maurits, who met us at the airport, drove us to the house and kindly showed us around. A lovely basket of tasty treats and more was on the counter and cold drinks were in the fridge, which was a first for us at a rental property. Each day, we so enjoyed the awesome views of the beautiful turquoise water with Klein Bonaire in the distance. There was great snorkeling right off the patio deck and an interesting variety of wildlife that visited the garden, including iguanas, geckos, whiptails, land hermit crabs, and birds, such as the chatty, little Bananaquit, the singing, orange and black Troupial, and the talkative, colorful Brown-throated Parakeet. All contributed to a very ‘tropical feeling’, which is important to us. The house is quite comfortable, nicely outfitted with everything we needed, and the AC in the bedrooms allowed us to sleep well. Thank you, Matthieu, for a great stay! Pelican’s Nest is the best!!

Perfect Waterfront Property

The property manager, Fenna, met us at the airport, brought us to the property and welcomed us with a delicious welcoming gift complete wiht beer and wine! A first for us after 8 years using Vrbo host homes. Fenna also offered expert advice pre trip helping us plan activities, restaurants, etc. The house is perfect and the gardens/ backyard even better; swimming, snorkeling and diving right off the patio. Multiple deck and garden areas for dining or relaxing after a busy day. And large tarop visits every night putting on a nature shoow - can't say enough great things about thi beautiful home. Cleaning staffwas professional, thorough and fast.

Amazing

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe how nice the Pelican’s Nest is. The view is great. Access to the ocean is unbeatable. The house was as described online. Very clean. Well stocked with kitchen items. Beds were comfortable. Linens were nice. Back porch was great, nice and big with many seating options.

Could not ask for more

As two couples, we have stayed at numerous rental properties and this is a model property in every way. First, it is as lovely as it appears in the pictures, perhaps more so. The house functions SO well; there is space for gathering , for privacy, for cooking, dining, gear washing, lounging, swimming, luggage, even extra drink storage. The location is ideal for both doving and kiting, and is convenient to the airport and to downtown. Finally, Fenna, the property manager, is a true star. So friendly, so helpful, so responsive. This rental property is as good as gets. The four of us are now terrified that we will henceforth be disappointed as the bar as now been set at a new height. Don’t wait. Book now.

Absolutely beautiful property on the water.

The four bedroom house is roomy with nice sized bedrooms, 3 spa-like bathrooms (love the rain shower heads) and a central kitchen, dining room and living room. The bedrooms have AC, the central area got a bit warm- but we opened windows and had a breeze. The kitchen is well-equipped and we cooked quite a bit during the week. We also enjoyed making lattes in the Nespresso machine. The extra garage fridge was convenient to hold all the adult beverages our group enjoy. While the house is amazing, the backyard is the absolute best part of this property- large covered patio with couches and tables, landscaped walkways, swing, lounge chairs, hammocks and direct access to the ocean by steps! We swam, snorkeled and went diving out of our back yard. Heavenly sunsets were an added bonus. I highly recommend this property for a group of up to eight people.

Beautiful home and Excellent Owners

We just spent a week at The Pelican’s Nest. We were met at the airport by Fenna and followed her in our rental car to the property. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. The ability to dive/snorkel off the back patio was wonderful. The owners were very prompt with any questions we had and helped with everything from restaurant recommendations to entertainment suggestions. The bedrooms were nice and cool. The house had more than enough room and was very clean. Matthieu was very accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. I would recommend The Pelican’s Nest to everyone! We can’t wait to come back to Bonaire.

Perfection!

The backyard is as good as it looks in the pictures! You can’t believe how amazing it will be to swim, snorkel, and dive right from the house. We had one issue, but it was resolved quickly, which is all you ask for. This was our second stay in this house, and hopefully not our last.
