About this property
4 Bed Luxury Villa , Private Pool, Short Walk To Ritz And Marriott Beach !
Hello Travelers... Our 2000 square foot 4 bedroom 4 bathroom villa features high 14 foot cathedral ceilings with main living area having a open view design. There is plenty of light with large windows and all glass exterior doors. The villa sits on a spacious 8000 square foot property at the end of a small cul-de-sac and is just a few minute walk to the Ritz and Marriott beach. From our front gate to the Marriott/Ritz Carlton Roundabout/circle is 750 meters / 4/10 of a mile... Walkable in about 7-8 minutes.
The outside area features a spaceously sized 350 square foot pool that is 4-5 feet in depth. There are 2 in water benches that accommodates 4 people comfortably and with steps near by 6 people can enjoy a drink while sitting in the pool. Surrounding the pool area are a number of lounge chairs for you to enjoy the sun. The pool is also raised 1 foot above the ground which provides impromptu seating all around the pool. The pool is surrounded by a spacious 1000+ square foot high end coral patio which your bare feet will greatly appreciate. Adjoining the coral patio and a step up is another 1000+ square foot Bavarian field stone patio (also bare foot friendly) covering most of the backyard area.
The outdoor design and spaciousness of the property offer our guests several covered areas for gathering: 1. In the back corner behind the pool there is a large tropical styled gazebo area that houses an impressive 20 foot L shaped polished concrete wet bar complete with electric outlets and LED lighting all around under the bar and along the inside of the gazebo. With hotel quality bar stools and grill it's the perfect place for your outdoor dining. 2. Three large tropical styled palapas (think permanent super large beach umbrella with palm leaves) located along the pool area, with two of the palapas under an area of soft grass. Each of the palapas have a built in round/oval shape wood table built in. 3. A 12 x 15 foot pergola attached off the house in the back adjoining the dinning room. It is covered by a heavy duty translucent plexiglass thus allowing light but shielding you from direct sun and rain. It features 2 large strong fans, high end teak couch, chairs, and end tables. Lastly it has a 12 foot polished concrete table at dining room table height attached to the wall. So there is another area for you to sit and dine.
The rest of the property is accessible either on a stamped concrete walkway or our customized stepping stones. To complete the tropical feel there are 150+ plants some amongst the 25+ clay pots. Hopefully the accompanying photos enhance the description. Our photos are updated regularly and include the month & year it was taken in the caption.
We have our own on call chef. Chef Jon specializes in authentic Aruban cuisine.
We can make vehicle rental reservations for you. Most of the time we are able to get a better price than going through the big name companies. A majority of our guests have booked the vehicle rentals through us.
There is small additional per night guest fee for more than 6 guests just to cover additional expenses.

The property was beautiful. My family and I enjoyed our time outside by the pool, and Palm beach was only a short walk away. The property was also very clean and had everything you needed. Jim was an amazing host; one of the best I’ve ever dealt with.

House was absolutely beautiful! Decorated with latest decor. The kitchen and bathrooms all had ample supplies and great hot water!!! We loved the backyard oasis and pool. They cleaned the pool for us several times throughout the week. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for an evening bbq at home. AC was in perfect order and cooled off the house nicely. We highly recommend this house for couples or families looking to get away from the crowded hotels downtown.

Our family had an absolutely fantastic stay at this home in Aruba! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and everything we needed, yet still peaceful and private. We especially loved the outdoor space; whether it was relaxing by the pool, enjoying morning coffee under the palapa or winding down in the evening. Jim and Tamara were wonderful hosts! They were VERY responsive, helpful, and made sure every detail was taken care of to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. It’s clear they take great pride in their property and their guests’ experience.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return again. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Aruba!

Jim and Tamra were great hosts. House was in a good location but seemed too far to walk for our crew. Outside is beautiful. Fourth bedroom would have been more comfortable if updated.

Our hosts were wonderful. Jim & Tamara were always available for questions and suggestions from the day we booked until the day we left! Their home was immaculate and spacious, and the pool/patio wonderfully relaxing. Our group of 5 had a great time and would return in a heartbeat!

Hi Diane, thank you and we are so happy to hear that you had a great time. You were fantastic guests and in a heartbeat we would love hosting you again.
All the best! Jim & Tamara
The outdoor area is definitely an 11 out of 10! The pool was refreshing and there was plenty of both shady and sunny spaces for everyone to hang out. The home is near the hotel strip so you are a few minutes from the action and far enough to feel like you are in your own private oasis. The interior meets all basic needs and was clean and comfortable. The host was helpful and available while giving us plenty of space to imagine the house was ours. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Jim is a wonderful host, very accommodating and attentive to your needs.
James was a great host’. The outside is made for vacations. Pool and bar is where we spent our nights. You won’t find better in Aruba

Hi Chuck, thank you and great to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Aruba. It was nice meeting you and your group as well. It was a pleasure hosting you. All the best! Jim & Tamara
Jim was incredibly helpful. Before the trip he found us a car when our rental was abruptly cancelled. During the trip he had very helpful tips. Finally when our flight got canceled along with every other flight in the Caribbean he found us another rental and a bank dispensing the us currency required to rent it. The house itself is very well stocked by Jim and Tamara. Plus it has updated appliances and is clean. It is very conveniently located with a car. The pool is beautiful and affords space for both sun or shade.

About the host
Hosted by Jim & Tamara
My wife and I have traveled to Mexico and the Caribbean for many years. Aruba was on our bucket list for quite a long time and we finally got there in the winter of 2016. While enjoying our stay the people we were renting from told us about this property. When we went to see the property my wife pointed her finger ;) and told me that she wanted it... Well you know how the saying goes ... We purchased it in the summer of 2016 and I spent the good part of a year there designing and remodeling it. This will eventually be our retirement place so many of the decisions made along the way in designing and remodeling had quality in mind. So until we get to the point where we retire we hope those of you choosing to stay with us enjoy what we have to offer.
Why they chose this property
Noord and the Bakval corridor is highly desirable as it has quick/easy access to Palm, Malmok, Eagle, Boca Catalina, and Arashi Beaches. We are a very short walking distance from the highly rated Oak Restaurant. My wife and I travel to Aruba 2-3 times a year and we are always doing upgrades and making improvements each time we are there. We very much care that your stay in Aruba and at our place will be an enjoyable and memorable experience.
What makes this property unique
We offer 3 distinct areas where you can sit and enjoy the shade. Near the pool is 3 large palapas, at the back of property is a very large gazebo housing the bar and grill area, and off the back of the dining room and attached to the house is a covered pergola with translucent roof, 2 fans, and 12+ foot polished concrete table fashioned like the concrete bar under the gazebo. Of course, there is plenty of space for those who worship the sun :). The other distinct feature that separates our property from almost any other property is the vast amount and variety of plants, trees, bushes which gives the property a resort vibe.
