We have been coming to Bonaire over 10 years. We have stayed at dive resorts and multiple VRBO listings. This is now the only place we plan to return to.
Owners - This was THE BEST experience. They made check in and check out hassle free, were very helpful, easy to communicate with and there were no surprises. For example, on one stay when we arrived, we were told there was a limit to the electricity we could use. In this instance if there was a surprise it was that the listing was even better than described! We immediately fell in love.
Location - We like being close to downtown without the noise and hustle of downtown. This location felt remote yet was in great proximity to diving, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. And you can't beat being able to snorkle or dive from your backyard! We did our checkout dive here and saw 2 turtles. Just down the street is 4 Wheel Diving who we got our tanks and dive tips of the day from (Yago was simply fantastic) as well as CrossFit Flamingo that I did drop-in classes at (who could pass up a swim WOD!).
The House - The house itself was laid out very well with outdoor showers, several places for star gazing/sitting outside and a nice gated (with lock) courtyard where we felt safe leaving our bicycles (we rent from Jarne of FX Bonaire Kiteschool) and scuba gear. The pool was perfect as well for relaxing and gazing at the ocean and sailboats passing by. Plenty of kitchen amenities (there was not a single thing we needed that was not there) and even hairdryers in the bathrooms.
If you are finding yourself looking at a few properties, unable to decide, pick this one and move on. You will not be disappointed!
