About this property

The house is located in Seroe Colorado close to Baby Beach and Rodgers Beach which are about 3 minutes away by car. Bachelor and Boca Grandi beaches (on the windy side of the island) are about a 5-minute drive from the house. Baby beach has some beach restaurants and bars but there are no hotels in the area which is quiet and residential. There are supermarkets and stores in San Nicolas which is about a 10-minute drive. The house is in a quiet and friendly residential neighbourhood with a mixture of local and ex-pat residents. Please note this is the south (quiet) end of the island and is about a 30-minute drive from the airport, 40 minutes from Oranjestad and 50-minutes from the main tourist areas in the north of the island so that a car is necessary.

The house was built in the 1950’s in the mid-century modern style as part of the original Lago Colony which was the residential area for the Lago oil refinery. The house is a mixture of original and updated features and is in a 1950’s theme. There are three bedrooms, one with a king size bed, one with a queen size bed and one with twin beds all with air-conditioning. The bedroom with the queen size bed has French doors leading to the pool. There are two bathrooms with toilet, wash basin and shower and one bathroom with just a toilet and washbasin. The kitchen was updated in 2012 and is fully equipped with dishwasher, fridge, oven and induction cook top. All rooms have ceiling fans. In the living room we have a TV set with cable and Apple TV. We provide free high speed WiFi internet access.

The house has a large landscaped walled back yard with a beautiful L-shaped 10-metre swimming pool swimmable with rinsing shower. There is a shaded palapa in the yard where you can enjoy your morning coffee or cocktails at sunset or just read your book. There is a large covered outdoor patio with a comfortable seating area, a dining area and BBQ. There are 6 beach chairs, cooler, towels for the beach or pool. The yard, patio and pool are for the exclusive use of renters and are not shared with other properties.

Your host will meet you at the house and show you around.

Perfect Place!

We absolutely loved our stay. Baby Beach is our favorite. We had 6 people ages 10-74 and everyone loved it. The pool was fantastic for everyone, nice and clean. Beds were comfy and we all slept well.. the kitchen had everything we needed.

Family stay

We stayed 6wks and we were sad to leave. The location definitely needs a car, which we alreadybknew. The house was perfect for us, we all spent lots of time in the pool and patio. The house is very retro, which we loved with complete modern convenience. It will sleep up to 6 or 7, but there were only four at a time for us!

Spacious 60s time capsule

Wee enjoyed our stay at the house. The days get hot, so opening windows is a must if you’re in the house. The pool is great to have, and the house is larger than we expected. Plenty of room for our family.

Better than expected!

This is a great house if you are looking for a rental near a calm beach and are also looking for a private pool! My kids didn’t even want to go to the beach they loved the pool so much. The backyard was our favorite place to hang morning, noon and night! Caroline was great pre booking and during the booking of their property and Martha was excellent and very helpful durning our stay. We look forward to our next trip and will definitely keep this spot on our list of places to stay. :) thank you both for an excellent experience.

Lovely house

The house, garden, pool and kitchen are all top notch. It’s within walking distance to Baby Beach, a short drive to other spectacular beaches, to the National Park, to the Donkey Sanctuary, and to San Nicholas. The house is located in a neighborhood that is re-gentrifying. I would expect that this area will be booming in a couple of years. We were lucky enough to be there during Carnival in San Nicholas, an unforgettable experience. There are a couple of excellent restaurants in the area. We vastly preferred our experience over the touristy, crowded glitz of the hotel districts.

A Beautiful Property

This was our first vacation in Aruba and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend 9 relaxing days. This property is far (farthest place in Aruba is 1 h drive 😄) from all the touristy resort area, but not too far to access all those fun areas with a car. Seroe Colorado is at the southern most point of Aruba, about 30 min (at most) drive from Oranjestad airport and 10 min from the necessary grocery and restaurants of San Nicolas. The property is at a vantage point of 3 min drive from experiencing sunrise and 3 min from sunset!! Regarding the property itself, it’s a clean well equipped house for family vacation. The backyard is a gem with beautiful plants and a pool. Bedrooms are air conditioned but the family room is not, which didn’t cause too much trouble for us due to constant breeze and very good air circulation. Only comment I would have that the pool chair/recliner was broken and needs replacement. Minor issue that will not change our good memories with this property. HIGHLY RECOMMEND WITH 5 STAR RATINGS.

Prettig verblijf

Wij zijn een maand op familiebezoek/vakantie geweest op Aruba en verbleven in deze fijne woning. Ligt in een buitengebied dichtbij Baby beach. In een rustige omgeving met weinig toeristen. Huis is ruim en heeft een mooie tuin inclusief ruim zwembad, ideaal voor kinderen. Binnen zijn alle apparaten aanwezig (o.a. vaatwasser, wasmachine, broodrooster en koffiezetapparaat). Interieur is verouderd en minder prettig. Manager van het huis (Martha)is een hele vriendelijke dame die elk moment van de dag klaarstaat. Kortom; prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding voor deze woning.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

This was our third trip to Aruba and first time bringing our children with us. This home was perfect for our family of 5. My son loved the “maid quarters” which gave us a fourth bedroom so no one had to share. Sitting under the palapa was heaven, the breeze was wonderful, it’s where we spent most of our time at the house! And it was so nice to have a pool to cool off in! The location of the home in Seroe Colorado is fantastic, exactly where we like to be. It’s quiet and the neighbors were all so nice. It was great being so close to beautiful Baby Beach, we could get there early and get a spot with some shade before the crowds came :) We rented a 4-wheel drive jeep and explored the island which I would recommend to anyone staying here. Caroline and Martha are both wonderful to work with, we didn’t have any issues whatsoever. It was a nice, relaxing vacation and our kids now know why we love Aruba so very much! Thank you!

Three Weeks in Aruba

My husband and I went with our friends for three weeks. For us, the house was perfectly positioned with Boca Grandi for kitesurfing and Rodgers Beach for when we just wanted to relax. The kitchen has every gadget, utensil and cookware you can think of, definitely welcome given three weeks of restaurants wasn’t tempting. Martha the property manager is lovely, super friendly and helped make our trip memorable. If we encountered a problem or had a question, having a manager close by was helpful. The house was comfortable for two married couples and all our equipment. We’d stay here again.

This was our second time renting this property. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay in Seroe Colorado.. It turns out you can go home again. Martha, the property manager, was very attentive and helpful. Bed rooms are air conditioned but the living room is not. Can be quite warm but the palapa and the pool are a great escape,

Great experience

The house is so comfortable and the kitchen so well equipped. The covered outdoor seating and dining area meant we spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the Aruba breeze and the pool. We enjoyed being in a very quiet part of the island and in the old Lago colony where my father grew up. If you want nightlife or a lot of restaurant options, this is not the house for you. We had a wonderful stay.

Escape From Winter

We had a wonderful time in this home. Martha was great. The kitchen was very well stocked and after I learned how to use the cooktop it went well. Loved the pool and Baby Beach is very close and wonderful. The only real issue I had was the beds. I know some people like firm mattresses and if you do, you definitely would love it. Especially the master king size bed. I could not sleep on either the king or the queen and ended up sleeping on one of the twins. Still the vacation was wonderful. We stayed for 7 glorious weeks. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy this wonderful home!

Perfectly maintained, ideal location, well appointed kitchen, lovely pool, GREAT communication

This was our 10th or 11th trip to Aruba. We started staying over in Malmok and quickly discovered we were taking the 40 minute ride to the other side everyday because it’s away from the crowds and much more relaxing. We were met by the property manager who assured we were familiar with the area and where to find everything in the house. After renting a ton of homes we have learned that the kitchens always lacked so many of the essentials or were so beat up that items weren’t usable. So we packed kitchen shears, can opener, etc, etc and never had to use any of it. The kitchen is STOCKED! Great cookware, knives, utensils, blender, electric skillet, even an immersion blender. We cook most of our meals so this made life real easy. The 3 bedrooms that are a part of the main house are nice. There’s a bonus 4th bedroom and extra shower in what used to be a maids quarters that created a nice setup for my teen son. The front and back landscaping is perfect and VERY WELL maintained. There’s not a single weed or anything growing on the property that was not there by design. The pool was very clean and found the house to be spotless. A neat treasure is that there is a cavern in the neighborhood. Very neat to explore. Can’t wait to stay again.

Unexpectedly amazing!

What an incredible home to enjoy all the wonderful attributes of Aruba! Let's start with the home and the back yard, both perfectly appointed for visitors - from the kitchen with everything you need to cook in to the large bedrooms with ample storage to the paradise haven of a back yard. Aruba is a breezy island and the back yard with the perfect pool is a glorious relaxation zone with ample space to both enjoy the sun, the shade, the breeze, the pool! It was the perfect place to start the morning and even better to end a day from the beach before dinner....(as well as evening swims before bed!) Martha was the most gracious host, making our stay truly enjoyable and memorable. The island has much to offer between beaches, national park, activities, great food. The longer you stay, the more comfortable you can get to explore all the beauty of the island. We enjoyed being so close to the southern tip of the island, with great running trails up the hill to the south lighthouse/radar station and around to Baby and Rodgers Beach! We had a morning running buddy, Susie/Foxy, the dingo dog who brought us great joy with her company and her loving demeanor! She joined us on our morning runs for the full four miles! We are not resort travelers and prefer a more authentic experience to the culture of an island. This home and its neighborhood and people provided the best experience for our travel.

2020 Recovery Trip!

Once you find the house (get Martha to give you directions) you never want to leave (except to go to the beach). It is big and the pictures are accurate. It is very "kitchy"... decorated somewhere in the 50-60's. The kitchen is very modern. I hated the stove. Induction. But I am a gas girl. Make sure you read the manual in the bottom draw to the left of the sink. There are 2 washing machines and a thing you hang clothes on outside. I loved hanging my clothes. Made me miss my mother and brought me great memories. There are dishes and pots and some necessities like salt and vinegar (I left olive oil). If you plan to cook, check pantry. The pool is cleaned twice a week and the yard is pretty. If you want to go to the beach, drive. While it is a 3 minute drive that is supposed to commute to a 15 minute walk, don't be fooled. Drive. Eat at Kamini's by the Red Anchor. Don't eat at O'Neil's. Hong Hong only sells furniture now. I will absolutely book again but for a longer stay. Thank you Caroline. And thank you Martha I got lost coming home one day and she came and got us. She was there to help us with whatever we needed. Fabulous find.

Perfect for our family for a month

It was perfect for our covid workation. We loved being able to walk to baby beach and being away from the hustle and bustle up north. The pool and grounds were well maintained and beautiful. The neighborhood was safe and neighbors very friendly. I never felt unsafe, even as a woman running alone. The kitchen was well equipped and Martha was wonderful hostess.
