Happy Island Visit
We stayed a week at this perfectly located home with a great space for family. Lovely patio with big pool. Nice open space in and out. Close to beaches and restaurants, recommend a car as difficult to walk but still an ideal location. Host was very accommodating. Lots of towels and beach chairs making our trips to the beach much more enjoyable. Thanks for a great week!

As advertised
Our group of 8 adults enjoyed this property for a week. Property is clean, everything works as it should, pool is great. My only suggestion would be to provide access to the back yard through the drive in gate so people can use the outdoor shower without tracking sand through the house

Bob was great to work with and very responsive. We loved the pool area. So nice to relax when you get back from a day of activities. The kids really loved it too. 5 nice size bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with an outdoor shower. The kitchen was big and had everything we needed. Definitely highly recommend.

Aruba Awesomeness
The property in Aruba was exactly like the listing. The property is beautiful! The house is very spacious and clean. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking items. The beds were extremely comfortable. The pool and outdoor area was where we spent most of our time. Bob was wonderful to work with. Since it was our first trip to Aruba, we asked for recommendations about things to do and places to eat. We received a thorough list from Bob. Bobchecked on us multiple times throughout the week, making sure we had everything we needed. We felt right at home in this property! If we ever make it back to Aruba, there is no question that I will reach out to Bob for availability of his home.

Great time at Coconut Villa
We had a great stay at Bob's place. Bob was very responsive and accommodating. We knew we wanted to stay in Noord so this worked out great. The house is very spacious, there were six adults, and everyone had their own room. Also 4 bathrooms and an outside shower was great. The water could have been hotter but was perfect for me. Pool area and outside space was fabulous, and we relaxed there in the afternoons and evenings. This is a 15-minute walk to the Marriot and the Ritz so pretty easy access to the beaches, keep in mind though that you can't hire beach chairs etc. but the house comes with chairs and towels. I slept very well bed was comfortable. You need cabs to get most places, but it is walking distance if you are OK walking. we rented "bird's" and loved riding them to the beaches where we snorkeled and saw beautiful fish. We would certainly consider staying at this house again should we visit Aruba, Thanks Bob!

Family Christmas
We were a family of 8, ages 13 to 87! The house was massive, super clean, very spacious, comfortable, well stocked and perfectly located. We didn’t even need a car it was close to everything. The property was incredible, the pool spectacular. Bob was a great host, very responsive and the cleaners were very friendly and accommodating when we got there, they even brought us beer! The island is so amazing, small enough that we saw every corner. Powder white sand and calm waters on one side, wild, uninhabited, raw and stunningly beautiful on the other. We will be back as soon as we can. Could not have been better for our family Christmas. Thank you Bob, for sharing your house with us.

When we arrived, the property didn't look like it had been occupied or cleaned for months. Very dusty dirty floors. Some mouse or anole poop on the floors. Dead cockroaches in two bedrooms and inside the kitchen oven. No sheets on the beds. Spent the first day cleaning it up to our standard. After that we had an enjoyable time. Ron

Aruba Stay after Christmas
We arrived on 12/26 and getting into house was simple, Bob sent instructions and were right on target! We turned A/C on and went out and enjoyed the pool after grocery shopping. House is very, very roomy and we almost never used the living room because we were out by the pool or at the beach. Kitchen had all we needed as we only used for breakfast and lunch and went out. Taxi's found the house so wasn't a problem but make sure of the price up front. The house is as shown in pictures. Nothing fancy but good for our family of 9. There is a shortcut to the Marriott when you go out of the house you turn right and go across some grass. Hard to see at night so turn on your camera flashlight. We took a rolling cooler to the beach no problem (followed the concrete road) and rented an umbrella for $30/day but took chairs from house. Don't take beach towels, they have them. I prefer to stay on the beach myself, but honestly, this is the way to go! If you are there on New Years Eve - you can see fireworks from every angle! Could not believe how many went. Every which way you looked, you could see them!

Great location, perfectly set up for a large group with great separation of space. Large bedroom suites, kitchen, family rooms and outdoor space. The pool and swim up bar are on point. We all had a great trip and would certainly stay again. Close to everything helped to make this an idea VRBO.

Near beaches and shopping
This is a spacious property with multiple Bedrooms and bathrooms for a large group. The convenience of the pool is a bonus. It is only 2-4 miles to the nearest beaches which is convenient. There are several stores and restaurants also nearby. When having an issue with the water, Bob was attentive and got the problem solved quickly. We did not have to wait long for this to get fixed which was reassuring. If you are looking for space, this is the place.

Ok stay, big house
The house is centrally located there are a lot of amenities surrounding it we were at bit disappointed because there is no hot tub as advertised the place was not ready for us when we first came in we had to wait two hours until it was cleaned there were a lot of broken down toilet seats and handles they still worked, Bath tub in one of the rooms was horribly destroyed it was just a bit disappointing for all the money we paid. The house serves it’s purpose

Close to high rise hotels and action. Nice roomy house close to everything.
The house was spacious and well kept. The backyard was the oasis we needed. Pool and deck area was awesome! Four couples had plenty of private space as well as a common area for fun and sun! Would definitely return.

Coconut Villa
We had a great time during our stay at Coconut Villa. The house is very spacious, clean and maintained inside. But there were some issues we thought should have been taking care of before our arrival. One of the bedroom air conditioners were not working. But when we called they took care of it right away. One bathroom shower handle was broken and another bathroom's water just trickeled out. The outside pool-patio area needed to be cleaned up. The pool did not seem to be cleaned before our arrival. We called and they sent the pool company over, but then the water turned green and they had to return and shock it so we could not use the pool for last 2 days. We are not very picky, I would stay at the villa again. But I would walk around to check out these things upon arrival. Aruba is a great vacation area with lots to do.

Coconut Villa
Wow, what a time my family had in Aruba and particular staying at the Coconut Villa's. Where do I begin, couldn't ask for a nicer place to have the family stay for a week in Aruba. Location is near everything, beautiful pool and hottub. Plenty of room to have a BBQ outside and inside was even nicer. Rooms all have plenty of space and bedrooms are all good size so no worries about being crammed. I have already told my friends that they need to get to Aruba and to rent out the same place. I plan to make this a yearly trip as my kids can't wait to go back. I would recommend the Coconut Villa to anyone who is interested in a great family trip.
