Location, location, ocation
This was our second time visiting Bonaire and funny enough we stayed next door 6 yrs ago. Both houses were sold. We knew we wanted to be in this location on the island!!Kitchen had everything we needed plus some! (We cooked every meal in the house, except the last night's dinner.) I thought hot pads were missing, but we found them o last day. Berry very attentive and offered to come and fix dishwasher. (It was new but missing panel with words to use properly.) We figured it out. We were a dive snorkel group and set up was perfect and we were only 1 block away from Good Friends Dive SHop. Fridge even stocked with some basics, including beer. Def held us over until we found store, which was one block away.The table outside was perfect for all meals and a cribbage tournament. Ourdoor seating good. Inside did not have seating for al of us, but we brought in furniture from master on first floor. We were not inside much, but liked to watch a movie after a day in the water.We loved it and hope to be back.

Gorgeous views! On the water!
Great location, on the water, beautiful views, though no beach access. It’s next to Captain Don’s dive shop but YOU CANNOT DIVE WITH CAPTAIN DON’S as they only allow divers staying with them to dive there. You can eat at their restaurant and use their dock steps for a shore dive. Buddy Dive is conveniently next door to Captain Don’s. Nice parking spot. Has a place to rinse dive equipment & clotheslines. Lovely back porch. Clean. Will return!

A Perfect Spot!
This is a lovely 4 BR home with a stunning view of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. You are a 5 min walk to a pier from which you can dive or snorkel to your heart's delight. The reefs teeming with tropical fish are just below the property! We found the kitchen to be well equipped, the patio perfect for watching the sunset, and the beds to be comfortable. You are a short drive to the restaurants and stores in Kralendijk. Highly recommend!

Great Location and Accommodations
We loved staying here and especially enjoyed proximity to snorkeling which was basically at our doorstep. The accommodations were excellent and included everything we needed. Our hostess Monique was super friendly and was always available while she was on the island. Best VRBO host ever! She made sure we had contact information for the property manager when she wasn't here. We also were really pleased with how close we were to town and restaurants, grocery shopping. It was a nice, quiet location which is our preference since we didn't want to be right in the middle of downtown. We rented a car during our stay and I'm really glad we did. It just made it easier to be very independent and not have to rely on any transportation even though many things like grocery and restaurants were in walking distance. Keep in mind there is only 1 bedroom on the first floor and 3 upstairs. This wasn't a problem for us but you should be aware if you have any mobility issues. The beds were very comfy and so were the lounge chairs outside for sunbathing. We loved the huge patio and location of the outdoor couches and lounge chairs. They were high-end lounge chairs which we appreciated since we spent hours sunbathing each day :). I highly recommend this place and would most definitely return!

Beautiful villa on Bonaire!
This beautiful villa was perfect for our scuba/snorkel vacation! The kitchen was well-stocked with every item we needed. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was ideal for the group. The outdoor space looking over the water had all sorts of tables/chairs for relaxing and eating, with a direct view of the sunset every night. Both the owner and property manager were quick to respond to needs/requests. The drinks/snacks stocked for our arrival were a fun discovery and a little taste of Bonaire. I would highly recommend this villa.

This property is currently undergoing renovations, and there were some issues related to that. However, the location was absolutely perfect for our group, and the outdoor spaces more than made up for any issues we had with the interior.

Great location
We enjoyed our family vacation in Monique's wonderful villa. The ocean front view and sunsets are incredible, and there are multiple dive centers within walking distance (Captain Dons and Dive Friends Bonaire). The property has been renovated and has all new appliances. The property managers Berry & Marion met us at the airport and were so nice and helpful. They helped us picking up our rental car and took us to the property and went over everything. They also met us at checkout to make sure everything was alright. Thank you.

Practically Perfect
My wife and two daughters (16, 10) were recently SCUBA certified, and I was excited to introduce them to the amazing underwater world around Bonaire. Pre trip communication was easy and fast with Monique, and she and Marion met us at the airport and took us directly to the property and left us with a bag of groceries-beer, wine, soda, bread, butter, chips, etc. The property is beautiful and exactly as pictured. The house is located in the corner of the Hamlet Oasis community, so its very private. Large air conditioned bedrooms and with comfy beds. A well stocked kitchen adjoins the living area (air conditioned), but the outdoor space is the best. The outdoor area is covered and steps from the ocean, with a large table that seats 6 easily, and plenty of comfy seating for relaxing. The location is amazing as well. It's a 25 meter walk to Capn Dons Habitat which has an amazing pool, Rum Runners restaurant, and two docks with steps into the ocean where you can start/finish dives. Great for night diving. The Cliff dive site is directly in front of the house. There is also a nice rinse station and an outdoor lockable room to hang/store wet dive gear. There are several dive companies/shops within a couple hundred meters of the house. Dive Friends (we used them this time-they were great), Buddy Dive, and Capn Dons. There is a supermrket a few hundred meters north of the house and Kralendijk central is a short drive south. You really can't go wrong with this property.

just the nicest place to stay!! beautiful and great location
the communications were completely great and we loved the house. we were even met at the airport to follow our host to the house - so welcoming! the place was big and spacious with covered outdoor dining and waterfront with chaise lounge chairs. Location between Capt Don's and the Divers Friends dive shops was so convenient. (There was loud construction from next door and some dust but definitely not the owners' fault and we were warned. Noise stopped by 4 pm daily)

Great stay
I don't usually do reviews but the unit was great. Everything was as advertised. Even small things like the towels being good quality and having an ample supply. There were even clothes lines and clothes pins there. I would highly recommend the unit AND the management company. Paradise rentals was very easy to deal with and communications were answered very quickly. If this unit is not available for our next trip to Bonaire we will definitely use Paradise rentals to find something for us. Great folks. Very accommodating and very personable folks.

Reef in front of property has tons of fish! Saw a turtle, two flounders, and 3 eels just to mention some rare sightings. Spent hours snorkeling! Easy access from Captain Don’s dock. Rum Runner’s is fantastic, really close walk! Make reservations ahead for dinner. Watching sunsets from the front of the house was a nightly event!! Beautiful! House was great!

Great house for a dive trip destination
Great location! House layout is great (4 bedrooms) and the view is fantastic. Easy access to local services and of course, diving locations. We experienced the pre-tropical storm/hurricane version of Hurricane Ian, receiving a couple of inches of rain and 25-30 mph winds. There are no weatherstripping seals on the doors, so we did get a lot of water coming into the bedrooms, but it was an easy clean up. Door locks work but they are difficult to operate. Kitchenware (e.g., knives, pots) could use an upgrade. With that said, overall it was a great experience with minor complications. Really enjoyed our time here.

We were awed by the perfect location on the water, steps to two easy water access points, short stroll to town. Large covered deck where the 6 adults could stretch out or find private spots and dine together at the large table. Fantastic responsive service from our hosts.

Great spot
The view is outstanding, and the reef out front is spectacular. The property manager arranged for the refridgerator to be stocked on arrival. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioners work great. Joey the cat came by each day to keep us company - very sweet. The house needs some TLC, which limited our enjoyment. Patio door wouldn’t open on arrival; they fixed it next day. Drawers stuck. No wine opener. Odd collection of kitchen supplies. Lights were out in stairway and hall so had to rely on flashlight to go to bed at night. The gas to stove was turned off so we had to call to get instructions to turn it on. Hot water heater broke towards end of our stay. Shower gurgled when toilet flushed. All little things but got to be irritating. To be clear, there is no water entry out front. They recommend entry right next door at Captain Dons. It is quite easy, and I gather the resort doesn’t mind sharing their pier.
