About this property

Villa Oceane - Ocean Front, Infinity Pool, Set up for Divers, Gated Community

Villa Oceane takes advantage of some of Bonaire's best views and the Caribbean trade winds to catch a beautiful sunset and cool breeze from your infinity pool or roof terrace. Located 10 minutes from Kralendijk and 5 minutes from north dive sites, but tucked away in secluded privacy this villa in the El Pueblo Villas community offers the best of both worlds of Bonaire!

The open plan living area and kitchen brings the outdoor beauty to you inside with screened doors and large windows. The master bedroom is en-suite, with large closet, comfy seating areas and a small balcony area. The 2nd (queen) and 3rd ( 2 x twin bed) share a jack and jill bathroom.
**2022 Update - There is NOT air-conditioning in the living area nor a closet in the 3rd bedroom**

After diving at one of the nearby well loved sites (Oil Slick Leap and 1000 steps are within a few minutes drive) you can rinse your gear in the parking adjacent rinse tanks and take a refreshing outdoor shower before jumping in the infinity pool! Enjoy the nature and sea views from the pool deck, while grilling on the gas barbeque and watch for shootings star from the rooftop deck. Villa Oceane will be your perfect home base for a fun and rejuvenating vacation on Bonaire!

Beautiful Villa

We loved the privacy of the villa and the stunning views. Spent a lot of time in the infinity pool and also loved being so close to the Northern dive sites. The only down side was having to drive into town for dinner. (~10 to 15min drive.) But overall would highly recommend staying at Villa Oceane.

One of our best stay on Bonaire

We come to Bonaire once or twice a year, but it has been different with this pandemic. A Bonaire holiday was long overdue. Overall the villa is fantastic, the location, the view...I only gave it a 4 star review overall as we had some problems during our stay with the dishwasher, maintenance workers had to come twice to finally fix the problems. It has more to do with the owner's decisions of letting such an old dishwasher in the kitchen, all the wood on the baseboard is rotten. The fridge looks very rusty, when you pay that much for a week, you would want to have a great looking kitchen. Also, the owner has locked the closet in one of the bedroom for his private use, meaning that the guests staying in this bedroom had to live out of their suitcase. An extra wardrobe or sets of drawers would be welcome. However Kristen and her staff, the handling of the property agent of Island Time Vacation have done a superb job, great communication throughout, very responsive (sent a maintenance person on a Sunday). Check in and check out were a breeze. I will definitely keep this property management business in mind for my future rentals on Bonaire.

Great view!

The view was gorgeous. The pool was great. Although it is "ocean front", it isn't ocean access right in front. The driveway is super steep and narrow, so bit of a challenge with a manual truck. The parking spot across from it was always occupied and has "no parking" signs. Otherwise a beautiful place to be!

View of paradise

This is one of our favorite properties we have stayed at on the island. From the level of detail and care upon arrival to the time we left, we truly felt cared for by Kristen. The home is absolutely beautiful and the ocean-views from the entire house are breathtaking. We cannot recommend this home or rental company enough.

Fantastic vacation rental!

This villa was one of the best vacation rentals in which we have ever staye. The house is thoughtfully laid out. Plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen was easy to cook in after deciphering the Dutch instructions on the oven. Waking up to that view was the best! After diving all day, relaxing in the infinity pool was perfect (and the double rinse tanks made clean up easy). Quiet, safe gated neighborhood, close to town and shopping but far from the craziness of the cruise ship crowds. Beautiful shore snorkeling/diving spots were just a short walk away.

Great week at Villa Oceane

We spent the week of July 8,2018 The house is beautiful and clean. The pictures you see on the web are what you will see when you get to the house. Kristen was very helpful. Security is excellent with a alarm for the house and a secure gate to get into the neighborhood. We will definitely rent this house again. Chris and Donna

Breathtaking

The views are amazing, the pool is the perfect size, the roof top deck is the perfect place to see the sun set. We found a lot of unexpected pleasant surprises like the nose wireless speaker and a large amount of home comforts. There is a perfect amount of sun and shade spots to relax in.

Beautiful view/just like the pics inside.

Very close to 100% excellent. Would be even better if there was shade on roof porch(then i could have spent more time up there like we did every night with cocktails:) Pathway to "beach" is pathway to a cliff with a bench to take in the view. Could make it down on a dare but on a 1 to 10 it is 8.7 hard. Had a great stay:)

Paradise

This is our second year staying at El Pueblo Villas. The booking process was done with ease with the help of Kristen Walker at Island Time Rentals. Her attention to detail is second to none. She worked tirelessly with us to find the right amenities we needed for our stay. She is knowledgeable, and is always available to assist you at any given time. Contact Kristen and let your dream vacation begin.

Great villa w/ fabulous view, convenient location, and responsive staff

My family of four really enjoyed our week long stay at Villa Oceane! The landscaping was beautiful and full of flowers. The house was attractive, modern, sanitary, and well furnished. The infinity pool was warm, clean, and relaxing. The patio was perfect for eating breakfast and dinner. The kitchen is fully equipped and functional. The observation deck was great for watching sunsets and star gazing. The location provided convenient access to Washington-Slagbaii National Park, Rincon, Kralendijk, and many of the best dive/snorkel sites. Traffic is light around El Pueblo and the noise is minimal (with the exception of some intermittent house construction). Oil slick leap, a 10 minute walk, is great for a quick dive/snorkel or fun leap into the water. Kristen was an excellent and very responsive representative for Island Times. She provided us with many suggestions for restaurants, snorkeling, and shopping. She quickly addressed some minor issues. During our stay, we enjoyed hiking Mount Brandaris (very hot and many prickly cacti, but great views), the cliff jump at Boca-Slagbaii (scary, but very fun), wind surfing at Lac Bay, a morning at No-Name beach (amazing beach with excellent snorkeling), sailing/snorkeling/dolphin watching with Epic-Tours (small group of 6, great captain, excellent food and beverages), dining at "At Sea" (chef's choice was fantastic), lunch at the Bonaire Blond Brewery (very good beer and appetizers), a meal at Posada Para Mira (goat stew and iguana soup), bird watching, much snorkeling, and several lunch picnics by the ocean. Villa Oceane was great choice for our Bonaire vacation. We would definitely rent again.

Amazing Views!

This was our second trip to this wonderful property! It never disappoints - the house is perfectly situated for spectacular views of the sea in every direction. We rented bikes and did a morning ride along the ocean just below the house and back to the infinity pool to cool off. Diving and snorkeling are conveniently a short walk away. Windsurfing Beach is a nice ride just on the other side of town. The house is well appointed, large rooms give everyone their own space and perfect deck for happy hour and grilling. Kristen was so helpful throughout our entire stay - can't thank you enough! We can't wait to come back next year!

Bonaire

This house was gorgeous and had all of the amenities one would want away from home. The infinity pool was beautiful overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed being able to scuba dive at a close site (Oil Slick Leap) as this became a favorite with our family. It was nice to come home after a day of diving and be able to sit outside and watch the sunset. Having the BBQ was nice as we cooked at home. The place was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. Kristin (Island Time Manager) greeted us at the Villa with a cold drink and was very helpful. She was quick to respond with questions about car reservations, scuba diving companies, and any other items we checked before coming to the house. She also helped with restaurant suggestions, shopping, and so much more. At the end of our trip, it was hard to leave this home and Bonaire.

Tranquility in Bonaire

Our family came to Bonaire on a dive and snorkel vacation for springbreak. We usually rent villas or homes since it makes it so easy for comfort, eating in, and relaxing rather than being crammed in a hotel room with nothing to do. This villa did not disappoint us on all fronts. The private location and very private pool were fantastic. The appliances and other amenities were newer and worked well. The grounds were very nice and with the flowers blooming, it made it a butterfly garden. The rooftop patio was awesome in the morning with a nice breeze as well as evening to watch the sunset. The two negatives (and these are minor) is that in the mid afternoon, the sun coming in through the kitchen window is pretty strong. A better blind or shade would help out. The second was the pillows - they were a bit firm for our taste. But again, these are minor in comparison to what the overall villa delivers. I would highly recommend for families and even for romantic honeymoooners.

Beautiful private oasis

Our stay at Villa Oceane was amazing. This is actually our second time renting the villa and it did not disappoint. The view is amazing and the pool was refreshing and the location is perfect, just minutes from some of the best dive locations. We used the grill and the kitchen every day, with that view and pool its hard to leave the property for dinner. Kristin (from vacation rentals) was also great. She met us the night we flew in and had cold beers and wine waiting for us. She answered all our questions and was available all week in case we needed her. Rent the villa, you won't be disappointed!!

Great View, Great Flow, Great Location

Overall the villa is wonderful, you will never want to leave it! Pro's: The panoramic views are captivating. Trade winds blow constantly keeping things cool. House design is great with great flow and everything you need. Gardens around villa are wonderful and create great privacy with neighbors. Parakeets, hummingbirds and other birds all around the property. Outdoor shower was wonderful. Rinse tanks and hanging / drying area are great. Grill on property was great for eating in. US and European electric outlets provided. The panoramic views are captivating. Con's: all that is listed is small compared to the pro's! You are billed for electricity if it goes over some amount that is unknown to the guests. We are not alarm people but house has an alarm that we couldn't figure out how to activate/use. A/C is each room but unit in Master Bedroom didn't work. The original listing was for "two people, extra people are charged more." The villa has beds for 6. It seems the price should include cost for 6 people then extra people charge after 6. All said, the nightly villa price is more than fair. You just have to incorporate fees on top of nightly price for extra people and electricity. Kinda like bringing bags on a plane! Thanks Kristen for all your help and wonderful stay. Scuba Diving was awesome as was the Villa. Paul and Kerry

Great 'little' Getaway!

We had a great time in this beautiful villa on Bonaire. The view and surroundings are simply breath taking, and even more beautiful than on the pictures. The villa is perfectly located with easy access to the dive spots (right in front of the door), and Kralendijk. The swimming pool, roof top terrace, barbecue, and comfortable beds are simply amazing after a great day of diving! Florian & Cato

Wonderful week.....we want to come back!

This was our first trip to Bonaire and definitely won't be our last! Booking a vacation rental in a foreign country is always a little scary....you worry about being taken advantage of. Kristen was able to help communicate back with us so we knew that it was a legitimate rental and that there would be a great place for the family to enjoy. Luckily for us when we arrived, it was easy for us to figure out how to get to the community. It's a short drive from the airport, yet in a nice, secluded part of the island. And even though it's about 10 minutes to the main part of the island, you are seconds away from great dive / snorkeling sites! Kristen provided us with a list of stores and restaurants to consider for our trip. When we landed, we decided to skip shopping and headed straight to the house. Upon arrival, we found out that the fridge was broken. Had we bought a weeks worth of groceries, they would have been ruined. Kristen notified us that they were trying to get someone to come repair the fridge for us. Since it was a Saturday, we figured it would be hard to get someone until Monday. Luckily we were able to go down the road and get items we could cook for the night. On Monday, Kristen let us know that they would be purchasing a new fridge since the repairs would not be completed during our time there. They soon had a brand new fridge in and a reservation at Rum Runners for us as a thank you! Kristen was in contact with us for most of the week, helping as needed and making sure all of our needs were met. She was like our own concierge for the trip! The house is very nice. The kids particularly loved the pool and the mosquito nets at the house. We loved that we could pop down to Oil Slick, Jeff Davis and 1000 Steps and be back in a couple of minutes. The back patio and roof top deck were especially nice to hang out on...I think we spent more time there than inside the home. The oven took some time to figure out, but we eventually got the hang of it. There is enough breeze around the house that you can open up the back and front and not worry about the AC. If you are considering a trip to Bonaire, you should consider this home. It's slightly higher than the condos closer into the city, but the privacy (we never heard / saw the neighbors) and the private pool are worth it. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us, and if the kids had brought friends, there was still room! Rent a pick up truck and take an afternoon discovering the island!

Villa Oceane? Just paradise!

My mom and I stayed in villa Oceane for two weeks. What a wonderful experience! It all started with a great communication with Kirsten from Island Time Vacation Rentals… before, during and even after our holiday. She answered all my questions within a day, nothing was to much to handle for her. What a nice lady! We arrived in the villa on a Saturday evening where Kirsten was waiting for us with a cold drink and clear information concerning the house. Yes, we LOVED the villa. It’s spacious, modern and well equipped. All luxury is present: comfortable beds, plenty of soft towels, care products, dishwasher, BBQ, stunning swimming pool, breathtaking ocean view… And once a week the swimming pool and the house get cleaned. Once in a while Kirsten came to visit us to check if everything was allright and if she could help us with some reservations. She gave us a cell phone in order to call her any time. So convenient! One day I texted her that the gass bottle of the BBQ was empty and the next day when we came ‘home’, it was fixed. A big pat on the back for the organisation and especially for Kirsten! Do you intend to visit Bonaire? Don’t hesitate to book villa Oceane… you won’t regret it! Just one word… amazing! Best regards, Isebel & Josephine
