Enjoyable place to stay
We enjoyed the house allowing everyone to have their own bedroom/bathroom for the week and enjoy each other's company with the outside seating area and private pool. Appreciate the convenience of the dive equipment rinsing area and hanging racks to dry out equipment easily. Kitchen has all the basics needed. The family room was smaller than pictured but usable. Surprisingly, the plane noise was not that bad being located adjacent to the airport.

Private comfort in the diver’s paradise
The Turtles Nest is perfect for us: four friends who don’t like sharing bedrooms or bathrooms. I had the master suite which is quite lux, but everyone else was happy with their accommodations too. This was our 2nd stay and we hope to return again next year. The villa has everything we need, including a very well-equipped and supplied kitchen, a beautiful pool, and privacy. I highly recommend this place.

An amazing Villa Experience!!!
First, the images do not do this awesome property any justice. The minute we walked in, my family and I thought 'instant relaxation.' The villa is nicely decorated in colorful beach-themed furnishings with comfort in mind. The kitchen was well-equipped to suit all of our cooking and dining needs. All four bedrooms were delightfully spacious with their own bathrooms (3 en-suite). The outdoor area was perfect for entertaining - for grilling, dining and just lounging. The pool area was spectacular as well - every day/night my family I took a dip in the pool to cool off and relax. Any questions we had about the Villa were immediately addressed/followed up by Zwaantje, who was incredibly responsive and quite lovely. We cannot wait to return to Bonaire and hope to stay @ Watervillas!

Sehr schöner Urlaub mit Unterkunft
Hallo Zusammen der Aufenthalt in der Villa mit Pool war sehr schön. Alles beschriebene was das Haus beinhaltet, war mehr als vorhanden. Sehr sauber, sehr ruhig, einfach sehr angenehm zum wohnen. Wir werden jedenfalls wieder die Immobilie mieten. Selbst der Flughafen hat man nicht wirklich gehört, max. 2 Flugzeuge kommen oder starten. Wir können die Villa nur weiterempfehlen. Tip Top, danke hierfür.

Bonaire Vacation Home - Must See!!
This property was fantastic! Not only was in within walking distance to the airport, but it was also within a short drive to everything that Bonaire has to offer. The house itself was perfect and had all the necessary amenities one would need when vacationing in Bonaire. The house included 4 comfortable bedrooms each with bathroom. A full kitchen and living room as well as a picture perfect pool area and patio, complete with a gas grill and outside eating area. This home certainly did not disappoint! Cannot wait to visit again!

Beautiful home close to everything!!! LOVED IT!!!
This beautiful home was so close to everything! This home was within walkable distance to the water AND the airport. I was worried it may be loud because of the proximity of the airport, but there is minimal air traffic, so I never heard anything. It is a very short drive to the city center and grocery stores. The home is beautiful, clean, and modern. It looks just like the pictures. I felt like I was on my own private tropical resort. The outdoor dining table is perfect for family style dining. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you could possibly need from cooking utensils to an espresso machine. The pool is beautiful and great to jump in on a hot day! It is close enough to walk to the water. There are chairs and coolers at the house that you can take to the beach for the day. This comes in handy for a day of swimming and snorkeling! This house had fast and efficient Wi-Fi which was important for me, so I could complete my work. The cable came in handy for watching movies at night when winding down. This home had everything I could have needed, in the best location. They even had a guide on the table with recommendations on where to eat, dive, shop etc. This came in handy when deciding where to go and what to do for the day! I would highly recommend staying here. I cannot wait to go back!!!

FABULOUS! Ocean access, private dock, pool!
Water Villas 2 (called Turtle's Nest) is an incredible property, and we LOVED it! We felt like we were staying in our own private resort. This is a brand new house in an upscale, secure gated community, with it's own boat dock! You can rent a boat and keep it right in your backyard! The private inground pool overlooks the canals leading to the sea. We're divers, and we appreciated the ability to wash and hang our gear on the provided racks. The beds are super comfortable and the bathrooms look like a spa. The furniture is high-end, and the kitchen is completely equipped with everything you need. We didn't use all four bedrooms, but it was great having the flexibility of all the beds and baths, both up and downstairs. There were only two of us, but a large group would have plenty of privacy. The owners are incredibly nice people, and really want you to have a wonderful vacation. They are also divers, and the walls have gorgeous underwater photos they've taken. Close to downtown and dive sites. This is one of the nicest vacation rentals we've ever seen, and we can't wait to go back!

ABSOLUTELY, UTTERLY INCREDIBLE!
I cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful house!! My husband and I had never been to Bonaire, so imagine our surprise when we had the opportunity to visit this house -- literally walking distance from the airport AND the beach! We watched our friends walk into the ocean in their scuba gear and just disappear. Unbelievable! This house has EVERYTHING you need, so thoughtfully arranged -- from the cooking utensils to the pool toys and the rack for hanging your scuba gear on the back deck. Each bedroom has its own bathroom -- IMPERATIVE when traveling with a group of families. The decor in the house is beautiful but comfortable -- the owners obviously put their hearts into it. The grocery store is nearby, as well as "downtown." We took advantage of everything within 15 minutes of the house including scuba, food trucks on the beach, 5-star restaurants, casino and boating. You name it -- we did it! As you can see, we had the best time of our lives. You will NOT be disappointed :-)
