Wonderful location.
Beautiful, clean condo with direct access to the lagoon. You truly cannot beat the location just steps to many restaurants and beach front eateries. Check in and out was easy and quick. Host was awesome, great communication and helpful! We will defiantly return.

Exactly as described and exactly what we were hoping for!
We were looking for a quiet vrbo with easy access to swimming and snorkeling. While it's across from the Sequarium, it is not very noisy when there are shows. Plus I love that in the early morning the visitors are young disabled children who interact with the dolphins and their trainers. But most of the time there are only a few others in the water the same time as you. You can easily swim to the beach and use a lounge chair if you want.The vrbo is 1.2 km to Mambo Beach Blvd so you can get a nice meal. "Bocas" was our favorite; we ate there twice. Plus you can walk to Olas y Copas for a nice meal.The apartment has everything you need. There is A/C in the bedroom but we didn't use it. We kept the doors open so there was a cross breeze and we could hear the waves breaking over the reef. Very relaxing!It's rare for my husband and myself to agree that we want to stay at a vrbo more than once, but I now know that anytime we want a water-based relaxing vacation, we will book this vrbo again.The only thing I would add is that it is located at the end of Bapor Kipra, but turn right at the end of the street and drive past Lion's Dive to Ocean Resorts. Signage is lacking and we had a difficult time finding it because our rental car didn't have navigation and my cell phone didn't work.This place is worth way more than 5 stars and Jo and Heike we very nice to work with.

The property was lovely and so were the hosts! Watching the fish in the lagoon in the evening was probably my favorite. Walking distance to a secluded beach or the Mambo beach area with places to grab a bite. We would stay there again if we go back to Curaçao.

Amazing property!
Everything was just as described and we very much enjoyed our stay. Great location with easy walk to Mambo Beach. We loved snorkeling right from our deck. It was so enjoyable that it made it difficult to leave on certain days and explore other parts of the island. We would definitely come back when we return to Curaçao.

Wonderful week stay at this waterfront property. It had everything we needed for our first trip to Curaçao. It was well equipped for cooking in. Loved being able to sit outside with our coffee and watch the dolphins everyday as well as being able to hop off the sundeck into the lagoon to cool off. Very close to Mambo beach and several restaurants that we could walk to as well as the Sea Aquarium. Olas Y Copas and The Green Room were our favorites. Communication with our host was great and she was able to help us out for recommendations when our baggage was delayed. We are looking forward to coming back here next year as we’ve found our new favorite winter retreat.

The location is good for access to Mambo Beach. We enjoyed snorkeling the lagoon off the deck and saw many fish and an octopus. Unit is very warm and could benefit from a steel gate door that locks to promote more airflow.

Snorkel Delight
Check in was easy w/Jo meeting us at the gate and giving us a tour of the unit. She made sure we understood how everything operated and responded quickly when we had a problem. Breeze was adequate to keep us comfortable w/o AC except in bedroom at night. We snorkeled or swam every day from the dock and it was easy to reach many other snorkel locations as well. Property is perhaps even better than advertised.

Nice quiet place to stay.
Quiet place to stay but if you want more of a commercialized atmosphere it is just a short walk. We loved Hemingways restaurant, their wraps are great. The burger I would skip. Great food! We also ate at the sushi restaurant very good! Mexican restaurant good too! All the restaurants we ate at were nice portions and never a disappointment. The host was very friendly and super easy to communicate with. Quick to reply on any of my questions. No fishing off the deck. Great location if you like to snorkel In calm waters. Dolphins and sharks across the cove at the sea aquarium.

We just returned from an 8 day stay, & it was amazing. The location is perfect. Close to Mambo Beach if you want action & the secluded lagoon if you want relaxation. We rented a car & it was a great location for a starting point to visit other parts of the island as well. Everything inside was clean & well maintained. The pictures don’t do it justice! We are already talking about coming back!

A wonderful spot
Literally right on the water, this rental gives you the essentials with a great view and easy swimming. Use the included snorkel equipment to swim right up to large tuna, sharks, and dolphins at the aquarium. If you are looking for wild critters, the lagoon has tons of fish and a reef nearby. The kitchen is workable, but who wants to cook during vacation anways. The host was responsive and addressed a few concerns around the amenities promptly. Highly recommended!

Wow what a beautiful property and the location is absolutely perfect! Walk out you patio door to the most amazing Lagoon you have seen. Chrystal clear, serenity! Swimming and snorkelling was incredible. Then 30 steps away hit Mambo Beach where you can dine and dance the night away! Truly a Gem location! The apartment was very comfortable. The bed luxurious and the kitchen had everything we needed for our 9 day stay! Jo was exceptional and guiding us to all of the best things to do on the island! Very helpful at the tap of a finger.

Magical Location
The amenities available at this property are perfect. The unit has direct access to the lagoon which is teeming with tropical sea life. We loved diving off the dock for a swim or snorkel. You will need to be physically fit enough to climb up the ladder to return to the dock. There are dock lights that illuminate the rocks below, great for watching the nighttime sea life. The outdoor space is in 3 levels which we enjoyed throughout the day. There is a gorgeous pool area and a private beach for guests of the resort. The pool area is a 30 second walk from the unit and has restrooms/changing area and an outdoor shower. The landscaping is lush. Wish I could grow a Bismarck Palm tree like those at the pool area in Maine! The aquarium is just across the lagoon and holds dolphin shows each day. It was so neat to hear their calls and see their jumps and tricks. We made reservations for the swim with dolphins experience, which was worth the cost. The property is connected to the Mambo Beach area with restaurants and bars steps away. Although the unit has a fully equipped kitchen it was great to have the option to go out for drinks and dinner when we chose to. The bedroom is quite and the AC unit aided in a great sleeping environment. The bathroom is newly renovated - we loved the walk in shower. Jo was quick to answer questions throughout the rental process. I look forward to returning again soon.

This is what paradise looks like!
I don't think there's a better location in all of Curaçao. To get up every day and open the back doors wide and see that beautiful turquoise lagoon is amazing. You can snorkel right off your back deck (snorkel gear provided.) There is a lovely pool, but for the first time ever, we didn't use it. With the lagoon and the beach right there, we didn't need it. The beach is just on the other side of a couple of other units. You can watch the dolphins jump in the Seaquarium, but it was completely peaceful. No noise except for the dolphins slapping the water with their fins occasionally and the waves breaking on the rocks. The location is very convenient to Punda, Willemstad, Jan Thiel, and more. Jo is great to work with. She met us at the unit upon arrival and explained everything and gave us lots of information. We stayed under the electricity allotment because you really only need AC in the bedroom at night. I was amazed at how cool the trade winds are. I can't recommend this location more highly. Dushi!

From the moment I walked in the door and out onto the deck I knew I was going to have the best week ever. The picturesque view left me speechless. I spent most of the week relaxing on the deck getting some vitamin D and enjoying the sound of the water.

We loved being right on the lagoon. We spent free time watching the dolphins from the sea aquarium across the lagoon. We also enjoyed regular visits from iguanas, blue tail whips, and Trupials.

We found Paradise!
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this property. The layout and the location of this apartement is incredible - like others before us - we had an hard time leaving the deck to go explore the island. We had this blue lagoon to ourselves, doplhins just in front (I spent hours in the water, just looking at them from under the bridge) and everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. Two grocerie stores were at 10 minutes drive and it's about 15min drive to downtown Willemstad. Mambo beach is litterally next door and we enjoyed some of their restaurants when we were not feeling like cooking our own meals. It's definitely worth it to explore the island as there is incredible snorkeling beaches - it feels like entering an aquarium (water is crystal clear and lots of fishes variety). This condo definitely had all we could wish for and we're already talking of going back, as this was really a paradise for us. Thank you again Jo, for answering all my questions prior to the trip and for sharing your home with us. We'll be back :) Thanks, Isabelle (Montreal, Canada)

One of a kind experience...
Magical. Heavenly. Serene. These words only begin to describe this experience. When you arrive, you walk through a lovely apartment that's very clean and well equipped. As you walk to the back deck, you realize that there are three more "rooms," all of them outside, each creating a different way to experience your own seemingly private lagoon. The first of these outdoor rooms provides a place to dine, read, or simply enjoy a moment to take it all in at a full size table in the shade. A step down and you can sit and enjoy the view from the second "room" or level of the three tier patio-deck. Upon reaching the waterfront tier, you realize that you the lagoon is your own in which to swim and snorkel whenever you like. The lagoon was teaming with sea-life. The trumpet fish were my favorite. I cannot go on without mentioning the dolphins. Just across the lagoon and in full view from your outdoor rooms is the Curacao Sea Aquarium and Dolphin Academy. While snorkeling or merely floating on water noodles, we were able to watch the dolphins play with disabled children. Its indescribable what this dolphin experience was to these children. And to watch this from the water.... well let's just say I contributed some salt water of my own to the lagoon that day. After taking a few walks to Mambo Beach (and visits to beach bars and restaurants) less than five minutes away, we realized we could float or swim there. So we did, each time bringing a credit card so that we might avail ourselves of a post-swim cocktail at one of the beach bars with snorkeling gear or swim noodles in hand. We did this often. I highly recommend it. While touristy, Mambo Beach is really quite lovely. If you see two cruise ships at the terminal, however, you might want to choose to drive to one of the world class beaches on the northwest side of the island. One comes to Curacao to enjoy the ocean, the people, and the outside life of Island living. We got lucky as this is one of the very best places to enjoy all three. For fine dining don't miss Pietermaai, the SOHO of Curacao just east of Punda. The restaurants, live music, and beach clubs, all set among and within Dutch colonial architecture, are simply amazing and only a ten minute drive away. Bon Bini. Enjoy your stay.
