About this property

Bon bini! We invite you to be our guests in our Caribbean home on the beautiful island of Curacao. Your master bedroom looks through the shady garden to the ocean. Bring your coffee out to the deck in the morning and watch the fishermen heading out to sea followed by the frigate birds and brown footed boobies. Glimpse a sea turtle cruising by or if you are lucky pods of whales or dolphins cruising up the coast. Since we face west you won't want to miss sunset out there followed by a night sky awash in stars.

Walk in either direction, through our sleepy village of Lagun, to one of two neighborhood beaches. Cook in or dine out at one of many nearby restaurants. Tour the island's rural west end to find cozy beaches, beautiful beach entry dive sites, amazing hiking and mountain biking trails. Drive into Willemstad, a world heritage port capital, for shopping, dining, museums or to watch the tugs guiding huge tankers into port.

Wonderful 10 days in paradise

We had a wonderful time at Sol Patch. The bedroom, bathroom and outdoor kitchen were exceptionally clean and well decorated. The shared outside space was nice. And the patio, deck was so relaxing. We really enjoyed their sweet dogs that were waiting to greet us every morning. We really enjoyed our stay. The only things that I wasn't super happy with was, it didn't feel very private. I was thinking the house was separate from their home, but it really wasn't. We could hear every time they moved around the house and I'm sure they could hear us. The bedroom window has a light curtain on it and faces their front porch/ living room. So no waking around naked. Lol The home is also a pretty good drive from Willemstad, about 45 minutes. The traffic is not fun to drive in. So we rarely drove into town. It's also very warm there and my husband was told to not run the AC when we left. So we would only turn it on at night. It just didn't feel very comfortable. All in all a good trip. Owners were so nice and accommodating. Especially when both of us got a viral infection while we were there and had no idea how to get meds. Ugh!! Thank goodness for her magic box of random meds. The home is also very close to a lot of restaurants and beaches. We rented a car and driving around was no issue, minus the crazy round abouts. I've never seen so many in my entire life.

Peaceful Escape

My teen daughter & I were fortunate enough to stay at this Lagun home for a week. Joel & Lisa are lovely hosts, who I'd love to have as full-time neighbors. I have stayed at other properties of their's before & they are always beautifully decorated, clean & are as advertised. What you can't see from the listings is the calm, serene feeling or the sounds of the birds & critters or the smells of the flowers & sea... There was always something new to discover on the property; a fun colored lizard, a piece of art we hadn't noticed before, dolphins swimming past as we relaxed on the Bali bed. It's an easy drive to many great beaches, restaurants & natural attractions, while being away from the busy tourist areas like JanThiel.

My wife and I had an amazing time. Property was even more beautiful than we had dreamed. Very easy to relax on the property and soak up the incredible views. 2 beach’s within walking distance with many more just a short drive away. Joel and Lisa were excellent hosts and always answered any questions we had regarding the island. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Beautiful and Cozy

Beautiful and cozy place to stay. The outdoor space was perfect for cooking and dining. Absolutely loved the deck space. We spent most of our time there relaxing, watching the ocean and drinking coffee in the morning. Swimming off the steps was beautiful and the visibility was amazing. The place is centrally located near the beaches and restaurants. What makes the place so special is Joel and Lisa who live there too. They are absolutely wonderful people. Very helpful with questions and suggestion for restaurants and site seeing. There two little dogs are super sweet we enjoyed their company too. We went diving with at Bahia the local dive shop. Wonderful people to work with. We had an amazing time in Curacao and will be returning and staying here again.

Sol Patch Lagun

My husband and I had such a lovely time in Lagun, and Sol Patch was the perfect place to stay- in a quiet location, but close to the beach and restaurant. Lisa and Joel were the perfect hosts, and gave us lots of advice on places to go that we wouldn’t have otherwise have discovered. It would have been easy to spend the days sitting on the deck, and snorkelling off the steps. We wish we’d had longer. Thankyou Lisa and Joel for sharing your beautiful space .

Amazing

From our first communication with Lisa and Joel until the minute we checked out we felt we were with friends. The apartment is comfotable, fun, and kitschy, and the outdoor kitchen has everything you need to cook basic meals. The highlights for us were the day bed perched 30’ above the ocean, the direct access to the water for crystal clear snorkeling,

Special Place, Special People

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Lisa and Joel's. The location can't be beat. We were looking for a quiet, laid back week away from home. We spent a lot of time on the deck looking out over the ocean, and it was so easy to walk down the steps to hop into the ocean for a swim as well. It's walkable to two beaches, a couple of restaurants, hiking trails...and many more within a short drive. The property and location alone is spectacular, but Lisa and Joel are truly what makes this place special. One of the major highlights of our trip was sharing a meal with them. So kind and welcoming, they were eager to share their knowledge of their beautiful island. Thank you so much for a wonderful week away from home.

Incredible Stay

We had an incredible time on our first trip to Curacao. I am so glad we booked our stay at Sol Patch Lagun. Joel & Lisa were wonderful hosts and provided a wealth of information for our stay on the island. It was so enjoyable visiting with our hosts and learning so much about them and their love of the area. Our room at Sol Patch exceeded our expectations with so many creative touches and beautiful details. The gardens and decks were absolutely stunning. We loved watching the sunset from the deck and used the swinging bed for afternoon reading. Incredible snorkeling was just steps away and Playa Jeremi and Playa Lagun were just a short snorkel or walk away. Milo & Huck are the sweetest dogs and we enjoyed their company during our stay. We highly recommend Sol Patch and hope to come back again soon.

Perfect spot for 2

Our stay was wonderful. Joel and Lisa are wonderful hosts who were happy to accommodate any requests we had. Their place is located in a perfect spot on the western part of the island, which in our opinion, is the best part of Curacao. We had easy access steps right into the water, a comfortable bed, a mini outdoor kitchen that had everything we needed and even fresh aloe was offered for our sun burns! They also have a secret connection to a neighbor friend who will make you the best dumplings you’ve ever had and deliver them to your door. It was really perfect.

Breathtaking view, ultimate relaxation, wonderful hosts

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Lisa and Joel's place. They were lovely hosts, friendly, with lots of recommendations, but also plenty of space and privacy as well. This location is perfect!!! Lagun is perfect town, a beautiful beach and a few great places to eat. From Lagun, it's easy to explore north of island, including hiking to top of Christoffel Mountain, seeing flamingos at Sint Willibordus, swimming with turtles at Playa Piskado. The deck at this rental was an incredible place to begin and end each day. The bed is perfectly relaxing. The stars at night go on forever. And we absolutely made use of those stairs that went right down to the water. It was great to be able to jump right into the water right at the rental. The snorkeling was incredible! Thank you for opening your home to us Lisa and Joel, we look forward to seeing you again!

Great place to unplug

Joel and Lisa were easy to communicate with. This rental is a master suite next to their home and we shared common outdoor space. The suite is well done with enough room to relax but the outdoor space is the real beauty of this rental. The view of the Caribbean was worth the trip alone from their deck and day bed. Although we shared the outdoor space, we saw Joel and Lisa only for short periods of time and when we did they were very helpful sharing their insights to the island. Snorkeling just below the deck was easy and beautiful. We would highly recommend this location for a couple.

very peaceful

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property and the peacefulness. It was a very comfortable stay. The beauty of the sea in the mornings and evenings were great ways to start and end the day. The internet was a little sketchy while we were there, but it was a vacation to chill so found out we were ok without it. Joel and Lisa were very, very helpful in guiding us to local areas to enjoy. So thankful to have their expertise for the trip. We are so glad we met this wonderful couple and had some awesome conversations.

Truly Magical

What can we say? Our time in Curaçao, in Lagun, and with Joel and Lisa blew us away. The photos do not do this property or ambiance justice - it was a truly unique and magical experience. My friends were convinced from my photos that I was staying. at a luxury resort, but this was even better than that. My partner and I came for a last minute getaway from New York and we’re floored by the hospitality of the island and the charm of Lagun. We loved hanging around the deck in the morning, exploring the local beaches, restaurants, and hiking during the day and dining in or out at night. Joel and Lisa deserve all the 5-star reviews on here - they were incredible hosts, rife with stories from the island, past lives, and travels. We loved our time with them. Pro tips: rent a car, explore the whole island - there is SO much to see and it’s easy to do, get creative with your cooking in the outdoor kitchen, and watch the sky transition from sunset to stars from the back deck.

Relaxing Oasis

My wife and I stayed at Sol Patch Lagun for 3 days, March 2022. What a splendid setting and home! I can't stop thinking about how comfortable and inviting the shared backyard area was, with its cozy "living room," dining area, and deck overlooking the ocean. Lisa and Joel have created an idyllic garden setting for relaxing and enjoying the best of Curaçao. The bedroom is also comfortable and stylish and similarly decorated with artwork from their travels. Lisa and Joel are amazing hosts, and we were delighted to begin to get to know them. Molly and Huck (their dogs) are also so sweet! Two things travelers should be aware of: the bed is very firm! they have a septic system, so you'll be asked to use a bidet spray, and put your toilet paper in a waste can. This was a new adventure for me, but now that I've tried a bidet, I'm hooked! We look forward to visiting Sol Lagun again one day, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Cook

Originally from upstate NY, we are international school teachers who have spent our careers living and teaching abroad. Our first posting was on Curacao back in the 1990's and after nearly 20 years in Asia and the Middle East, we've finally returned to our beloved island.

Why they chose this property

Unlike many properties on the island, we have gone to great lengths to preserve the large trees planted years ago by the original owner. The house was designed to face the trade winds and we've taken advantage of them as well so that during the heat of the day you can sit out in the shade of the garden and keep comfortably cool.

What makes this property unique

The village of Lagun, on the west end of the island, puts you in the center of island life. Removed from the hustle bustle of the big all inclusive resorts you'll see authentic island life on a daily basis. Explore our beautiful secluded coves and beaches perfect for snorkeling, diving and sun bathing. Hike or mountain bike on miles of off road trails. Climb Mount Christoffel in the national park just minutes from the house.
The Nina Sanchez art gallery is a must see when you go to Willibordous to photograph the pink flamingoes in the old salt pans. Stop for a beer or cold coconut water at any of the local roadside "tokos" and don't be surprised if one of the local guys shows up riding his beautiful Passifino horse and ties it up next to your car. Sit in the garden and be surrounded by birds, watch our resident Kestrels building their nest in the next door neighbor's roof or watch for dolphins (and the occasional pod of whales) from the back deck. You can cook in or try any number of local restaurants in the area - you won't want to miss the goat stew in Barber, David and Sunshine's pizza at Sol Food in Westpunt, Indonesian night at Landhuis Daniel or any of the delicious dishes at Trio Penotti next to the national park. We love the west end of Curacao and have loads of ideas to make your stay with us memorable.
