Great experience for everyone
We stayed here for 12 nights. We were really happy with the property. The location is excellent, not only for the beach/pool but the walking distance to the city centre and an endless choice of great restaurants. We would definitely recommend and will likely be back.

Great Stay
Luckily this year spring breaks aligned letting us get away as a family and this was a great place to do it. Clean, bright, easy access to diving, dinning, shopping, and a private lagoon. Daytime highs in the mid eighties would have us running the AC at home, here, open the doors/windows and the steady breeze off the ocean kept us comfortable. Great place to stay, friendly staff and plenty of room. We plan to return.

Amazing view and beach. Great for an almost 2 year old to swim in the ocean - so protected and safe
Beautiful condo! Such an amazing place to swim in the ocean. The protected beach was private and safe and warm. Only concern was dryer. Our clothes never got completely dry.

Great stay!
Wonderful stay, listing was accurate and the view was even better in person. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the home provided all the amenities that we needed plus more. Great location with tons of restaurants in walking distance, awesome beach and pool for kids and adults. The host was also awesome, very welcoming, great communication and even had welcome goodies for us. We'll definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

we love curacao
We had a wonderful stay and wish we could have stayed longer. We really enjoyed the beach area and the closeness to town. The listing has a few inconsistencies. you are responsible for paper towels and toilet paper after the initial is gone and the wifi has changed than the one stated in the binder but these are little things that did not detract from our stay. This condo was perfect for our family.

Beautiful View - Clean Uncluttered Property
We think this condo is in a great location, and this particular unit has a great view. The unit was clean, ready for our arrival, and boast an admirable view from it's 3rd story location. Four adults stayed here comfortably, the kitchen had everything we needed for any meals we made in the unit. The master and 2nd bedroom are amply sized, the third bedroom is very small, appropriate for a young child, but not an adult. The beautiful balcony has a table and six chairs, a lovely spot for any meal. But there is only one comfortable lounge chair, there really should be two. Overall, we'd be happy to stay hear again.

Time to recharge
Wonderfully relaxing space with that million dollar view. The condo had all we needed for a great stay and is as described. Plenty of towels - beach ones as well. Very clean with a fun selection of books, but mostly in Dutch and we don’t speak the language, but fun to flip through in any case. Kitchen was stocked with all needed to prepare your own meals. Appliances worked perfectly. The bedding seemed to lack a flat sheet on beds, but that is a matter of taste and just what we are used to in the states. There was, however, a lack of bed pillows and when we asked for a few more, none arrived. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return to the same spot upon a return trip to Curaçao!

Fantastic View - Great Location!
The Strand was perfect for us! We are a family of four and to have a bathroom attached to each bedroom was very nice. And, the extra 1/2 bathroom off the kitchen was a bonus! The oversized chair out on the balcony was a family favorite! The building and unit were very clean and quiet. The view is incredible! When we initially booked the unit we were thrilled that there was also a pool but honestly, we spent all our time down on the water or exploring other beaches and the island. We loved that The Strand is within walking distance of Willemstad as well. It was the perfect place for us to unwind!! The check-in and check-out process was easy and Saskia was ready to help with whatever we needed. Tanne was very responsive with her all communication (I had many questions for her prior to our renting the unit). We had no issues whatsoever. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend 3C at The Strand!

Great Location, Hidden Fees
The location is great with a swimming, pool, beach, and snorkeling, right out your door. The condo is spacious and can house 2 to 3 families easily. It is close to shops and restaurants. We would recommend the Wine Cellar. There were, however, hidden charges that we did not expect. We were asked to pay for the electric bill beyond a certain amount per day, which was not in the contract. It’s been three weeks since we rented and we have not received our deposit back nor did we receive any communication as to why. For these reasons, we are giving this condo a low rating and renters should be aware of hidden charges.

Excellent Location
This property is very well positioned. Not only do you have the benefits of a private beach and pool for the limited number of units in the building, but you are within walking distance of downtown Willemstad and many great restaurants within the immediate vicinity of the property. Security is also very good.

Wonderful condo!!
First time to Curacao and I would recommend staying here for so many reason; the location is excellent...close to town, restaurants, a major hotel is a few buildings down and its near other major beach centers; having your own beach on the property was a huge advantage as it can get very busy at other beaches, and this beach was beautiful, beautiful sand, water and your own gorgeous sunsets. The view is outstanding...one of the prettiest Vrbo views I have had. Very quiet building and very clean. The owners are wonderful, they respond so quickly to all of your questions and are very helpful. We would highly recommend this condo!!

Curacao condo
This beautiful condo is about a 7 minute drive from downtown Willemstad where all the action is. You can also walk there in under 30 minutes – we did, almost every day. Gorgeous view from the porch, living room and master bedroom. Very quiet and private. Very clean. Nice quality linens and towels and comfortable beds. The central air works great. Nice pool and private beach with lounge chairs. Fast Internet in the condo and at the beach. Generous supply of toilet paper and paper towels. Very responsive when you have a question or an issue. The only reason we did not rate this property with five stars is that the hot water did not work in either the master bathroom shower or in the second bedroom shower. So we had to shower in the third small bathroom off of the small third single bedroom (think cruise ship sized shower).

Awesome view and location
The view from the balcony was spectacular. Unit was fine for two couples. While the second bedroom is smaller, we had the two twin beds made into a king and had no issues. Loved the onsite beach. The lagoon made it great for swimming. Spoiled by the central AC but turn it off during the day to stay within the daily limit. The kitchen is well stocked - two minor issues (large fry pan non-stick coating is coming off and sometimes the freezer didn't make a lot of ice). We rented a car and easily traveled downtown to restaurants and further up island for snorkeling. Our favorite was playa porto mari (wonderful snorkeling and easy access from the beach - not too rocky). Easy walk to Cana restaurant (one of our favorites). Also loved Kome.

Great place for a holiday
We just spent a week at Tanne’s apartment at the Strand and it was amazing. The third floor unit has a huge balcony looking directly out into the water, and the property is very quiet and peaceful. The unit is nicely appointed with tasteful, simple, modern furnishings. And the location is great: close enough to walk to numerous restaurants and the old Willemstad area, but remote enough to be quiet and feel like you’re really getting away. I’d highly recommend staying here!

A nice family spot
This location is located about a mile from some great dining. The beaches in Curacao are a little rough, so the private beach/lagoon is very nice and calm at all times during the day. A vehicle is a must at this location if you want to see the island. Very safe and well guarded. If you are buying groceries however make sure to go into town and stay away from the local Chinese store down the road.

About the host

Hosted by Tanne van de Kreeke

Host profile image
Hi, we are Dimitry and Tanne and together with our 2 teenage sons we welcome you to our perfect home away from home. As a hard working lawyer (Dimitry) and a lawyer-turned- health coach (Tanne) we first visited Curaçao in the beginning of our relationship and fell in love with the island and its surroundings. After having visited many other islands in the Caribbean we choose Curaçao to be the island we wanted to bring our children. Our first son Mathis came with us when he was only 18 months old and his little brother Nicolas followed shortly thereafter as a 5 month old baby. We are very grateful we could spend many summers and winters in Curaçao and we watched our boys grow up on its sandy beaches.
It’s easy access from our homecountry Belgium (with direct daily flights from Amsterdam), and its location outside the hurricane zone, make it the perfect getaway for year-round sunfilled days.
During the years we started dreaming about having our own “place under sun” and now that our boys are still as enthousiastic to joining us here as they were a young children, we finally decided now is the time to make our dream become reality.
After searching for three years to find the perfect spot.
It is our greatest wish that we can spend many more perfect holidays here as a family and we hope we can share this experience with you as we welcome you as our guests!


Why they chose this property

The view, private beach, pool and walking distance location to Willemstad and the best restaurants of the island! Need we say more;-)

What makes this property unique

What we love about our property is its central location on the island. Within walking distance off plenty good restaurants and bars in the beautifull historic Pietermaai District. The town centre off the capital Willemstad can also be accessed by foot.
