From cold Canada a week to Curacao

The property was great for us and all is there to have a great time. Great view and also a great breeze on top of the mountain. Open the front door and let the breeze do the rest! The location is quiet so if you prefer that in the evening…..perfect. It’s a real short drive to the best beaches of Curacao and if you want to visit Willemstad you are only like 20 mins away. Make sure you check out restaurant “De Buurvrouw”, great place. The pool and BBQ were also great and you can enjoy lovely “mocking birds” that show up in the morning and evening. And they do like fresh water in the dish :) Overall, our experience has been great. If we come back to Curacao we will definitely have no issue staying here again.

Friends in Carib

Very nice stay……comfortable. Very laid back. View from deck is outstanding. House is spacious and value priced. Threat of dengue fever was worrisome. Use of mosquito netting in bedrooms would’ve been nice. Mosquito repellent is advisable, despite te“wonderful breeze that is constant dat and night. Overall I would not hesitate to return.

Great location and house.

We loved the house and location. Very quiet neighborhood and clean house. We explored all over the island and snorkeled at many of the beaches and this house was a perfect location. We loved every part of Curacao!

Perfect Family Getaway for Holidays

Our Family of 6 had a great time in this spacious home. We were met by the property Manager Brigitte who was fully accessible from the time we reserved the house to the time we left. WE used the pool several times a day and enjoyed the view from the patio everyday at Sunset which is just perfect from Coral Estates. The location of the house was perfect for beachgoers as it is in the middle of the Island so all the great beaches are within a 20 minute drive of the house. One of the highlights of staying in Coral Estates was the Security. The Security gate was very well managed, and there was a patrol car always around looking after guests if needed. The kitchen, and the grill got a lot of use as did the big dining room table. The air conditioning was only needed at nights as the breezes thru the house once the windows were open kept the house cool. If we ever come back to Curacao, we will stay at 640 Estates again. Thank you Brigitte

Rest & Sun!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. Privacy in the pool and deck area was a bonus. Brigitte answered any and all questions in a very timely and helpful manner. The mosquitoes loved our pristine northern blood so citronella candles were much needed in the evening. There are some items that need maintenance but overall the house worked well.

Christmas in Curacao 2019

The house was as advertised, beautiful, clean, well equipped, in a very nice and peaceful neighborhood. The property manager was friendly and helpful, she made the check-in and check-out fast and easy, and was quick to respond when we had questions about the house or the island in general. Highly recommend the property and the owner and manager. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Curacao.

Another Great Coral Estates Home

We loved staying at this house, It became a home away from home for us very quickly. From the stunning views to the comfort of all the rooms we were very satisfied. I love coming here and leaving the front door open as well as the patio doors, you get an awesome breeze most every day. There was rain almost daily, but short. Within 15 minutes you forgot it ever rained. The house has 5 bedrooms, three of which are accessible upstairs, the last two are really an "apartment" downstairs with a separate entrance. This was good for our family since it offered a little more privacy if wanted. I would definitely stay here again, But make sure you bring some bug lotion. We found the one that worked the best had the ingredient Picaridin in it. The owner Ron was in touch with us from when we first booked the trip. We had no issues while we were there. I love coral estates, its a beautiful gated community that really feels safe when you are there. It also has a big footprint (we used for our daily walks) Highly Recommended.

Incredible Stay!

This villa is so beautiful. The photos don't even do it justice. The property was immaculate when we arrived and the warm breeze through the home was so refreshing. The ability to open the house completely up was such a nice attribute and opening all of the doors up in the morning and feeling the breeze was incredible. The entire home was very clean and the bedding and towels were lovely (the fresh flowers on arrival were such a nice touch!). Ron and the rental management team were very quick to respond to any inquiries we had about the area and we felt very safe and secure within Coral Estates. The pool stayed perfectly cool and the air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly each night. All appliances worked well and we had no unexpected surprises. We had a wonderful stay and have already recommended the villa to our friends and family as everyone was asking where we were after seeing photos. All in all, a top-notch stay that was everything we expected and more!!

Spectacular views

There are lots of things to do in Curacao. We explored Christoffel Park,Hato cave, the floating bridge and shopping in Williamstad. We went snorkeling in many beautiful coves where the water was turquoise blue and clear. The food was good at the Coral Estates restaurant. The house was just as pictured in the Homeaway site. It was clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. I couldn't find a measuring cup but had everything else we needed. We had a lot of meals at the house using the oven and the grill. Dining on the veranda was perfect for 8 people around the large square table. And the view from the veranda is amazing overlooking the Caribbean. The sea breeze was endless and comfortable. We did not want to leave, but hope to return here in the future. Ron, the owner was quick to answer our questions and Sharon brought us to the house when we arrived, was very nice and professional.

Simply stunning with an amazing owner

There is so many things to say, if you are looking for a house this 5 bedroom house with million dollar view very homy with touches of elegance and class is for you. The moment you open the front door the view and it’s beauty strikes you. In a secure environment and very peaceful surrounding it is a really special place. Now the owner is simply amazing he sent us so many great advises and was extremely reactive. It was our first time in Curacao and we were amazed by how friendly and happy the people are in the island always a smile fluent in multiple languages. The east of the island is civilization while west part is full of gorgeous coves with wild pristine blue waters. So enjoy this house as much as we did truly amazing
