About this property

Oceanfront Bungalow 3 BR 3 Bath w/glorious views!

Our 2 story, 3 bedroom 3 bath bungalow is located right in the heart of the resort. Just steps from the community pool, we are at the hub of activity where you can overlook the pool while still enjoying the ocean view from either the downstairs patio or upstairs terrace. As a vacation home, we want our furnishings to be fresh, comfortable and indicative of island life and trust that you will find our home inviting, peaceful and fun.

Marazul #3 is a no smoking 2-story, 3-bedroom spacious bungalow located next to the resort swimming pool and overlooking the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is the perfect vacation home for families and friends who enjoy sun, water and relaxation.

Marazul Dive Resort is an oceanfront, privately owned, gated community located in Westpunt, the western point of the island of Curacao. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Westpunt is an easy, 30 minute drive from the airport taking you through the natural habitat and by scenic views of the island. Along with having the Caribbean Sea as your front yard, the resort setting, complete with tropical flowers, palm trees, native birds and sparkling swimming pool provides a spectacular backdrop for the every level of photographer. Stairs along the cliff wall descend directly into the Caribbean Sea for swimmers, snorkelers and divers to enjoy the beauty of the calm, turquoise waters and abundant sea life.

Marazul Dive Resort has community areas featuring a swimming pool, sun chairs, shady gazebo and access to the Caribbean Sea.

Our 2 - story, 3 - bedroom, 3 - bath bungalow is located right in the heart of the resort. Just steps away from the community pool. We are at the hub of activity where you can overlook the pool while enjoying the ocean view from either the downstairs patio or upstairs terrace.

Along with a charcoal grill, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything necessary to make meal preparations easy. Hot water is available in the baths and the kitchen area. The kitchen hot water comes from a tankless hot water heater under the sink where you can either have hot, warm or cold water. Enjoy dinner while watching the beautiful sunset from the upstairs terrace whether gathered around the teak dining table or relaxing in the adirondack chairs.
Our bungalow has new doors and windows with screens allowing the flow of trade winds and enhancing safety. There is air conditioning with new units installed September 2017 and a safe is available for storing your valuables.

As a vacation home, we want our furnishings to be fresh, comfortable and indicative of island life and trust that you will find our home inviting, peaceful and fun. Additional detailed information pertaining to transportation, grocery stores, restaurants and other helpful tips will be provided upon booking to ensure you have the information needed to make this a dream vacation. While we are available by phone or email to answer any questions, our property manager Rene is readily available on site and extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

To help you to take advantage of the island and our home we will be emailing you several descriptive booklets upon your booking, detailing scuba sites we like (and why we like them) local restaurants that we particularly enjoy and suggestions on places to see and things to do. Of course, we're available by email or phone most any time to answer your questions. We are also very lucky to have Rene, an exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely personable manager, on site who's always willing to help.

Overview:
Hikers and bikers can enjoy the 2 national parks, Mt Christoffel and Shete Boka - within 10 minutes from Marazul. Willemstad, the capital city is a 30-40 minute drive away and offers shopping, restaurants, movie cinemas and casinos. Yes, there is something for everyone to enjoy on Curacao!

Getting around:
Exit left out of Marazul and you are less than 5 minutes away from local beaches of Playa Forti and Playa Grandi where local fisherman sell their daily catch. If you are into scuba diving or snorkling Playa Grandi is a must see. You'll be guaranteed to see numerous turtles although you may have to look a little closer to find the local seahorse. Around the bend is Go West Diving, a full service dive shop offering the best of shore diving (Alice in Wonderland dive site) and daily boat dives. The staff there is excellent!

Exit right out of Marazul and you are within 10-20 minutes of several additional , picturesque beaches, Big Knip, Little Knip, Playa Jeremi and Playa Lagun that require no admission fee. Cas Abou and Porto Marie are full service beaches with facilities and restaurants that require a small fee for admission.

We truly feel fortunate to own this beautiful bungalow. We look forward to sharing our slice of paradise with you for your vacation.

So, bonbini na nos kas! Welcome to our island home! We hope that you fall in love with Curacao just as we have and will return with your family and friends for many vacations to come.

Just, WOW!
We had an excellent stay at Carolina Castaway! The instructions provided were detailed, accurate, and incredibly helpful, making our trip seamless and enjoyable.We spent two weeks on the island, one ant a resort on Mambo Beach annd the second week ant this location. The week at Carolina Castaway was by far the highlight of our trip. The location is perfect—just minutes away from some of the best beaches in Curaçao. The property itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, making it a great home base for both adventure and relaxation.Traveling with a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old can be challenging, but this property made it easy. The space was family-friendly and comfortable (and incredibly quiet!), and we appreciated how easy it was to unwind after a day of exploring.If you’re planning a trip to Curaçao, we highly recommend Carolina Castaway. It exceeded our expectations and created memories we’ll cherish forever. Greg and Susan have clearly loved this property and so did we. If we are ever so fortunate to find ourselves back in Curaçao, we would definitely keep this property in mind!

Loved our paradise getaway to Curaçao!
This was a wonderful play to stay- it had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Nearby restaurants had great food and drinks and there is so much to explore. If you like a quiet stay in a beautiful place by the ocean with lots of great snorkeling/diving opportunities then this is the place for you. Bungalow#3 was perfect for us and we felt like home away from home. We would come again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!

perfect spot
we loved the location in Westpunt and had a really great stay - there are very good restaurant options close by and the beaches/snorkeling are great. I didn't fully understand that there would not be air conditioning in the kitchen/living areas and it was hot while we were there but it wasn't a deal breaker. If a quiet vacation spot is what you're looking for, this is the spot for you!

Really enjoyed the house. Large table on the upstairs balcony was excellent for enjoying the sunsets after a day of diving. Greg communicated very well and everything was as expected! Next time we'll be sure to do a dive off the house reef.

We absolutely loved this property and would highly recommend it. This was our first time to Curaçao, but not to the Caribbean, and fell in love. The west end was perfect for what we were looking for…slow, quite and full of beautiful beaches. Thanks for this little slice of heaven that your shared with us.

Cliffside Paradise
Greg & Susan were quick to reply and helpful. They sent an email with detailed attachments prior to our stay that provided us with information on dining, activities, transportation, and other necessities. There were a few very minor glitches: the code to the gate for the community didn’t work, directions for the keyless entry could’ve been more explicit, a few pans were dirty. Otherwise, it was paradise!!!! The location was idyllic, woke to birdsong and waves with a short walk to steps down to snorkeling. Sunsets over the water and coconut trees dancing in the trade winds. I’d recommend 100% to book here with Greg & Susan!! Thank you

Paradise at Marazul
Everthing you need is provided to make your stay effortless! From a kitchen fully equiped to beautiful sunsets at night. For sucba divers you have just next door to Marazul a dive shop. Sublime Diving, and Ellis is great and will take care of all your needs and concerns. Also 3 restaurants in walking distance. This is the second time we are staying at Greg and Susan place. Highly recommend it. If we go back to Curacao we would not hesitate to stay again Debbie Daniel Alex Elie

Curacao Paradise
Our time at Marazul Dive Resort and Greg and Susan's home was beyond our hopes. The home was clean and stocked with everything we could need for our one month visit. The home was a great base for visiting the beautiful beaches and trips to Westount. We slept great while listening to the tradewinds blowing outside. Greg and Susan were so good at communicating and we never waited long for a response. Upon booking the home we were sent a complete info guide onanything we needed at Marazul and the island. If you are considering renting this home, consider no longer and just book it. You will be so glad you did.

Great Place to Stay
The property was just as expected with the kitchen fully stocked with more than enough dishes, pots, pans, utensils and the cupboards were clearly marked with their contents saving us the hassle of guessing where everything was. The bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces were comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool was just steps away and the two balconies had table and chairs. The owners provided a wealth of information regarding the island with recommendations on restaurants, things to do and places to grocery shop. Communications were excellent and we would stay here again. Overall, an enjoyable carefree stay in nice accommodations

Lovely location with sunsets that can’t be beat
Lovely condo with easy access to pool and steps directly down to snorkel/dive onsite. Laid back location with a dive shop a few minutes away and several restaurants to try. Only recommendation would be some couch repairs/replacement, each have damaged legs/unstable, but were good enough for us as we were only inside a short time.

Spacious rental near pool
We stayed in Bungalow 3 for three weeks in March. Communicating with Greg and Susan during the booking process and during our stay was a real pleasure. They were friendly and quick to respond to questions and provided interesting reading material about the island and clear directions for their home and the check in process. The bungalow was spacious with comfortable furniture and we felt right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and serving. I really love having a crock pot to use while on vacation so was pleased to find one in the kitchen. We have stayed at Marazul before and we know that hot water is not available in every unit but hot water to do dishes is especially important to us. This unit has hot water in the kitchen and showers. We also found the use of a washing machine in the unit very convenient. The beds were comfy and we loved having our breakfast every morning on the spacious upper terrace. There is a nice large dining table on the upper terrace. We also enjoyed playing cards there in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay in Greg and Susan's bungalow; unfortunately as with many other travelers during this time period COVID-19 shortened our stay but we wouldn't hesitate to book this unit again. Additionally, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this unit to other travelers looking for a spacious rental close to the pool and the dive rinse tank!

Awesome Vacation
Our Bungalow was very clean, well equipped and located right by the pool. Snorkeling from the cliff at the resort was magical and just steps away. The pool area was clean and we were lucky to have mostly older guests, so it was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed it so much we have made reservations for 2021.

Bungalow had *everything* we needed. Communication with Greg was excellent, and location was just right for those not wanting the "resort experience". We wish we could have stayed longer. Looking forward to a return visit. The only slight hiccup was that we didn't realize there were THREE different locations to find the key after hours. Rene was very helpful in getting us in. Then we were great.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Johnson

Host profile image
Susan and I have been married for 33 years living in North Carolina USA. We have been scuba diving since 2006 which is how we discovered the beautiful island of Curacao. We have enjoyed learning about the island of Curacao and meeting the people who are extremely friendly. We continue to learn more with each trip and we hope at some point to be able to come to Curacao to stay for months at a time instead of the weeks at a time we currently enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Curacao since 2008 and have stayed at Marazul for all but 1 of those times. We fell in love with Curacao and Marazul and when the opportunity to purchase our lovely bungalow presented itself we jumped at the chance. We were visiting Marazul in May 2016 playing the "wouldn't it be great if we could buy here" game when we were informed that Bungalow #3 was for sale. We spoke with the owners and came to an agreement on price and in July 2016 we completed the purchase! We honestly believe we were in the right place at the right time as we truly think that Bungalow #3 is the best bungalow in Marazul!

What makes this property unique

Each of the 3 bedrooms has it's own bath. While 3 or even 4 can sleep in a 1 bedroom it is generally downstairs, in the main living area, sleeping on a futon. Get the added space you need for not a lot of extra cost.
