Beautiful pool to relax and private terraces come with each comfortable room, ample tropical trees that makes you feel you being in your own little paradise! The stay with Eldon and Hilly was fantastic! We spent five days at their home. The accommodation are private and separate however if you want to get to know the other guests there is an opportunity to do that.
We really enjoyed the resort like pool and outside amenities. The landscaping and pool was so relaxing and private we really felt like we had our own resort for the week! The location was fantastic and it was very easy to find things once we downloaded the correct apps. The App we would encourage you to try was we maps. The apartment was very clean and we would encourage you to bring a iPad or laptop to enjoy the free Wi-Fi but no TV.
Hilly and Eldon are very friendly and very accommodating. They gave us several suggestions for shopping and restaurants. We really liked staying at this one! The Apartment has a tasteful interior, a lot of space and everything you need to feel comfortable. Since the apartment is Part of a the Pietermaai Boutique Hotel, you have a reception which helps you with everything.
Like mentioned before we also heard the street noises, which were quite annoying at times.
But on the other hand you are in a lively area and that's Part of the deal staying in such spots. We took a beer or two outside on the balcony and watched the street happenings. Althought street level noise is relatively quiet after We really enjoyed a week stay in Willemstad, Curacao. We were warmly welcomed by Paco. Before travelling we had already a few times contact with him by e-mail.
This went very pleasant and correct. He arranged a cab for us when we arrived at the airport in the evening and was waiting for us at the appartment when we arrived there. During our stay he had a few times contact with us and was always interested in our wellbeings. He gave some tips over interesting places to visit. The appartment was exactly as discribed.
There was enough fresh wind because it was situated on the first floor. And it was situated at a top-location! Almost everywhere we wanted to go, we could go to by foot. Only for the visits outside town you have to rent a car or take the bus. In short, we had a great stay here! The pictures of the loft on Airbnb are accurate, it is very beautifully updated in a gorgeous old building. The people at Peitermai hotel are friendly and very helpful. The loft has a beautiful balcony with an incredible view of the bay.
It's located in a central part of the city, surrounded by great bars and restaurants. We had a fun and relaxing time in Willemstad! However, I would say that as soon as you get outside of the neighborhood where the loft is, the locals are extremely rude and unwelcoming. It was very upsetting the way we were treated, simply because we were white. Paco and the people he works with at the hotel were very helpful. Amazing apartment and location. I was fortunate to be on the island for kings day and got to experience a street party right on the doorstep.
The restaurants in the vicinity are not to be slept on and it's easy to get from place to place. Consider hiring a car as it will inevitably be cheaper. This place worked really well for my boyfriend and I since he likes cafes and restaurants so you're in walking distance to very nice spots.
The drive is lovely so we didn't mind and the beaches up there are well worth the trip. Also a lovely pool to hang out by as well: Paco's place was great!! It's nice and clean and location was perfect! Cool bars and so many restaurants, city beach It's very small but they have beach chairs and bar. So it's good for just relax, not for swimming , and downtown is all walking distance. I asked Paco about taxi situation in Island then he arranged for taxi to pick us up at Airport.
Also he arranged rent a car. They pick us up and take us to shop, also take us back to apartment after we return a car. There is few cons. There are no sealed windows, which means bugs can get in pretty easily. Lots of little ants, mosquitoes, not too big of a deal but it can help to come prepared. There is only one thin railing, and the ceiling lowers the further up the staircase you go.
The AC is located in the loft, and is the only AC unit in the entire apartment. Overall, the island is enjoyable, and the apartment is good for basic necessities. This is a great place to stay after beach tours or sight seeing. None of the cons should be too big an issue, if you aren't spending all your day inside the apartment. I would recommended to others! The apartment was lovely and exactly as pictured in the photos. It is located directly at a tiny street with many bars and restaurants which can be a little bit noisy at night.
Within few minutes walking you reach downtown area of Willemstad. Unfortunately we had some ants, cockroaches and little geckos in the kitchen but it was not too bad and therefore you live in an authentic old colonial house.
Would stay there again! Soon after booking, he sent us thorough documentation with recommendations for everything from car rental companies and beaches to grocery stores and restaurants. We found that super helpful in planning our trip. The only aspect of the house that did not meet our expectations were the beds, which were extremely firm.
However, having access to our own pool and the magnificent view overlooking the water made the bed situation a little less disappointing. Absolutly lovely place and people! Everything perfect, one of the most relaxing holiday places we have been to. Would recommend to everyone! The view is incredible and the pool is big and relaxing. Quiet neighborhood but convenient location.
Pictures do not do justice to the house and the beautiful view you encounter with once you walk to the terrace. Curacao is a beautiful island and you might want to rent a car to drive around and see all the things it has to offer. We had breakfast in the terrace every morning and swan in the pool once we returned to the house every afternoon. The house is close to Jan thiel beach which has nice restaurants and beaches were you can spend the day. You won't regret it. This was our second stay here this year and we plan on coming back annually to relax and soak up some pool vibes!
Arrien met us on arrival to show us the house and how to use the security system. He also had stocked the refrigerator with some welcome beverages. We felt very welcomed. He provided a detailed map of the island and many suggestions for beaches, things to do, and restaurants. He was available for questions and it was easy to communicate with him via text messaging. He came to clean the pool a couple of times while we were there. The house is lovely, charming loved the wooden windows with louvers and as advertised.
Sliding wooden door that opens out onto the wonderful veranda with views of Spanish Waters and a table and chairs, where we at breakfast every day. Beautiful private pool with a nice deck all around. Also a Nespresso machine. Two bedrooms each with private bathroom. Bed in my room was very comfortable. Both rooms had air conditioner and a fan. Simply but tastefully furnished. Lots of birds and iguanas around the house - bird watching from our own veranda!
Nice neighborhood - despite the security features, we felt safe. Arrien picked us up at the airport with a warm welcome. He's a really nice and friendly host. On the drive to this beautiful place he gave lots of informations about Curacao and the holiday options the island has to offer. He's living with his family round the corner and came over every several day to ask if anything is needed or if we like to have further tips to explore the island. We enjoyed every minute of our three week long stay in this absolutely beautiful and clean house!
The modern and relaxing interior, the big terrace with the hammock and of course the refreshing times in the pool. Not to forget the stunning view over the Spanish Water Bay at day and night.
The neighborhood is very quite with no sounds of tourism, restaurants or party people. We felt save in this area and the house, even it has an alarm system. We really loved and enjoyed this relaxing place and definitley recommend it to everyone who is searching for calm down holidays in a modern and cosy atmosphere. Thanks again for having us!
Love love love this loft. Everything is as advertised in the pictures. The location can not be beat. Right down from restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again. Short walk to Scuba Lodge, BijBlaauw, tons of great places. Everything you need in the apartment. Loved the rocking chair. Remco's and Marijke's place is wonderful! We arived earlier then the check in time and were greeted and let in. The place is adorable and is exactly what you see in the pictures. The area is amazing, walkable to the historic area and the street the house is on is amazing with great dinning and bar options.
It was also pretty easy to find parking on the street. Remco and Marijke were amazing hosts. They have suggestions listed out and were very quick to answer any messages we left. The day were were supposed to leave our flight was cancelled - they allowed us to check out much later to give us time to figure out our plans and offered us the place for another night.
Some of the best hosts I've had. What an amazing experience we had in Curacao. The Loft is even more than you could hope for. Very helpful with everything from places and beaches to go see to letting us know what was happening locally at night. The Loft is very clean, very spacious and a very comfortable place to have as home base on a vacation. They have renovated their amazing back yard and have made it into a beautiful Oasis to relax in with a gas BBQ at your disposal should you choose to do some BBQ'ing instead of going out for a meal.
We rented a car for the week and toured all corners of the island and can tell you that we couldn't have picked a more perfect location to stay at. The Loft is right in the middle of the food district, right next door to a very popular Mundo Bizzaro restaurant. There were never any issues with noise coming from Mundo. Most of the better beaches Grote Knip are about minutes up the island, but it was worth it to stay where we did and do the drive.
The beaches are located in much more remote areas. There is a very large public beach Mambo about 6 minutes from the Loft which is very good, but can get very busy during peak seasons and weekends. We really got to experience the blended culture of the local population and the Dutch who come to Curacao to live. Make sure if you are going to rent a car and tour the island that you download and use Website hidden by Airbnb This amazing app does not require an Internet connection. As well, if you are going to tour in a car, make sure you leave your car in an area with lots of other cars, to avoid an unexpected car break ins.
If your looking for a challenging hike with a rewarding, incredible view at the end, hike Mt. Christoffel, you will not be disappointed.
The apartment is as nice as the pictures indicate. The landscaping and pool was so relaxing and private we really felt like we had our own resort for the week! Wonderful hosts, super quick responses and spot on recommendations. We were warmly welcomed by Paco. We would recommend you to have a car to come around.
We would highly recommend staying at the Loft. The location was perfect as it was surrounded by restaurants and cafe's but still a bit away from the main tourist areas of downtown Willemsted, so it still felt your were out of the busy areas. A small grocery store was a few minute walk away, and most of the sites of downtown were within a walk. It was also a quick drive to get to the main road system out of town, to see the other sites. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning was handy on the warmer evenings.
The wifi always worked and it was nice to have the television with netflix when we wanted to relax at the apartment. I would recommend for anyone wanting easy access to food and drinks, but also a bit of separation from the busy tourist areas. This was by far one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed at! Super close to restaurants and the best parts of town. They had the added touch of having free chilled beer waiting for us—loved every moment of the trip!
We had an amazing stay! The loft is exactly as described It has everything you need for a long stay and even some extra amenities you don't find often, like the grill and washing machine. Close to amazing restaurants and nightlife. We rented a car to explore the island, but loved being in the city center for dinner and nights out. Marijke was very accommodating and responsive and was ready to help with anything we needed.
So happy we chose the loft! Their home was absolutely amazing and they created a warm atmosphere that was such a joy to be in. The large outdoor kitchen and pool were definitely two of the great highlights of staying here. I will definitely be staying here next time I come to Curacao. Many thanks to Eldon and Hilly for making my first visit to Curacao a great one!
This is a little bit of paradise! Very peaceful and calm with lots of nature and love to detail! Tnx to Eldon I had the most amazing place to stay ever. Besides his place they were spectacular hosts, very humble, sincere and charming.. Fantastic mini resort with great host Eldon.
Room perfect and nice. Place is nice and great BBQ. Also the shared area is great to prepare even the biggest fish. Watch out only for the guacamole dog Even before we arrived, Eldon provided a great deal of valuable information. He even offered to help arrange a rental car. They were warm and friendly when we arrived late due to a change of flights. Our room was clean and super comfortable. We LOVED the community kitchen and it was a wonderful place to prepare meals and enjoy the company of our hosts and other guests.
We have traveled extensively and have NEVER had the terrific environment of family like we felt here. They invited us to share with them and their family the local New Year's Eve celebration. We were even given a local phone to borrow to coordinate with our dive instructor and locate a church for Mass. And Bailey was a delight!! The only bad part was having to leave. For certain, we will be back!! We are still enchanted. There couldn't have been a better place to spend the second week of our vacation in Curacao. The hosts are so friendly, hospitable and we felt very welcome.
We really enjoyed the nice conversations! The room was very clean. The whole accomotation and the lovely garden is beautifully furnished and arranged and has lots of wonderful details. You can feel that the hosts manage the resort with a lot of passion and love.
The pictures on the internet are very nice but our expectations were even exceeded! We had all we needed and more - the hosts really thought of everything. Thank you for everything! We would come back any time again - and next time we want to bring our families as well! Dear Eldon, thank you so much for your hospitality and all the great tips for beaches, restaurants and other nice places.
Your mini resort is awsome - especially the illuminated pool at night and the fresh fruits in the garden. If I come back to Curacao I would come back to your mini resort. Best wishes from Berlin Aleta. We stayed in Willemstad for only 5 days, but our experience with Eldon was great!
Our flight was delayed two hours and the rental car place was closed and Eldon called a cab for us! It was a big relief. We were gone during the day most of the days we were there, but it was a great place to relax and unwind, perfect for a couple. We made another friend Bailey a dog who lives with Eldon who is so sweet! Eldon would stop by daily to see what we were up to for the day or if we needed anything. This was my first Airbnb experience and it went perfectly!
I would recommended this spot to anyone wanting to go to Curacao. The home is located in a private, gated community and is in close proximity to its neighbors. The overall location is very convenient to shops, food stores and dining. The main road to the home can get congested at peak times. Being in the eastern end, it is a bit of a drive to the western beaches.
A car is a must. The pool and yard are amazing, you'll be tempted not to ever leave and explore the island! Insgesamt hatten wir dennoch Kleinigkeiten, die wir beanstanden mussten. Wij hebben met ons gezin genoten van het huis op het beveiligde villapark. Het was er heerlijk rustig. Het huis is prima met het geweldige zwembad. Mooi en ruim huis op een fijne locatie.
Het villapark waarop het huis ligt is heerlijk rustig. De locatie van het park is top, dichtbij Jan Thiel beach en de supermarkt. Ook het centrum van Willemstad is vanaf het park prima te bereiken met de auto. Het huis beschikt over een fijn zwembad en is verder van alle nodige gemakken voorzien zoals een goed uitgeruste keuken. Bij vragen en opmerkingen krijg je snel reactie van de contactpersoon, erg prettig en een goede service. Een verblijf is zeker aan te raden! Die Unterkunft ist wie beschrieben und ruhig im Villenpark Zuurzak gelegen.
Ein mal die Woche wird die Wohnung gereinigt, auch der Swimmingpool. Insgesamt eine tolle Empfehlung. We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in deze woning. Vooraf voelden wij ons al zeer welkom door de duidelijke communicatie en de mogelijkheid van de autohuur en boodschappenservice. Tijdens ons verblijf kregen we snel antwoord op een vraag.
Het appartement is van alle gemakken voorzien en het zwembad is heerlijk! Het park waar de woning zich op bevindt is op een goede locatie en voelt heel erg veilig. Voor herhaling vatbaar en zou een verblijf hier zeker aanraden. We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in deze villa met alles erop en eraan! De villa is gelegen op een mooi villapark met goede beveiliging.
Verder ligt het ook op een goede plek van het eiland met dichtbij een supermarkt en dergelijke. Een auto is wel aan te raden maar deze is bij de villa bij te huren. Went to Curacao for a week and stayed in one of the two bedroom apts. Apartment was clean and ver functional with air conditioning in the bedrooms. We used the air conditioners only a night. Shared pool is steps away and parking is secure and gated. WiFi was iffy the first two days but then was fine. Not quite strong enough for sustained Hidden by Airbnb ing however. Great central location for diving.
Great place to rent tanks. Grocery store about two miles. Would definitely rent again. Cornelis and Will were great hosts. The apartment was spotless and had all the necessary amenities. The location was good for our purpose as we were there for the Jazz Fest which was nearby. It's also a short driving distance to most everything else you'd need or want to do in Curacao. I would highly recommend it and I'm already planning on returning and staying at the same apartment same time next year for the Jazz Fest. Fantastic stay, the pool was warm all the time. It's so breezy inside the house all the time so it's never too hot really.
The apartment is relatively close to everything on the island. Cornelis was waiting for us upon arrival, and professionally runs this property. There are people who come and clean regularly; we didn't ask them to clean our apartment during our time there as it wasn't necessary. The apartment is a good value and location.
While on certain days you can smell the oil refineries, this is a Curacao commonality, not something specific only to this property. Great beaches are nearby, including Blue Bay, which is around the corner. The Centrum supermarket is where you'll do you shopping, and Willemstad is just a quick drive away, which is great. The apartment is open, so take provisions for mosquitoes if it's not a windy evening citronella candle worked well for us , and don't leave food out as you could get some uninvited guests.
There is an alarm system in this property and with most neighbors, which again is very common. At times those alarms may briefly go off in the night, but the area is very secure. We had a great stay at Ban Topa. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Accomodation was exacltly as on the photos.
Spacious very clean and handy. Accommodation is located centrally therefore it was convenient to visit many beautiful beaches around the island. Renting the car via the recommended company went also very well including the transfer from and to the airport. I can definitely recommend Ban Topa! Locatie is top als je van rustig houdt en niet persee op een resort wil verblijven. Mooie strandjes blue bay en kokomo vlakbij met de auto.
En alle andere mooie strandjes richting westpunt rijd je vanaf hier gemakkelijk aan. Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gut gefallen und alles sah aus, wie auf den Bildern. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Den Pool hatten wir fast alleine. Alles zusammen war es ein toller Urlaub zu einem guen Preis. We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is as nice as the pictures indicate. We were very comfortable there and found it conveniently located near the essentials. Because it's up on a hill, there was an awesome breeze all the time and hardly any mosquitos this can be a problem in some areas.
The airport pickup was very convenient and Karel was a great host throughout. We stayed for three weeks so we saw other guests come and go on shorter stays quite a bit. It was easy to tell that Karel and his wife have a smooth operation running. He was also very responsive when small things did occur. For example, we noticed that the pool which we enjoyed very much had begun to look a little cloudy at some point.
We notified Karel and he was there that day and into the evening resolving the matter and then the pool was great. We will stay here again next time. The place was as described and conveniently located near Mambo Beach. There are a few restaurants near Mambo that are great. We really enjoyed Greenhouse and Golden Star which is a local place. We had fantastic local meals at both places and thoroughly enjoyed goat stew.
The place is fairly easy to get to from the airport, but I highly recommend printing directions before arriving. If you do this, you must change the settings of your APN Hidden by Airbnb it for your specific network. Hidden by Airbnb maps only had directions and no turn-by-turn but I was told Waze works perfectly. Mambo beach has a party scene on the beach if you're interested in that.
Our favorite beach was Porto Mari and there are plenty of beautiful beaches in the northwest. Jan Thiel in the south was close and nice as well. If you go there I suggest Papagayo Resort for their chairs, shade, and salt water swimming pool. The city of Willemstad was nice and there is a local restaurant called Plasa Bieu not open on Sunday that is good. Overall, Curacao was really cool. I recommend renting a car and driving all the way up the northwest coast and south to Jan Thiel.
Everything is pretty much as described in the ad. Very clean, functional apartment with all the necessities for cooking your own meals if you want. Even though the beach is still walking distance 20 min it does get hot and the heat may make the walk feel longer. Regardless, a car is an absolute must to get around on the island and will definitely make your stay more enjoyable considering the wide variety of possible activities. Karel arranged a ride to and from the airport which helped enormously because I'm not sure how we would have found the place with a rental car off the bat even if Karel had provided quite detailed directions.
We happened to run into some email trouble oddly enough once arrived therefore making communication with Karel a little difficult however any semi autonomous person can figure out how to get around without guidance. All in all we would definitely recommend this apartment especially considering it's general proximity, cleanliness, functionality and not to mention more than affordable!
Excellent apartment, very clean, very safe neighborhood. My apartment was 2 rooms Well distributed, with all the equipment for 4 people, very good TV cable system. A place very calm. Rented a car from him, but could not get for the whole time of our holiday so he set us up with another rental company. Was a great trip. You need a car as taxis are stupid expensive.
Clean, easy to find, nice neighbour hood. This place overall could have been better. We stayed for a week. I had chosen this place because of the great reviews and how central it was to almost everything with a vehicle. I don't know if it was our specific apartment, but the living conditions were not the best. I have to say I was extremely disturbed when we came back to our apartment and there were cockroaches crawling on the kitchen walls.
We made the owner aware and he stated that the housekeepers would take care of it. This happened throughout the entire stay and this was my biggest problem. There were 4 people and a baby in one apartment so we receives the apartment with 2 rooms and karel was nice enough to let us rent a crib. For 2 grown adults and a baby, the second room is a bit snug but it is manageable. There were some necessities missing, like a kitchen knife and toilet paper, but Karel was very responsive and supplied us with more.
Just a heads up, Electric IS seperate, but it is made known in the description. Finally, our flight got cancelled. On the plus side, karel was nice enough to let us stay another night so we could figure things out. He also supplies a book with excursions and things to do on the island. Most were reasonably priced also. Honestly, you could look Some of the things yourself, but it was super helpful to have!. I was disapointed with this experience because i've never really had an airbnb with so many problems.
That's really all I have to say. Easy to get to Willemstad or the beach by car. Warm welcome by the host Karel. A place where you immediately feel at home. First off, the host did not alocate me in the apartment that was displayed in the app. The apartment was completely different from the photos displayed. As a costumer, I felt tricked. Besides that, the apartment was infested with cockroaches. I warned the host a couple times and the problem was not solved. I was located in an apt I didnt rent infested with cockraches, the experience was at least terrible.
Kurt's place was a very nice place to stay during our stay in Otrobanda, Curacao. The house is very stylish, clean and all facilities are available for cooking. The area is creative: We walked to the restaurant area in Punda. This was a 20 minutes walk, but totally safe. We were looking for a place in Curacao that was not a tourist trap but in a convenient location to enjoy the island. This was exactly that. We were able to walk to many locations around Punda and Otrabanda. We had a rental car after the first couple days and drove to some great beaches. Kurt was helpful and answered our questions in a timely fashion.
Spacious bedroom and bathroom, great garden, very functuonal kitchen. I would advise having mosquito spray for the island in general. An amazing location with many stylish touches that make you feel at home. Awesome location at the heart of the city walking distance to everything. Kurt was a great host and we would definitely recommend staying at any of his locations!
There are fine pieces of folk art everywhere giving his place a truly lived feeling. Patricia took on the introductory job and was so helpful and kind in orienting us to Willemstad, the local neighborhood and around. She kept tabs on us which we appreciated much. A lovely, spacious apartment with an incredible entire back yard for our private use. Excellent location near the Queen Emma bridge and the downtown. Unfortunately, because it was the rainy season, the mosquitoes were quite bad -- but that isn't Kurt's fault!
Anyway, a lovely, funky space, super clean and comfortable. We do suggest you lock the downstairs front door when you're in the upstairs part of the apartment. Some food of ours went missing from the fridge the morning we were leaving and we're not sure how. Very cool riendly neighbourhood, 5 minutes walk from centre.
SUperb kitchen, huge bed and a lovely renos of an older builing all added to this bite of another culture. Lots to do on the island and cheap buses to get there. Kurt's place is modern, stylish, and cozy. There is a porch with a big comfy couch that you can relax on, very nice for lying back and listening to the rain and you will not get wet. The bed is a king-size and very comfortable for both of us. There are several museums and tons of restaurants within walking distance of this apartment.
Our preferred eating places were on the Otrobanda side of Willemstad, which seemed to us to be slightly less touristy and less pricey than Punda, although we liked all the food we ate. We felt safe in the apartment, and there was always someone available by phone or face-to-face if we needed something or had questions. When we had to check out a couple hours late due to a late departure, this was easily arranged, for which we're grateful.
These are not necessarily negatives, but things to know: The stairs leading up to the bedroom are steep so if you have mobility issues this might present a problem. Willemstad is a pretty busy port city. This apartment is about blocks away from a spot where massive cruise and cargo ships dock. A couple times during our stay we heard the cruise ship blowing its horn in the middle of the night rude!
It didn't bother us - we just went back to sleep - but if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. We loved everything about this apartment and would recommend it to any of our friends traveling to Willemstad. Kurt provides outstanding hospitality. We arrived late in the evening so he left a key and detailed instructions so we could get in after normal checkin hours. He even stopped by the next day to say hello and make sure everything was going well. He was great to work with from the moment I first inquired about renting the apartment. The rental was great! Nicely renovated, super convenient location, unique outdoor living space, high quality appliances, hot water and AC in the bedroom - it was perfect.
We walked to town every day for breakfast and dinner. The area felt safe to wander, even after dark. We had a rental car that we parked a block away and there was always plenty of parking. All of the information and suggestions Kurt provides about the area are really helpful and appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would love to return!
Douglas responded quickly to our inquiries.
We were given very detailed driving and entrance instructions. The location is right next door to Mamboo Beach lots of shops and restaurants and the Sea Aquarium. We were there for a month, so we rented a car to explore various parts of the island. It is quiet, comfortable, spacious and clean. It was a very good value compared to staying in a resort hotel.
When home, we hung out on the expansive patio looking at the sea and enjoying the breeze. We also enjoyed the pool--a few steps away--and the private resort beach which is featured in the photos. It's a three-minute walk. The beach was rarely crowded and chairs were always available. The beach is in a lagoon with snorkeling as good as anywhere else we went on the island, right next to the seaquarium's dolphin enclosure.
A short walk away are restaurants, bars and shops at the Mambo Beach "mall. We rented a car and were pleased to have a private parking space right outside the door. A car is essential, not only to explore the island but just to get groceries and access the downtown pedestrian-friendly areas. The AirBnB website does not show what amenities this ground-floor villa offers. But we found that many public places on the island offer free WiFi, including the Seaquarium and nearby Mambo beach, so we did not suffer too much!
This villa is an end unit, next to the parking lot which is opposite the view of the sea. We did not mind this because it allowed us to watch the sunset. But some people may prefer a more private enclosure. It is clear and tastes fine. We drank a lot of it without adverse effects. Our only negative experience was on our first day after we went shopping and loaded a bunch of bottles in the fridge.
A plastic door shelf which had been poorly repaired, failed and crashed to the tile floor, breaking glass all over. When I reported this to our host, suggesting the condo be better supplied with cleaning materials and the shelf replaced so this doesn't happen to future guests, he deflected responsibility saying "no comment, things happen" and life is too short to worry about material things.
Nevertheless, we highly recommend this condo. It suited all our needs. We preferred to have WiFi, but without it we were better able to disconnect and relax. Great Host and location. Good communication with the host and great accommodation. No complaints from our side but perfect score! Nice apartment on a gated community, can recommend a car for those who have that option. Extremely well located, beautifully furnished and complete with every utensil and appliance necessary.
Great air conditioners, very spacious, very clean. Quiet and friendly neighbors in a beautifully well maintained resort. The pool is great, and the private beach is simply amazing. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Wonderful hosts, super quick responses and spot on recommendations. A great bonus is that you are able to see the dolphins from the pool and the beach area. Could not have asked for anything more.
The prporty is on a closed terrain. It is a very big house, also all things you need on holiday are available. The outside place is very big and we sit there for a couple of evenings. The neighborhood is very quiet, but the boulevard is only a 2 min walk away! Also there is a private beach which is very nice. The location of the Mambo Beach Townhouse was perfect for our 10 day stay in Curacao! We loved the proximity to Mambo Boulevard for restaurants, bars, and evening parties, but also the seclusion. The resort pool is spacious and well maintained.
The private beach is relaxing, private, and super close to the townhouse. Parking is not only secure but also very convenient. Check-in and check-out was also a breeze. We enjoyed the patio for lounging and having our morning coffee. There is also a drying rack for swimsuits and beach towels. Great place and a great value!
We had a great stay here! The place is very clean and Kate is beyond helpful. She is a very kind person and yes, waking up to a breakfast treat every morning is lovely. The location is close to everything you need and the place is very good value.

We traveled with our 7 month old and Kate was very willing to help us make any accommodations. The first night there was a little problem with the bathroom plumbing but Kate and her family acted very quickly and it turned out to be a breeze. Would definitely recommend staying here for a wonderful stay in Curacao! Kate and her family went out of their way to make us feel comfortable in their space. We received quick, helpful responses to our questions, and all the privacy we could have wanted.
Their hospitality was spectacular. On top of that, Kate gave excellent advice about where to go, where to shop, what to eat, and other crucial tips that ended up making our stay extra special. The air conditioning in the apartment is cold, there are screens on all the windows, the shower, bathroom, and kitchen facilities are great, and we had all the towels, linens, dishes and cutlery necessary to make our stay a comfortable one.
The apartment is modern and clean, with plenty of space to get comfortable while you're there. The location is perfect for people interested in exploring the island by car, with a safe parking spot, nearby banks, groceries, gas statins, and general stores, located a few short blocks to the main road. It's an awesome home base for someone interested in getting downtown swiftly and easily, or roaming around to the island's beaches. I have no reservations about recommending this Airbnb. We had a fantastic time on our trip to Curacao, and it wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else.
This was my best Airbnb experience to date! If you are interested in being a host, you should stay here just to see how to do it right. Breakfast every morning, excellent conversation, great location, and a beautiful island to top it off. We had very few plans for the week, but quickly found things to do that easily filled our week-long stay.
Kate's place is within walking distance to a grocery store, many restaurants, the bus stop, and the Curacao liquor factory. We utilized the bus system for most of the week and will do so again with a little better understanding of it if we are ever lucky enough to revisit the island. I cannot recommend a stay at Kate's place enough.
You will not be disappointed. Kate, Norberto and their daughter Catherine are such sweet people. They helped us a lot with different questions, gave us tips on what to see and do and picked us up at the airport. We feelt very welcome! Kate where very fast in answering our questions before we arrived and Norberto was super helpful during our stay. Unfortunately we didn't meet Kate since she was in Europe with her students.
Catherine their daughter made us breakfast every morning, we where able to do laundry which is nice when you are traveling with two small kids and we even got to rent a car from them since Kate was away on her trip. The house is very close to a great supermarket walking distance and to a big road. Five to seven minutes with car and you had a lot of restaurants to choose from. We can really recommend this accommodation! The only two little remark is that the sofa bed was really hard to sleep on and there's no warm water in the shower. Very spacious modern apartment in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything by car.
Great bed and airco. Breakfast was really nice: Nice touch and very thoughtful: Good value for money. Thank you Kate for your hospitality. We enjoyed the awesome breakfast. Nice and cozy space to stay. Inez and Erik were the perfect hosts! They were quick to respond to any and all questions I had, even gave some great ideas on things to do.
The place was perfect. Just a quick min walk away from the center of town. The area itself was quiet and always had parking for our rental car which I highly suggest you rent a car if you are to visit so you are able to explore all the island has to offer The appliances were modern and clean as well as the rest of the home. There was AC but we only used that at night and opened all windows and doors during the day to enjoy the island breeze. If we are ever to return to Curacao, this spot will definitely be our go to! What an amazing trip! We cannot thank Inez, Eric and Corwin enough for their hospitality and prompt communication during our stay.
