Perfect spot fur just the two of us. Room was clean and had everything we needed like hot water, refrigerator, micro wave ,pool and beach chairs among other things Great place for the price! I would recommend a small car to bounce around the island and not waiting to spend money on Ubers all week.Amigo and Tropic have very good rates. Our host Rick was great and very informative about everything on the island. We will be back!

Paradise in Aruba
We stayed here for 2 weeks and had a fabulous time. Rik and Karin were the perfect hosts providing noteworthy information and recommendations for attractions, transportation and restaurants. It was so nice having the owners on site, they genuinely care about their guests and go way beyond to ensure any questions are answered. Stone Throw Away is in the perfect location, central to downtown and the beaches. All amenities were exactly as described, there was nothing extra we required. We are already looking forward to a return visit next year.

This property was exactly what I was looking for to extend my stay in Aruba. The studio had everything I needed to make a meal, go for beach day, relax at the pool, and had hot water. The hosts drove me to the airport which is a bonus. Their hospitality will be evident as soon as you meet them.

Adorable little suite
This place was so cute and Rik was so accommodating and full of information that he shared with me. He drove me around the area and explained where everything was located. 3 movie walk to the beach and groceries. I only stayed there for 2 days, but would definitely go back and stay there.

A hidden gem
I absolutely enjoyed my stay. The location is tucked nicely on a residential street. Though with a quick walk you can get to everything from the beach, to dining, to shopping ans more. I absolutely enjoyed sitting outside having breakfast in peace. I will definitely return. The place is beautifully kept, clean and everyone that was there were so friendly. Rik is an awesome host. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and helpful.

Had a great stay with Ric & Karen. They are great hosts. Picked us up at the airport and gave us a quick tour and lay of the land. Taught us to live like a local for a few days. The courtyard and pool area is a nice place to relax and unwind. Will look to book there again on our next trip to the Happy Island.

Like coming home.....
Rik and Karen are excellent, on site, property hosts! They both went above and beyond, answering our questions, and providing solutions to our needs. All other guests are friendly and welcoming, as well. After a day of island exploring, a beach day, or a quick walk to the grocery store, it's like arriving home. Just pack your bathing suit, and everything else is there! Eric & Donna - Feb 2023

Hospitality extraordinaire
I am seldom moved to submit reviews, but this was an extraordinary experience. Our host Rik provided just the right thoughtful touches, amenities, and advice. Bicycles, beach chairs, snorkels, masks, find, beer cozies-- all the little things that sound simple, but can make the difference between a so-so and a magical vacation. Go! Just go! You'll thank me..

An intimate stay
We had a wonderful stay at Stone Throw Apartments. Rik picked us up at the airport and gave us a quick tour and provided us with much info on restraunts and beaches. Our accommodations were modern, clean and fully equipped for our needs. We really enjoyed the courtyard, for relaxing, reading and chatting with guests. Given the opportunity to come back my wife and I would certainly stay at the Stone Throw.

Smoove
The pictures posted were accurate with no misrepresentations. Whoever, the pictures do make the place look more exotic. Very comfortable though, and I spent considerable time in the pool area. Very well set up, Rik and Karren forgot to add nothing, including bicycles for local use. And I did make use of them more than once. I was picked up and dropped of at the airport and was given a quicky tour of the neighborhood. It is very local to a lot of things and I even was, at age 76, able to walk downtown, twice. To say that Rik and Karren were the perfect hosts would be and understatement. I know I'm going pretty long with this review but am probably not remembering everything. My first time to Aruba and was worth every penny I spent. I would recommend it to anyone and staying with Rik and Karren makes it really special.

From the time Rick picked us up from the airport to the end. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay great !! Why pay for a big expensive hotel when you have a home away from home. They had everything we needed from snorkel gear, cooler for the beach. Etc … Great place for solo traveler to…. I would not hesitate to come back here again by myself. Which I am hoping to do very soon. !!! Thank you for a wonderful stay !!

Cozy and safe apartment
Had such an amazing stay at this well equipped studio apartment. Rik and Karen are wonderful, friendly and very helpful hosts. It’s a lovely property with a beautiful pool area and plenty of outdoor seating and amenities. They provide plush beach towels, chairs, plenty of reading material and even snorkeling equipment! You can’t beat the location which is 5 minutes from either the grocery store or the beach. No need for a car as Rik will also provide transportation to the airport for a nominal fee. This beautiful property is a steal for the price, don’t hesitate to book! I already plan on returning!

Ric and Karen are going out of their way to make your aruba vacation amazing. Beautiful and convenient location to beach shopping food or a great little kitchen and grill on site. Walk right across to the beach shopping or take your bike. No car needed. Bus Station Right there but the bike will get you anywhere. It is truly a paradise location. I will be back in a few month
