"The room was very clean, the pool was clean and warm. The host was extremely friendly and makes you feel like family. She cooks amazing breakfasts and gives you tips and tricks for navigating the island and getting around. The B&B is definitely a hidden gem and we were sad we had to leave! Hopefully can get a chance to stay here again!"

"Loved the in room hot tub ad quiet location."

"The stay was loveley and exactly what we were looking for. Great hosts and a quiet area in aruba which js a rare find. A couple notes for people looking to stay here. If you cant stand bugs (outside) this is not your place. The kitchen is outside and sofie does include repelent for bugs and it does work but they are fierce. The pool does have hours from 9-6, just keep that in mind if you like to swim at night. If you have trouble with stairs, the loft will be a challenge. There are very few street signs and google isnt great for getting you there. Once you find it, it isnt a issue but we did get turned around a few times. Bottom line- we would have zero issue booking and staying at this property in the future. "

"This was truly the best place possible to stay in Aruba. The host and staff were incredibly warm and hospitable, helping us with every detail of our trip to make it absolutely perfect. From recommendations to logistics, they went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. The property itself is beautiful and thoughtfully maintained — lush, well-kept plants, cozy sofas, and multiple lounge areas that make it easy to relax and unwind. The pool area was spotless and so peaceful, perfect for slow mornings or winding down after a beach day. We loved that we were able to rent snorkel equipment directly, which made exploring the water effortless. The location is amazing — a friendly, local neighborhood right on the beach. You can even purchase fresh fish right outside at the fisherman docks and cook it yourself, which was such a unique and authentic experience. Everything about the space felt intentional, clean, and welcoming. Anything you could possibly need for a relaxing, unforgettable Aruba vacation is here. We would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, local, and truly special place to stay. "
