VACANCES EN BONAIRE à pied de la mer, centre et école de

Great place and only a short walk to downtown. Has a nice open kitchen and living room and great ventilation and cross breeze with the doors open. The back patio is lovely for lounging and enjoying your morning coffee or an afternoon nap with a pleasant breeze as well. Kitchen is properly outfitted for preparing meals but there are plenty of restaurants close by if you choose not to cook. Good value for the price and I'd stay there again!

Great location and a wonderful home very close to the ocean. Just a short walk to the downtown area and a few minutes to watch the sunsets, snorkel or scuba dive. House is very well equipped for any length of stay. We were here for 10 weeks and were very happy with our accommodations. Owner extremely nice and easy to work with. Local management company answered all of our questions promptly. Many great restaurants to choose from just a short distance away. Would highly recommend staying here.

We had a fantastic time scuba diving in Bonaire. I give this property 5 stars because it was just what it was advertised. We selected this property because we were a family of 4 on a budget. The home was comfortably furnished, with space enough that allowed us to relax and feel at home while on our island vacation. The local management person was extremely helpful and friendly. He went out of his way to insure our vacation was just perfect. He was able to provide us with recommendations for local food favorites. He contacted us several times to check in and make sure we didn't need anything. The kitchen is nicely stocked. The tap water is good for drinking. We were able to prepare several meals at home, allowing us time to relax between dives. The water hose and clothesline in the backyard allowed us to clean our diving gear. This is a private home in a local neighborhood. Island life includes keeping chickens ,which we could hear early in the morning and living outside, we could hear the local music in the evenings. IF you aren't prepared to be a part of the community this might bother you. The neighborhood is nice with people coming and going, but no one causing any problems. We found the locals all over the island to be very friendly and helpful. From our rental property we were able to walk into the city center for dinner in the evening. A lovely walk and very safe. We also drove the car to the city center and found parking very easy. Lots of nice choices for dining out. Lots of grocery shopping selections for dining in. Our goal was scuba diving. This property was excellent for our needs. We had a wonderful stay in Bonaire.

Located in a quiet area close to dive friends Bonaire. It is a 12 min walk along the sea to city center (we did that walk every night). 15 min from Eden Beach and Coco Beach (where you can rent a shaded chair by the sea for 5$). The house was everything we expected. Bed was comfortable with quality mosquitos net and Air/C. The highlight was certainly the back patio where we could sip our drinks after a day of diving. I recommend the 9 min walk to Bobbejan's rib place (2 Kaya Albert Engelhardt) open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 6-10pm, (sunday 12-2 pm also). The best place to hang is at the little Havana café on Friday nights. They have some reasonably priced Cuban cigars (or you can bring your own too and have a drink). The Palu di Mangel Beach (not far from the airport but frankly with few planes a day not bothering at all....) is a good place to snorkel but there aren't many shaded places available. However the Kite City food truck there is as good as any upscale restaurant in Kralendjik (try the tune sashimi if they have it). We tried "It rains fishes" (24 Kaya Jan N E Craane; this is on the main street by the sea and they have a website), good food quality at tourist prices. If you go, I recommend the catch of the day. However, wines on the list are way too expensive for what they worth. Ingridiënts restaurant (85 Kaya Gob. N. Debrot just beside buddy dive resort; they have a website too) had a better wine list at more reasonable prices (we had a white Cortese from Piedmont for 35$), the view on the sea and pier is nice and you can see some divers doing night diving. My Marlin steak was cook (or should I say uncooked) to perfection! It was a bit pricey too but nothing unbearable. The grocery store Van Den Tweel have a small selection of wines. A lot of crap but the best are the ones by Nederburg, Vondeling and Casa Lapostolle (ranging from $8 to 16$). The Washington Slagbaai National Park worth it for us (we had a little truck to go), did diving there (slightly wilder than dive places outside the park). It is probably the best place to photograph Pink Flamingos, lizards and cactus (N.B. you need to buy the permit to enter the park). We did not need the intervention of the owner for anything but he welcomed us and seemed available for any concern or information we could have had/needed. I would certainly go back to this house. P.S. The person who welcomed us also speaks French.

Wij hebben 16 dagen genoten van dit fijne huis. Alles is aanwezig en de locatie is goed, het centrum van Kralendijk is prima aan te lopen. Doordat het huis in een woonwijk ligt hoor je zo nu en dan wel hanen, honden of de lokale bevolking. Maar daar krijg je een heel leuke plek voor terug! We hebben iedere ochtend en avond heerlijk op de veranda of in de pool gezeten.

Het huis was schoon en werd na een week nogmaals schoongemaakt, ook voor het reinigen van de pool kwam iemand langs.

De beheerder was vriendelijk, goed bereikbaar en hielp ons snel verder bij vragen.

Dit huis is zeker een aanrader en wij hopen snel weer terug te komen!
