This unit was beautiful, roomy, and had everything we neededâa pool and snorkeling access being the main things. We snorkeled every day in the crystal clear water and spent the rest of the time laying around the pool doing crossword puzzles. If you need to de-stress, this is the place to do it.Donkeys walked down the street at one point and there were tons of birds.The local grocery store was an easy walk. We strolled through side streets to avoid the busy road almost all the way.
Crown Ridge properties are private and quiet oases. Paradise Rentals was responsive and provided access to an app with a comprehensive guide for our stay. Check in was flawless. The home was prepped, clean, and well-cared for with a good selection of amenities. The pool area is like having your own mini-resort! Were able to rinse and dry gear without it being in the way. Love the garden! And the stairs down to the Andrea beach / dive site is a nice perk. We look forward to returning to this home / neighborhood!
Location, location, location! 14 Crown Ridge met our expectations and then some! From all the wildlife to spectacular ocean views and convenience and access to the ocean, this place will meet your needs. The pool got plenty of use and the central air conditioning was a luxury for sure. We will be back next year.
Beautiful, relaxing, exactly as described. Fish outside swimming amongst the coral. This house gives you the feeling of peace. .Hummingbirds were so sweet playing around in trees.Beautiful birds all day.What more could we want.Island was also wonderful, snorkled all over and the snorkling in our own backyard was the best. ..One more thing you try thr Ribeye at the Dock restaurant it is done to perfection. ..we will be back Harriet and Mike.
We were familiar with this location and chose it specifically. It is close to town and it is great to be so close to several dive sites. We love having a pool to jump into at the end of the day. The patio is stellar for bird watching and there are hummingbirds everywhere!
We really enjoyed this villa. The snorkeling at the bottom of the steps was some of the best on Bonaire. Location is good, close to restaurants and grocery stores. We liked the wildlife, beautiful birds. We will stay here the next time we travel to Bonaire.
This house must be one of the best vacation rental proprties on the island. It has a beautiful view of the ocean, steps to the shorline to one of the best snorkeling and swimming sites. Quiet and peaceful environment. 10 minutes driving to town, but many restaurants are located within 5 minutes of driving too. We had a great time and weâll return to enjoy the nature and the company of the friendly locals
We were here after New Years with a plan for me to learn to dive (my friends are experienced divers), and this villa did not disappoint. It had everything we needed for an amazing stay. It was incredibly clean and the location was perfect for a quick dive off the beach or a trip into town. It's generally convenient to all the dive spots on the north side of the island, but everything on Bonaire is within a 30 min drive honestly. The pool was a great place to relax at the end of the day, and we even cooked a few meals here at night. Highly recommend for a family or group of friends!
We love Bonaire, and we love staying on the ocean and in this neighborhood. This is a great property and it's right on a superb snorkeling and diving beach. We have rented for several years through the agency that manages this property and they have been excellent to work with. Highly recommend! Not one negative to write.
The property is as advertised. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was working well and was a god send for us Colorado USA residents. The pool area is private and lovely! The dive/snorkel site at the edge of the property is Andrea 1. The reef there is in excellent condition. We found entry and exit was a challenge for divers not experienced with shore diving. Our snorkelers had no problem with it. I would stay again. Be aware of the $70 head tax to get on the island and the $40 fee per person to use the marine park. At $110 per person it can be unexpected. We had to pay $540 just to be there using the marine park for 5 people.
This is a nice house in a perfect location on Bonaire. The furniture is comfortable and the house well appointed. The layout, having to use an outdoor door or walk thru the second bedroom to get to the master bedroom is a bit odd. The outdoor area is lovely with multiple seating areas and tons of privacy. There is a walk down from the deck directly down to the Andrea I dive site. One thing I would recommend is to add a few outdoor umbrellas for shade.
Paradise Rentals was easy to work with. The pre-arrival communication was good and let us know everything we needed. There was a small mix-up with the keys not being at the airport when we arrived, but a few calls were made and the wait for them was not too long. We had a problem with one of the air conditioners during our stay and someone was sent within a few hours of our call to fix the unit.
I would stay at this property again and would certainly use Paradise Rentals for our next trip to Bonaire.
Beautiful home, relaxing dive vacation on Bonaire!
This spacious home is well-kept and very clean. It is located in a community. Despite the houses lined up next to each other, it felt very private - we never heard noise from neighbors.
The kitchen is stocked for every need that might arise. There is a dishwasher too! Beautiful stainless appliances, plus there is drinkable water from the fridge. All the rooms are spacious. Internet worked perfect after I turned on the router. The pool area is roomy with several lounge areas, plus the pool is a good size.
The A/C in the house worked instantly. The master bedroom A/C is quiet and we were comfortable every night. The master is surrounded by windows and there are french doors that can be opened to the garden.The master is spacious with lots of closet room. The master bath is huge with lots of counter space!
The garage made an excellent storage area for our unlimited nitrox tanks from AB Rental. The side gate was perfect for bringing gear back to the pool area to rinse off. Two big bins are provided for cleaning scuba gear. The hose and outdoor shower are also right there. There is a hanging bar as well as a drying rack, all our gear dried surprisingly fast!
We dove twice from the house, which is located right in front of dive sites Andrea 1 & 2. We just walked down the stairs and in to the water.
There is a safe in the house. The garage has a washer and dryer.
Two small drawbacks ... The greenery in between the house and water provide excellent privacy but unfortunately you can not see the water when seated. Each night we stood to watch the sun set directly in front of the house over the water. Beautiful!
The master bed is very firm. Might be a plus for you! The master bedroom requires you to walk thru one other bedroom and the master bath. This house would work fine for 2 couples, but if you are 3 couples, then review the layout.
This property is rented out by Paradise Rentals Bonaire. Very responsive via email. Rob and Zwanet are friendly and accommodating locals who run this agency.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Bonaire. If I changed anything, I would have changed our dates for a longer stay!
Loved the location of the villa! It worked very well for diving and relaxing. Dive site and great snorkeling just down the private steps off the back of the property. Itâs located in a nice quiet neighborhood convenient to town and groceries, about a 10 minute drive. Thereâs a closer grocery store, about 5 minutes but seemed to have less fresh produce and tons of frozen foods. The AC worked great when needed. If youâre really into cooking- the kitchen could use a little attention in the cookware department, but we managed pretty well all things considered. I would recommend this villa. And donât miss the restaurant down the street to the north Mararoca- so good!
