Great location and very nice unit. Jacky met us upon arrival and departure. Literally steps to the private beach. Walking distance to downtown Punda restaurants and shops. We loved it!
This place was wonderful. The location was perfect as well with many restaurant options within walking distance. Also, the snorkeling outside of the breaker was amazing (both night and day). Also, Miss Jacky was wonderful whenever we needed anything at all. We stayed for 13 days and our kids (15 and 13) loved it as well. Perfect place for a get away to Curacao!!
Breath-taking view and best corner lagoon-front location at The Strand, walkable to hip district and convenience stores, but private and serene in genuine friendly neighborhood setting. Charmed choice for a long stay to explore the islands diverse beaches and historic sites.
Great location! The listing was exactly as described & pictured, and was more than enough for our group of four adults. Having our own beach & pool was great, and so was proximity to some great restaurants! Petra was a great host & quickly answered any of our questions!
The views and the location are absolutely amazing. We were on the first floor to where we would literally walk out from our dining table area on the deck and directly to the Lagoon.
We absolutely loved our stay. The location was great and the private lagoon and view from our condo was unparalleled. Beautifully maintained property that was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Petra's beautiful place. The whole complex was well maintained. The flowers and beach were beautifully cared for each day we were there. The accomodations were as described and met our expectations!
Excellent location, within walking distance of a handfull of very good restaurants, or a bit futher Willemstad, Manbo beach, plenty of snorkling opportuniteits close to the appartment, setting was quiet, away from the wind with an amazing view.
We stayed at The Strand for the second time, in a different unit from the first time, but we enjoyed it just as much. The location allows us to walk to Punda, the sea is very good, the apartment is comfortable and well equipped. Communication with Petra was excellent
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is very comfortable, delightfully close to the little beach, and cooling by the tradewinds meant we seldom used any AC. Several excellent restaurants in walking distance, and the museums etc just a short drive away....when we wanted to leave the super relaxing and quiet front porch and view.
We are now in the apartment for the third time and are once again thrilled by the beautiful furnishings, the management, and the location with our own beach.We come again !!!
Nice luxury apartment with all the amenities in a great location.The beach/lagoon is THE highlight and we did not see the point of visiting any others on the island. Renting a car is HIGHLY recommended as it gets super hot out. Petra was awesome from beginning to end; Friendly, helpful and responsive to all our inquiries. We truly can't wait to come back!
This was the perfect beachfront vacation for our first trip to Curaçao!
The location was beautiful, with a walkout patio to the beach. Lots of beach chairs available every day, great snorkeling and swimming. The condo was clean and the perfect size for two couples. Petra was prompt in responding to questions as was her assistant Jacky. Great location to walk to shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!
Family of 4, with 2 teenagers stayed for a week over New Years â22.
Great condo with beautiful art by Nena Sanchez, steps away from the beach that has both a pool and a private lagoon.
No need for air conditioning during the day, nice breeze flow through the condo.
Petra was very helpful and easily reachable.
This is a well equipped condo. Nice kitchen, 3 beds, 3 baths and washer/dryer. WiFi was good. TV had NFL, EPL etc. Itâs on the ground floor so one can walk right out to the beach that is private to the complex. There are only 20 units so we were always able to find a shaded beach chair. There is also a pool. Very relaxing. We snorkeled in the protected lagoon and saw many fish. Yes, there are better snorkeling spots on the island, but itâs nice to be able to just hop in. Sandy, shallow beach is nice for little ones. One can walk to many restaurants. On New Yearâs Eve one can see fireworks up and down the coast, a great display.
We had a nice stay in Curacao and The Sands gives you the opportunity to walk into town and eat at some nice restaurants.
The unit was nice. The central air unit went out prior to our arrival, and Petra provided portable A/C units for the bedrooms. One of the units did not work. We were able to sleep relatively well, but you may want to wait until the A/C unit is fixed before visiting.
Overall, a nice stay.
When we arrived we were greeted and showed around the property and our unit. It was everything that we thought it would be. It was right on the beach you could just walk out the door and there was a beautiful beach and a sparkling clean pool. Petra the owner was very accommodating as we had a problem with the fan in one bedroom that didn't work we notified her and within a couple of hours she had bought a new one and brought it and set it up for us. Much more than we expected. The rooms were very clean the unit was well stocked with everything you needed to cook if you felt like eating in there was also a few restaurants down the street that you could walk to. She also provided snorkeling gear that was left for anybody to use and we took great advantage of that the snorkeling was fantastic right outside the door I would highly recommend anybody to come and stay here and we will definitely be back thank you again Petra for a wonderful vacation for a girls trip to the beach
We have gone to many Carribean islands and stayed in many wonderful condos but this one ranks # 1 for us. We have never been this close (just a few steps) to the ocean. It was walking distance to town which was a plus. The kitchen was fabulous for cooking breakfast everyday and could not have been a better dining experience on the patio just steps from the lagoon. There was plenty of shade with several palapas. The pool was refreshing after a day of snorkeling destinations. We enjoyed Serafina, Fish & Joy Bistro, and Rozendaels restaurants just 3 blocks away. We also did a free walking tour of Willemstad which was amazing and turned us on to RustiQ which was a great evening experience with delicious apps and drinks and live music.
We loved the whole vibe of Curaçao every where we went.
We will return!
-"The Strand" apartment complex is prime location, next to the renewed Avila Hotel. On walking distance to Willemstad, nicely restored old Holland Punda district, with the best restaurants on the island.. The management of the property at The Strand apartment E1, is professional handled by Mrs. Petra Spelter.
Ground floor apartment with direct access to the white sanded beach and pool, snorkeling and scuba diving. Tropical gardening at the entrance and in front of the beach porch. Nice breeze flows and freshens through the apartment during the day- and air-conditioning needed mainly during the night hours.
