Susan is an incredible hostess and we felt very blessed to stay at her property. There was plenty of room, and our boys truly enjoyed having their own space in the beach/pool house. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend this property. Ideal location (need rental car) close to best beaches. Owner and property management were easy to work with. House is as described - we loved the separate guest quarters which was perfect for our daughters. Well stocked, clean, spacious! Will be renting here again in future trips.
We had a party of 6 and the space was perfect for our group. Plenty of space to relax wothxample pool loungers, chairs and seating areas. Nice to have two separate buildings with bathrooms and kitchens. Property management company did a great job walking us through the rental and communicating with us. Thanks so much!
The property was beautiful and perfect for us all to both spread out and come together to play games. The check in process was helpful with a guided tour. Any questions we had were answered immediately by the owner via the website. I highly recommend this property if your are going to Aruba.
Esmeralda Escape is a great house in Noord, Aruba. It has everything you will need for your trip. The house is very spacious and was perfect for my family. The outdoor area was great for getting together at the end of the day for dinner. It is a short drive to all of the beaches on the northern end of the island and the Palm Beach shopping district. It is also about 10 minutes from Super Foods which is very convenient. Communication with the owner was very easy and coordinating arrival and departure with Judy, the property manager, made our stay seamless. I strongly recommend this house
What a beautiful oasis in my favorite place in the world! Owner and Management were very attentive and helpful! Love this beautiful place. Canât wait to stay again!
We loved our time in Aruba and the house was fantastic. The house was as described with everything you need. The host was excellent and communication was great. They greeted us on arrival and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Convenient to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommend the property and we will be back!
Wonderful home, lovely owners and property management. Home was as advertised , safe, clean, up to date, and beautiful. In short, I would stay here again and recommend the property to others..
The vacation home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Aruba. Having a pool in the back yard was an added advantage as it gave us an opportunity to relax in the back yard and enjoy a nice refreshing dip in the pool. It is a beautiful home and it was nice to have the main house and the guest house so that we all had privacy when we needed it.
Just as beautiful and comfortable as it looks online. Great location for getting to beaches, grocery stores, and restaurants. Pool was clean and well designed (the kids and adults used it nightly).
Lots of bedrooms and a pull out sleeper sofa, 4 bathrooms so everyone was happy!
We found this on short notice due to a cancellation. Lucky us! Property was in a great location, quiet neighborhood, felt safe. Had everything we needed for a weekâs stay. Would definitely return in the future.
Separate guest house worked out great for our three 18-21 yo girls to have their own space. Really enjoyed the pool. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals during our stay. Beds were comfortable And it was great having washer/dryer. Easy access to Arashi Beach and lighthouse as well as Palm Beach area. Check in process was easy. Property manager was so kind and gracious and full of good tips. Safe wasnât working but we had no issues and felt safe personally as well as with our property the whole time
Our party of 6 adults spent 10 great days at Esmeralda. The location was great and the house was well equipped and clean. The beds were the most comfortable we have had in a rental and the pool area was my favorite place! Anna checked us in and was very helpful and we had the pleasure of meeting the owners who couldn't have been nicer! It all made for a great vacation. Thank you Susan!
Everything is just as pictured and we look forward to returning next year! Susan is a wonderful host and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. If we needed anything all we had to do was call the property manager. The outdoor area is very spacious and the pool area is beautiful. Itâs like being in your own private resort. Close to beaches, restaurants, and grocery store.
Great location.

Once again, thanks for sharing your island paradise with us..
My family and I absolutely loved our stay. It was clean and spacious (4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) and was kid-friendly, which is a plus for us as we came with our 2yo and 4yo children. Susan even provided a crib and high chair for our youngest which was a huge relief for me, less things to pack! We had absolutely everything we needed, from beach towels and chairs to candles, condiments, everything. Having a pool on the property is also a plus. Yolanda the property manager was very nice and always responded quickly whenever we needed her. I would definitely recommend this property to others!
This property is the best. Went for a quiet girls vacation. This place delivered. The property has everything you need for your stay. It was like a home away from home. I can't express hoe enjoyable the pool was. Yolanda the property mgr was awesome. She was available if we had questions or needed information. This place is on my list of returning. Thanks again Susan. Your place is awesome.
We had a wonderful time at the property was beautiful, and a great safe location that we were even able to take a walk one evening. Appreciate all the towels and washing machine and dryer. There were a few repairs improvements we recommended with the host.The only reason for giving a four-star on the accuracy of those listing is the guest home has been updated and is not the same kitchen as photos. There was not a table or counter in the guest home. however, we rented both sides so we used to the main dining room and the patio table quite a bit.
Aruba is a beautiful place to visit and this was a fantastic location near the California lighthouse and it was a nice comfortable home with a private pool.
This was my second trip to Esmeralda Escape. I loved it so much last time with friends that I brought my family this time.
The hosts are wonderful to work with, the house is located so that everything on the island us easy to get to.
We loved the separate houses, the kids loved having their own place. Some days we never even left with the tranquility of the pool.
I have to say my favorite part of the entire trip was having Pup Pup the neighbor dog come visit. I have to return soon just to go see her.
Thank you Susan and David. We will be back soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property with lots of space and everything we needed! Plenty of beach towels, three coolers for beach trips. We appreciated having the alarm system for extra security. Very good air conditioning and lovely outdoor seating areas - both shaded and sunny. We did find the hot water was not plentiful and a little unpredictable. But, not a major drawback for us. The location was a quick drive from beautiful beaches, restaurants, groceries. The property managers were very responsive and helpful!
We had the most amazing Aruba vacation at this beautiful house! The house is gorgeous and well-equipped with everything you need. Susan (homeowner) was extremely kind, informative, and prompt to respond to any questions we had. Anna (property manager) was extremely friendly & helpful upon arrival. Our stay consisted of 5 adults & 3 kids (ages 12-16). There was plenty of room for everyone and we especially loved the pool and spending time at the comfy outdoor dining area. We will especially miss our days on Eagle Beach, dining out & Pup Pup, the neighborhood dog who made daily visits. She was the sweetest dog who we spoiled with lots of belly rubs & treats. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had & would love to come back again!
Overall, we had a very nice stay at Esmeralda Escape.
Positives:
Very large private back yard.
Comfortable furniture throughout the property.
Very comfortable beds and nice bedding/pillows.
Efficient air conditioning.
Property is very close to the major points of interest on the island as well as Superfoods.
Property very well equipped with beach supplies, pool toys, sheets, towels, coolers, etc.
Very helpful owners.
Negatives:
Hot water. The house has a tankless water heater. In the main house you had to run the water for several minutes in order to get hot water and the back house never had hot water, just tepid at best. Being that we're supposed to conserve water we felt bad about how much water we were wasting in order to get hot/warm water. I would recommend installing a regular hot water heater and ditching the tankless one.
Dishes - would be nice if more dishes matched. I would recommend buying matching dishes from a restaurant supply place and shipping them to the island.
Management Company - We were led to believe that we had to be checked out on our last day so they could check meter readings, get keys, etc. We requested they be at the property at 6:15 a.m. but they did not arrive until almost 7 a.m. They told us they would read the meter and charge us if we owed anything. Although we still made out flight with time to spare it was a bit of a stressful way to end our fabulous vacation on Aruba.
Way too many keys to carry around. I would definitely recommend trying to rekey some doors so they use the same key. It just doesn't look very professional to hand guests a jumble of multiple key chains attached together with 25 keys on it.
I would stay at this property again as long as the hot water situation is fixed.

Loved the property. Ann met us at the house and walked us through it all. A lot of beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys for the kids. Pool was great for chilling in after running around the island all day! Would come back in a heartbeat!

Susan and David live in Charlotte, North Carolina but their heart is in Aruba. The first time they traveled to Aruba they knew it was where they wanted to spend their time. They have traveled the Caribbean and love the people and the land of Aruba.
Susan loves coming to the island to practice her photography which you will find throughout the home.
Esmeralda Escape is exactly that...a wonderful escape. Once you arrive at Esmeralda Escape, the Aruba breeze welcomes you to the courtyard where you can forget your worries, enjoy the sun or shade, relax in the pool and make beautiful memories with your family and friends.
