A pretty chalet - style apartment with private entrance within the grounds of the owners' villa, ideal for a couple who wish to spend a pleasant stay in complete tranquility, far from the madness of hotels. Access to the pool of the villa !!!!!!! (shared with owner) The apartment has a mezzanine bedroom with a king size, but also a sofa bed ideal for a teenager !!!!! Private entrance.
The apartment is right next to our villa on a plot of 1400m2, which is in a small residence of 10 houses. It has a private entrance. We are 3 minutes drive from a local pizza bar, 5 minutes from the first supermarket, 5 minutes from the entrance to Arikok National Park and ...... less than 10 minutes from the beaches. Getting around It is better to rent a car, we can help you with it. We will be more than happy to organize your vacation so that you get the most out of your stay
Sophie was great! She was very welcoming and helpful with places to eat and things to do. The property was just as described. Located in a nice neighborhood. The pool was a nice escape from the crowded beaches.
Property was clean host Sopie was lovely,multilingual and very helpful. Location was great for active off the beaten path vacation. Very close to National Park
Host was very pleasant. She showed us how to lock the door and unlock the door. As previously stated in a review itâs a tricky door lock, but once you understand how to use it, itâs easy. Was a little disappointed with the pool. It was listed as a âprivateâ pool. It was on the main property which is overlooked by the hosts main house. Not a terrible issue, except the pool was cloudy and murky. Host stated it was due to the rain that overcame the island the previous week, but still didnât feel comfortable using it. Also, for a weeks time, we had 1 roll of toilet tissue, which was odd, but we bought some at the local store. Overall it was good, but could have been better.
What a fantastic spot. Away from the main tourist area, this little oasis is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hosts provide all that you need to enjoy quiet days by the pool and relaxing times in the outdoor living and dining area. If you rent a car it is an ideal location to explore all the wonders of the island while still being able to escape it all.
Sophie was amazing at keeping in touch and even making sure we knew about necessary forms for customs entry and had good directions to get to the house. She gave us recommendations on restaurants and local beach spots. More importantly, she gave us ideas of places not worth visiting or better alternatives. We sat at the pool a few evenings and just chatted and felt so comfortable here. Very much enjoyed our 2 weeks in San Fuego.
Sophie and her family were the best host I have ever had. Not only is she so sweet and helpful but her house and pool were perfect for us. The pool is deep, clean, and private. The outdoor kitchen was the perfect place to make a great meal. We enjoyed our stay so much. Stop looking and book with Sophie for an authentic Aruba experience!
Sophie and her husband are a great Host and Hostess. They are very kind and welcoming. The rental is a cozy addition to their own house in a private high end neighborhood. They have a wonderful backyard and pool. It is very quiet. We had a wonderful stay! We wished that we could have stayed longer!
STAY AWAY! RUN! This has been one of the worst vacation weeks I have booked for the amount of money we have paid. This is a 1 star or a 2 star property at best, over priced on Expedia or VRBO. Hereâs a summary.
1) Safety concerns due to front door not locking properly, although host has explained how to
lock/unlock, we still found the process to be quite problematic, causing us to have the door open while we slept.
2) false advertising, pictures did not match the property once we arrived. Outdoor kitchen was shown to deceptively look like an indoors kitchen in the pictures, which comes with endless bugs, mosquitos and noise. Additionally, in the pictures there was a washer and dryer, that also was not shown in any of the pictures.
3) health concerns - scorpions in furniture and beach chairs, which I had to kill on the beach before sitting down. If I didnât, I would have gotten poisoned.
4) lack of amenities - lack of toilet paper, and basic spices. I had to buy everything myself.
5) cleanliness - we cleaned everything we used in the outdoor kitchen, plates were dirty, coffee machine was soooo filthy, cups were dusty. This was so bad, you as a guest would expect at the very least to have clean things in the kitchen to make a meal of a simple cup of coffee in the morning.
You can tell that this host simply doesnât care about this property, it barely meets basic standards to be listed. Expedia lost my trust and future business. Weâre done with this platform.
We loved Sophieâs rental!
Great privacy and comfort. We used the pool every day. The king bed was very comfy and the air conditioning and fans kept us cool. We made good use of the kitchen - frying eggs or sausage for breakfast. Very nice shower room. It was nice having the private entrance to the property. The house is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend this Sweet Chalet in Paradise!!
The property and the hosts were lovely! The space was new and clean and felt very private. There's a beautiful large pool for you to use. The host was available and helpful with any questions we had. The neighborhood is beautiful, but a bit far from the action. Renting a car/jeep is recommended. Perfect place for a couple. Loved it. Thank you.
