If you haven’t been to Aruba before, then you are in for a real treat! If you have been there, then you know what we’re talking about. Aruba is a very friendly island and it is very safe. You can walk the beaches or the streets at any time of day or night without fear of being in danger. The people who live on the island are peaceful and trustworthy, as well as, fun-loving. The climate is always warm with a pleasant tropical breeze and the beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world.
The water in Aruba is safe to drink right from the tap, in fact, it tastes much better than most of the water you drink in the states. The variety of foods available is amazing; from Chinese to Cuban to Dutch cuisine and it all tastes wonderful! And, shopping is a tourist’s delight.
Having visited Aruba over 80 times in the past 20 years, we thought it was time to buy property there. Aruba feels like our second home anyway. We bought land in a new development not far from the airport. We began building our vacation dream house in July 2001. The house is a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, Caribbean ranch style. We have decorated it in a light, comfortable manner maintaining an open atmosphere yet trying to achieve a tropical coziness. We also have a private swimming pool which is wonderful if you just want to stay at the house or for late evening swims when you return from your adventures on the Island. Since we can’t be there full time, we thought we would share our beautiful home with others.
Since we live in New England, we are familiar with renting cottages on Cape Cod. We thought we might use the same concept for our house in Aruba. The house is completely furnished. Bed linens and bath towels are supplied. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cooking tools, etc. There is no maid service. We ask our guests to please pick up after themselves and leave the place in the same good order as they found it.
We do have a property manager in Aruba, should you have any problems. She will greet you when you arrive, be available by phone throughout your stay for emergencies, and will close up the house when you leave.
We suggest that you make arrangements for a rental car before you arrive. Although our home is very close to the airport and the downtown area, there is no public transportation in this residential area. You will want to visit many of the beautiful beaches which are all over the island, sample many of the wonderful restaurants, and explore the island so a rental car or jeep is a must. Links to rental car agencies, restaurant sites, water sports, etc., can be found on our home page.
We look forward to having you as our guest. Please e-mail us with any questions or reserve a week right now! Bon Bini!
