My wife and I visited Aruba last year and loved Aruba so much, we decided to take our four grown children (all in their 30's) and their significant-others to Aruba for a family vacation this year. We debated on whether to stay in a High-Rise Hotel Resort again or to rent a house. We are so glad we decided to stay at this house. We rented both the main house and the guest house. The place is huge and the back yard and pool are wonderful. It's even better than the pictures show. The bedrooms and living rooms were very spacious, and each of our five couples had their own bedrooms & bathrooms. The backyard and pool area is just as nice as any resort, and we had it all to ourselves. You can connect your smartphone or tablet to the stereo system to listen to your own music both inside and out. The saltwater pool is a great place to hang-out after a long day of snorkeling, shopping, or touring. The landscape lighting, pool lights, outdoor music, and waterfall turn the backyard into your own private tropical oasis. There are just so many great areas around this house to relax and hang out. You can watch the sunset over the ocean from the rooftop veranda, relax in the gazebo, chat under the pergola, lay by the pool, sit on the front porch, or hang-out in the living room. You can walk out to the ocean, where you can swim, snorkel, or just walk along the beach. Anneke Gorter was so helpful both before and during out trip. She always answered our emails and phone calls before & during the trip. She met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house. Vanessa, the housekeeper, cleaned the house & washes the towels every day except Sunday. She even washed our dirty clothes. They provide towels, beach towels, and necessities such as shampoo, soap, hair dryers, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags. The house has two safes to store your valuables in. They provide free WiFi and a house phone for free local calls. This house is a great place to stay while in Aruba. The only slightly negative thing about the house is that it has firm beds. Other than that, it was awesome! Best family vacation ever!
