Amazing spring break!

We stayed for 8 days and it was nothing short of amazing. The pool was a huge hit with my kids. The house was huge and enough space for all. The location is amazing like a 3 minute walk to the market and about 5 minutes to the beaches and resturants! Elise was amazing and quick to answer any questions we had.

Great stay in Jan Thiel

There is also a supermarket in less then 5 minute walking distance. The owner and property manager were easy to reach. Definitely recommend.

Great Times for Everyone

We came to Curaçao for a family vacation with all our son’s and their families to celebrate our 40th Wedding anniversary! There were 13 of us including 5 grand children from ages 6 months to 4 years old! This was the perfect place to stay for a large family! Plenty of room, great pool area, each room has its own bathroom, so you could have privacy and then can meet by the pool and hang out in the common area together!! Great location, close to a store, restaurants, and Jan Thiel beach! Elise was awesome, she met us when we checked in and out, she provided great recommendations and was always available and responded quickly as did the owners. We loved our stay and you will too!

Fantastic House

This house is beautiful and it's in a great location. Everyone having their own bathroom is exactly what's needed when traveling with a group. Elise was fantastic to work with and did our first groceries for us. The supermarket is right down the block which is super convenient. The beach is also down the block and provides plenty options for dining and entertainment. The day we arrived there was a blackout in the area, but thankfully the restaurants at the beach have generators so we never missed a beat. We used 6 bedrooms and really only put the ACs on to sleep and were very mindful of the water use, so our overage was minimal. Elise also referred us to Angelique-Perfect Choice Taxi for our trips to and from the airport and Willemstad. She was fantastic! Overall my group had a great time!

Great House

We had a group of 11 and enjoyed the house so much. There was so much room it never felt crowded and not having to share rooms with other adults in a rental is so nice. The pool was very nice and the house was so clean, we cooked breakfast every morning before starting our day. You can walk to the grocery store, restaurants, casino and beach. The only negative was the energy consumption, we only ran the air conditioner at night while we slept and didn't really turn any lights on and unplugged everything and we still went over the allotted amount, so it was a very hot stay but we are American and not used to not having air conditioning running all the time. The property manager was very easy to reach and took care of any issues in a very timely manner. Would absolutely stay here again given the chance.

Lack of transparency

Lack of transparency re additional charges is the biggest miss for this property . As an example we added 1 person for the stay which added almost 1000 euros but the electric and water daily allotment remained the same . In other words the more people stay the higher the price ( which makes sense ) but you will be slapped with a staggering additional cost that is by no means communicated before hand .i simply don’t understand how the allotment for electric and water can be the same whether you’re staying with 6 people or 12 people . We’ve been staying in this area for years and unfortunately this was the first time we’ve encountered this . On top of that there are quite a few little annoyances , from ice machines not working to not having enough garbage disposal . On the positive side I have to say that property management showed understanding and responded quickly but often mentioned that there’s nothing they can do as it’s up to the owners .

De vakantiewoning bevat alle luxe die je maar kan wensen. Alles was tip-top in orde en echt niets dat er niet was. Absoluut een aanrader wanneer je met een groot gezin (wij waren met 9 volwassenen en 2 kleine kinderen) een vakantie wilt die zeker aan alle verwachtingen voldoet.

Lovely home and best location in Jan Thiel, Curacao

This property is everything the photos depicted and more. It had a dream kitchen and a beautiful backyard with a pool. The manager Elisa was responsive and helpful, even offering to shop for groceries before we got there. The home is close to shops, gyms, restaurants (yummy sushi) and the beach with a lot of fun activities for all ages. Even better, the home owner's brother and his wife were visiting. Our taxi to the airport was running late and he kindly offered to drive us to the airport, he was engaging and interesting. Then, I forgot my laptop and he had already left. I was so panicked. I contacted Elisa and he came back. I am so grateful to him. Guys, I was lucky because the brother lives in Holland and does not come with the house :) - just sharing my wonderful experience with the lovely home and the family that came with it. I strongly recommend it and I would go back again and again.
