Beautiful, spacious 5 bedroom house was perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, spacious 5 bedroom house. We also enjoyed all of the amenities (swimming pool, hot tub, ping pong table, dart board, etc.) of the house as well. We rented cars and the house location was a perfect location for driving to the many beaches and other attractions and restaurants on the island. Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 children) had plenty of room to spread out and have fun. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who needs 4-5 bedrooms.

It was well kept, and we loved all the amazing amenities, including pool with waterfall, hot tub, sand volleyball pit, pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, and more! Kathleen and Kathy both went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable! Communication was great! This house is centrally located to beaches, restaurants, and supermarkets. We had such a wonderful stay and loved the option to have massages and pedis right on site! I highly recommend The Tropical Villa! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful place!!!

Best family Vacation ever

We are family of 7 and stayed here for a week. House is absolutely beautiful! We played pool, volleyball, foosball, pingpong and swam every day in the pool. Plenty of towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. The house was spotless when we arrived and check in was super easy. House is close to the grocery store and so many local restaurants. Plus only a few min from the beach. Kathy is the concierge of the home and set up 3 AMAZING excursions for our family at a lower rate then we could find on our own!! She was available 24/7 to answer questions regarding the area, shopping and even helped us coordinate the adoption of a local stray cat. This was a wonderful trip and we will definitely be back!

Great view for New Years Eve Fireworks!

Way are a family of nine and went to celebrate 2020. The house sits up on a hill and we were able to see more fireworks thing you can ever imagine on both sides of the island. We also had a birthday celebration and Diego made us the most incredible meal and served us outside under the gazebo. It was our favorite meal while on vacation. The pool is beautiful and refreshing and they keep it super clean. There are waterfalls coming down into the pool and it is just so relaxing. We enjoyed the home very much. Thank you!

Can’t wait to share our experience with family and friends as well. The groundskeeper Javier was very accommodating to our needs and truly an asset to all of us.

We arrived at the property and the kids immediately jumped in the pool!

Our family of 10 stayed here for the week. We love using VRBO because hotels are too expensive with the size of our family. This house is in a safe area( all of Aruba is ) but I really need to feel it and I did. Javier the housekeeper was helpful with anything we needed. The house is clean and huge. The backyard over looks Aruba . The skyline at night is beautiful and the property is well lit. The kids loved the house and if we ever come back to Aruba we will stay here again!

Our family loved our stay at Villa Tropical! The inside was clean, well-decorated and well-stocked with everything we needed (including lots of bath and pool towels, beach chairs, coolers, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, coffee filters, etc.). The outside was beautiful! We enjoyed relaxing by and in the pool, eating under the palapa (complete with outdoor TV and refrigerator), and playing darts and ping pong. Kathy was an amazing concierge! Do yourself a favor and enjoy her hot stone massage outside after dark- you won't regret it.

Amazing house!!

The house is just as spectacular as it looked on VRBO. The first two days of our vacation, it was hard to tear ourselves away from the house to leave to explore Aruba. So many things to do on the property...the pool, hot tub, volleyball court, ping pong table, just the grounds themselves. We were able to pick limes and papayas for our dinner. At night, several of the palm trees ahd little lights that you could turn on. The kitchen and laundry facilities were brand new. TVs in the den and every bedroom. The air conditioners and fans kept the house very comfortable. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Would love to return for another stay.!

nice with some miles on it

The house was as advertised, perhaps showing a little better in pictures than reality. It did sleep our party of 9 comfortably with room for more. The pool and hot tub were great. We used the grill and kitchen to cook and save money as Aruba is expensive for the day to day living and going out each day was not an option. The property did provide ample towels, linens, pots, pans, silverware, appliances, ice to keep all happy. The laundry facility was convenient to have on site. At each days end, all were happy, the trip a success. Javier was helpful when we needed advice or a hand. I would recommend others.

Amazing Aruba property

Amazing Aruba property! The pictures don’t do it justice. All of the pictures of the pool make the pool look really really small and it’s not. There were 12 of us in the pool and there was plenty of room to still swim around. We love the outside area to listen to music, sit and have dinner and play cards. Diego cookEd for us a few nights and the food he prepared was even better than the restaurants in Aruba and more reasonable! I recommend hiring Diego to cook at least one meal for you during your stay. Catherine did a great job cleaning and Kurt is an amazing property owner and it is extremely responsive to any concerns or questions you may have. We’re considering booking this property again with all of our children versus just with 12 adults. There’s ping-pong foosball pool table tons of stuff to do for kids and adults.

PARADISE ON ARUBA! AMAZING HOME!

We spent our college age daughters' spring break vacation at Aruba Villa Tropical and our entire family was extremely happy here. The owner Kurt was there to greet us and he and Javier showed us around. Kurt had just upgraded the TWO outdoor sound systems with powerful bluetooth speakers that we used every single day. He also just bought a giant new bbq grill for the home. The home is very comfortable with plenty of linens and towels. There is also plenty of beach chairs and towels. The kitchen is amazing and the house even has TWO washers and dryers. The garden is fantastic and the backyard was full of papaya that we ate everyday. Our kids had fun playing volleyball in the backyard and billiards under the gazebo. This house is a 5 star winner and also is a great value in comparison to other homes we have rented on Aruba. We will be back for sure!

Paradise in Aruba

Wow Aruba Villa Tropical is a fabulous place! A group of nine of us rented the villa for our annual Aruba trip. We had an absolutely marvelous time! The villa was well appointed and immaculate upon arrival.The caretaker Javier was amazing! He and Diego prepared a Latin barbecue for us one night that was absolutely delicious . They prepared the meal and even cleanup afterwords it was marvelous. Whenever we had an issue or a question we just called Javier and he was there immediately taking care of everything . We had an issue with hot water in two of the bathrooms. He quickly came over to regulate the water temperature. The outdoor area was beautiful it consisted of a pool with a waterfall, a Jacuzzi, ping pong table and outdoor speakers. It was though we were in our own private resort. All of the creature comforts of home in paradise. Thanks Kurt and Javier for the hospitality a marvelous time was had by all!

Family Fun Pad

To celebrate our 50th anniversary our extended family of 11 adults and 1 child stayed at this tropical villa. The villa allowed privacy for all of us with its five secluded bedrooms. The outdoor space was exceptional. We spent many hours in the pool, enjoyed the outdoor speakers, volleyball area, hot tub, and large table under the palapa. The outdoor camp chairs were great. We took them to Aruba's wonderful beaches with us every day. Grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, and St Anna Catholic Church were only a short drive away. Javier, the property manager, was onsite upon our arrival to greet us and show us around. Javier and Diego prepared food for us twice. The Latin barbecue and three types of ceviche were fabulous. They also handled the clean up afterwards. We enjoyed picking lemons from the fruit tree on the property for our tropical drinks. Owner Kurt answered all of our questions and checked in with us during our stay. Some things that would make the villa even better would be vinyl bath mats for the tile showers, as these can be slippery. This is not a problem if you were waterproof sandals in the shower. We would have preferred stainless steel cookware but managed with the non stick utensils provided. The ice dispenser could not keep up to our use. An additional ice maker would be nice for a large group, but nearby stores have plenty of ice. If we return to Aruba as a large group, we would love to stay here again! Nancy from northern Illinois

Septic waste takes away a lot of the beautiful property

We found AVT to be just ok with the potential to be a great property if it receives the appropriate TLC. The grounds are beautiful and we very much enjoyed the garden gazebo, volleyball court, and awesome pool and jacuzzi. The house itself is very spacious. The MBR, its bathroom & kitchen are modern. The layout of the rooms is well thought out. The beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately this is where the positive aspects end. The pictures that you see online don’t do this home justice but unfortunately not in a positive way. The secondary bedrooms and bathrooms are overdue for a renovation. Sinks were clogged, fixtures were old, bathroom doors wouldn’t lock, and one shower and kitchen never had hot water. Because of the non working shower in the 5th bedroom we had to share one shower with 4 people. We did address this with the owner but it was not corrected. There were quite a few cats & chickens which we actually enjoyed but I can see how it would bother other people. Especially since once in a while the cats would bring us presents in the shape of dead regurgitated lizards. The house had bright white LED lighting which is uninviting at night. One day we had two leaks because of rain - one by the window by the front door and one major one in the 5th bedroom. The sliding doors were difficult to open but according to the owner new doors will be installed soon. Lizards kept leaving droppings on the laundry room folding table because of a gap in the outside door. One of the bedrooms did not have any shades but this was corrected after we brought this up with Javier. The one thing that surprised and bothered us the most was that 5 times during our stay we had a truck pull up and dump septic waste right behind the fence in the back yard through a permanent flex pipe. One time the driver actually grabbed a folding chair, sat down in the yard and watched as human waste with toilet paper and baby wipes was being dumped right next to the volley ball court. The hand book does mention that septic water will be dumped ‘once or twice a week around the fruit trees’ but we felt it was pretty unsanitary. We could have brought up more of our concerns but in all honesty you are on vacation and just don’t feel like going through a laundry list. Most of these things should be obvious to the people who rent this out by doing a simple walk through every so often. All in all we had a great vacation but we will be looking for another home next time.
