We had a lovely stay at this house in Aruba. The pictures are true to life and the property manager responded quickly when we had an issue with the pool, sending someone out the next morning (it was a holiday when reported). There is a house being built directly next door, but they were only there one day during our 1 week stay and it wasn't noisy or bothersome. We really enjoyed being able to go visit the busier areas of the island and then retreat back to the peaceful house. We did use the kitchen daily and the laundry and grill and all worked as expected.
