Amazing spot, outside of the main tourist area but still accessible to everything. We were biking and had quick access to incredible trails along the east coast. Kim is an exceptional host! She pays attention to everything, even small details that made our stay so enjoyable.

This was a beautiful, quiet property. It was isolated enough to be peaceful and become one with nature. The host was a beautiful woman who was beyond helpful for any questions we had and met our every need. The pool was a perfect addition, to cool off and enjoy nature. Laying in the hammock next to 85 million year old boulders was magical. And if you are interested in seeing different species of birds, they are here. 10/10 amazing place and amazing host.

OMG!!! What can I say?!!! FIVE STARS all across the board!!Kim is such a gracious host! Friendly, Funny, and above all so respectful.After experiencing the death of a loved one back in the States, I wanted to be in a place of peace. Away from the “Norm” in Aruba.BOOM! Found it! So if you ever want to experience a place of peace. Solas, Nature, quiet, breezy, birds chirping all day, and a place to call your own for the time needed…. This is the place!Though I have loved ones here in Aruba, THIS will NOW be my “personal” HAPPY PLACE!!Thank you so much Kim.I will be seeing you real soon!

Incredible Stay - Amazing Host - Best Sunsets!

This property is absolutely gorgeous! Quaint guest house on a beautiful piece of property. Kim provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Beach chairs, beach towels, even provided a volleyball when we requested one! The saltwater cocktail pool was skimmed daily and always clean. The massive boulders on the property provided the best spot for champagne and the most beautiful sunset! We even had some romaing sheep visit the property. Definitely recommend !!

Amazing Stay

I couldn’t have asked for anything else!! This was my first 5 day solo trip to Aruba. Kim is super sweet and super informative! It was so clean, the bed and linens were super comfortable, the grounds were breathtaking and she keeps it so nice! I can’t wait to return for a longer stay! This place is way better than the resorts! It’s a must try!
