We stayed for a week over Christmas (for a 50th bday celebration) and wish we could have stayed longer!
The house manager (Mireille) met us at the villa when we arrived, and had done a small grocery shop for us (we sent her a list) so we had the basics at the house, and the hosts even gave us a bottle of wine. Mireille did a walkthrough and showed us around the house, and was super attentive throughout our visit, even texting us things to do in Curacao depending on the day.
The house is beautiful - the kitchen has been recently renovated, and has just about everything you need to be able to cook at home. There are stunning views of the sea and every morning we saw a cruise ship come into port, while watching and listening to the wild parakeets in the trees. We spent a lot of time on the veranda. The bedrooms are on the lower level and are air conditioned which was great for sleeping. We had a few very hot days so the upstairs was a bit warm but if you kept the windows and sliding doors open you got the sea breeze and we quickly got used to it. The villa is in a gated community with a shared pool that was recently renovated, and it was never busy when we went.
The beach (Mambo Beach) is within walking distance of the house (about 10 min). There is a strip of shops and restaurants there - check out Mood Beach or Berry Bliss for meals.
We had such a wonderful visit - we will be back. Thank you Niels and Mireille!
