This house has many positives that make it well worth taking a closer look for your Curaçao vacation rental!
The house is located on a *secluded* lot on the Spanish Waters inlet, a place where boats & catamarans (flying flags of a variety of countries) come for safe harbor. There is also a nearby marina with sea kayaks, kite-surfing & SUPs (stand-up paddleboards) available to rent and a variety of activity on the water to entertain. Several points of interest nearby: the historical fort, shopping, restaurants, public parks & beaches and other activities. (We were there for scuba diving and found a couple of dive shops close by.)
Your safety is a chief concern of the home owners, providing its occupants a real sense of security. The house is behind a remote-controlled gated entry and has lines-of-sight beams surrounding the perimeter as well as the house itself, to be secured each night before retiring. And, the security company may stop by if something is disrupting the beams (such a long towel blowing on the clothesline).
The interior of the house is spacious without taking up a lot of real estate— a very efficient layout. 2 bedrooms, each with a king bed (ideal for a traveling couples) and private bath; and, a nicely equipped kitchen/living area. In addition, there are several outdoor spaces to be enjoyed—a large covered area w/ large dining table, a smaller table under the pergola right by the water, and yet more seating out at the end of the dock. We also appreciated the outdoor shower for rinsing off scuba/snorkel gear after use.
Heather de Paulo was responsive to our Qs related to the house & tourist attractions—before & after arrival; and had some basic groceries waiting for us in the refrigerator since we were arriving very late. She also provided airport shuttles, since the house may be challenging to find for island first-timers. Don’t overlook the vehicle (Toyota RAV-4) that is offered—it was clean and can get around anywhere your touring may take you. It was a huge bonus to have waiting for us at the house and not have to deal with one more thing at the end of our long travel day getting to Curaçao.
One down side: Construction started on the neighboring property mid-week with a couple days of lot-leveling excavator work. Hope it is over soon—the noise was not loud-- but constant and started about 7:15am and went until 5:45pm.
