"Excellent accommodations, phenomenal location, fantastic local neighbors and town bar, astronomical beach, and the most loving visitors ever (local dogs)…made this stay the most perfect getaway and vacation. The hosts were hands down amazing and very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The house was adorable and had not only had room for everyone but the layout was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to camp out for the final days of our vacation. "

"As we arrived and entered the house, I was impressed with the cleanliness. The layout is wonderful for a group of people. Theres plenty of room for 13 of us to walk around inside the house without each other. The pool area is amazing. There’s a full bathroom in pool area and kitchenette. I messaged the manager a few times for some essentials and they were quickly provided to us. This is a great location because it is not near the tourist area, but easily accessed if we wanted to go there. There are beaches across the street to choose from which made this location perfect for us. I highly recommend renting this home."

"Fantastic place! Great views and quiet area, highly recommend!"

"Beautiful two bedroom unit in a residential neighborhood. The hostess Maria and staff were very friendly"

"This property sits directly in front of one of the best snorkeling spots on the whole island (Mangel Halto Beach). Accommodations were clean and the set up was very secure. The rate is incredibly low, which equates to not very much in the name of amenities, there is no hot water, & communication is limited but OK. Best value on the island. Who needs hot water when you’re in paradise?"

"A very unique experience. It met my expectations. Owner was very accommodating. Need a car, but then everything is very close. Nice pool, nice private outside areas as well as common areas. Extremely affordable. Keep in mind , I stayed in the Gypsy wagon Queenie for 2 weeks, it’s small but it has what you need. They also have an outdoor kitchen area where we occasionally cooked our own breakfast. Owner gave us a dozen eggs . I look forward to going back again "

"We loved the home and being right on the beach was such a nice experience. The property manager Ton was very helpful and accommodating, we loved having the 10 person van available, we used it everyday. it was easy to drive and maneuver. I personally liked not being surrounded by hotels and resorts. I liked the quieter residential area. By staying here you get a closer look at Aruban life which I appreciate. Locals are all friendly. Enjoyed the reef in our backyard and seeing the local wildlife; iguanas, pelicans, small lizards and birds. Some of our group did some snorkeling right there and really enjoyed seeing all the many species of fish. Currently the home next door is being renovated there was a few days of unpleasant noise, thank goodness it di not continue all week. "

"great staff, property very close to beach, great views "

"Ingrid was a wonderful host! She was very helpful in answering all my questions and was very friendly and warm. Her breakfasts were varied and delicious! Plus the room I stayed in was very comfortable and clean. It had a fan and AC which made the stay very comfortable. Her place was also located next to Arikok national park, which was very convenient. I highly recommend Ingrid’s place for a stay in Aruba!"
