Panoramic Oceanfront Luxury Suite at Sand Dollar Dive Resort

Chosen by our guests as the best 2 bedroom oceanfront apartment in Bonaire. Everyone agrees it is:
- "Breathtaking with 270 degree ocean views"
- "Peaceful"
- "Spacious"
- "Luxurious"

The Blue Zone is for nature lovers. The reef (called Bari reef) is only 16 feet away from our living room and you can get into the water to snorkel, swim or dive right in front with easy to use stairs.

Our high-end loft-style 2000 square-foot apartment has immense living spaces. Modern open-concept living means you can enjoy Bonaire's soothing winds and views from every corner of the apartment. The apartment is breezy and mosquito free.

Bedrooms have air conditioning. The living areas (kitchen, living room, dining room) do not have air conditioning - they have large ceiling fans and huge sliding windows which are open all day long.

The road is far away from the apartment so it is quiet and you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the sea. We are the ENTIRE middle floor of the building so privacy is top.

Very convenient, we are just a 10 minute walk to the hustle-bustle restaurants and shops of downtown Kralendijk.

Full time night time security guards patrol the premises so you are safe.

The resort facilities include:
- swimming pool with pool-side bar/restaurantt
- outdoor grill and dining facilities
- oceanfront platform with recliners for sunning
- outdoor showers and washrooms
- two tennis courts
- shore diving and snorkeling in front

5 star PADI dive shops within walking distance are Bonaire Dive Friends, Wannadive and Buddy Dive.
Also within 5 minutes walk, there are many fine restaurants and a world class gym.

Absolutely Perfect
What a perfect location.....right on the water. We snorkeled right from the property everyday, sometimes twice a day. Delightfully pleasant unit with every convenience we could have asked. The owners and their property caretaker were very easy to work with. We had no problems at all and are looking forward to staying here again next year! BTW, several good restaurants are within walking distance.

First Trip to Bonaire
The "Blue Zone" was the perfect base of operations for our stay in Bonaire. The condo was clean, spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything that we needed to ensure that we had the perfect stay. The proximity to the sea cannot be beat and inspired my wife and I to try scuba diving for the first time. If we are lucky, we will return ...

Wonderful Place to Stay
We stayed in this unit for a week and really enjoyed it. The place was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything thing you could need and it is a large unit. Every window you look out there f you see the water. The breeze coming through the screened windows is amazing and keeps the place nice and cool even during the hottest times of the day. We never needed the air conditioning in the bedroom. You are just steps away from swimming in the ocean. Lots of fish right in front of unit and very easy snorkeling. We have stayed in many rentals all over the world and this one ranks very high on the list. All the rooms are filled with beautiful art work created by the owners. Short drive into town and restaurants. We never used the pool. Highly recommend!

Great location!
This is a beautiful, comfortable, well thought out rental that includes a very detailed book describing how things work, suggestions for restaurants, massage, snorkeling sites etc. Snorkeling in front of the condo was a treat for a quick afternoon or morning dip, or for an extended swim. Both the owner & local caretaker were very responsive. We stayed for 2 weeks, this is a great rental & we would not hesitate to return. Thanks so much. Michelle (Feb. 2023)

BEST Bonaire Vaca Ever!!
Catherine’s condo is absolutely fantastic - location, location, location! One of our fav dive spots is right outside the condo, ease of walking to Dive Friends pier for boat diving/gear storage, makes it ideal. Then quiet evenings enjoying fantastic trade winds, ocean views and simply gorgeous artwork makes this the dream vaca! Condo is a home, every convienence +, oustanding in every respect. ❤️💕 our time and can’t wait to come back!! Thanks Catherine for sharing your wonderful home!!

Blue Zone @ Sand Dollar is amazing. This is the second time I have stayed at this property. I am so lucky it was available. The dedicated dive locker and cart was a luxury we used every day. No need to hang gear all over the place to dry. This 2 bedroom unit is very large with tons of seating areas. Being on the Second Floor, I always felt safe. The condo is beautifully decorated with photos and art created by the owners. Blue Zone has everything you need for an amazing vacation. I can't wait to return!

This condo is absolutely lovely, we really enjoyed our stay. This was not our first time staying in Sand Dollar, but this was definitely the nicest property we've stayed in. Spacious, clean, very convenient for diving, so many convenient little things - power strips, a drying rack, well-stocked kitchen, even grocery bags. We would definitely book again!

A beautiful property in a prime location
We loved our stay at the Blue Zone and will definitely try to stay there again on our next trip to Bonaire. The apartment is large, well-equipped, and just steps from the ocean and the Dive Friends shop and dock. There is convenient parking outside the door and we appreciated the night security guard who patrolled the property. It is also in close proximity to a handful of nice restaurants. Catherine, the owner, answered all of our questions promptly leading up to the trip and her property manager was helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I do think it's important for travelers to know that, though the bedrooms in the apartment have air conditioning, the rest of the apartment does not. Overall, I highly recommend the Blue Zone as a wonderful place to stay while vacationing in Bonaire.

The Blue Zone is the place to be!
Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Blue Zone, we couldn't ask to be closer to the water. The view was incredible and we loved the location. This was our first time to Bonaire and we loved the shore diving. Dive friends is within walking distance and we loved having the opportunity to dive when we wanted to. When we weren't diving we enjoyed swimming out in front of the unit, feeding the iguanas, and looking for parrots. The blue zone is decorated with beautiful photos and paintings and I can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else.

Awesome time at Blue Zone
We didn’t want to leave. The Blue Zone was perfect for our family of three. The accommodations are exactly as advertised and Catherine was spot on with her communication and suggestions. The home is beautiful, great location, set up well for divers and the A/C in the bedrooms works great. The views are amazing and you will be making a great decision by staying at the Blue Zone. The ambiance with the art work by the hosts made it a special feeling. Thanks for the little things that a lot of hosts don’t provide. Spices, cooking oil, soap, etc…we left a few things to add to future use as well. It was perfect. Thanks Catherine!!!

Bonaire diving/snorkeling vacation in late May
We spent a wonderful week at the Blue Zone apartment with its amazing views of the ocean and the mountains. The house is nicely furnished and we enjoyed the artwork on the walls. My husband and daughter had some great night dives at the house reef and they were frequently joined by some friendly Tarpon fish. The kitchen had most everything we needed to prepare simple meals at home, so we preferred that to dining out, and we were very happy with the food selection at Van Den Tweel supermarket. The Sand Dollar community is gated and requires an electronic key fob, which is nice for security but a little inconvenient when diving/snorkeling, so we chose to buy a small dry box and carry it with us into the ocean (I wear an O'Neil hooded swim shirt with a zippered back pocket). We would stay here again because the home is so comfortable and convenient for diving.

A rare find…a very special home
F22 is much more than an amazing condo with spectacular views. The minute you step into the Blue Zone you have entered a unique home. A home that reflects the owner’s love for the ocean through their personal artwork and books. It is amazing to wander through the condo and find interesting surprises. We feel very fortunate to have been able to call the Blue Zone home for two weeks. Catherine provided a very comprehensive detailed guide for how everything works to recommendations for everything Bonaire. The condo location provides easy access to the ocean for diving and snorkeling. A convenient soak tank and dive locker are provided. A dedicated parking area was much appreciated as Bonaire vehicle numbers have dramatically increased. Thank you to Catherine and Dominique for sharing their special place!

Fantastic apartment on the water
We stayed at the Blue Zone apartment for two weeks and it was terrific. It’s location at the Sand dollar resort is ideal with terrific swimming, snorkeling and diving right at your doorstep. We took a walk into town early each morning and then went for an early swim. The apartment is huge, well laid out and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and handy to use. We traveled to the northern and southern sections to the island for snorkeling And hired a boat to go out the Klein Bonaire three times. The apartment is fully screened which allows you to take advantage of the constant breeze and there really was no need to even turn on the air conditioning. We loved our stay there.

Catherine's home is in the perfect location with snorkeling and diving right in front, great restaurants within walking distance (but you don't need them with the incredible kitchen in the apartment) and friendly people in the surrounding apartments. We stayed in 4 different places in Bonaire and this was by far the best. We are already making plans to return.

It’s also the perfect spot to catch stunning sunsets! We are also divers, so we found the private locker very useful!!!

We have just come back from the most fantastic week here. The condo was truly amazing and had absolutely everything we needed. It was perfect, from the location to the decor to the amenities. It was very hot so we really appreciated having AC in the bedrooms at night. My sons did the open water PADI certification just a few minutes away from the apartment, and loved every minute. The snorkeling was also phenomenal and the water crystal clear. We also went windsurfing at Lac Bay and deep sea fishing, so plenty to do on the island. We were able to walk to various restaurants, our favorite one being 'Ingredients', the food was outstanding! And if you want to go into town it is only a few minutes drive. I highly recommend a vacation on this paradise island, you will not be disappointed! We can't wait to go back!

I always felt safe since a friendly security guard walks the property throughout the night. Great central location on Bonaire. We walked to numerous restaurants.

The Blue Zone has a Wow factor
This is a lovely condo right on the water at the Sand Dollar property. There are clearly upgrades to this unit compared to other units on the grounds that we walked by. The art and appointments are upscale. The lay out of the unit is awesome. The kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils, pots, pans, etc. We enjoyed the needed air conditioning in the bedrooms at night. Early September is dry and hot on Bonaire and the dust was ever present despite our daily sweeping and dusting off the furniture fabric. A vacuum and mop would have been useful. The on site rinse tank and equipment closet was very convenient for our dive gear. The beachy-blue decor with original sea-life paintings and stunning photography lives up to its name "the blue zone".
