Great Location and Accommodations
We loved staying here and especially enjoyed proximity to snorkeling which was basically at our doorstep. The accommodations were excellent and included everything we needed. Our hostess Monique was super friendly and was always available while she was on the island. Best VRBO host ever! She made sure we had contact information for the property manager when she wasn't here. We also were really pleased with how close we were to town and restaurants, grocery shopping. It was a nice, quiet location which is our preference since we didn't want to be right in the middle of downtown. We rented a car during our stay and I'm really glad we did. It just made it easier to be very independent and not have to rely on any transportation even though many things like grocery and restaurants were in walking distance. Keep in mind there is only 1 bedroom on the first floor and 3 upstairs. This wasn't a problem for us but you should be aware if you have any mobility issues. The beds were very comfy and so were the lounge chairs outside for sunbathing. We loved the huge patio and location of the outdoor couches and lounge chairs. They were high-end lounge chairs which we appreciated since we spent hours sunbathing each day :). I highly recommend this place and would most definitely return!

Beautiful villa on Bonaire!
This beautiful villa was perfect for our scuba/snorkel vacation! The kitchen was well-stocked with every item we needed. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was ideal for the group. The outdoor space looking over the water had all sorts of tables/chairs for relaxing and eating, with a direct view of the sunset every night. Both the owner and property manager were quick to respond to needs/requests. The drinks/snacks stocked for our arrival were a fun discovery and a little taste of Bonaire. I would highly recommend this villa.

This property is currently undergoing renovations, and there were some issues related to that. However, the location was absolutely perfect for our group, and the outdoor spaces more than made up for any issues we had with the interior.

Great location
We enjoyed our family vacation in Monique's wonderful villa. The ocean front view and sunsets are incredible, and there are multiple dive centers within walking distance (Captain Dons and Dive Friends Bonaire). The property has been renovated and has all new appliances. The property managers Berry & Marion met us at the airport and were so nice and helpful. They helped us picking up our rental car and took us to the property and went over everything. They also met us at checkout to make sure everything was alright. Thank you.

Practically Perfect
My wife and two daughters (16, 10) were recently SCUBA certified, and I was excited to introduce them to the amazing underwater world around Bonaire. Pre trip communication was easy and fast with Monique, and she and Marion met us at the airport and took us directly to the property and left us with a bag of groceries-beer, wine, soda, bread, butter, chips, etc. The property is beautiful and exactly as pictured. The house is located in the corner of the Hamlet Oasis community, so its very private. Large air conditioned bedrooms and with comfy beds. A well stocked kitchen adjoins the living area (air conditioned), but the outdoor space is the best. The outdoor area is covered and steps from the ocean, with a large table that seats 6 easily, and plenty of comfy seating for relaxing. The location is amazing as well. It's a 25 meter walk to Capn Dons Habitat which has an amazing pool, Rum Runners restaurant, and two docks with steps into the ocean where you can start/finish dives. Great for night diving. The Cliff dive site is directly in front of the house. There is also a nice rinse station and an outdoor lockable room to hang/store wet dive gear. There are several dive companies/shops within a couple hundred meters of the house. Dive Friends (we used them this time-they were great), Buddy Dive, and Capn Dons. There is a supermrket a few hundred meters north of the house and Kralendijk central is a short drive south. You really can't go wrong with this property.

just the nicest place to stay!! beautiful and great location
the communications were completely great and we loved the house. we were even met at the airport to follow our host to the house - so welcoming! the place was big and spacious with covered outdoor dining and waterfront with chaise lounge chairs. Location between Capt Don's and the Divers Friends dive shops was so convenient. (There was loud construction from next door and some dust but definitely not the owners' fault and we were warned. Noise stopped by 4 pm daily)

I don't usually do reviews but the unit was great. Everything was as advertised. Even small things like the towels being good quality and having an ample supply. There were even clothes lines and clothes pins there. I would highly recommend the unit AND the management company. Paradise rentals was very easy to deal with and communications were answered very quickly. If this unit is not available for our next trip to Bonaire we will definitely use Paradise rentals to find something for us. Great folks. Very accommodating and very personable folks.

Great house for a dive trip destination
Great location! House layout is great (4 bedrooms) and the view is fantastic. Easy access to local services and of course, diving locations. We experienced the pre-tropical storm/hurricane version of Hurricane Ian, receiving a couple of inches of rain and 25-30 mph winds. There are no weatherstripping seals on the doors, so we did get a lot of water coming into the bedrooms, but it was an easy clean up. Door locks work but they are difficult to operate. Kitchenware (e.g., knives, pots) could use an upgrade. With that said, overall it was a great experience with minor complications. Really enjoyed our time here.

We were awed by the perfect location on the water, steps to two easy water access points, short stroll to town. Large covered deck where the 6 adults could stretch out or find private spots and dine together at the large table. Fantastic responsive service from our hosts.

Great spot
The view is outstanding, and the reef out front is spectacular. The property manager arranged for the refridgerator to be stocked on arrival. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioners work great. Joey the cat came by each day to keep us company - very sweet. The house needs some TLC, which limited our enjoyment. Patio door wouldn’t open on arrival; they fixed it next day. Drawers stuck. No wine opener. Odd collection of kitchen supplies. Lights were out in stairway and hall so had to rely on flashlight to go to bed at night. The gas to stove was turned off so we had to call to get instructions to turn it on. Hot water heater broke towards end of our stay. Shower gurgled when toilet flushed. All little things but got to be irritating. To be clear, there is no water entry out front. They recommend entry right next door at Captain Dons. It is quite easy, and I gather the resort doesn’t mind sharing their pier.

Stayed in Hamlet Oasis #2 (also called Ocean Blue) during early August, 2021. Weather was hot and mostly sunny during our week there even though hurricanes were impacting Florida and the US east coast at the same time.Hurricane season stays north of Bonaire, generally, and this year was no exception. We rented a truck from Poppy at Telerin Auto Rental and were able to park the truck right next to the front door of the unit. We had no issues of petty theft or disturbance of any kind during our visit and we left the truck open and windows down the entire time. The unit itself is in good condition. Each of the three upstairs bedrooms has an en suite bathroom. The lower level has a bedroom with separate sitting area (with a round dining table and four chairs) and the bathroom is in the hallway, open to the kitchen and living room. The bedroom and sitting area are separated by a curtain which blocked enough light for very comfortable sleeping. The downstairs bedroom also has an in-room safe large enough for a 17 inch laptop and other small items. It is a standard hotel room safe. The kitchen was well equipped with a standard size gas cooktop and oven and a newer full-sized refrigerator/freezer. The freezer had some ice packs in it which we used to keep water cold between dives. We cooked all our breakfasts and lunches in the unit and took out dinners from local restaurants since we were still in Covid times. The air conditioning units in each room worked great and kept us very comfortable. Each room has its own unit and a ceiling fan. Beds were clean and comfortable. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels were available and we used the wash machine midweek. Check the laundry room before buying soap - there was plenty there from earlier visitors. The WiFi was inadequate for heavy usage and we ended up using cellular hotspots for work. The WiFi functioned sporadically - this caused work related conferences to disconnect and reconnect. The WiFi was adequate for email and simple browsing. We did not turn on any TV or radio while in the unit, so nothing else to say there. Communications with the rental agency were superb and they answered all our questions very efficiently. We had no issues with the checkin or checkout process and the VRBO payment platform worked fine.

A location of the villa is very advantageous. In the neighbourhood are situaded diving bases and a lot of bars and restaurants. Even so, it is a relativelly quiet place. The villa is very good furnished and is large enough to give to everyone comfort. We spent beautiful days here and we recommend to everyone, especially divers, to also try it.
