About this property

Breathtaking view of the Caribbean Ocean w/ sea, snorkling & diving mere ft away

Ideal for independent travelers who want to get away from the crowds yet be right at the water's edge, our 2-story oceanfront townhome is nestled among lush tropical plants and swaying palm trees, cooled by steady breezes -- minutes from Curacao's five most beautiful beaches. Swim, snorkel and dive some of the world's most vibrant sites, including our famed local 'Alice in Wonderland' reef. Mountain bike, hike Mt. Christoffel, or relax by the pool in sunny 88° temps. Everything inside is designed for your comfort, from the fully equipped kitchen and open-plan living space with queen-size couch that pulls out to a bed for extra guests, to the second story king-size bed and spacious balcony with glorious views from sunrise to sunset. Pluses include flat-screen cable TV, & wireless internet, linens & towels, screened windows & doors, hot-water showers in both baths, air conditioners & ceiling fans up and down, computer table, wood balcony dining table, tiled serving cart, etc. Two dive shops & 5 restaurants nearby.

Things to Do in Wespunt and Nearby: There's lots to enjoy at our rural west end of the island -- diving, snorkeling, swimming, mountain biking, hiking, etc. Westpunt alone features six great eateries, from the famous Lodge Kura Hulanda and Sunshine's Sol Food where you'll find the island's best pizza, to the newest restaurant in town, Landhuis Misje. Just down the road, nature lovers will thrill to the 'roller-coaster' drive through Mt. Christoffel Park, home of Curacao's highest peak. There you'll enjoy sweeping panoramic views, prehistoric cave paintings, the ruins of an old colonial plantation houses, and lush bromeliads and rarely seen orchids -- if you time your visit right! Keep your eyes out for the island's fascinating wildlife, whether it be iguanas lounging in the sun, warawara falcons soaring overhead, or chattering green and yellow parakeets darting playfully through the trees. It's not uncommon to see a goat comically standing on its hind legs in quest of a tempting morsel high overhead.

Further Afield on the Island: Beyond Westpunt, the hilly landscape reminds one of the American West with its towering cacti, iguanas and arid climate. When not beach-hopping among 38 different beaches, playing golf, windsurfing or sailing, you can explore 18th century plantation Landhuises featuring historic museums, fine restaurants, even the internationally renowned Chobo Lobo distillery, producer of the only authentic Blue Curacao Liqueur. Other attractions include the oldest Synagogue in the New World, ostrich and aloe farms, a flamingo park, a stamp museum and an aquarium. And you won't want to miss the colorful Dutch Colonial capital Willemstad -- a UNESCO historic site -- for world class shopping and island crafts, dining at an international array of restaurants and bars, or tempting Lady Luck at a number of different casinos. Curacao has something for everyone!

Interesting Facts about Curacao: Curacao is simply fantastic! It's new to the tourist business and everyone goes out of the way to make you happy and in love with their home island they're so proud of. Very clean and safe, the capital city of Willemstad has undergone a renaissance, with new paving, shopping, more restaurants. A single walk over the Queen Emma pontoon bridge will amaze you. US and Canadian vacationers are just discovering an island that's been a Dutch favorite for eons. Though everyone speaks English and the dollar is accepted everywhere, there's a wonderful Continental vibe to the island that's intoxicating. Plus, Curacao is the most racially and culturally diverse nation in the world -- 56 nationalities among 160,000 residents! Discover all Curacao has to offer -- and we guarantee you, you'll return, again and again.
During your stay at this resort, you're just a quick walk from Forti Beach.

We loved the place. Perfect to walk out to the coral wall and look down at the fish, watch the birds, and hang with the iguanas. We made dinner there every night and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. For us, this is the point on the island to stay. There are plenty of little restaurants and things to explore and it is much quieter than Willemstad. It was great to enjoy a drink at cocktail hour under the gazebo or in the shade of the pool area. Exactly what we want in a vacation. We would happily return.

Perfect location
Arriving in a tropical storm in darkness we had to wait to see the location till the following morning. It is post card beautiful. Loved the direct access to the sea, BBQ, security, pool, proximity to 3 restaurants and the most beautiful beaches on the island. Some have mentioned that the decor and some furniture is a bit dated. But all appliances and showers worked well. Greg is a an attentive and unobtrusive host. We thought it reasonable value and would recommend.

The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment had everything we needed and the location was perfect for our needs. We were only steps away from snorkeling, which was great. The pool was refreshing with beautiful landscaping. The community was welcoming with neighbors interacting frequently, and the iguanas were fun to watch. We had a wonderful stay.

Exactly What We Wanted.
First off we’d like to thank Greg and Susan for allowing us to stay in their piece of paradise. Fabulous hosts with great recommendations, prompt and open communication throughout pre booking, booking and our trip. If you’re looking to get away from it all, snorkel in crystal clear blue waters with the best sunsets from your own ocean front balcony each and every single night, this is the place. As well as the snorkeling we also hiked nearby Mt Christoffel, which is a challenge in parts but sooo worth it. If you go, take lots of water. We didn’t eat out at all on this stay, but there are plenty of options. We had everything we needed in the fabulously equipped kitchen in the apartment to self cater. Open up the windows and doors while you’re downstairs and enjoy the cool natural breeze. We will return to Curaçao and when we do, we’re looking up Greg and Susan’s place straight away, highly recommend. Thanks loads folks.

An excellent choice for a dive vacation
Many thanks to Greg and Susan for sharing their lovely and very well equipped condo with us. We traveled with friends who stayed in the next unit, and had a wonderful vacation. 7B was perfect. We appreciated that the deck furnishings were actual furniture and not patio-plastic. We cooked in most nights, and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The lockbox needed a squirt of WD40 when we arrived, but Greg responded right away, and it was fixed in no time. Great to have such a responsive owner. Go West diving is a five minute drive (Playa Kalki), and with a shore diving package you're able to rinse and hang all gear there, then pick it up with tanks in the morning. Kortape, the house reef at Marazul, was excellent, like all the shore dive sites in Westpunt. It's a short walk from the unit to the south stairs leading to the water, with no beach entry to mess with. There's an area half way down the stairs with a bench if you'd prefer to kit up there. Lots of sea life along the wall for snorkelers. The pool area was quiet and looked inviting. Amazing sunsets from either the porch or deck. What a great place to stay! We hope to be back!

Just what we were looking for!
When looking for a trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary, my #1 qualification was to be at a place where we could snorkel right on the property. Marazul offered that and so much more! As the listing says, this location is for the independent traveler. A rental car is required and you have to be willing to create your own adventures. It's not a posh place where there are loads of restaurants and shops at your fingertips, but it was EXACTLY what we wanted! Each day we would get up early and go explore another beach. We were snorkeling (often by ourselves) before the sun got too hot. We snorkeled in 7 different locations and saw sea turtles at 5 of the 7 spots! We'd head home for a break midday and then would venture out to a different beach in the afternoon. In the evenings we would walk to the restaurant next door and get a drink overlooking Playa Forti. We ate at three local restaurants and cooked at home 3 nights. Reservations are required at Sol Food and I would recommend booking before you even get there because it fills up quickly and is only open on weekends. We did venture into Willemstad one day, but realized quickly that we were much happier in the remote, beautiful Westpunt Village instead. The accommodations at the townhouse were perfectly sufficient for our needs. We used the coffee maker and the storage containers for leftovers were a plus. We watched TV in the evenings and spent a lot of time on the upstairs terrace in the morning and in the evenings, watching the sunset. We brought our own snorkel gear (a must) and used the beach chairs and towels provided in the unit. Cindy and her sister and brother-in-law were helpful answering any questions. All in all, it was a perfect week!

Wonderful Westpunt
If you are looking for a great place to relax and get away from it all, this is it! We had a wonderful stay at Marazul Dive Resort. The unit was clean and very comfortable for our 7 night stay. It was perfect for two people, or maybe three; I think it would be a little too cozy for four adults. We cooked several of our meals there and found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed. There was not a lot of breeze blowing during our time so we ended up having to use the A/C more than we would have liked. However the unit does cool down very nicely, and when the breeze does blow it's perfect with the windows open. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the unit is amazing and you will want to catch the sunset every night from the balcony or other vantage point around the property. The resort is laid out nicely with a lovely pool and two water accesses for snorkeling and diving. We met several people around the property who have been coming back to Marazul year after year; that says a lot for the experience. It is an easy walk to Playa Forti and Playa Grandi, as well as a couple of restaurants (Blue View, Playa Forti Restaurant) and a short drive to a few others. Traffic around Willemstad can be quite challenging so it was nice being up in Westpunt - no traffic there! We hiked from the unit to Watamula (fantastic coastal hike) and also drove to and hiked Shete Boka and Christoffel Mountain; highly recommend all three! Don't miss dinner at Sol Food and Landhuis Misje also, they were both great. We also took a snorkel trip to Klien Curacao (Breeze Boat Trips) and highly recommend that as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay! I don't know if we will return to your beautiful island but if we do I would stay here again without hestitation.

Ideal vacation spot!
This is an ideal primely located gated resort, with multiple duplexes and direct view and access to the water through a cliff reef. It is within 5 minute driving distance from many if not all of the most beautiful beaches. Cindy is extremely responsive and takes great care to ensure her customers enjoy their stay. Ideal if you’re looking to snorkel and dive. There was a few ants crawling on the kitchen counters, but our understanding is that is all over the island - and as soon as we told Cindy, she had the property manager spray the next day. This location can not be beat, it was everything we were looking for - highly recommend. Thanks Cindy!

WOW Cindy, Condo 7B Delivered . We Love CURACAO
Marzuel Dive Resort Unit 7B “ Cindy Woods” April 17-26-2019. we stayed for 9 night’s 10 days. Beautiful area, gated community, and safe. Once you enter the condo you see the Beautiful See. Once you open the slider you will hear the ocean, and you will feel the ocean breezes. Beautiful open concept. Loved the decor, “ Pop Of Color” blue tile floors, blue accent walls, wall decor was colorful, loved the iguanas on the wall, the mosaic fish coffee table is so cute and fun,and lovely art work. The views were amazing! Water pressure in the shower was superb. Very hot water!. Efficient kitchen, the water tastes so good! Electric stove. two small burners, and two large burners, easy to clean, cooked everything to perfection. I loved the back splash, the white tiles pop. The fridge and freezer is normal size. . Well equity kitchen. I specially enjoyed the pots N pans, even heat and clean up was a breeze. plenty of room for two people. Blender, toaster, 12 Cup coffee pot, microwave, new toaster oven. The island plenty of room to prep, serve buffet style, plus two bar stools. Plenty of seating, sleeper sofa, wicker love seat, two wicker high back chairs, a round wicker table, perfect to set your beverage on. Beautiful location, the pool is 4 condos away, which is perfect not to close, and yet not to far away. The fan plus the cross breezes kept the down stairs very cool. We used the down stairs br to hang our dive gear.BCD, wet suits, masks, snorkels, booties, fins, dive bag, reg bag, bag to keep our log books, computers, compass, save a dive kit., etc.everything dried over night. Ample room to use the facilities. Loved the bright colors. We closed the up stairs bathroom, curtains to the slider, and the door to help keep it cool, keep the closet open. Plenty of room for two adults. Every unit has their own BBQ. Dinning out side either on the first or second floor. Enjoy the beautiful views, specially the sunsets. Every Day. From 7 AM to 5 pm the iguanas are on the wall. We loved feeding the iguanas fruit and vegetables,small pieces we had a delightful time. Pure entertainment. The weather in April was perfect. Not to Hot and not to cold. Entrance to the ocean. Stairs to the left toward the end of the condos is best. The up stairs closet has two Safes in this condo. We have a sleep number bed, we stay at resorts with sleep # beds. We were concerned, however. “The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well .” We
