Aruba fun times
Very nice property very good for younger people we find it a little harder to deal with the stairs. Needs to have a TV down stairs the step down into kitchen needs something to identify the tiles are the same color and is hard to remember. Need to furnish wash cloth in bathroom.otherwise very enjoyable.

Great place to see turtles!
We loved our stay. The cottage is 5 minute drive to the turtle Beach - tres trapi. It's cute and cozy, has a well equipped kitchen, and the owner Rudolfo and manager Omaira were very responsive. For example, Rudolfo installed an outside shower. Shower under the carribian stars. What more could you want? The inside shower could have a bit more pressure

Nice little place
This met our needs, we were just looking for a place to sleep as we had other family down there and spent most of our time with them. Air conditioning worked great, bed is comfortable, could use a little updating but overall it was a great vacation

Home away from home
Really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and central to everything. Rudolf was right, renting a car was crucial. The only thing we purchased was a bathmat for the slippery tiles in the bathroom. In total, it was perfect! Hope to stay here again really soon!! Thank you for making our first trip to Aruba glorious!!

Excellent - Great Location!
Very good communication prior to our trip. The villa is very nice, perfect for our needs. We spend most of our time outside, this was perfect for meals and sleeping. The front patio was nice and we used a little nylon line to hang cloths to dry after rinsing them in the sink. We are hoping to rent this again!!

Close to the best snorkeling on the island
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay. Snorkeling within walking distance was a huge plus, great location. Rudolf was very pleasant and accommodating. I recommend this property.

Cozy and Great Location
Suited our needs perfectly! Loved the coziness of the place and the location was ideal for our snorkeling, sunning, swimming needs. Had all of the necessary amenities, right amount of sleep and hang out space. Away from the high rises, tourist area and walking distance to great beaches. Owner was very responsive to our needs. We will be back!!!

Bad Experience!!!!
I want to begin by saying that I have always given our VRBO homes an excellent rating. Unfortunately, this one was the WORST vacation stay in lodging ever! So here goes... 1. Key pad did not work resulting in us being LOCKED out for over 45 minutes! Called the house manager at least 20 times only to find out that she disconnected her phone while keeping her grandkids. Thankfully, we were able to email the owner, Roudolf, on our phone and then he contacted her. ( We were also unable to leave for 30 minutes due to not being able to lock the door when leaving). 2. The manager promised to have a locksmith come and fix the lock the next day but that NEVER happened. We continued to have issues the entire stay at this home. 3. The safe box DID NOT LOCK which we also brought to the manager's attention. We were promised that it would be fixed as well but NEVER happened.This to say that we did not feel safe leaving our passports and money in this house! 4. The house is VERY run down with many eyesores especially in the bathroom and the patio area. Not sure who took the photos or when they were taken but TOTALLY misrepresented. 5. Hot water only up stairs in the bedroom- No cold water at all. 6. Cold water only in kitchen area- No hot water at all. Overall, BEWARE if you rent this home based on the photos or past reviews. We are not sure how this home received great scores.

Perfect little casita near Malmok beach
500 meters from great snorkeling and a short drive to the major hotels, shops, and restaurants, this is a perfectly secluded hideaway. The directions were simple and clear, with parking out front. The kitchen has everything you need including a cooler and chairs for a picnic at the beach.

Malmok stay in Aruba
A very neat, clean and quiet place out of the way but only a couple minute walk to the bus stop. It has everything anyone would need for a vacation stay. Owner/Manager are exceptional and made every effort to ensure that everything was in good order even checking mid-week of the stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay!
My husband and I stayed at Rudolf’s property for 4 nights in April for a family wedding. We had family who owned a house a couple blocks away and the location was very convenient for us. It was also walkable to the beach and a couple of restaurants. It was not walkable to the hotel strip but we did fine with taxis and ride-sharing. The unit itself was perfect for us. A small sitting area, dining are, and kitchen on the first floor and bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It was private and comfortable for our needs. Air conditioning and fans worked well and we were never hot. We had a bit of a hard time finding outlets near mirrors for wedding prep and the shower pressure was pretty bad and could use a new system, but those were only small inconveniences and we’re not picky travelers. Thank you, Rudolf! We are so glad that we chose this property for our trip and would happily recommend it to others and stay again if we ever come without our children again in the future.
