Secure And Private Villa With Pool/Hot Tub Jacuzzi In Palm Beach Village

This 5 bedroom, 4 bath villa is very private and secured, fenced off by 12 feet high foliage and remote-controlled motorized gated garage which easily accommodates up to 4 full-sized cars. This villa easily sleeps 10 persons, including 2 hard-to-choose from master suits fit for a honeymoon. The fully equipped kitchen includes the most common seasoning and sauces, an oversized coffee maker with starter coffee- and tea packages, microwave, dishwasher, and full laundry with dryer. Separate breakfast and elegant formal dining areas. Complimentary villa-wide wifi and cable tv. Complimentary (local) telephone calls with villa-wide intercom service. Daily maid service is included for that hotel-like feeling. In-Home Chef cooking is available.

Elegant living room with a Smart TV with HDMI and USB jacks and complimentary Apple TV. Fenced-off kids-friendly outdoor pool with overflow hot-tub Jacuzzi. Down-stairs two-bedroom close-able suite with large indoor Jacuzzi, ideal for a family with kids needing parenting, having 1 king-size bed bedroom and the other with 2 full-sized beds. Upstairs Master suite equipped with king-size bed, a TV, walk-in closet and bath with rainfall shower and in-bath sitting, private balcony with amazing resort views. Poolside 2nd master suite also with a king-size bed, private bath, kitchenette with microwave and TV. Additional (5th) suite with two full-size beds, private bath, kitchenette, and optional pull-out king-size sofa. Cozy loft sitting area. Front porch sitting area. Poolside area with romantic love seats, cozy poolside lounge chair corner, and a comfy gazebo featuring a 9-piece wicker sofa set and ambient electric blue lightning, complete with Bluetooth speakers. Backyard or poolside bbq (both gas and coal provided) areas. The villa is fully air-conditioned and fanned and has hot and cold water running throughout. Lockable storage in and outdoors. Safe-vault on-site for your valuables.

Although it states that the villa easily accommodates 10 persons. Prices are very competitive and are based on an occupancy of 10 adults. There is a surcharge for every adult over 12, children between the ages of 3 and 15 count as half an adult while babies under the age of 2 are free of any surcharge.

Fully air-conditioned, there is plenty of room around the villa for pull-out sofa's (provided at a surcharge). For smaller parties, the villa can also be rented in her 3 (main house only) or 4 bedroom version at even better pricing, so do inquire about that if your group is small. We never rent the spare suites independently, so you still keep your privacy when renting a smaller version of the villa.

The beach itself, the Palm Beach with its (South Beach) entertainment areas, is a safe 5min walk away featuring sizzling nightlife, bars, casinos, restaurants, cinemas, shopping malls, and high-end, high rise hotels with an abundance of beach activities. And, because all beaches in Aruba are public, one can set up camp on any beach, even in front of the Hyatt, Marriott, or the Ritz Carlton (beach chairs, towels, and coolers provided in the villa). Palm Beach, arguably one of the finest beaches in the world, has no beachside rental properties apart from the marquis hotels. Renting a villa in Palm Beach Village, just across the road to the beach and the touristic center of Aruba, is, therefore, your best alternative.

Having 5-star amenities, the Palm Beach Fortress is smack in the middle of it at a fraction of the price of the marquis hotels in front of her. Grocery- and liquor stores are just around the corner including most fast food franchises like McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC, and Domino's Pizza. It is close to everything and you will be hard-pressed to find a better location.

Palm Beach is arguably one of the best beaches in the world because it has no catch. Just crystal clear warm seawater and snow-white beaches. The best part is the safety: you can fall asleep for hours and still wake up to find your wallet or camera just where you left them.

The villa is associated with Aruba's premier wedding planner, so why not have a wedding here. Aruba's most famous Dive Master is also associated with the villa so you can plan some nifty dives or even get your internationally acknowledged PADI dive certificate in 5 days.

The owner, Dr. Riley, has lived in this villa for years and is a member at the prestigious Tierra del Sol 18-hole Robert Trent Jones designed championship golf course and can arrange hard-to-get T-times at member-guest prices. Many touristic outlets are close to the villa. Off-road quad trips, bicycle rentals, beach activities like catamaran sailing, deep-sea fishing, or simply some fun beach tennis.

Many prefer renting a villa like the Palm Beach Fortress over an expensive hotel because a hotel does not have the privacy a villa offers and is fivefold the price. And you keep the cool amenities and a lot more money in your pocket to do what you really came for; enjoying the island feeling, the beach and Aruba's year-round sunny weather (it rarely rains in Aruba and if it does, you don't have to get wet) cooled by the ever-present Passat winds. Aruba is one of the premier destinations in the Caribbean because of its high standard of living, stable political climate (Dutch ruled), very safe, of course, the sun, and worldwide renowned beaches but primarily by its utterly friendly and always ready to help people, most of which speak 4 languages fluently, including English and Spanish.

So if you're planning a visit to Aruba, whether it's a short winter break or having a wedding, summer vacation, or a golf trip with friends, don't hesitate to contact us. We are always ready to make your trip a memorable one.

The property management of this villa is since November 2021 under the care of Comfort Rentals Aruba, an affiliate of Prestige Vacations Aruba. Come and enjoy a vacation you deserve and create some wonderful memories, the Comfort Rentals Aruba team looks forward to welcoming you!

Awesome home in Aruba
We had an amazing vacation. This house was perfect in all it's amenities and space for our family of 8. Loved the table on the front porch, having a private pool was great and it felt like home. Dr. Riley was an awesome host and very helpful with a medical issue for my brother soon after we arrived. We will be back!!

The Fortress was very spacious & a very private setting/yard! 10- minute walk to the beach & restaurant/bars/shopping The property is a little old & we experienced several system breakdowns TV, Internet, sewage smells etc… the owner, Mgmt contact, maintenance were very responsive & for the most part fixed things in a timely manner! We would stay there again, we just booked it wrong as we all stayed different l Number of days… so cost us more…but that’s on us! Thanks John L

Great for big group. On the best part of the island.
We chose this property because we had 11 adults and 1 baby and wanted everyone to have a bed. We had a terrific week. We spent a bunch of time outside in the multiple seating areas around the pool. The owners are friendly, responsive, and helpful. I was a little nervous because the property allows smoking outside and a couple in my party are highly sensitive to those smells. There was no hint of a smoke smells anywhere. Thanks for letting us use your house for a terrific and memorable week in a beautiful place.

A great house!
We rented this house for vacation (there were 7 of us, ages 14 to 52). In surveying our family, they said that this was the best family vacation that we have ever taken. The location is great. We could walk to get to the beach or lounge by the pool. The pool was great and was bigger than we expected. Anything that you could want to do is a short walk from the home--restaurants, bars, water sports, etc. The grocery store was even just a few blocks away. The rooms were spacious and clean. We were also able to use the two "apartments" to give everyone plenty of space. Every morning I made coffee in our room and walked out onto the beautiful balcony to read a book! The owner stopped in, to check on us and was hospitable and gracious. We highly recommend the house.

The best house for big families
It has been a week since we left Aruba but still miss the island and especially the house. From the booking time I had e great experience with Mr. Riley. He replies back on time with all information I asked for and some times also extra he thought could help out. Our group was consisting of 8 adults and 3 children between the ages of 5 and 55. The children loved the pool and we as teenagers spend alot of time in the tub. The house features were perfect for every age and it's really romantic at night for couples. The location of the house was perfect! Close to the well known high rise area. Restaurants, night club, beaches and shoping mall were blocks away. The neighborhood is so quit that within hours you will feel at home. I definitely recommend the house for every big family and it doesn't matter what type of person you are the features of the house will fit to anyone.

A Home Away from Home
Aruba Fortress is located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. But, so close to Palm Beach, High Rise Hotels, & Palm Beach Mall. When we arrived Helen who is so helpful & sweet showed us around the lovely house. Had a fruit basket waiting for us in the fridge, also some bottled water, juice & supplies formour first mornings breakfast. Even thenowner stopped by one morning to check on us to make sure we had everything that we needed. There are 2 air conditioned bedrooms on the main floor, one with an aquatic theme. A spacious bathroom with a large jacuzzi tub. The second floor has a sitting area in the loft outside of the air conditioned Master Suite which is larger than most hotel rooms. Extra large walk in closet, Master bath & a sofa to relax on. There is a roomy balcony off the master suite with a table &'chairs to seat 6 comfortably. The balcony overlooks the pool & jacuzzi which is enclosed & very private. There are also a set of stairs that lead from the balcony to the pool area. There are shaded lounge chairs, comfy seating with a large umbrella to relax when you need a break from the bright Aruba sun. The patio off the living room has comfortable seating with a charcoal grill & they even supplied us with a new bag of charcoal & lighter fluid. The living room has a 2 story cathedral ceiling, & a crescent shaped sofa to enjoy the flat screen tv from. The house also has wifi throughout. We were so comfortable & relaxed there it was just like being in our own home. There is a wooden Dinng room table with seating for at least 6. The kitchen is equipped with full size fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, & washer & dryer. Dishes, pots, pans, silverware, etc are also supplied. Recently heard from the owner that there are making some new changes & upgrades to the house, so check back for the new pics. Can't wait to go back!!

Fantastic Vacation Home in Aruba!
The home was as described. We had 9 people and plenty of beds and baths to make the entire vacation pleasant. The daily maid service was included, and was a nice change of pace from a typical rental home, allowing us to enjoy our trip without a lot of cleanups from meals, baths, etc. The swimming pool and hottub were fantastic and saw much use after the hot sightseeing and beach weather! All appliances worked well, and the washer/dryer were very handy and allowed us to pack lightly. Internet worked pretty well, and was only down due to the outside cable company's issues, and then only a few times. The house was situated only a 5 minute walk to Palm Beach shopping and beaches, Moomba Beach, and the many varied watersports companies. It came with a large cooler and beach chairs, towels, etc. that made our frequent trips to the beach much easier and enjoyable. Dr. Riley also arranged rental cars for us, which I would highly suggest as they are priced under the typical price for them in Aruba at the airport. Taking taxis with 9 people and their luggage was definitely the way to go, as the cars there are small and couldn't handle the luggage and the people without multiple trips to the airport. The cars he provided were ready and waiting for us in the closed garage at the house. There were only a few problems that Dr. Riley resolved nearly instantly after we notified him of them. One AC unit went out completely, and he had a completely new unit installed and made functional while we were out at the beach. Other issues were minor and were taken care of immediately by Dr. Riley. He was very easy going and ultraresponsive to our needs. Overall, I would highly recommend this home for larger groups or families, including those with small children. The price, car provisioning, and the quick and courteous service provided by Dr. Riley and Helen to any issues we found make this a property I will rent again on our next trip to Aruba! Danki Dr. Riley and Helen! John Grills

A disappointing week
There were nothing but problems from the first day. The property manager sent a representative to meet our first person. She showed a few things about the property, but there were no written instructions. The grill was filthy, and didn’t work till the third day when someone came to fix it. Some of the hot and cold faucets were backwards - so we thought two of the rooms didn’t have hot water. The propane ran out, and the spa wasn’t working till the sixth night. The wifi and tv didn’t work in the two backyard bedrooms for the first few days. We couldn’t figure out how to work the stove. The AC in the dining room didn’t work at all. With the living room AC down the dining room was bearable, but the living room was too cold for anyone to use it. The AC didn’t reach the kitchen at all. We couldn’t reach the property manager by phone. He told us there was no one to contact after 6PM. I had to send messages through VRBO to get help. Each time someone answered me promptly, but they had major problems fixing all the issues, and sometimes didn’t send anyone till the end of the day. Two or three nights there was a worker at the house till 9PM. The workers would say we’ll be back at 8:30 tomorrow - then not show up till after six, or the next day. All the beds, except the two twins in the small main floor bedroom, were way too firm and uncomfortable. The outside furniture is shabby, broken pieces sticking out. One dining room chair isn’t stable, almost collapsing when someone sat in it. Much of the inside furniture is beat up and broken. The worst was on the 4th (or was it 5th?) day when it poured for hours. We woke up to leaks all over the dining room, kitchen and laundry room. The first person up that morning slipped on the wet tile floors - luckily she was able to grab onto something and keep herself from falling. VRBO told us to vacate the property and find new lodging. But they said we had to use Expedia, and we had to keep costs close to what we spent on this house if we wanted to be reimbursed. It was impossible to find anything comparable, and at that point most of our complaints had been addressed. We decided to stay, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and it seemed we’d be better off just staying. The owner gave us a 25% refund. This didn’t come close to covering the time we lost - but we were so tired of the whole thing we said ok. The property needs to be cleaned, better maintained, and clear instructions provided.

This house was the prefect for our large family. We had 10 people and had plenty of bedrooms and beds. Quick walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping and the beach bar for daily happy hour. Had a few minor hiccups that the property managers handled ASAP. Cannot say enough good things about them. The pool was awesome and great time hanging in there in the afternoons.

traveler BEWARE: owner is shady , rent at your own risk
property is so so. cold water showers, broken toilet seat in downstairs master suite, pool/hot tub tile is scaled and dirty. cockroaches in upstairs master suite and outside apartment has a small pest infestation. cannot leave drinking glasses on counters as they become full of little bugs.. thats the property review. THE real issue is the shady owner. prior to coming to aruba, one of the couples could not make the trip due to the covid 19 pandemic, we spoke to the owner before arriving and he promised to refund their portion of the rental, no questions asked due to the circumstances. the other 3 couples did make the trip to aruba and his villa. as the outbreak became full blown, we were advised to leave early before the airport shut down. we spoke to the owner in person and followed up with facebook messenger messages where the owner , promised to refund a portion of our rental for the 3 nights we did not stay. i saved the messages, and can share if you would like to see them. once we returned to the states, i contacted the owner a week after to inquire the status of the refund. he commented he was so busy with this pandemic he hasn't had time, and that vrbo did not disperse the money to his account yet so he "can't refund what he hasn't received yet". three weeks later i contacted him again and he now states it is not his responsibility to refund anything, its vrbo's responsibility to refund the FULL portion. i have spoken to vrbo multiple times, they (VRBO) have refunded the "service fee" , they have dispersed the money into the owners account and it is expected that (the owner) refund the partial portion of the unused rental costs. THIS IS VRBO'S POLICY FROM THEIR WEBSITE: "Request a refund: We are strongly encouraging property owners and managers to issue at least a partial refund for situations in which a flexible credit can not be accommodated. Please contact the owner or property manager to discuss cancellation and refund options. Although they are not obligated to provide a refund beyond the terms of the rental agreement, those who do not offer flexibility are subject to penalties in our marketplace." The owner said "i will not be intimidated by their penalitie policy". Its a shame an owner with multiple rental properties takes advantage of hard working people who save up to take a vacation that ends with unforseen circumstances. i'm a firm believer in karma.

Aruba Family vacation
What a fabulous home!! We had plenty of room for 8 people to stay comfortably. The bedrooms were accommodating and the beds comfortable. The pool and hot tub met our needs, but why use them so much when the beach is so close. Palm Beach was an easy walk from the house. The shopping was close as well. I attended meetings at the Ritz Carlton, which was close as well. We met Helen on the first day! Wonderful lady and very helpful on guiding us in restaurant ideas and activities. The cooler, beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella were great additions! They made our beach outings much easier! We had an At Home Aruba chef prepare 2 dinners at the Fortress!! Wow!! How wonderful!! Would strongly recommend the Palm Beach Fortress to any with a large group. Thank Dr. Riley and Helen

Wonderful experience
This was a really good property. We were a group of 10 adults, enjoyed the separate sleeping quarters and the main house. Kitchen was nicely equipped, pool and jacuzzi were wonderful. Was a little tricky to locate and had taxi's circuling around numerous times but once we figured it out, was easy to get to. Definitely a great place for groups to enjoy the area! There were a few minor glitches but we worked around them and enjoyed our time there immensely! Highly recommend this Villa !

The outdoor area needs to be maintained. Pool area needs to be power washed and a lot of the pool tile re-grouted. The hot water heater for the house needs replacement ( insufficient hot water for morning showers) overall review is that it has been neglected and needs some maintenance on a regular basis.

We really loved this properly. We felt as if we had our own oasis and privacy was of zero concern. The maid was really really nice as well.
