IMPORTANT NOTES:
Upon arrival, there is a cash cleaning fee of $280 USD for the cleaning after your stay. This is not charged through VRBO because your rental payment goes to the homeowners' bank account in America. The cleaning gets done by a local company in Aruba, so it is more efficient to have the cleaning paid out on location.

We highly recommend you take out travel insurance as soon as you book your trip as this provides you with immediate cover for unforeseen emergencies. Travel insurance helps cover financial losses associated with surprise circumstances that could ruin a trip, including illness, injury, accidents, flight or other transportation delays, and other issues. Please understand that if you do not have travel insurance, any losses because of emergencies will be at your own risk and we uphold our VRBO cancellation policy and only refund according to this policy.

Your water and electricity is INCLUDED in your rental.
However, we do take meter readings and ask our guests to be energy concious and report running toilets, turn off AC when the rooms are not in use.

Fabulous Time
We had a great stay at Carpe Diem. The house was in a great location close to restaurants and wonderful beaches. While we didn’t use the pool much, choosing to enjoy all Aruba has to offer, we enjoyed eating and playing games in the outdoor seating area at night. The house was well stocked and we had zero issues while staying there. We would definitely stay here again.

Tropical Paradise
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Carpe Diem in Aruba. Our family was impressed by the property, the house, and the outdoor pool area. The owner provided us with a very detailed book that gave recommendations about local restaurants, tours to book, and stores to shop in. We were very comfortable in this house and had the best time in Aruba!

Paradise in Paradise
We had an amazing stay! Everything about the house was absolutely perfect. We received a ton of helpful information about the house and Aruba from the owners before we even left. Check in was easy - Daniel the property manager was prompt and attentive and incredibly helpful. He sat with us at check in and gave lots of local recommendations for food and activities that all were spot on! The house was spotless, well appointed and everything worked. Location is perfect and Ting Wei - the local grocery had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great vacation!!
