Beachfront Two-Bedroom Villa

Right on the beach! Wake up to the sound of the sea and enjoy Aruba the way it was intended.

Step out of your bedroom right onto your very own patio on a white sandy beach, Savaneta's most romantic hide-away. This secure gated property is one of 39 homes in Aruba built right on the water (not across the street from the beach).

Our two-bedroom villa boasts a master bedroom with a king sized bed, and a second bedroom with twin xl (single) beds which can be put together for a super-king size bed. Cots can be provided upon request. The kitchen is perfect for light meal preparation. It has a full size refrigerator, a microwave oven, a toaster oven, a drip coffee machine, an electric stove, and of course, a blender for those spectacular sunset drinks. Our living room is perfect for taking a breezy break from the hot sun and our modern bathroom with large walk in shower with hot water.

★ Outdoor Patio and Beach:
- Covered patio living space
- Unique outdoor kitchen area with sink in a marble mosaic countertop, and charcoal Bar-B-Q
- Outdoor patio seating, including dining table and chairs

★ Kayaking - where your seaside adventure awaits!
Upon request, we provide complimentary kayaks, allowing you to launch directly from the backyard into the ocean. Paddle out from our backyard and immerse yourself in the breathtaking coastal scenery. Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or trying it for the first time, this unique amenity offers an unforgettable way to experience the ocean's beauty. Enjoy the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure at our beachfront retreat!

★ Scuba & Snorkeling:
Scuba diving is recommended right off our beach. Put on your tank and swim directly to a picturesque 100 foot drop-off reef teaming with colorful fish and a family of turtles. It is also one of the best snorkeling sites in the Caribbean. Experienced English speaking dive masters are a phone call away, available for private dives right off our beach or elsewhere on the island.

★ Fishing & Boating:
Fishing is available right off of the dock near our villa but if you want a real adventure, you can charter a small boat from the fishermen who dock by the restaurants down the street (Zeerover), or head to port to charter a fully-equipped deep sea fishing boat or even a beautiful sailboat to take you snorkeling around the island, catch the sunset, and enjoy the views.

★ Restaurants:
Two of Aruba's most exceptional restaurants are within walking distance along our stretch of beach. One is Zeerover, the local's fishing station serving the "catch of the day." It provides fresh seafood to the restaurants in Aruba, and serves the 'catch of the morning' for lunch or sunset-viewing in a truly local and down-to-Earth wharf setting. When feeling adventurous, there is an opportunity to charter a fishing excursion there as well. The other restaurant is the romantic Flying Fishbone where you can sit at a transporting white-tablecloth restaurateur and have a Michelin-worthy meal with your feet in the ocean. Also near by are the restaurants Arubaville, Barefoot and Marina Pirata which require a short drive. There are also quite a few delicious local restaurants in the neighborhood.

★ Groceries:
There is a local supermarket a 5 minute walk away and several others within short driving distance.

★ Remote work:
Work from the beach like a pro with wifi speeds north of 100mbps and a monitor, ergonomic chair, laptop stand, & surge protector available upon request.

Away form the crowds of hotel bustle, in a paradise garden right on the beach, among the chirping of birds and parrots, and in the constant rhythm of the surf. Share your lunch with hummingbirds in the garden or with pelicans on the beach.

Escape to Robinson Cruso's world!

The house is in the fishing village of Savaneta, ancient port city and old capital of Aruba. It is situated half way between Oranjestad and Baby beach, about a 7 minutes' drive from the airport.

The two bedroom villa itself and the patio that's directly in front of it on the beachfront. Don't forget the beach too!

I'm usually not on the Island, but when I am, I'm happy to help how I can. I love meeting interesting new people!

Enjoy breathtaking scenes of aqua blue ocean along this strip of the southern coast. Indulge in some of the best and most unique restaurants the island has to offer. Escape the Island's touristic nightlife for a more authentic local scene. Feel free to ask for detailed suggestions.

There are buses on the Island but we suggest our guests rent cars if they like to get around. There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants nearby.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here and hated having to leave! The property is well represented online and even better in person. The accommodations are well thought out and we really had everything we could possibly need. Communication from Dan was great and JJ was so nice and responsive! He was also so helpful when I left something behind and I am truly grateful for that! This quiet location right on the water is truly what vacation is about.

Amazing Property
We’ve stayed at the 2 bedroom unit with my wife and son for a week and absolutely enjoyed every aspect of this property. It’s not easy to find a property with a beachfront access. Aside from the beachfront access JJ (property manager) makes your stay truly special. Ive never met a nicer and more accommodating person, he goes above and beyond to make your stay special and hassle free.

Well appointed beachfront house
The house is right on the beach at Savaneta, between Oranjestad and San Nicolas. Facilities are very good - kitchen & appliances, TV, wi-fi, beach access with outdoor showers. Everything you would expect. The local service folks are extremely accessible, friendly and helpful.

Better than the resorts
We absolutely loved our stay here. My significant other and I decided to do half the trip at this house and half at the resorts- we wish we did the whole thing there! The property is wonderful, there is amazing food within walking distance, and it is QUIET. JJ does a wonderful job being making sure you have everything you need. He will also give amazing recommendations. Stay here, rent a car, and see everything on the island you can. You don’t need a resort-I promise!

Dan and JJ are the best!
The house was even nicer than than it looked online, and furnished with every convenience including snorkel masks. Beach is right out front. It’s a neighborhood-y neighborhood rather than a tourist place but there are convenient restaurants and stores within walking distance. If you rent a car, the whole island is accessible. Landlord Dan and property manager JJ are ideal hosts—accessible but not intrusive, and once we got to know them they took us out to snorkel the reef, which was a real treat. We would absolutely return!

Perfect Location
This waterfront property is located away from a tourist area. Returning to a quiet and serene cottage after a busy beach trip and sightseeing was great. We loved frolicking at our own beach and having dinner on the patio while watching the sunset. Dan and Fiarlogene are fantastic hosts, and we enjoyed our stay very much. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you!

Unique property actually on the ocean
One of the few island rentals truly on the ocean. Comfortable indoor with exceptional outdoor spaces. We could walk out the door and be snorkeling immediately. Colorful fish just off shore and reef a short swim away. Host was very friendly and helpful. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to Zeerovers. We can’t wait to come back!

Second time here and would love to go back. If you are looking for someplace away from all the resorts and high rise hotels this is it. Very nice spot, very quiet, and a real feel for Aruba. Close to the smaller attractions, local food, and attractions.

Our 2nd stay was better than ever!
Such a peaceful place to stay! We fished and snorkeled right outside the gate, enjoyed our Sunday Funday cookouts. Our host Janzen made sure we had everything we needed and checked in several times during our stay. This little house in Saveneta is the perfect location with 2+ of the best restaurants in walking distance. Next time we would like to rent for a month...feels like home!

This house right in the water. Listening to the waves as your eating breakfast was the best. We would leave the top half of the kitchen door open and the slider door open for the best breezes to come through. We did have a bird come in and visit, he didn’t stay long. Great trip.

Lovely Quiet location
If you want a quiet location on the water away from the resorts (which we did), this is the perfect location. Walk right out to the beach and into the Caribbean! Brit was a delightful host- even set us up for excellent snorkeling at Baby Beach. We loved our stay and would stay again. Only drawbacks- we were not aware of extra charge for utilities and there is no AC in the kitchen/living area. Bedrooms do have AC. Also the bath and beach towels could be upgraded. All in all a wonderful stay.

Perfect Family Getaway
The villa was the perfect getaway location for our family's week in Aruba. Brit and Mike were incredible hosts. Their hospitality and guidance throughout the week set them apart from previous hosts/property managers that we've experienced at other properties, as they treated us as friends from the moment that we arrived. With the beach, a hammock, and lounge chairs right there, we and our two teenage kids were able to recharge and spend time together as a family, a much needed break from our typical, chaotic schedule. That being said, not once did our very active son ever say he was bored. With great snorkeling right at the property, he always had somewhere to go when he wanted to burn off extra energy. Our daughter was happy to spend a lot of time relaxing in the hammock or lounging in the sun when not snorkeling herself. We all spent hours right there in the ocean, whether snorkeling or just floating in one of the inflatable recliners. The location within Aruba was perfect, as the villa is only about 15-20 minutes from Baby Beach in one direction or the port area for souvenir shopping in the other direction. There are two great restaurants within walking distance. When out and about, we always tried to get back for the amazing sunsets. When we didn't feel like wandering out, we could grill right at our place and enjoy meals in our covered outdoor living area. If you want to get away and stay somewhere other than the mega-resorts (where one never really gets to experience Aruba and must walk across roads to access the ocean), this is the place for your next family vacation.

The cottage was just what we hoped for. Quaint, clean and private. Close to restaurants and food sto
We had the best vacation ever! Spent our first week in the high rise district then moved to the cottage for 4 weeks. The cottage was much more relaxing. The property owner, Brit, could not have been nicer. She invited us for dinner on the beach with the guests at the other cottage and some friends. The cottage and set up allow you to be as private or social as you like. We enjoyed some of the local restaurants and take out spots. Did some exploring of the island, particularly the south end and found some great local restaurants. BTW, the beach is just steps away from your cottage door. If your thinking about going, dont hesitate to book this great little cottage. #ONEHAPPYISLAND. BOB & LORI

Beautiful location. Rental needs updates.
The best thing about this property is the fact that you can be in the water in a matter of seconds snorkeling and enjoying the beautiful water. There is seating outside which we took advantage of to enjoy the view and especially the sunsets. The rental unit does leave several things to be desired and needs to be refreshed. The lighting should be improved as we were unable to read at night except while lying in bed. I had to hold a mirror by the window in the kitchen so my husband could put in and take out his contact lenses because the bathroom had insufficient lighting. The kitchen dishes, silverware, etc. needed a thorough cleaning with hot water when we arrived. We were surprised to learn that electricity usage was not included in the rental rate as we did not have prior notification. During our visit it was very hot and humid requiring us to run the air conditioner while sleeping. We enjoyed dining at Marina Pirata and with its beautiful view, great food and friendly service you are sure to enjoy it. Zeeovers had a limited menu but with delicious fresh seafood, lots of locals, great location and friendly staff it is a must. Antesala Cafe is modern and offers delicious breakfast and lunch options. We enjoyed talking to the owner about Aruba. These three restaurants are located in Savaneta and you can walk to Zeeovers. We have rented many other properties and have never written a review. Having found nothing negative in the reviews about this rental we felt obligated to write this. We rent our vacation home and because we use the home we know what is needed for everyday conveniences. We think if the owners stayed in the unit, they could make the improvements needed and make for a better experience for the renters. Bert was a pleasure to work with. He answered all our texts promptly. We looked forward to seeing him when he visited the property. We can’t thank him enough!

Wonderful property and owner!
House is right on the water, yet gated, so very safe feeling. The house is part of a compound of three structures, with the owners house in the middle of the two rentals. We had everything we needed for our stay except groceries which were close by. Great snorkeling and fishing opportunities right in the back yard!

The Quite End of the Island
Just returned from our ten day stay. It is very quite and private. The beach is small but adequate. It is a public beach that the locals use also but everyone is nice. Good snorkeling and the sunsets are amazing. Brit was an amazing host!! He was full of information and help. The villa is adequately supplied. We stayed in the 2 BR villa. By the way the drinking water is amazing! Bring your reusable water bottle! Plastic water bottles are frowned upon for good reason! I highly recommend for anyone who wants a quite vacation away from the hustle and bustle of high rise area. Thank you Brit for being a exemplary host.🏝🌅

Peaceful hidden gem!
We spent 2 weeks in this lovely quiet area of Aruba in January, unlike the crowds and traffic of the large hotel areas. Our little house had very comfortable accommodations, a nicely sized kitchenette for cooking, as groceries are not as expensive as many Caribbean islands. Our shaded patio was surrounded by pretty plantings and we had a lovely view of the water, with beautiful sunsets, and delicious swimming just steps away. We were daily entertained by dozens of little yellow birds at our feeder hanging in the tree in the patio. Lights at night beautifully illuminated the old divi-divi tree by the water. The weather was comfortable all day with gentle breezes, an occasional shower lasting just minutes. We found that some air conditioner at night was helpful. Our gracious hosts made every effort to satisfy requests, and generously shared water ‘toys’. While this is not as glamorous as the modern hotels, the privacy and beauty of this little area made for a beautiful vacation. I look forward to another visit next year!
