You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful detached villa with a view over Klein Bonaire.

Casa Opalia is wonderfully free and has a large garden. It is perfectly windy and thanks to the mosquito net shutters it is very pleasant inside. The whole house is very spacious with all kinds of extra corners so that everyone can find their own ideal place. Even with large groups, the house offers a lot of privacy. From the open kitchen / living room the large sliding door provides access to the porch. Here you can enjoy the view and good food or BBQ. There is a large dining table with chairs for relaxing, a sofa and two hammocks. From the porch a staircase leads to the pool deck with a private swimming pool.
It is a relax pool with benches all around and massage jets. You can sit comfortably with 10 people and enjoy a drink. There are 3 sun beds on the pool deck.
On the lower floor there is 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms with balconies. 1 bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, the other two share a spacious bathroom with two sinks. From all 3 balconies you have an enchanting view of Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. There is also a terrace on the top floor with a view of the interior.
They feel wonderfully at home at Casa Opalia. In the morning you wake up with birdsong and the whole area exudes tranquility. In addition to a landscaped area, the garden also has a wild rock garden. So you can enjoy nature from the porch.
The house is fully equipped but the most important thing is that it makes you feel at ease !!!
You will be picked up from the airport by Arnold, the manager. Internet, towels and bed linen are included. Toyota pick up is for rent.

Great to relax and enjoy the highlights of Bonaire.
Lots of spaces. You can sit and relax in the sun or in the shade. And you will sleep well: the beds are good, the rooms are cool (airco and fan).

Fit our needs perfectly!
There were 4 of us staying at the house for two weeks. It was clean and very well supplied. Carla and Arnold are very responsive. We did run out of trash bags and Arnold brought more the next day. It was extremely hot while we were there and we definitely needed the A/C in the bedrooms, which worked very well. The rest of the house does not have A/C which most of the year would not be a problem. Unfortunately, we were there during a heat spell. The pool helped. The only concern would be that there are many dogs in the neighborhood that bark at all different times. We didn't hear them at night as the windows were closed and the A/C was on but I'm sure you would if it was cooler outside and the windows were open at night. We got up early (usually around 5am) and could hear them most mornings when we were downstairs. That being said, I would definitely stay there again.

Nice
Large home plenty big enough. Carla was always very responsive to our questions and Arnold was quick to respond to our issues when we got there. One toilet would not flush and he was right over to try and fix the issue. Unfortunately he was not able to get it fixed but there were enough other bathrooms so it did not cause any problems for us. We were surprised to find that there was no hot water to any of sinks. The oven did not work but there was a small toaster oven. We didn’t bake or need a large oven. The refrigerator worked but the shelves in the door did not fit and would fall off when you opened the door. Overall, besides the house needing a couple of upgrades (mainly the kitchen) we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Amazing place and hosts!
Carla was great to communicate with and our local host Arnold was very accommodating. The property is great! It is on a hill overlooking the coast with a view of Klein Bonaire from the bedroom balconies. Well appointed kitchen and outdoor dining area on covered porch. Nice place to rinse and hang dive gear. We were very happy with the rental.

Best house in town
Arnold, our local host, picked us up at the airport and had already done the first shopping at our request, as we arrived on Saturday evening. Arnold was always there for us as soon as we had a problem or question. He was also able to give us good tips. The house was perfect, but a bit big for only 3 people. The toyota pickup we rented with the house was awesome, just bonaire style. The pool and lounge was great, once a week the pool boy came and polished everything up. Our holiday was one of the best. Thanks to the whole team vrbo and arnold who did a great job. Hope to see you again soon Love simone, manuel and pädi

Great stay at Casa Opalia!!
Staying at Casa Opalia was a very nice experience. The owners Carla and Paul were very responsive to our inquiries. The home and overall property is large, with a good bit of greenery, numerous birds, and nice amenities. While we’ve been to Bonaire quite a few times, this was our first time staying in Santa Barbara. The area is mostly quiet during the day and evenings, perfect for a relaxing holiday vacation. We spent much of our time at the villa outside on the porch, which was benefited by a nice breeze even though wind speed was below average for Bonaire during our stay. The small pool is great for relaxing after a day’s diving, and there is a nice deck area for sunning if you are so inclined. The option to utilize the owners truck, for a much more reasonable price than the rental agencies, was a major plus. The owners were able to procure a diving discount for us with Dive Friends. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Opalia.

What a fabulous home, VIEW, and location!!
We spent 4 weeks in this wonderful home! Of an on, we had guests. The house is open, the porches are awesome and the grounds are beautiful! Aloe, pomegranate, guava, cactus, and rock gardens! Plenty of netting for all the beds and screens. A/c in bedrooms however we only used a couple of nights. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The owners, Carla and Paul, were so accommodating and Arnold, their manager was the BEST. From picking us up at the airport, introducing us to Casa Opalia, bringing us fresh fish...he was so nice! The house is large and very Bonairian!! You will not be disappointed. Oh, the pool is a relaxation and floating pool but it worked great for us!!

Parfait pour un séjour plongée entre amis
Nous étions un groupe de 10 plongeurs en vacances à Bonaire pour 10 jour et ce logement était parfaitement adapté. Il est spacieux et bien équipé pour 10 personnes Une grande table sur la terrasse. Une petite piscine pour se relaxer entre les plongées. Le quartier est calme. Le checkin et le checkout facile. Des sacs de glaçons nous ont même étés fournis, le frigo ayant eu du mal à suivre notre consommation ^^.

An oasis of peace and quietness
You can trust all the positive reviews and won’t regret booking. It’s really a nice house, air conditioned, well located, with a nice, small pool with a great view. In the kitchen you find all the tools needed, dish washer included. But the very best is the manager Arnold, never mind what’s the problem, he will solve it with a smile. If he ever asks you, if he should look out for fresh fish for you, say „Yes!“. We got the freshest tuna I’ve ate in my life for a really good price.

Heerlijke plek. Fijn richting Washington Slagbaai. Prima klein zwembad om af te koelen. Alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Misten alleen wel airco in woonkamer en een vd slaapkamers. Had fijn geweest als babybedje al opgemaakt was en airco aan stond in slaapkamers. Verder helemaal goed! En top contact met Arnold! Danki!

prachtige luxe vakantiewoning
De woning is lekker hoog gelegen met wind en fijn uitzicht. Echt alles is goed in het huis: ruime kamers, keuken met alles erop en eraan, veel extra's zoals koelboxen, ijsblokjesmachine, barbecue, overal airco (die je weinig nodig hebt). De bedden met klamboe zijn prima en het lekkerst is de geweldige porche met twee hangmatten en een grote tafel met hele lekkere stoelen met uitzicht over de oceaan en Klein Bonaire. Vlak voor de porche zorgen de troepialen, suikerdiefjes, mockingbirds en kolibries voor een continu spektakel. Er zijn kunststof stoelen die je op je auto zo mee kunt nemen als je ergens wilt zitten op de snorkelstrandjes op het eiland. Wij hadden ze vast achterop de pick-up staan met een sjorbandje. Gastheer Arnold is zeer voorkomend vanaf de eerste contacten. Hij vangt je prima op en is heel goed bereikbaar als er iets is. Het zwembadje is te klein om te zwemmen maar heerlijk om lekker af te koelen. Het huis is goed vindbaar en bereikbaar vanuit Kralendijk. Voor ons na meerdere vakanties op Bonaire een aangename verrassing!

Heerlijk huis
Ruim, fijne badkamers en goed geoutilleerde keuken. Maar het allerfijnst was de porch, met prachtig uitzicht en zonsondergang. Veel vogels om ons heen, suikerdiefjes, trupials, papagaaien e.a., en we hebben genoten van de leguanen, die elkaar soms achterna renden (spelen?), en nog andere prachtige hagedissen en een felgroene leguaan. Je zit dus midden in de natuur. Het zwembadje ook lekker om even in af te koelen. Communicatie met Carla, en ter plekke met Arnold ook heel fijn.
