Just OK
Owner Kris and his assistant property manager Raul were available and generally responsive. Nice people! My group (family members and friends) were just "OK" with the place. I myself liked staying in a mostly-locals neighborhood with a nice pool area. But having a car is a must as the closest swimming beach is a good 15 or 20 minute drive away. My son liked the location as he could in 15 minutes be at Boca Grande, a good kiteboarding spot. The property itself is "tired" and lacking in numerous ways. We rented the downstairs unit. The ONLY warm water (whether for washing dishes or bathing) is in one of the two bathrooms. Furniture throughout the unit is worn and stained. Some appliances need replacing (toaster, microwave). We had to purchase our small Igloo cooler ($50 US), bath mats to avoid slipping in shower, fly swatters, all condiments (not even salt and pepper were provided), a lighter for the gas stove. There's a big old school boom box in the living room (who has cassette tapes anymore?) and when you walk in the front door the first thing you see is a broken glass cover of the fuse box with a note: "Do not touch." Window coverings throughout need replacing (venetian blinds in terrible condition). Only one TV in the 3 bedroom unit, and channels are limited. Beds were VERY comfortable and the room air conditioners work great. So, in summary, if you are expecting the Taj or something upscale, this is NOT the place. If you can deal with basic living, it's fine.

Great staycation
Kris was an excellent host. A few things needed attention and he responded quickly. It had everything we needed for a staycation. Although it was in a neighborhood in the south end, there were great restaurants nearby, beautiful beaches just minutes away and a walking trail. We loved our stay

Amazing and Effortless
I don't even know where to begin. From the moment we landed it was effortless, we reached out to Tina and she met us and we followed her to the property, driving through the neighborhood I knew which house was our because it was EXACTLY like the photos listed. We arrived, it was beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned from the photos inside and out. Tina gave us a tour, showed us how things worked, answered any questions we had and even downloaded the app Kris recommended we use while in Aruba to communicated with others on the island. There isn't anything I would have changed with the setting if it was my own and there wasn't anything I wish I had because it was all there ( plenty of towels, pillows and SPACE we were a family of 5 with 2 teenagers lol) including a decorated Christmas tree!! The one thing I wanted that I didn't have I messaged Tina and asked her if she had one and she brought it to me the next day for our outing. We all loved the place, and we really enjoyed Tina when she would come over to tend to the pool , tidy up the deck and check on the property, we would talk, laugh and our girls would share their adventures with her. By the end of our trip she felt like family! We left her a note and a gift when we left, she took the time to thank us through the app while we were in the airport. We cant wait to return to be able to stay at Kris' property and see Tina again!!!! Kris your property is perfect and your project manager (Tina) is AMAZING!!!! Thank you , we had a wonderful stay!! -Nola-

Fantastic - from the welcome from Kris to the wonderful open covered porch and beautiful pool
My husband and I have been fortunate to travel to Aruba six times. We’ve rented condo’s and homes. This home is the absolute best by far. Comfortable, beautiful breeze, sunny pool area, great lighting around the pool at night and the best host ever. Kris met us a Jay’s Car Rental which was the one he recommended. Best car rental by far, they picked us up at the airport and we were quickly given a car and were out of there within 10 minutes. It is also the least expensive rental we’ve had ever in Aruba. Kris took us to the retreat and we put our luggage in our rooms. He then took us for a cold beer, his favorite grocery store where we bought beer and scotch. Kris told us the best restaurants and beaches. He also surprised us with four wonderful chicken and beef kabobs which we cook on the grill that night. What a fabulous way to start our three weeks in Aruba. Kris took us to his special places in Aruba and we totally enjoyed hearing about the history of the Arubian people. You will not have a better experience! We’re coming back to stay at the Retreat next year! Thanks so much Kris and also to his house keeper Tina who helped us book some restaurant reservations. We had a fabulous time!

The property is excellent, very nice, laid back, good location and quiet.
Kris, the owner is awesome, very good host, and Tina was always there to accommodate us. The pool and nearness of the beaches and restaurants were also a plus. Great ambiance we will come back.The neighborhood is very safe. David and Lavelle Humphries
