Great little garden villa
Publié le 5 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayWe just returned from a week trip to Curacao and had the pleasure of staying in this cozy garden villa in Blue Bay. It is nicely situated along the 2nd fairway of the golf course and only a 1 minute walk to the communal pool. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, from appliances (washer/dryer and dishwasher) to a beach cooler and even basic necessities, i.e., toilet paper, paper towels, soap and even salt & pepper and a few other spices and cooking oils. A few things to know before you go: 1) there is a lot of construction going on right next door which is not only loud but prevents you from walking to the beach in 10 minutes - you must walk up and around or drive there; 2) contrary to the photos in the listing, there is no regular drip coffeemaker and the patio has a small side table and 4 chairs - no loungers or dining set. While these things are not mentioned to deter you from staying at the villa, they are things we wish we had known beforehand.

Amazing week on the island
Publié le 1 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayIt was our first time visiting Curaçao. My husband and I spent a week on the island. I cannot say enough about our local managers. They were simply amazing. Prior to our arrival, they checked in with us to make sure we had all travel documents ready. Then, they were waiting for us at the property, and gave us some great info about the island (stores, beaches, restaurants, markets…).
The hosts always replied to our questions within minutes and were very helpful throughout our stay.
The condo was great, we loved the open plan, condo feels very new and modern. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms had all the necessities.
Blue Bay resort is great too, with nice restaurants, bars, coffee/ice cream shop. While we liked some other beaches better, Blue Bay beach is nice too, with plenty of shade and lounge chairs. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the beach as well. And it’s about 3 minutes drive from the condo.
We enjoyed seeing flamingoes on the golf course almost every day.
I also would like to mention that Blue Bay’s location is great as it’s about 12 minutes from Willemstad, Mambo beach, Lion’s Dive, and 30-45 minutes away from national parks and some other great beaches (Piskado, Lagun, playa Porto Marie, grote Knip, Grote Klein).
Overall, very-well kept property with plenty of space for 2 couples or a family with 1-2 kids.

Wonderful
Publié le 1 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayWe are so happy that we chose this property to stay at during our visit to the island! The villa was very clean, and only a 2 minute walk to the pool. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. There was even coffee pods and cold waters waiting for us on arrival which was much appreciated after a long day of traveling.

A Great Vacation
Publié le 3 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay! Our local hosts were there to meet us & answered all our questions during our stay via text immediately. The cottage was very clean with helpful extras in the bath & kitchen. The pool was close by, quiet & relaxing. Blue Bay beach with three restaurants was beautiful, but a little further than we anticipated. We drove to the beach most days. We would stay here again.

Slice of paradise
Publié le 31 janv. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe property is situated in a quiet, scenic, gated golf resort. It was very clean, well appointed and conveniently located. There was a nearby supermarket as well as a fanatic pizza take out (Il Forno). You could just as easily drive to the beaches located on the northern part of Caracao, drive to Mambo Beach for sushi or do souvenir shopping in Willemstad. Also, you have access to Blue Bay Beach where you can watch amazing sunsets or have dinner on the beach. We spent close to a month on the property. I recommend staying here.

Beautiful Location on a Beautiful Island
Publié le 16 janv. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe villa was great. It made for a fantastic location for our beach hopping across the island. It was stocked well with everything we needed, and a comfortable place to rest after a long day at the beach. Just known that the living room did not have AC like the bedrooms. They could probably use 1 or 2 more fans for when the breeze is not blowing. This was not a problem, just something to consider if you plan on spending a lot of time there. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.

Hello Thomas.
We are happy to hear that you had a nice holiday.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to buy a second fan. In some periods you do indeed need a second fan.
You are always welcome in our villa bungalow Blue Bay Paradise.
Kind regards,

A nightmare Accommodation but great Curacao
Publié le 16 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayWe booked this house judging from the picture at Fewo, represented a nice and welcoming house in May2023.
Arriving on June 5th, the picture was the opposite.
Summary: This house used to be a nice place, but it is clear, that it has not been properly maintained since years.
Now some details:
• The fridge was partly broken and full of Mold , so not to be used ; (refer to other reviewers).
• In the house are loose cables, broken floor and Mold spots so not a safe house with small children.
• Huge part of the jalousies could not be opened, “We are waiting for an offer to repair them” the landlord said first after arrival.
• Dining Table was in bad shape. The housekeeper explained “the dirt is so deep that cannot be cleaned.
• The dining chairs are plastic and not the ones presented.
• The outside furniture is old and broken
Dirty bed sheets and hairs in the sink on arrival only complete the picture.
It is strange, that we had to send pictures as evidence before a new team came to clean. A Clean house should be cleaned at arrival!!
We stayed one night as we arrived late but next day checked out.
if anyone needs some pictures, happy to provide.

Dear Roya,
We thank you for the points you have raised. We really appreciate this.
The technician couldn't find anything wrong with the refrigerator. The only thing he found was that some places were not clean.
We had the refrigerator checked earlier because the guests thought there was a leak on March 20. After they checked out, we sent a technician to have it fixed. The technician found that there was nothing wrong with the refrigerator. It was a jug of water that was leaking.
Loose cables are from the WiFi and TV and are certainly not dangerous. They're in a corner. Most of it is in a tube. I have asked the new administrator to check the cables. When I was there I myself has put it in the tube. They will check it for me.
Indeed, we discovered that some of the shutters do not open. Most do. We have found the right carpenters who do good work and are now getting started to check everything for me.
The only thing about the dining table is that on 2 legs the plate has become a bit loose. The mirror on the dining table was fixed by three rubbers. These rubbers became worn out and gave an unpleasant view. The clean master and the manager at the time did not lift it and clean it or remove it. That was the whole problem.
The dining chairs are made of plastic. The reason why we chose this is that the chairs in the photo have chrome legs. They were rusted by the sea air. Too much salt in the air. That's why we chose plastic that matches the table.
The furniture outside was discolored. It is true that it gives the wrong impression. But we will see how we will look for otherones with can stand the sun.
Regarding the bed goods, we have instructed the new manager to throw everything away and buy new ones.
We were very angry about this. We didn't know that. The most important thing when renting out a house is that it must be clean, especially the bed in which you sleep.
What I understood from the cleaner is that it was clean, but the stain could not be removed. I said that's not possible. You have to buy a new sheet and report to me.
Thank you for sharing this information with me so that I could find out how our home had been neglected by the property manager.

Great location, no essentials/amenities
Publié le 1 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayIf you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Curaçao, Blue Bay is the place, but just not this house. They provide 6 towels, 4 mini hand soap bars and that is it. Literally not even napkins or dishwashing detergent or even salt and pepper to cook. Absolutely nothing is provided. I asked the property manager and she said it is “the guests responsibility”, so clearly this is a choice they are making to not even provide the bare minimum. We had to buy all of it just to cook a single meal so I’d reconsider if you’re only staying a few days but wanted to cook during your stay.
We also wanted to wash our towels and there was no detergent provided so if we wanted to do a load we would’ve had to go to the store for this as well. Overall, not really convenient to stay here.
You have to communicate with a different person outside of the VRBO app through WhatsApp so be prepared for that as well. I would definitely go back to Blue Bay and stay there and I have recommended several friends to do so as well, but definitely look for a different property.

Dear guest,
It is true that Blue Bay is a very great place to stay with the facility that it offers.
For every guest we provide two towels. You were two guests so the cleaner has provided not 4 but 6 towels that is 3 towels per guest.
We have in the drawer of the kitchen salt and pepper. They are laid near the glasses in the kitchen. We even have milk, coffee and tea. So I cannot understand that you say that there is no essentials/amenities in the house.
Normally we have dishwashing detergent but apparently the property manager forgot to buy it. You could have asked her, About the clothes detergent we don't provide that. We have never provided there and in all the years that we are renting the house nobody has complained about that. Remember that we are not a hotel but a house which we rent/hire to tourists.
Normally, because we are not a hotel, people go to the supermarkets to buy food and drinks etc. That is what we also do normally when we go abroad. If I go to a hotel and take all-inclusive then I will expect everything to be provided. But even in hotels there are different packages.
It is really convenient to stay by us and also the experience of other guests.
About the communicatioion. We not even had a mail through which we could communicate with you. You have tried to make it easy for you by communicating through VRBO but whatsapp or even you personal e-mail would be easier. But you wanted through VRBO. So we did what your wish is. You didn't want to answer us through your personal e-mail. We not even knew when your plane was coming and the time of arrival. Very mysterious. Just the same day you have called and said that the plane was delayed so you were arrive late at night. And you said that you didn't want to see nobody. She has to guide you through the house, that uit her work. But we respected your wish and she came the other day. When she came you said together with your husband that everything is ok.
My advice to you, honestly is to take an hotel next time.
Gereetings,
René Heeren

Comfortable and spacious villa at Beautiful Blue Bay
Publié le 10 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwayAlthough not very close to the Blue Bay beach, the villa is in an excellent location with a swimming pool close by. We arrived in the evening and were met by the property manager, Vivianne who showed us around. The property is very comfortable with everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. The facilities at the Blue Bay beach are excellent with a great restaurant (Coast) and beach bar (Blend). A car is needed as it is a long walk to the beach, and the nearest Supermarket is about 2-3kms away. The benefit of a car enables you to visit the Island, other beaches and Willemsted as well. The property itself is light and airy and a welcome air conditioning in the bedrooms. The washer and drier were most welcome but would recommend the fridge to be looked at (leaked water on occasions). We would recommend a few additions such as external lighting on the patio, a little more kitchen equipment (e.g sharp knives) if you wish to cook. Overall - a great place to vacation!
