Welkom bij Cas Abao, een mooie plek om te verblijven, te midden van de mooiste stranden van het eiland. In ons huis kunt u de sfeer van het strand, de zon en de zee te ademen. Het spectaculaire uitzicht op de Caribische zien, de ruimte in en om het huis, de privacy en de koelte van het zwembad zijn mooie ingrediënten voor een geslaagde vakantie. Onze villa is een echte familie huis. Met 4 slaapkamers en 4 badkamers, een 100 m2 terras, een grote woon- en eetkamer en een mooi zwembad, biedt veel ruimte (voor 8 personen). Het is een vrijstaande villa op 1000 m2 grond. De aangrenzende percelen zijn niet verbouwd, dus er is veel privacy.
We, two couples, stayed at this villa for 10 days in late February, 2018.
The check-in procedure was very easy. Bart, from the property management company, met us near the airport and we followed him to the property. The trip was about 20 minutes, even in our high-mileage, compact rental car. Bart was very charming and helpful—he took a house key, which was left on the car’s keychain, back to the car rental company in town for us.
This was our second trip to Curacao. On our first trip we stayed near the Jan Thiel area close to Willemstad, and also in Cas Abao. Cas Abao has far less traffic than in town so is much easier to get around.
The villa is spacious, clean and modern. Add in great sea views from the huge balcony and the place is perfect. We downloaded a “ship finder” app, so we enjoyed reading about the ships we saw sailing by. Cruise ships are spectacular when you see them passing by at night. The pool, though small, is very refreshing after a day out. We enjoyed floating and trying to identify the many different birds that were flying by.
The beds were very comfortable with nice linens. The kitchen was well-equipped. BBQ utensils were missing, but new ones were promptly delivered next day when we asked.
They do charge for water and electric “overuse”. We used the air conditioning nightly in the bedrooms and the dishwasher every second day. We also used the washer and dryer a couple of times. We had about three dinners and eight breakfasts in. Our friends play Latino music, seemingly non-stop, and they love showering. Despite all this, we paid only €6.4 (Euros) a night (€64 in total for 10 nights, or $10/day) for our power and water use. (We note the earlier comments about the neighbors above; however, Latino music seems to cover up any such noise.)
We like the beaches in the area very much. Some of them do charge for entrance and chair use, but they are free the further north (west) you go. We spent five days in Aruba before coming to Curacao. To rent four chairs and an umbrella on Eagle Beach costed us $80. In Curacao we went to Karakter in the nearby Coral Estates a couple of times. The resort has a fine little beach and infinity pool with very good food and services. If you have lunch there, the chairs and umbrellas are free. Some other excellent restaurants are also in the area, and further to the north . Curacao is a fabulous island and this villa is great, calm place from which to explore it.
Read the entire VRBO listing carefully. These comments are not about the owners - they are about the property. Stayed in Feb 2018:
House: Big house. Nice view is a plus. Before you rent: Convert $ to EU. in our case (USD to EU) 1.00 to 1.23 at the time. Convert all electric and water rates of this VRBO carefully PRIOR to renting.
Gated community until the neighbors above the property quarrel to the point law enforcement should be called. Instructions for emergency's should be discuss and clearly presented to renters prior. If you call emergency services, you will have to let them in the gate.
Close to beach: Yes (BUT), 10 EU dollars to get in and food and beer over priced not only at the beach but whole island. That cost is out of the control of the property owners, but don't use the beach as a sales pitch to rent your property. Property is definitely 25-35 minutes away from everything - we found that to be more of a hindering issue . Grocery stores nearby, yes but the "Good" grocery stores are a solid 35 min from the property. Property location great for hikers.
Ants and bugs in Kitchen: Everyday bugs in the kitchen. We realize there are bugs on islands, we've been to multiple islands. Spiders in the basement areas. We had to keep everything in Fridge
Amenities: While we realize we are not staying at a hotel, we had to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, wash cloths and other items to complete the stay. There was one roll provided for each bathroom.
Beds: All twin beds, move around and uncomfortable. Pillows were good.
Rear Driveway: Don't park on it - when it rains you car can slide rewards while backing. Park on the road and walk.
"Slight" over water usage: To put this into context: We originally scheduled 5 to go, 2 had to back out. Which left 3 in the house taking minimal showers and we ate out nearly every night thus no sink or dishwasher usage. Somehow we managed to use near 100.00 USD worth of water? Our fault, we shall do a better job of converting metric. Take a picture of the water meter upon arrival/departure and compare against the water rate posted in the original was the other lesson. When the pool cleaner comes, she drains the pool and you pay for the water. Big Negative
We only ran AC at night in two BR's, main living AC you are told not to use?? Why not tell renter that up front?
We won't return to Curacao and do not recommend this VRBO.
The house was as advertised. We had a little trouble with the ac but it was quickly addressed. The only thing we missed was a microwave. We cooked in almost every night and had enough cookware with a little creativity. The view makes the house.
A group of 5 of us had the pleasure of staying at this spacious villa for 5 nights. Several people in our party were arriving at different times and different airlines. Charlotte the representative of the management company used by the owners was very helpful in making the check in and check out go extremely smooth. Her group was always available for any needs we may have. The house is located on the best part of the island, you have an amazing beach at the property and you have easy driving distances to the other wonderful beaches on the west end and the Willemstad area to the east. The beds are very comfortable, the pool area has great views along with the large deck. There is always a nice breeze that allows you to open the large sliding glass doors to the main living area during the day. I would recommend this property to any group and I will definitely rent again on my next visit to Curacao.
