A Chalet in Paradise

The property was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was the perfect size for me and my partner and would be a great place for any couple. The air conditioning worked well and the fan upstairs helped to keep the bedroom cool.Sophie is such a lovely host. She provided us with everything we needed to best enjoy the island and had tons of recommendations for excursions. She was very friendly and made every effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. She even surprised us with balloons and rum on my partner's birthday which was a great personal touch. The only thing we didn't like is that the pool isn't as private as we thought, since it is on the host's property in their backyard. Other than that, everything was as described.We loved our time in Aruba and would stay here again!

This sweet chalet was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing and Sophie was an incredible, helpful and very kind host! The chalet is two lovely floors with a living room, shower and bathroom and outdoor kitchen area on the bottom and a bedroom loft! We really loved the lofted bed and getting to hangout and cook and have coffee in the partially outdoor kitchen! The yard is open and spacious and the pool was wonderful! The whole space was clean and breezy and so calming and welcoming! Sophie was happy to answer all of our questions and help with anything we needed. She was very easy to get in touch with at all time and she was just so kind and lovely to chat with and to get to stay with! We are so grateful that we ended up choosing this place and staying with her! The chalet is located very close to Arikok National park, about a 20 minute walk so it was perfect to get to visit there right from home! My partner and I had a beautiful time here and loved the peace and beauty of this space! We would absolutely recommend it and thank you Sophie again for such a great week in Aruba!!!

Sophie, Was a wonderful host, and our stay was very comfortable. She offered great recommendations on the island.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless clean, Sophie was incredibly nice, accommodating and really went out of her way to make certain that we enjoyed ourselves. She even provided us with a cooler and chairs for the beach. It's surprising how many hosts don't think of the little extras like that, but it's what makes the difference between a good and a great stay. She offered suggestions on things to do and see as well as where to catch a great experience for Carnival. The home was in a really safe location and in a newer neighborhood. The only negative thing about the whole stay was the outdoor kitchen. In 21 years of visiting Aruba, we've never encountered an issue with mosquitos. They were really bad in the outdoor kitchen here; it really needs to be screened in or a strong fan added. Mosquitos are weak flyers and are also attracted to human scent and CO2 emissions. A good fan overpowers their ability to fly and disperses human CO2 emissions and helps to eliminate mosquitos. Sophie provided sprays, incense and everything imaginable for us to combat them, but they were still pretty bad. We don't like to eat out much and prefer to cook most of our own meals, so this was a challenge for us. Aside from the mosquitos, it was the perfect place to stay and we would certainly return again.
