  Great value!! Great location!! Great hosts!!! Owners are very nice and lovely people. Accommodations were very nice, clean and comfortable. The owners live next door. I needed for nothing during my stay. The owners were very attentive and concerned about how I was enjoying my stay,...but not intrusive. I usually travel solo as I did this time, and I felt quite safe, and comfortable. I didn't even lock my doors at night. The wife is a professional chef,...and a very good one at that. She prepared a few delicious meals for me during my stay. They run a classy, upscale, boutique restaurant on their property (Open Home & Kitchen). If you're ever in aruba, you should make it a point to try to have dinner there, the food is delicious. You will have to make reservations though. From what I have been told, the husband has been in the hospitality business for many years, and the wife has been in the restaurant business for many years. Both are definitely experts in their field. Upon my arrival, the husband was at the airport waiting for me with a sign with my name on it. Great service all the way around. I highly recommend this vacation rental for your stay in aruba. Thank you to P.& G. (initials of owners) for making my stay in aruba a pleasant one.

  An absolute steal!

  Left on 06/20/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  I recently did an 11 day trip to aruba and had been looking for an affordable yet high quality accommodation but ended up with so much more than I had expected and payed for. I was initially skeptical that such a package was being offered at such a modest price, but after the patience and professionalism I experienced with Philip, I decided to take a leap of faith and in turn received a one of a kind deal. Airport pickup was especially convenient and from that point on I was in the warm hands of these wonderful and experienced hosts. Everything advertised was offered as promised (maid service, private chef, fully equipped kitchen, A/C, wifi, flat screen TV, ipod dock, etc). In a nutshell, I received personalized service of hotel grade or higher in the convenience of a private, cozy and well maintained vacation home. With only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, at these rates, I couldn't imagine why anyone would pay to stay at the upscale beachfront resorts. Philip's experience in the hotel business and Graciela's experience as a chef is evident in every touch of service offered from the cutely folded towels on the bed to the soothing lounge music. In the classy restaurant set up in the main house next door, Graciela's creative cooking was so well priced, I hardly found it necessary to cook for myself or explore the often overpriced restaurants on the main strip.You must try her "Kesha” and ask for the Sauerkraut Soup with your bread!
  I enjoyed the option of renting their superb mountain bike at 5$/day on which I had the misadventure of getting two flats on my first day. I had to fight Philip to allow me to pay for repairs, which he wrote off at 25$! This is but a small example of how far he will go to ensure you enjoy your stay with as little headaches as possible. The hospitality that was offered was truly a defining factor and I would travel to wherever this couple sets up shop in the future. You won't find more quality and value at these prices.
