beautiful lot

My husband and I stayed at this Coral Estate home for 10 days with our 9month old daughter. It was a beautiful lot. The moment you drive up, you see the ocean backdrop and the gorgeous landscape. The home was spacious and also has a pretty great sized pool (about 5ft deep). The home is situated within a private neighborhood with great amenities (you’ll have access to the amenities provided by the luxury resort also in Coral Estates). We frequented the pool and restaurants in the resort. The people are friendly, the views are breathtaking, and the food was delicious! On top of it all, you go to sleep to the sounds of birds and the breeze at night, so if you’re looking for tranquility and peaceful night’s sleep, look no further! Last thing, the host does a really good job of prepping you with the basics for your stay: dish soap, sponge, trash bags, etc. However, if you’re a planner and you like to be prepared, I suggest taking the host up on the offer to go grocery shopping for your prior to you’re arrival for a fee of $35. It was worth it for us given our late arrival and the fact that we had an infant with us.

Things to consider:
This villa is about 30ish minutes outside of Willemstad. Making that drive each day, back and forth, can be tough.
If you’re staying for a long while, consider buying some groceries for your refrigerator. It is hard to come by a grocery store, and in this area you can only drive to one.
If you have an infant, be aware that the floors are not very clean for crawling. The first day there, the bottom of my feet became dark within 10minutes of walking around the house. We had to sweep the house again. Even then, the floor felt dirty. The house needed a good mopping!
Lastly, if you’re not a excited by ants and iguanas, get ready to share space with them. We constantly saw ants in our bathroom, luggage, bed, etc. The iguanas often pooped on the perimeter of our pool and would go I cleaned until the pool maintenance person came to pick it up (the come once per week).

AMAZING VIEW!!!

Absolutely perfect home with a breathtaking view. Anyone would be lucky to stay here. Fully stocked, beautifully landscaped, awesome little pool to cool off in. Doesn’t get any better!

Incredible views.

Better than the photos and one of the best views we’ve ever had. I would not hesitate to book the villa (or another Andreas manages) again.

The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, etc., the appliances were good quality, and everything worked very well with one exception. If you intend to use a blender, the one in the house struggles to blend smoothies/drinks with ice. It is the most cheaply made blender that I’ve ever seen. But beyond that the kitchen was great.

We stopped at a large grocery store after leaving the airport, before heading to the property. Highly recommend Centrum Supermarket Piscadera.

The air conditioning worked very well for each room, and the house was very clean. Beds were firm but I slept well.

Andreas contacted us in advance to provide a lot of basic information about the property and island, including very detailed directions on how to get there from the airport. (If you have working GPS of a mapping app on your phone you’ll find it easily.)

The office for the gated community (that you see on your left when you arrive at the gate house) happily printed out our COVID test results so we could travel home with paper copies.

Karakter, the restaurant down by the water in Coral Estates, was really delicious with beautiful waterfront tables. Make reservations for dinner.
