Sophisticated Oceanfront Villa, Beach Access


In the detached Villa Vista Mare on Bonaire with enclosed garden and private swimming pool, you can enjoy the world with your loved one or family (up to 10 people) in complete seclusion. The villa is fully equipped and has a beautiful large tropical garden, plenty of shade and a lovely swimming pool with sun beds with a view and direct access to the sea. At the pool you will find a separate Gazebo with covered terrace on the 1st floor where you have an unforgettable view of the sea and Klein Bonaire and a separate outdoor kitchen.

Villa Description:
The living is easy at this Villa Vista Mare, luxurious vacation villa in the island of Bonaire.
Villa Vista Mare offers 5 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and fits 10 persons with ease.
Three bedrooms are accessible from within the house, the other two are attached to the main house, but accessible from outside.

The villa sits on a large slender lot, featuring the splendid main house on the street side and a super cozy, fully equipped gazebo with kitchen, outdoor shower and bathroom on the ocean. Here is a lot of space to lounge and hang out at the pool deck, while overlooking the ocean. Vista Mare has a beautiful Magna Pool, with magnesium minerals. When you jump in, you can feel the difference: the water has a gentle, silky feeling against your skin. There is little or no irritation to your eyes and your hair won’t need washing to get rid of that chlorine smell or sticky salt feeling associated with chlorine and saltwater pools.

And then there is the ocean... directly accessible through easy steps down to the beach which is partly sandy and partly rocky. At the gazebo there are bar style tables with high chairs, a dining table and plenty of sunbeds for everyone to enjoy.
Water shoes are recommended to enter the crystal clear water and if you bring snorkeling gear you will see the beautiful coral reef and loads of tropical fish.
The main house has many amenities to keep you entertained: a roomy living area with big flat screen TV (no cable, smart tv where you can sign in to your streaming services), a bar with wine cooler and ice maker, a fully equipped kitchen and even a billiard table.
Enjoy the breeze as it comes through the screened in shutters. Or enjoy the spacious porch, where you will also find a large dining table, comfortable chaise lounges and coffee table with lounge seating.
The bedrooms have AC. NO AC IN THE LIVING ROOM - the area is cooled by breeze, opening shutters through screened windows!

There is an AC in the kitchen and apartment living area, they are available at an additional charge, $450 per week. ******NOTE: these AC's is not meant to cool the entire area. they are meant to cool on the spot.****
As these AC's are generally not in use, they need to be reserved in advance so we can ensure functionality. Upon reserving please read the contract carefully for this information.

--- PRICING INFO ---
We often get questions about the price set up; this villa is already available as of 2 persons, and so there is a base occupancy rate for 2 persons. Then, for each additional guest there is an additional fee as the utilities on this island are extremely expensive. As a result a group of 10 pays more than a family of 6. And when a couple decides to stay at Villa Vista Mare, they don't pay for 10. It’s our way to cater to a wider market.
During your stay at this villa, you'll be close to No Name Beach. You'll find features like a gym and a spa tub. Free WiFi and a private pool are available in the villa.
  • Air-conditioned villa with private pool, kitchen, and washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include a terrace
  • Onsite recreation includes a gym
  • Just a 4-minute drive from No Name Beach and a few minutes from Washington-Slagbaai National Park
This villa offers its guests a spa tub and a fitness center. A terrace, barbecue grills, and a garden are also featured at this villa.

This Kralendijk villa is smoke free.

The pool saved us

Beautiful Oceanfront Property
If you want to wake up and sip your morning coffee overlooking the Caribbean ocean, this is the place for you! Our family decided to venture outside of our normal Bonaire accommodations and Villa Vista Mare did not disappoint. It allowed our entire family to stay under one roof and enjoy all the island has to offer.

Great property
Great place to bring a family. With a little help you can snorkel right in front of home. The pool was awesome, because of all the trees and shrubs you will need to skim pool each morning but no big deal. Lots of places to sit and eat dinner. A 5-10 minute drive to town and grocery stores. The snorkeling is not the best we have seen but plenty of fish. Coral is having some problems. Lots of great restaurants. Took 3 families total of 8 people and plenty of room.

Fabulous Property and Water Access
This was our second stay at this property and loved it just as much this time as two years ago. The access to the water with world-class diving and snorkeling in your back yard is outstanding. The pool that overlooks the water with super comfy lounge chairs, pool house bathroom and full refrigerator creates the perfect place to hang out after a day in the water. This is a big house with plenty of space inside and outdoors for everyone to spread out if they choose or come together to enjoy the pool, play games, eat meals, etc. We did have a few issues (outdoor grill needed gas, couldn't light stove in kitchen, driveway gate broke) which were quickly fixed by management. My one suggestion for management would be to try all the ceiling fans and light fixtures in the property and make sure all are working. We had three ceiling fans that didn't operate (one inside and two outside), which makes a difference when there's no AC in the main part of the house and you want to be outside. And even though the maintenance guy could light the stove, I was never able to figure it out and gave up on cooking breakfast. Not huge deals, but when you're staying in a luxury home, you want things to work. But these issues aside, I would stay at this property again in a heartbeat. It's a beautiful place with comfy beds, plenty of towels for showers and pool, a fully stocked kitchen, places to hang dive gear, pool toys, and even a wheelbarrow to help tote dive gear down to water.

Amazing Family Holiday
We had an amazing experience here as two families vacationing together. The pool area was the definite highlight, and the home is so spacious that you can always find just the right spot to curl up, chill out or socialize depending on your mood. Area is very safe and secure and quiet, but only a short ride to town for groceries or meals or activities. House amenities are plentiful with the exception of shampoo and conditioner so make sure you bring your own. We made the mistake of buying ground coffee and the larger coffee maker uses beans so keep that in mind. And with the beauty of the gardens comes pesky little insects wanting to eat you! so come prepared with repellant (this is just good advice for Bonaire no matter where you stay!) Overall, a fantastic property - already miss the view of the sunset while sitting in the pool with a cool beverage...

Villa Vista Mare - So Luxurious!
This villa was the perfect setting for a long-anticipated friends trip, providing just the right location, space, and ambiance we needed. We gathered in the kitchen as well as the many outdoor living spaces and of course the fabulous pool for hours each day. There were also plenty of areas around the property for everyone to enjoy their alone time. The villa was well appointed with an abundance of dishes (including non-breakable items down near the pool), towels, and storage. We also very much appreciated the ability to use the wireless speakers around the property. The large scuba rinse tank and gear storage area was useful and perfectly located as well. Insect repellent will be mandatory and if you’re coming during an especially hot month (we visited in October and it was VERY hot), we would recommend paying for the extra AC, even if it only cools off the immediate area. When we had a couple hiccups early on in the trip (such as inadvertently setting off an alarm – oops!), we had to bug the host late at night and the response was friendly and helpful on each occasion. They really took to heart that their guests just want everything to be perfect on a dream trip like this and handled our calls with the utmost of friendly customer service. We would book this villa again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful garden, birds, snorkeling and great for a family!!
VRBO - pros and cons Pluses: 1. Location-convenient to the airport, town, grocery. Wonderful beach and snorkeling location. 2. Privacy- quiet and large garden full of songbirds; beautiful infinity pool and cabana with upstairs that was mostly well-maintained (leaves removed once) 3. Kitchen-ample supply of dishes and serving ware, including forks, spoons, skillets, utensils 4. Large beds, some towels 5. Bathroom tissue-good supply Negatives: 1. Coffee-none of the coffee machines worked well; Keurig was barely functional. (Either replace it or tell guests there is not a machine there.) 2. Air conditioning-in some bedrooms was not functioning properly and not working at all in main living areas. Controls were hard to read. No cool area to gather inside in the evenings. 3. Lighting-hard to find corresponding light switches. 4. Stove-hard to light burners 5. Laundry-very small washer and no dryer, (instructions were confusing), bad location in a bathroom attached to a bedroom. 6. Soap-no bar soap in any bathrooms (or at grocery stores); dishwasher and cleaning soaps were minimal 7. Stone stairs leading down from the pool are somewhat treacherous. Highlight them better with color or place a handrail. 8. Gate needs a remote control or other easier access. 9. Mosquitos were still present in dining area under the table.

Perfect family getaway
This was our second stay at Villa Vista Mare which pretty much says it all. We are always looking for new adventures, but just can't believe there is going to something better out there than this property. Right on the water adjacent to the Andrea dive sites, we both snorkeled and dived from "home". The landscaping is incredible, making you feel like you are the only ones on the island. Great pool and nice gazebo for games at night. The villa itself is spacious and well supplied. The property manager Rob was readily available both before we arrived to answer any questions and when we arrived. Simply an awesome place on a wonderful island.

Wonderful Villa
It was an extraordinary villa with an amazing pool and view. Located right on the Andrea II dive site, but it is not the easiest entry into the ocean and very little beach to speak of. Property management was amazing and very attentive to our needs. The only issues we had weee the bugs that came with all the rain, but what do you expect?! The island is beautiful and my wife and I will definitely return. My parents probably will not but they enjoy the more commercialized island of Aruba.
