Perfect destination for 2 people “on the go”
Right across from great snorkeling beaches and great area for walking. Area was safe and had easy access to restaurants and other destinations. Can’t go wrong with this selection
This cozy studio was great! Bed very comfortable. Directly across the street from Tres Trapi beach. One of best sunset views and snorkeling spots on the island. Beach towels, snorkel gear, pool noodles and lots of other little convinces were in the studio. If we return to Aruba will definitely stay here again!

Perfect
This was our first time in Aruba and we couldnt be happier w the location and place we chose to stay. It was so nice to have everything needed for the beach available for use w the house. Location is perfect and we often wnjoyed our morning coffee at the beach across the street. Melissa was great at communicating and keeping us up to date on everything and was very fast to reply. The studio is small but was perfect for my husband and I.

Perfect relaxing spot
Had the best four days to the start of two weeks in aruba. Melissa made accessing the rental easy. She lives next door so was perfect if i needed anything.
Its small but ideal for one person. Clean. Simple. But with everything you need. Cooked in the studio. All the utensils you needed. Nice bathroom. Beach towel provided.
But the best bit is the location. You litterally cross the street to the ocean. I picked this place as i wanted to swim with the turtles. It took me three days to find them but they showed up for my last morning and swam with you in touching distance. Was a fantasic experience. The fish are also insane. If you swim between malmock and tres trapi there are so many varietys. The morning snorkle was my highlight. To be able to cross the road and jump straight in was fantastic.
I spent the days at Arashi beach. It has a cute little beach shack with a bar and food. For 10 dollars you can rent a beach chair and use the loos and showers. Cocktails are great. 10 to 15 min walk.
The light house resturant was delicious. However get a taxi to this one. Definelty looks closer than it is. But the food was great.
Overall so glad i picked this place and would definelty return.
Thank you for having me

Another wonderful stay in the cozy studio
We had another wonderful stay and hated to leave. Our accommodations were just right for us with the stunning beach across the street. We spent most of our time there and loved watching the sunset.
This is a perfect spot to stay and snorkel and enjoy all Aruba has to offer. Everything you need is provided.
Until next time Aruba!
The absolutely phenomenal snorkelling couldn’t be more accessible. A little on the secluded side, so it’s best to rent a car upon arrival from the airport as the taxis are expensive.

Great place to stay!
Melissa was a great host! Whenever we had questions she was able to answer them and she was very communicative about anything that might affect our stay. Melissa included great magazines/books in our room that allowed us to better explore Aruba, make plans, and be aware about local information. It was a great stay and a great location that was quiet and peaceful.

Just a few feet from the beach!
This was a perfectly sized place to stay for my husband and I. My favorite part is Tres Trapi directly across the road. Grab the snorkeling gear Melissa kindly provides and go check out the sea turtles!
The property is exactly as photographed and described. All the neighbors are nice and welcoming. If you're looking to visit, but wanting a quieter part of the island, this is it.
Melissa was super attentive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

One Happy Visitor
Aruba is known as "one happy island" and, during my two week stay, I was "one happy visitor". Melissa was a thoughtful and responsive host. Her property was exactly as advertised: clean, cozy, and close to the water. I walked to four different beaches and enjoyed snorkeling at all of them. There is parking available, but I didn't rent a car because I was able to travel back and forth to Oranjestad's downtown on the public bus that passes right in front of Melissa's property. I really enjoyed being so close to the water, but also appreciated the easy access to shops and restaurants.

So pleased with our stay!
Melissa was amazing from the time we inquired about her property with our many questions until the time we checked out.
The apt has every necessity and was spotlessly clean with a cozy bed and situated in the perfect area, across from a beach complete with sea turtles to start your day and a beautiful sunset to end your night. It’s away from the hustle and bustle but only a short drive away. We were so very pleased with our stay!
It was a pleasure staying at Melissa‘s studio apartment. It is in a beautiful part of the island directly across the street from a wonderful snorkeling area. It is quiet at night, and Melissa was very attentive, cheerful and engaging. I really enjoyed my stay at her place! I would definitely rent from her again.

Comfortable Studio in a charming setting steps from the Beach
Melissa was a WONDERFUL and responsive host. We enjoyed our stay in her little compound (two casitas and a walled yard, and the main home) and didn't want to leave. Our space was perfect for us including a large walk-in closet and dressing area, Kitchen area, Flatscreen TV, etc., and a Queen bed, and common outdoor area.
There were plenty of fresh linens, and Melissa supplied snorkel gear and beach chairs too. I worked remotely the whole time and was able to just cross the street and snorkel to my favorite beaches or enjoy the famous Arubian Sunset. We loved it and are planning our return!

Steps from the best beaches
Wonderful location. Clean…every essential was available and then some. Host provided beach towels, beach chairs, and snorkel equipment. Very safe and quiet area. Had a rental car, but could have done without. Beaches right across the street. Got groceries for the week at Super Foods on our way in and was good to go!!
I loved the location of this property. It was right across from some of the best snorkeling locations. The property also provided a beach chair, snorkel masks, and a beach mat which was super helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Wake up to the best turtle spotting snorkeling
Laid back hostess made me feel welcome and was very helpful! Tres Tapi is one of my favorite snorkeling locations and this is literally directly across the street! Easy walk to Boca Catalina, where the snorkeling tours bring you, I went out and joined them as it is an easy swim out! Great spot to start a mountain bike trip for a loop around California Light House and off road trails. Also a 5 min bike ride to Palm Beach shopping - maybe 15 min walk. So affordable!
Una propiedad sencillamente espectacular, muy bonita, exactamente como en las fotos, acogedora y con muy buena energía. Excelente dotación y la atención de la anfitriona muy especial.
La propiedad tiene una inigualable ubicación. Esperamos volver muy pronto!
