Oceanfront Villa in Private Residential Area

This stunning villa boasts a spacious terrace with an infinity pool overlooking electric blue waters. There's access to the ocean below which contains the edges of Curacao's best coral reef. Home owners direct ocean access is 100 feet away from the house The villa has modern appliances & cozy furnishings. This home is secluded in an enclave where there are only 15 ocean front villas in complete privacy. Gated house in a gated community. Total privacy

The main house boasts three bedrooms and two baths, completely equipped and decorated in modern Caribbean flair. The kitchen is equipped for even the most discriminating gourmet cook. Detached from the main house, there is also a separate master quarters. The entire villa can accommodate 8 persons in total luxury and comfort with one king size bed, two queen size beds and two single beds.

From the infinity terrace you will enjoy an uninterrupted view of the ocean and sky. Swimming in the pool looking over the ocean under a sky lit night is an unforgettable experience. Birds, butterflies, hummingbirds and iguanas surround you in this half an acre ocean-front estate.

Coral Cliff Villa is located about thirty minutes from the airport and 40 minutes from the Blue Bay golf course or the world famous Willemstad. It’s remote location makes car rental an absolute necessity, but the total tranquility and peace of mind is well worth it. In 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Site committee selected the historic city center of Willemstad—one of just six Caribbean sites chosen—because of its “outstanding value and integrity, which illustrates the organic growth of a multicultural community over three centuries, and preserves to a high degree significant elements.”

What can you do in this beautiful ocean paradise? Swim, snorkel, scuba dive, fish from your own backyard, hike the nearby mountains, go horseback riding or simply do nothing and enjoy a spectacular surrounding. Maybe you would befriend one of the friendly neighbors and discover the history of the largest of the Netherlands Antilles. Or you could enjoy any of the hundreds point of interests just a few minutes away by car.

In Curacao you are almost guaranteed a perfect weather. Curacao is outside the hurricane belt, Tsunami proof, has never in recorded history suffered an earthquake and there are no poisonous animals on the island

Perfect for large groups
The property manager, Dirk and his wife, did an excellent job greeting us and showing us the house. The location right on the ocean with a pool makes it perfect for large groups considering the cost and how large the house is. Sadly, for smaller groups like ours who just want space and a nice place to stay, this house has not been maintained by the owner. Many little things wrong with the house, fans not working, drains slow to drain, a door that either doesn’t latch or doesn’t close depending on the humidity. Many little things wrong that detracted from the beautiful view. A car is a must and the nearest stores and restaurants are at least 15 minutes away.

Dive week
This was our 2nd time renting Oceanfront. Group of 5 divers. Just as nice the 2nd time around. Perfect for our needs. Great location in a less crowded area with beautiful view, The new ladder made ocean access easier but you still had to wait for calmer seas for entry. The house included everything needed, kitchen well supplied for any type of meal. The separate bedroom and bath made for spacious living. This was a clean well kept house. A very relaxing stay, Highly recommended.

If You Love Snorkling and Lots of Birds
This is our second time staying at the property and we love it. If you are a good swimmer, you can climb the ladder and jump right into the water and see coral almost immediately. I snorkels almost every day, but I recommend fins to push you through any waves. The reef here is magnificent. We also loved putting out our papaya skins on a plate for the birds to eat. Of course the best part of staying here is the infinity pool and the amazing view!

This is our favorite rental ever!
We travel quite a bit but have never stayed in a place like this. The location is unbelievable (if you like quiet, privacy and lots of amazing birds and snorkeling right out your door). I don't even want to go anywhere else on the island. Note that this is our second time renting this home and we look forward to coming back again in future years. My favorite moments are coffee in the morning while looking down over the coral. We've seen so much wildlife right from the deck. From pods of dolphins, to sea turtles, to barracuda.... nevermind the amazing birds. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Fabulous location
What an amazing place to stay to experience curaçao! The house is beautiful the location superb! The property managers live just down the street & were wonderful! The kitchen truly has anything you would need to make a beautiful dinner, cutlery, knives, pans & spices. Having a place outside Willemstad was a fabulous idea…,everything on the island is still close & you have total freedom… a morning swim & sunset in the pool were beyond wonderful.

Lovely vacation
This was an absolutely amazing vacation. The house is very charming and in a secluded location. Keep in mind that the bedrooms have air conditioning but all other living spaces do not. Therefore, we didn’t use the common areas of the house as it was just too hot for us. We spent most days on the patio and in the pool, which was lovely. We travelled all over the island and never had any safety issues. However, one thing of concern for me is that this house was listed as being a gated house in a gated community. The community gate was kept open at all times and there was no security or attendant. The gate to the house rolled open and shut by hand without the ability to be locked. The added safety features was the reason I selected this home for our vacation and I was quite disappointed that they didn’t function. We were advised that gangs had taken over the Playa Hundu beach that is very close to this house and accessible only by using the one access road to the subdivision. That left us a bit on edge. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the vacation.

Lovely charming house
Very spacious house, oceanfront, you can listen to the crashing waves all the time. Although certainly not a recent build, the house is full of charm and yesteryear glory, yet with all modern conveniences (A/C, dishwasher, washer/dryer, state-of-the-art mosquito screen on the porch). There are neighbors on both sides, but we never heard them. Osvaldo and Dirk were easy to communicate with and answered all our inquiries with patience.

Private, secluded property with great views
This property with stunning views is located in a remote and secluded area of the island, on a cliff with access to ocean by stairs. It is very quietб private? and cozy. There is a large deck with amazing view of the ocean a nearby land that is mostly untouched. There is no beach, but it is possible to access the ocean. Because the property is so secluded, the access road from Soto is fairly long (~3 miles), but it is very scenic with great views. Overall, we had a great time property, and communication with the owner and managers was very easy and pleasant. Thank you!

Perfect Caribbean Escape
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! After a long 20 months of COVID restrictions, we all needed this vacation and Curacao was the perfect escape. The house spacious, clean and was stocked with everything we needed. The location was picturesque, peaceful and remote (not easy to locate initially but worth the adventure; you definitely want to rent a car to explore the island). Highlights of the trip included climbing Mt. Christoffel, Shete Boka, Willemstad, the Ostrich Farm, and several beaches including Playa Porto Mari, Kokomo, Playa Piskado (snorkeling with turtles) and Playa Grandi. Local restaurants were excellent including Cactus Cafe in Westpunt (the African peanut soup with banana was excellent) and Shelterrock Paradise (family owned/operated; great food and hospitality). Snorkeling directly out from the house was some of the best on the island. The reef was healthy and vibrant with corals, diverse fish population and even eels and octopus. Inge and Dirk were ever so helpful with our orientation and periodic check-ins. They clearly wanted to ensure our needs were met. Oswaldo was excellent in his communications during this entire process, from booking thru re-booking last year due to travel bans, and guiding us to the property. He was very prompt with his replies and always so courteous! We highly recommend this property for couples, families or gathering of friends. We'd come back a second time!!

It was really hard to go home....
This is a fantastic property. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need inside and out. We have stayed in over 20 vrbos/aribnbs in the last 15 years and this home was the best appointed in terms of kitchen equipment, towels, linens, etc. that we have stayed in. If you stock up on food and drink at the big grocery store in town, there really is no reason to leave the house! The views. From laying in the pool during the day to the sunset to watching the stars/milky way right over your head. Just unbelievable. When the water is low, snorkeling right in front of the house will reveal amazing coral formations that we didn't see anywhere else around the island. (Jumping in from the rocks in front is ok but exiting water on the right of the house next door is necessary - walk over there and check it out before you go in and it will make sense) We rented tanks from a shop out west and had fantastic shore dives from the beach at the bottom of the hill. (Enter water to left of the jetty formation and the drop off is about 30 feet from the shore) If you want a guided dive, Brigette at B Diving at Casa Abao is your girl. It is very close by and has two really excellent shore dive routes. You absolutely need a rental car. But once you make the drive to the main road a few times, you get used to it and it seems like nothing. Two close by restaurants that we liked very much were Landhuis Klein Santa Martha and Bistro Lanternu. We even checked the schedule while we were still there so we could plan a return trip! Oswaldo, Dierk and Inge were super helpful and made the trip so easy. Rent this house....

Perfect Villa in Paradise
If you're looking for the best place to stay in Curacao, look no further, this villa is it. When you first arrive, you are greeted by property managers Dirk and Inge and are given a complete tour of the property. They live just a stones throw from the villa and will help you with anything you need. Osvaldo, the owner was excellent to deal with and very responsive. Always responded back to me within minutes. He even allowed me to switch my dates due to the island shutdown during the pandemic. Very accommodating with no penalty. The villa sits on a cliff and has the best view on the island. Snorkeling right in front on a great reef. You will need a rental car for this end of the island, very private and isolated, but worth it. It is so quiet there. Just the way I like it. You will find yourself spending all your time in the infinity pool, the view is breathtaking of the Caribbean. My wife Kim and I spent 2 weeks and had the vacation of our lives. Look no further, this is the place you want. Sincerely, Bobby Loesch -Pennsylvania

Wonderful villa, quiet location
Wonderful, clean, lovely villa in a very quiet area. General area felt very safe. Owner is responsive and the property managers are so friendly, helpful, and close by. Check in was easy; the property managers were waiting in the villa for us. The view from the back is spectacular. Convenient for excellent snorkeling. More generally, we chose Curacao because we heard the shore snorkeling was good - and that proved true - there is plenty of very calm water for safe snorkeling with an excellent variety of sea life (even when the sea is a little rough, head to Lagun or Piscado/Grande or Porto Marie for very calm protected water). Other details about the villa that we liked but haven't seen mentioned in other reviews: good selection of books including guide books, jigsaw puzzles, and a reef atlas. We would gladly rent this villa again. Great experience!
