Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Caribbean Netherlands

We loved staying at Caren’s! The location was excellent, the view was phenomenal–all just as presented. Caren was available and helpful but never invasive. I truly felt like we had a private space the entire time. The accommodations were modern, clean and functional. We were thrilled to get access to the rooftop terrace, even though we rented a lower unit. There were no guests staying upstairs during our visit, so Caren graciously let us use the rooftop when we wanted, which was magical. Amazing views; perfect sunsets. Would definitely stay here again. The beautiful views, convenient location, excellent communication and utopian surroundings more than made up for it! Thank you so much for a lovely experience. We will be back!

Saba was a great vacation spot, and Compass Cottage was the perfect villa for us. People coming to Saba should be aware that this was not a lie-on-the-beach Caribbean vacation. You walk everywhere, and the hiking/walking can be rigorous (but beautiful). The walk to/from town is about 12 minutes, (but it is a bit of a climb up the hill). Windward Side is definitely where you want to stay. Compass Cottage was a relaxing and private home for a week. Mark was very responsive and helpful. The Saba community is warm and welcoming. Highly recommend Compass Cottage - and Saba!

Had an incredible stay in Bonaire. We rented the entire house and loved having our meals outside. Couldn't recommend this location higher, the photos don't do it justice. Also the convenience of the dive shop next door cannot be beat.

Sarah was amazing!! The house was extremely well cleaned, stocked and was a convenient drive to great restaurants. Sarah was very responsive and helpful!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Sarah!!

De woning is qua locatie zeer goed. Het centrum, winkels, restaurants etc. Alles is beloopbaar ongeveer 10 minuten lopen. Alles in de woning qua voorzieningen zijn er. De interieur van de woning vond ik mooi, met de hoge plafonds. Evenals de ruimtes in alle kamers zijn groot. Ik heb een ontspannende tijd gehad in een rustige omgeving. Dank je wel Ruthgainy.

Just had a fantastic two week stay here in Bonaire. Everything was as described. Having a grocery store right across the road and a great restaurant 5 minute walk away. The best snorkelling we had was at the condo. Easy water access. Gert was quick to always answer any questions and provide lots of info. Will definitely rebook if we get back to Bonaire

Beautiful villa with all the amenities. Large veranda steps from beach with excellent snorkeling. For divers and snorkelers, there is a large dedicated space for washing and hanging gear, which also has plenty of clothes lines for drying clothes. Ample space for outdoor dining with clean, stocked propane grill. Pool area is well appointed with warm shower and foot wash, uniquely shaped pool, bathroom and outdoor lounge chairs and dining area. Beds were comfortable and bathroom facilities were spacious and had warm water. Kitchen was well stocked. We cooked nearly every meal at home because the house had all needed cooking gear and is a short drive from several excellent supermarkets. Sunsets on the veranda were breathtaking. Highly recommend! 

From the moment we exited the airport upon arrival, Fenna was there to assist us with any questions we had. So nice to have a friendly face meeting us, and it was very helpful to follow her to the house, and have a quick tour. The place is so tastefully done! Don’t let the fact that the home is made of two sea containers dissuade you. You can’t tell! It’s cool and decorations were top-of-the-line. The location is within 1.5 miles of the main area of the Kralendijk. We rented a truck and were so glad for this as the roads are rough on the island, AND we wanted to tour Washington National Park. Grocery stores are plentiful, and several are a quick drive/walk around the corner. We loved the early mornings sitting by the pool, watching the sunrise. We found it very private as the landscaping is quite lush, and growing fast! We did hear chickens, donkeys, and a neighbor kid’s motor bike, but we brought a sound machine, and had undisturbed sleep. We SO look forward to returning!

Ik ben een maand verbleven in het appartement en ik heb het als zeer prettig ervaren! Ik kwam in de avond aan en werd hartelijk ontvangen. Het appartement zelf was precies volgens de foto’s en beschrijving, erg fijn. Het appartement ligt centraal wat het makkelijk maakt om richting het centrum te gaan. Qua geluid heb je soms een paar honden verderop in de straat die blaffen maar dat hoort er bij ;) Als ik 1 minpuntje zou moeten bedenken is dat het afwasrekje voor de vaat bij aankomst niet helemaal blinkend schoon was, maar het aanrecht had ook een gedeelte waarop je de vaat kon laten uitlekken. Kortom; een fijn en schoon appartement gelegen op een centrale en rustige locatie. Zeker een aanrader!

We had a great stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a spacious private terrace and convenient storage for our diving gear. The well-maintained garden and pool were lovely, and the location was perfect. Parking was available right in front. We’ll definitely book again for our next visit!

AMAZING IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE! The location is perfect..can walk to best Dutch Market for food shopping or driving there is 2 min! 5 min drive to downtown, 15-20 minute drives to dive/snorkel spots! The lil apartment is so clean and cozy and all basic amenities are provided (tp, dish soap, trash bags). We kept the windows closed when we were out and open when we were there..ALL windows covered so no mosquitos/bugs....hardly used the AC as the wind is constant! David and his wife are beautiful and kind hosts. They are quiet and give you privacy, but are also right there and available for anything! They both surprised me with singing and music for my bday..very special wonderful people! We feel like we found the BEST STAY in BONAIRE and we will be returning and only staying here! The most magical snorkeling/diving stay ever and we have ben all over the world! It felt like we were right at home and we were sad to leave. Oh, and the bed is SO comfortable! Perfect place for a couple!! A++++

We absolutely loved staying here! Location was great, not in the busy part of Bonaire. It was close to many restaurants and walkable to snorkel/dive sites. Vanessa was very helpful throughout our stay.

Nous avons toujours communiqué avec Anthony et sa femme. Ils sont très chaleureux et très souriant et surtout quand il y a un probleme ils le règle immédiatement. Quand je reviendrai à Bonaire c'est sur que je vais séjourner à Soant. Merci beaucoup. Vous avez rendez notre séjour très agréable !!

Our stay was great! This is a 3rd floor walk up apartment. The photos don't reflect how big it really is. There is only AC in the bedroom. It really isnt needed in the main area as there is a beautiful breeze that flows right through the unit. Only thing we found was that if the breeze slowed down, the bugs could come in as there were no screens. Had all the amenities we needed including a dishwasher We always found a place to park and a car is pretty much needed for this location. Communication with the host was great and we hope to return again someday!

We had such a wonderful stay. Desiree is the kindest and most helpful host. She made the entire experience great and helped accommodate our requests and provided helpful info. The place is wonderful. Bed is comfy and AC keeps it cool at night. The kitchen is really well stocked and the place came with all the basics. The outdoor space is lovely and such a nice place to hang out. The inside is small but plenty of space for 2 people and the outdoor space is huge. Walking distance to everything in town and easy parking. Definitely recommend to anyone going to Bonaire!

Tolle Unterkunft mit grossem Badezimmer. Alles war blitzsauber. Simone hat hat uns sogar auch vom Flughafen abgeholt, einfach wunderbar. Wir bekamen viele Tipps für die Umgebung. Das Gastgeberpaar ist super freundlich und sehr unkompliziert. Auf der Insel ist es empfehlenswert ein Auto zu mieten, dieses kann direkt neben der Unterkunft parkiert werden. Ich kann nur eine grosse Empfehlung aussprechen für diese Unterkunft, würde sie jederzeit wieder buchen.

Thanks Corinne. We had a great time. The location was great. Close to town and easy to head south. The kitchen and bedrooms were exactly what we needed for our stay. The deck was perfect for morning coffee. The air conditioning worked perfect as it was pretty hot and humid. Snorkelling directly from the dock and to the right was good. We saw a turtle! It was fun to watch wildlife including an Osprey catching a fish right from our deck. It was so easy to get to the good snorkelling sites with our truck plus we were surprised how much there was to see and do on such a small island. Koos was super helpful. He gave us a map to get around and arranged for our truck rental. He met us at the airport and had arranged to pick up some groceries as we arrived late in the evening. He is a great guy. It was a nice communal area on the deck to meet fellow travellers and also owners. Everyone was very friendly. Thanks again for everything. Kevin and Brenda

Right on the water with a good dive/snorkeling access. the view is amazing and the screened in porch has a great view of the water. staff at Sand Dollar were friendly and helpful. Kitchen is stocked with dishes and pans to do as much cooking as we wanted to. beds were comfortable and everything was clean. we'll be back!

Lovely condo in a great location. It was super clean and everything looked new and was in good working order. It was great to be able to completely open the sliding glass doors and have the screened in porch. I appreciated the small touches like having the front door key in a lock box on the door. We didn't have to keep track of keys! The plants around the back door made it feel like a home. There is a little beach with a roped off swimming area at the Sand Dollar which was lovely for a quick dip. It was super convenient to have a dive shop right next door. There are also lots of good restaurants options with in walking distance.

One block from the water, 5 min walk to reasonably priced grocery store, the screened in porch was wonderful to keep the mosquito’s at bay. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to prepare a meal or bake Xmas cookies. I only used one of the 2 bedrooms but between the a/c and fan each night it was perfect for sleeping, comfy bed. The community pool was easily accessible and clean. Caroline was very helpful and responded to any questions quickly. She made me aware of the tourist tax that must be paid before you get thru customs. You can prepay this before you reach Bonaire making it an easy entry. I was on the island for a wedding but you are located between 2 Dive operators if that is your pleasure. Quiet but don’t be alarmed when you hear a donkey early in the morning. My only negative was purchasing an extra fan from the store “Famousa” it worked less than 24hrs and they wouldn’t exchange or refund, so stay away from this store… poor customer service.

I stayed here for a month and Everything about my stay was amazing - the place itself, the cleanliness, location. Karen and her husband were very kind and helpful and always willing to answer any questions I had right away. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Bonaire!

This is our 2nd trip to Bonaire, and Ann's condo is the perfect place for us. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient for our diving. It provides easy access to the ocean, Bari Reef, and the dive company, Dive Friends. There are restaurants close by, and it is a very short drive into town. Thank you, Ann, for another wonderful vacation at your condo!

Debby was very helpful even before we booked the property. Once we booked, she also took care of our car rental and diving reservation. She made dinner reservations for us for our first night in Bonaire, and had many recommendations for places to eat and things to do. If you’re a diver, this is a great location. I highly recommend it! Debby is super responsive as well! Whenever I had a question, it was easy to get a hold of her.

Fantastic spot on the island! The view is incredible and it’s just close enough to town to enjoy restaurants but also far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet! We came on a diving vacation so we found the rinse tank available on-site extremely useful. We also really enjoyed the fact that this place is very well stocked. It has a fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms, lots of bath & beach towels, shopping bags etc. They even have a cooler which we used to keep our drinks and snacks cold during the day when out driving from dive site to dive site. This place is also very close to our favourite restaurant (El Bigote - must try!!) on the island so it was very convenient. Karin was incredible in welcoming us and gave us a lot of information about the island when we arrived. We will definitely be back!
