About this property

❤ Exceptional oceanfront vacation ✔

You will not find a place closer to some of the best diving spots on the island. Punt Vierkant, the Lake, Angel City, and even the famous wreck of the Hilma Hooker are literally right in front of your door. From your beachfront terrace with private pool you will enjoy amazing sunsets, more often than not spiced up by flamingos and dolphins.

The property is located only 10 minutes from town or the airport, yet well away from the noise and hustle of tourists, airplanes and cruise ships. One of the world's windsurfing hot spots and spectacularly beautiful ecosystems, Lac, and the equally famous Kite Beach are both a mere 10 minute drive away.

This exclusive seafront location has its own beach and a selection of Bonaire´s most popular dive sites right in front of the house. The luxurious villa is maintained and equipped to the highest standard and is surrounded by a small but lush and colorful tropical garden with ample parking space.

The very spacious villa consists of three floors, and comfortably sleeps 8 adults in five air-conditioned bedrooms with three bathrooms. The villa was specifically designed to let the ever present Caribbean breeze flow through the entire interior, providing a very pleasant atmosphere. All doors, windows, and shutters are protected by mosquito nets.

Access to the beach and sea is from the terrace. It is literally no more than three steps to the sea, so the dive sites are easily accessible to all ages. The house is equipped with an emergency generator in case of power outages on the island.

Enjoy Bonaire in secluded luxury, at the Casa Esmeralda!

This was the best VRBO rental I’ve experienced. Kittie, the host, was accommodating, gracious and available. The home was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. Rooms were nicely appointed, beds comfortable, views spectacular. I would highly recommend this home and host to anyone seeking a rental on Bonaire. We loved every minute.

Beautiful home and location! Diving and snorkeling onsite. Kittie was so quick to respond to requests and any issues during our stay. All the bedrooms have air conditioning which was much needed. The common areas had great ocean breezes but it does get warm mid day. We had an ant issue but Kittie was quick to try to resolve it. The ocean views were breathtaking!

Beautiful location for a family diving and snorkeling trip

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Bonaire at Casa Esmeralda, communication on our arrival was easy and the timing of check in was great for the arrival time of flights to the island. We were 7 family members including 2 children and we all had an amazing time. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space for us to spread out inside and outside, with welcome shady spots to enjoy the outdoors as well as the pool, and the view of the stars from the house was great. The house also was very well equipped with snorkeling equipment and other water toys. Beds were comfortable and the AC worked very well when we used it at night. It was our first time shore diving and proximity to many of the best sites in the island was incredible, with one site right off the back of the house and many others a 5-10 minute drive or less, with a slightly longer drive to the northern sites (we saw turtles, octopus, tarpon, a spotted eagle ray, eels and more--both on snorkel and diving outings). We utilized Flamingo Diving which is essentially next door. The sand beach by the Kite City Food truck was about a 10 minute drive and perfect for the kids to play and snorkel, with a reef teeming with eels and fish a short walk or swim away from the beach. We ended the trip with a sailing trip through Solobon sailing, highly recommend them as well. Only recommendation is we only had one four wheel drive car, recommend only getting those as to go to the national park in the north it's needed.

Excellent Family Vacation

This was our first trip to Bonaire with our 1 year old grandson. We took turns watching him while others dove. It was a great spot for the family. The pool was key. It had shade in parts of it during most of the day which was very nice for a baby. I did several dives off back - the easiest way to get in was to go through the adjacent (empty) lot. I used the back rinse area basically to rinse off sand but used the rinse tanks at Belmar (Buddy Dive) to clean the gear each day. There are 2 closer shops (Flamingo and Dive Friends Bonaire) that would be a little more convenient to this house. (I didn't do enough research prior to the trip.)

Exceptional!!!

We had a truly wonderful week at this beautiful property - Casa Esmeralda! Everything was as described. The hosts were absolutely lovely, friendly, responsive, and proactive (addressing a "pump" issue before we even knew it was an issue.) The hosts even brought us some fresh Wahoo that they caught during our stay - all cleaned and ready for the grill. It was delicious. The location is great for snorkelling and diving (Flamingo Dive Shop is walkable from the house, as is a fun casual restaurant/resort - Ocean Oasis). It's also close to everything but totally secluded from the neighboring houses. You never even see the Cruise Ships except at night as they are leaving the island! The reef out in front of the property was great for snorkelling and there is an easy access point into the water at a beach less than 1/4 of a kilometer south of the house (called "The Lake"). Fantastic holiday!

Awesome Oceanfront Villa

We had a great time at Casa Esmeralda! Kittie and Jan were excellent hosts and the villa was exactly as pictured. The views were spectacular with regular sightings of dolphins and flamingos. The pool and pool table were very relaxing and enjoyable and the snorkeling directly from the villa was fantastic. The villa and recommendations from the hosts really made our vacation wonderful!

Beautiful spot in quiet location

We had a wonderful time during our stay. It is south enough out of town so it is a bit quieter than other locations. We had wonderful snorkeling/scuba right out our door with lots of turtle sightings along with a big spotted eagle ray! Kitty and Jan made checkin/out very easy and answered any questions promptly. The top floor bedroom has an amazing view of the ocean but the bottom floor has none as to be expected. We also played pool/billiard almost everyday!

Wonderful modern home

I cannot say enough about Jan and Kittie. They answered every question we had within minutes, provided references for all activities, restaurants and were very friendly. The house was in a wonderful location for those who like to be close to town but not in the bustle of it. The snorkeling and diving were great at the house and there were several great sites very close. The house itself was great and the layout provided privacy for everyone with the three levels. I would definitely rent this house again in the future. Really wise we could have stayed longer.

The villa is central to everything. The views are spectacular . You are less than 10 minutes away from the airport. The owners were always available if we had any questions. The villa is one of the best places you can stay at in Bonaire. Jan was very nice and took care of us even when there was a minor miscommunication with the booking. We will definitely come back to this villa. Highly recommend.
