The house is a wonderful escape. The beds are comfortable and the sound insulation makes for quiet sleeping. The upstairs deck gives a respite from the mosquitoes. The sliding doors onto the back patio are broken and don’t lock, so we strapped them together at night, although the fenced, gated property felt very safe. We missed having a microwave. The food just across the street was good though. The views are beautiful and if back in curaçao we would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed here for the first part of our vacation and loved the access to the ocean. We snorkeled a few times and did see some passing turtles one evening. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is a welcomed experience and the location of the home is convenient to the national park and some restaurants down the street. Unfortunately, we didn’t finish out our reservation due to an unforeseen issue, but the owner was more than accommodating with the situation. Excellent communication and very helpful with local recommendations.

The communication with Thalia was very good. The good things about the villa are very good (the view, bedrooms (the only rooms with AC), showers & restrooms, villa location), but there are some negatives (no hot water, the pool & outside in general need some TLC). I expected a bit more for the money, but perhaps that is typical for Curacao or any Caribbean island. So, overall I give it an average grade.

We loved our trip to Curacao and staying at this property! It is in a great location, close to some of the best beaches in Curacao. The check-in process was easy and the house itself is wonderful and fully stocked. The views are spectacular and the pool was a nice addition. We loved spending evenings at the house watching the sunset. Washing dishes was also a pleasant chore as the view from the kitchen sink is wonderful. :)There are many food options nearby. There is a local food place directly across the street with great food at affordable prices. They change the dinner options daily and we ate there several times. It was one of our kids’ favorite places (ages 10 and 12). Alternatively, you can go one block over and get Chinese take-out which was also very good, with large portions and reasonable prices. We tried a few times to go to the restaurant near Lagun Beach nearby (which we also heard was good) but was unsuccessful because they either closed early or were full. We were very happy with our stay at this property! Book it.

We had a great stay! The area is beautiful, quiet, and perfect for scuba. The view is excellent, and being able to swim right there was a highlight. The host was responsive, kind, and helpful. AC in the rooms was great for sleeping, and the open air style home was very comfortable.Lagun is great. The beach would be excellent if you like to lay out and relax. There are a few great restaurants nearby, and the convenience store right out front is just that..convenient!One thing to know before booking: there is no hot water. This was not advertised as having hot water, but if you are coming from a colder climate it is something many people will assume exists with a shower. That said, if you shower mid to late afternoon, around 4 pm, the water is often quite warm anyway.

This location in the north of Curacao was amazing, the pictures do not do it justice. The pool was surprisingly larger than expected! The space is clean and ideal for two couples. Two large bedrooms and bathrooms gave us a lot is space and privacy. You are right on the ocean for swimming and snorkeling which we did every day and the million dollar view was exceptional. Other beaches were nearing but we ended up staying at the house a lot because of the private access to the water. Thank you Thalia for your prompt and precise communication and recommendations. We would stay here again for sure!

Yemaya Villa is absolutely beautiful. Commutation with Thalia was spot on and was always available when needed. The Villa is located by the best beaches in Curacao. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the second-floor terrace watching the dolphins and sea turtles swim by. We also enjoyed diving from the platform and swimming with the dolphins and sea turtles as well. This is a perfect villa for a family of 4 on holiday.

Most Excellent Stay In Lagun

The property is simply stunning, with a small pool and ocean access down a set of stairs from the villa. Large sliding glass doors allow the trade winds to blow through the structure, keeping it cool. Both bedrooms are air conditioned, each with an ensuite bathroom.The cleanliness of the property is remarkable. Thalia, the property owner, is reachable anytime and very friendly and understanding.The ocean off the platform pictured is 20 feet deep and crystal clear.You do need to be aware that this villa is situated within the village of Laguna, so there will be some noise from neighbours, and the nearby church, but that did not detract from our holiday.If you're looking for hopping nightlife, probably best to look closer to Willemstad. This property is designed for relaxation and was just what the doctor ordered for us, who both have busy careers at home.I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Thalia.

The villa has direct access to the ocean. We had a lot of fun by jumping into the ocean from the lower platform. We also snorkeled quite a bit, water is so clear, color is like postcard . The view is spectacular as well. Have to give big applauses to the architect of the Villa, the villa is designed so creative and thoughtful, making it not only beautiful, also very practical, comfortable.

Beautiful View - Quiet Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this rental property in Lagun, Curacao. Set in a peaceful location on the island's north side, the home provided a perfect retreat, far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to the city for convenience.The house features two identical suites, each with comfortable king beds and full bathrooms, linked by a charming covered patio. The air conditioning was more than sufficient, keeping us cool despite the warm afternoon sun.A highlight of our stay was the plunge pool, complete with a beautiful palm tree in the center. The property is perched about 50 feet above the rocky shoreline, with a well-maintained stairway leading to a private ladder for easy access to the Caribbean waters. The views will provide many incredible photo opportunities.The kitchen was well-equipped for meal preparation, and we didn't miss having a washing machine or microwave. The public water in Curacao is excellent, eliminating the need for bottled water, and we enjoyed plenty of water pressure throughout our stay.Security was top-notch, with a remote-controlled electric gate ensuring our safety while we strolled to the nearby Bahia Resort restaurant without any concerns.Lastly, Thalia, our property manager, was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making our check-in process seamless.Overall, we highly recommend this property! Its blend of comfort, tranquility, and local charm made for an unforgettable vacation.

Unforgettable! A beautiful property in an amazing country!

Unforgettable! A beautiful property in an amazing country! Lagun and Westpunt area have some of the most amazing beaches we have had the pleasure of relaxing on! And this house is not to be missed! It’s an ideal location for exploring all the beaches along the West Coast, with some of the best snorkeling right in your own backyard. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the sounds of parrots, fishing right off our steps, snorkeling whenever we wanted to – which was AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE with how convenient it was! And after a full day of exploring multiple beaches via rented Jeep, it was great to just float in our backyard while watching the sunset. The house was fully equipped with everything you need from kitchen supplies, pool floats, fishing gear, SPF, bug spray, snorkeling equipment and much more. The beds were SO comfortable, the AC in the rooms helped with a great night’s sleep – we never even thought twice of not having AC in the foyer because the amazing breeze off the sea was perfection! We saw turtles and dolphins swim by our house on a few occasions as well! Thalia was a delight to work with – she even had a nice welcome gift of snacks, wine, and other helpful supplies waiting for us! She was very responsive, quick to do anything to accommodate and SO helpful pre-trip as well as during! One day, we wanted to make margaritas and the blender unfortunately wasn’t working – sure enough, she hand-delivered a brand new one an hour later! Do not miss this piece of paradise!

Jump right in to Yemaya Villa

Overall, we had a great stay at Yemaya Villa. The villa and setting were beautiful. The villa was clean and well decorated. Thalia provided a wonderful welcome basket along with other treats and amenities. We got to watch a pod of dolphins swim by from our patio and rainbows several mornings. The villa has two nearly identical bedrooms with on-suites, making it perfect for two couples. The white “greek isle like” steps down to the water were unique and the ability to jump into the blue water below was amazing. The location was convenient to two of the most picturesque beaches, Grot and Klein Knip. A small beach with a restaurant overlooking a beautiful cove is a short walk from the villa. We prefer to stay away from the cruise ship ports, so this location was perfect. If you want to be closer to restaurants and shops, you should stay in Willemstad. While the villa was elegant and aesthetically appealing , it is open-air and has a sort of a “one with nature” pagoda-like roof with open vents that birds can fly through in and out of the home. There are open vented windows without screens throughout the main living area which means pesky flies when you cook and mosquitoes in the evening. This may be a small price to pay for such a wonderful location, but it is good to know what to expect. The bedrooms are air conditioned so no concerns there. Thalia, our host was responsive, prompt, easy to work with, and accommodating. She epitomizes the definition of a Super Host.

Gorgeous sunsets!

Four of spent two weeks at this property. We watched the beautiful sunsets every night from the outside patio and ate our dinners on the outside table. The beds were very comfortable and the room air conditioners worked very well and kept a nice sleeping temperature. Because we were doing all our own cooking and not going out for meals, we did find the kitchen a little lacking in a few things, serving bowls, blender, large frying pan and the barbecue was pretty small for four people. But, the kitchen was nice to work in with big open windows and a nice breeze blowing in while we cooked. It was very disappointing that the ladder to the ocean was damaged by waves on our first day there and it took a week to get fixed. I do understand that things take longer on an island, however, we were told that this had also happened two years ago, so we felt that there should have been a contingency plan in place. When renting an ocean front house for water access and then not having that access for half the vacation is a pretty big deal. We also felt that the property owners brushed it off, saying, well, it could be worse, and offered nothing in compensation, even if only a token thing. On the positive side, every time we texted the property manager, she responded immediately. And it was lovely once we had water access and could swim right at out front. There are many beautiful beaches nearby and we visited quite a few of them. The snorkeling was great.

AMAZING!!!!!

Just back from a simply fabulous two-week stay at Yemaya Villa!! There aren't words . . . Myself and two friends absolutely cannot say enough great things about it. Thalia is a WONDERFUL host. Incredibly nice and attentive. She has thought of EVERYTHING. All those little touches like the welcome tray, the toiletries in each of the bathrooms, even bedside chocolates! Plenty of towels, pool floats, sunscreen, cooler, the list is long. THANK YOU! The villa itself is the epitome of living outdoors. We kept everything open and when it was time to retire for the evening, we closed the doors and turned on the AC. (Mainly because the mosquitos seemed to like us. If not for that -- those doors would have remained open as well.) The villa is set up very well to do your own cooking. Nothing like dining al fresco overlooking the beautiful sea! Speaking of the sea, there is great snorkeling right from the house. We were fortunate enough to see an adult green eel fully out in the open! It was AMAZING! If that weren't enough, having morning coffee with the dolphins that swam by was a real treat as well! Keep your eyes open -- they are out there! The location of the villa was perfect for us. So many beautiful places to see, snorkel, hike and explore! Very easy to get to and we felt so safe and secure! Don't hesitate! BOOK IT! You won't regret it. Thank you again for hosting us, Thalia!
