Caribbean Netherlands vacation rentals

Check in with the staff was easy. The unit is very clean, smelled good and had an amazing view. Everything you could possibly need was in the condo from cooking utensils, pots and pans, crock pot, toaster and even pantry items (salt, pepper, spices, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, etc.) to get us started. The staff at sand Dollar was friendly and accomodating. We were a party of 4 adults and the set up in the unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths was perfect. It afforded privacy as well as ample space for all of us to congregate together. We dove 4 days of our stay and the convenience of ground floor living was awesome for carrying our dive gear to our truck or to the beach in front of the unit for diving the house reef. We enjoyed sitting outside the unit in the chairs provided and watching the sunset. The screen porch provided shelter from the afternoon sun and also a place to eat lunch, dinner and have drinks in the evening. The only thing I would change is providing wash cloths for the bathrooms. We previously stayed in another unit and they also did not provide wash cloths so we knew to bring our own just in case.

Just left Serene Dream (reluctantly), could’ve stayed there for much longer. The unit has everything one could possibly want /need, including all the basic spices, olive oil etc. As an added bonus, there’s a wonderfully affectionate little brown/beige cat named Shiva that lives next door who visited regularly when we sat on the deck for breakfast. Greg (host) could not nave been any kinder or more helpful. He checked in regularly to see if he could help us in any way with recommendations/directions etc. The unit itself is lovely and precisely as shown in the pictures listed. We only used the A/C in the bedroom overnight but it worked very well and quickly cooled the room. Not sure about the A/C in the main area as we only used to pedestal fan. Loved that there’s proper hangers for wetsuits/BCDs on the deck, so helpful and easy. Really enjoyed the location at the main access point to the marinas, so lovely to watch the sailboats and many pleasure craft going buy. Sunsets are pretty awesome to watch with little Shiva too:). The small complex has a lovely swimming pool with an abundance of comfy chairs that seem to mostly sit empty as visitors seem to be on the go all the time. You definitely need to rent a vehicle when in Bonaire as it’s not at all pedestrian friendly with few sidewalks, narrow roads with no real shoulder. Avis is right across the street so it’s pretty easy but there’s many other rental car options. Book this unit with confidence, you honestly can’t go wrong!
