**Headline: Perfect home base for our family of 12 — five stars plus**We stayed 9 nights at ArubaHouse with our family of 12, and it was the perfect home base for our Aruba trip. The location in Malmok is ideal — close to Palm Beach, the restaurants, and everything we did all week, yet quiet and private when we came home at night.The house itself handled 12 people comfortably — plenty of room for everyone, and a wonderful back patio and pool that became the heart of our days. Our granddaughters, 9 and 5, lived in the pool, and the patio was where we gathered every evening. Snorkeling at the shipwreck across from the house was a highlight for our family as well.One highlight: a private chef dinner for our whole family at the huge dinner table, with Chef Jim and his assistant cooking and serving a beautiful meal while we just enjoyed being together. A memory we'll keep.Holly and Anneke were wonderful hosts — everything was ready, everything worked, and we felt looked after the whole stay. Five stars plus. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend ArubaHouse to any family looking for a real home in Aruba.Thank you !
