About this property

Traditional Dutch Antilles style home with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, located in the quiet residential neighborhood Sabadeco, about 4 miles from downtown Kralendijk.

Large porch (half screened) leads to spacious sundeck with shade from three Royal Palms. Path through lovely native plant garden leads directly to neighborhood reef. Green space often is filled with loras and hummingbirds. Wonderful diving and snorkeling down a ladder at the end of the path (dive site is between Barkadera and Oil Slick for those who are already familiar with Bonaire’s epic shore diving). Outdoor shower, rinse tank and clothesline for afterwards.

Return from diving to well-equipped kitchen and dining space for up to 10 people (one dining area is screened which is so nice on a buggy evening). Large living room for games and streaming services. Kitchen includes stovetop, oven, coffee maker, full sized refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and dishwasher. Clothes washer (no dryer) in pantry.

Inside, the home is intentionally simple with a focus on the beautiful outdoor setting. Three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, have king beds and doors that open to the outside. Master bath has double sinks and showers as well as a safe in the walk-in closet. Bedrooms have glass windows, as well as shutters and screens, if you prefer to use the air conditioning units rather than the ceiling fans.

Primary living spaces feature grand doors and windows with screens and shutters to catch the famous Bonaire ocean breeze that the house was designed for (as is typical in Bonaire, living spaces other than bedrooms are not air conditioned).

Soft teak floors, high ceilings with ceiling fans, tiled baths and kitchen, and plenty of lounge furniture all reinforce the beach vibe.

Neighborhood is very quiet and residential; several houses are permanent residents. Sabadeco is very close to the Northern dive sites and beautiful coastal road. Ocean path is shared with 3 other homes. High speed internet with Wifi included. Parking in driveway fits 2-3 dive trucks.

Property manager available full time for anything you may need or questions you might have.

This is a perfect house for a family or dive group looking for a relaxing nature-filled Bonaire experience.

Perfect vacation home

From check in to check out everything ran smoothly. The back deck is difficult to summarize. There were birds and lizards everywhere and it was so peaceful and quiet. We dove several days without leaving the property, the ocean was right there! All of us enjoyed our stay and hope we will be able to visit again.

Spectacular, Pristine, Peaceful, Private, Ultra Clean, and Safe Property

This exquisite home/casa was one of the finest places I've ever stayed. Here's why. The home is located on a cul-de-sac in a very safe neighborhood on a large lot that has the most amazing natural backyard (full of tropical birds and butterflies) that provides you with a path down to a private coastal marine sanctuary where you can dive, snorkel, and/or just swim in crystal clear water full of coral and unlimited number of fish, etc. The views from this coastal sanctuary are wonderful too, night or day. The home itself is very clean, full of lovely furniture and tropical decorations. The kitchen is fully equipped (with a grocery store about 6 miles away). The air conditioned bedrooms are very nice with very comfortable beds and wonderful showers/tubs. The city is a mere 10-12 minute drive with very minimal traffic most of the time. The icing on the cake is the extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable property manager. He will graciously help you with whatever you need (including airport pick up/return and a rental truck) and will do so with a genuine smile every time. The host is also just wonderful. She will also help you with whatever you need. Her restaurant recommendations were awesome. I hope to return to Bonaire and if I do, I will be sure to stay here again. Do not hesitate to book this fine place if you plan on going to Bonaire. Thank you so much for a first class place to stay.

Great place to hang out and dive

We've stayed at a number of properties, visiting bonaire annually for dive trips. This year a good friend and I both have small children and came with our significant others and one child each. We took turns diving and spending our surface interval with the kids. This property was lovely and the private dive site was excellent. Property manager was very helpful and could not have asked for a better stay. Will definitely look forward to rebooking this next year.

Casa Mira Bonaire

Our stay at Casa Mira was one of the best experiences we have had renting a property. The property was clean and well stocked with necessary items for our stay. The views from the deck as well as the path to the water are breathtaking. If that wasn’t enough, the host of our stay Greg, was the best host/manager we have ever experienced. He was extremely helpful throughout the stay with whatever we needed, and made us feel at home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Callahan

We were fortunate to buy this house after staying in it as guests on a family diving trip. We absolutely fell in love with Bonaire and wanted to continue the previous owner's tradition of hosting.

Why they chose this property

Sabadeco was the only place we considered when looking for a Bonaire home. We love the quiet residential vibe and proximity to the fabulous Northern dive sites. Town is only a short drive if we want to shop or go out to dinner.

What makes this property unique

The privacy of this property is very unusual in Bonaire. We have an extra lot and lots of green space nearby and the immediate ocean and diving access is superb.
