Casa Dora was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary trip to Aruba! It is less than a 5 minute drive to Palm Beach and the majority of bars and restaurants. The pool was perfect for two people to wind down at the end of the day. The host(s) were incredibly responsive and very helpful with anything we needed!
It was mine and my husbands first time to Aruba. Casa Dora was a perfect house with the cutest outdoor patio. So conveniently close to the beach (we loved going to Arashi Beach) just a quick car ride around the corner. Would definitely stay there again!!

thanks for the review. we are looking forward seeing your reservation for the next holiday. we have replaced all windows and added screens and recently bought a new flatscreen TV and air conditioning unit. everybody is welcome, for $95 per night.
Perfect size for a couple . 10 min walk to Marriott and beach. House very clean and has all you need. Small market in walking distance. Pool smaller but great for a cool down when hanging on the patio. Will definitely come back for our next stay.
We wanted a relaxing trip, quiet place walkable to the beach. Casa Dora fit the bill. We had our own splash pool, nice patio area and about a 15 min walk to Palm Beach. A 10 minute walk to grocery store. It was easy to order a cab when we did not want to walk. If you want to explore a rental car is needed. There is street parking on the side. Thank you Jeanne, Patrick and Sascha
We had difficulty finding the house on the street because of the numbering system. The key pad to get the key to the house qas tricky and difficult to open. The key to the safe gets stuck and might need replacing. Once we were settled in we loved the house, the pool and the yard. A but noisy because of the traffic. Jeannine was quick to respond to our messages. Jean came to clean the pool on a regular basis and Patrick the property manager was attentive. All and alll we had a great stay and would return.
This house is exactly as described. Clean. Delightful. Close enough to activities however far enough away from the hustle and bustle from the main drag of Aruba. The pool is refreshing. The porches are perfect for lounging and reading.
Somethings to think about: 1. the stand up
shower is small. Not for a tall or larger person. For the ladies it is difficult to shave your legs. My fix was to shave outside of the shower (at the sink) then take the shower afterwards. It worked well. The shower is not HOT. It is Aruba hot đ. However the temp of the shower is perfect for the temp outside. (Jan high was 80-82.)
2. There is no local phone in the house. Making local calls are on you and your cell service.
Hope you enjoy your stay in Aruba as we did!

Wonderful relaxing vacation
Jeanine has done a great job making sure all the comforts of home are provided at Casa Dora. She provides dishes, pots and pans if you want to cook. The home is clean and has a great "beach" feel. Air conditioners worked great, only used them in the bedrooms. The front rooms had a lovely breeze coming in the windows. Great patio with comfy furniture, wonderful hammock and small pool for dipping in to cool off. There is a grill too.
This property is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. We loved the Palm Beach area, so many bars and restaurants to choose from. The bus stop is right at the Marriott and cabs are easy to get as well. We would spend the day at the beach and walk our way into town for dinner.
There is a helpful blue binder in the home, be sure to read through it. Great little grocery store in walking distance if you only need a few things. We grabbed fruit and snacks and lunch items. Jeanine also has pamphlets for various tourist attractions on the book shelf along with the library of books.
I would highly recommend this property. I stayed with my sister but you could easily have 2 couples or a family of 4-5 be comfortable. I would definitely come back to Casa Dora

Dear Kathy, thank you so much for your kind words! Hope to welcome you again in the future.
The photos on this listing don't do this property the justice it deserves. Once we arrived, we realized the furnishings are actually better than the photos depict. The pool was bigger than we thought as well as it was about 4.5 feet deep; abit more than a plunge pool. I originally thought it would be more of a kiddie pool depth. We were pleasantly surprised! This isn't a "con" against this property just an FYI... keep that door closed!! I walked out only long enough to grab my drink for a refill (Literally 5-7 seconds) and a lizard ran in! LOL! We didn't care, it is an island and they do eat other bugs. We did eventually get the little guy out a couple days later. They are QUICK! TIP for bathroom: the outlet on the wall will work when you turn on the switch outside the bathroom door; it took a me until day three to figure that out. :) Also, there is an additional traditional coffee maker in the large cabinet where the dishes are located; it was on the bottom right when I was there. It's small but it worked just fine for 2 people. The coffee make on the counter is a pod using machine. (Not Kureig; the smaller version). We would love to return soon! TIP: travel on off days and take the earliest flight available to arrive and depart. You'll save some headaches at the airport.

Wonderful Aruba vacation
My husband and I stayed at Casa Dora for 11 days in April 2018. The house is exactly as the pictures shown on this site. Kitchen is well equiped with everything you need to cook as well as spices, oil, plasic wrap and aluminium paper. The BBQ was great to grill meats purchased at Super Food. Wi-Fi worked well. We enjoyed the small pool to cool down after a day at the beach. We were very happy to find the beach chairs and the cooler behind a wooden pannel near the front door; we used them every day. The air conditionned worked well (we used it only at night) since we were off to the beach all day. We did self check-in and out and it worked well. Someone comes by twice a week to clean the pool. The house is perfect for a couple or even a couple with small children because the second bedroom is small and equipped with two single beds. The bathroom is small but it did the job. We recommend this house.
It is preferable to have a car so you can explore all the beautiful beaches in Aruba. We spent our time between Arashi beach (for the great snorkeling spot where a lot of catamaran come with tours) and Eagle beach because it is beautiful, quiet and you can do long walks; both beaches within 5 or 10 minutes by car. We got to the beach around 8:30 am each morning and we were able to secure a free palapa to put our chairs under. If you come later, you probably need to rent an umbrella parasol. Palm beach is not our style (very busy beach with lot of activities and people but it might attract a different crowd. Looking forward to our next Aruba vacation.

Aruba Stay
This place is perfect for adults only to stay. It is near beaches, resorts and the marketplace. Upon our arrival we were notified by the owner that there was a hole in the ceiling of one of the bedrooms due to a leak because of the rain. A negative aspect of this place was the infestation of cockroaches which according to the owner it was also due to the rain. We enjoyed the plunge pool which was perfect for a group of 3. The bathroom is small but manageable. Overall, this place was comfortable for the time we stayed in Aruba. Jeanine was reachable at any time and would answer promptly to any questions or concerns.
Lovely little house (I know itâs an apartment but it doesnât feel like one). So close to everything. Communication with Jeannine is quick and check in easy. Love that thereâs snorkel gear and coolers and beach chairs. We cook breakfast and lunch âat homeâ so the kitchen is perfectly supplied for our needs.
The pool is lovely and refreshing after a hot day at beach or hiking. Itâs also nice to cool off before bed.
This is our 4th trip to Aruba and this is possibly our best rental yet.
Tip: the Marriott hotels right across Irausquin have free parking, Starbucks, gelato, great gift stores, and lovely sunsets. There is a local artisan market there on Tuesday and Thursday nights 6-9 with amazing handmade gifts.
Canât wait to return again.
This home is wonderful. It has everything you need for a great stay. The pool is wonderful to take a dip in to cool off. It is close to the beaches and shopping. We really loved the breeze while sitting outside.
Wir waren 2 Wochen in dieser Wohnung und es war einfach traumhaft! Man hatte alles, was man brauchte und mit dem Mietwagen konnten wir ĂŒberall leicht hinfahren. Die Betten war sehr gemĂŒtlich, der Pool genau richtig! Jeanine hat all unsere Fragen schnell beantwortet und war sehr hilfsbereit. Es war schön ruhig in der Ecke, Entspannung pur. :-) Wir können diese Wohnung uneingeschrĂ€nkt empfehlen!
Great location as home base for all amenities and day excursions. Refreshing well maintained dipping pool. Very comfortable bed in master room. Very close to Eagle, Palm and Arashi beaches. Well secured villa and safe neighbourhood.
Property was exactly as described, transaction and experience were awesome. The location is great, we had a car so we were able to quickly get to anything we wanted, but not a long walk to beaches (1m). Street was busier than I expected as it is on route from resort area to main interior route, but we had no issues. Place had everything we needed for the week. We stopped at SuperFoods on way to property, but could have saved us some money if we would have checked in first as there food bags, several condiments, etc. that we would not have had to buy. I will definately consider it a place to stay on our next visit to Aruba, sure hated to leave. Communication and directions were spot on. Thanks for making our first trip to the happy island a good one.
We so enjoyed our stay at Casa Dora. Close to all beaches. Clean, fully stocked. The pool wad so refreshing and a great way to finish off the day. The owner very responsive to all questions. I would highly recommend Cash Dora.
Everything is exactly as listed. Property is in walking distance to Marriott hotel, and bus lines (which we took almost everyday! Get a day pass!) and supermarkets. Super friendly island, and had no issues at all. Canât wait to come back and stay here again!
