We truly loved our stay at Shore House! My family spent the week here & we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The villa had everything that we needed. Loved that we all our own bathrooms! The beach at the end of the street was amazing! Tons of snorkeling, beautiful sand, not crazy crowded. Our hosts were the absolute best! Excellent communication! Always available to help us & even scheduled massages for us! Definitely stay here! It’s the best!

The property was amazing. We were a family of 8 and it was perfect. The Villa itself had so many amenities. Close to the beach and beautiful pool when you wanted to stay home and relax in the back porch/pool area!! Will definitely be returning to the Boca Catalina Villas!!

We had the best family vacation here in Aruba! Rueben & Geraldine definitely go above & beyond to make sure everything is wonderful. The air conditioner unit in the master stopped working correctly and they had it fixed while we were at the beach! What a blessing! Everything was so easy & check in and check out so seamless. They also answered all my questions ahead of time and even arranged a car rental. We really enjoyed Boca Catalina and Arashi beaches for snorkeling as well as Eagle Beach for relaxing. If we return to Aruba we will DEFINITELY want to stay here again!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are truly happy to hear you had such a great family vacation with us.
It means a lot that you felt taken care of and that everything went smoothly from start to finish. We are especially glad we could resolve the AC quickly so you could keep enjoying your time without any stress.
It sounds like you made the most of the island with Boca Catalina, Arashi, and Eagle Beach. Those are some of our favorite spots too.
Thank you again for your kind words. We would absolutely love to welcome you and your family back to Catalina Villas anytime.
Property was perfect, they went above and beyond to cater to our needs!

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great stay in Aruba!
This property was so modern and upscale. Beautifully decorated and the pictures are exactly what's on line. Right at the beach. It was 8 girlfriends and we all had bathrooms with our rooms and it was a half bathroom downstairs. We ever come back this is where we'll stay. The host sent text and checked on us to see if we needed anything. Loved it

Beautiful property and Ruben was spectacular. Every need was met. I
I would definitely recommend staying at this property. Location is within walking distance of the beach and quiet area. I absolutely loved the place and the owner was so sweet and helpful.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The house was amazing and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach couldn’t beat and loved walking around the beautiful coast. Close to everything, but we enjoyed the quieter area!
This is a great property in a really nice location. The property was nice and clean and the property owner was all that we could ask for. Would highly recommend.
Loved the house, pool, location all of it. Master bed comfortable and private. The location is great. Short cab rides away from most everywhere. Beach at end of the street was lovely and not crowded. Had the best time. Love Aruba!
Amazing Property-Perfect Location to Boca Catalina Beach
Highly Recommend if you have a big group. We stayed here with our family for a week, it was such an awesome location. Walk across the street to Boca Catalina Beach, 1 block from Tres Trapi Beach, 10 min walk to Arashi Beach! The house was immaculate and well laid out, everything you need for a stress-free vacation! Owner was super responsive anytime I had a question, etc. Definitely will be back!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review!
It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’re so glad the home—and its location—made your stay in Aruba special. Being able to walk to Boca Catalina, Tres Trapi, and Arashi really is a dream for beach lovers! I’m happy to hear the layout worked well for your group and that everything felt easy and stress-free. Your kind words about communication mean a lot, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
All the best
We had a great time! The house and the location are excellent. The host is very nice, he had answered all our questions and provided all the info we needed. We asked for extra beach chairs and he provided them....
Check in and check out process was seamless.
Geraldine was simply incredible! Super responsive and checked in to make sure we always had everything that we needed and more. The pictures accurately show this beautiful space that was welcoming and beyond relaxing. Also, the private chef from Grapeleaf she recommends is worth every penny! Could not have been more enjoyable. The location is close to everything from the beach, horseback riding, ATVs, etc, We were glad we rented a car as we explored the island on our own and had groceries, etc. Again, we would be put 10 stars if we could!

This property was exactly as described and we had zero issue during our stay! Perfect walking distance to tres trapi where we walked to see the turtles every morning. Very safe area, very clear property. We will be back!
What a wonderful villa with wonderful management!We planned a girls trip to celebrate my 50th birthday and it was fantasticFrom answering questions we had in advance of our trip, giving us tour recommendations, chef recommendations,supermarket recommendations, taxi recommendations, putting food away for us before we arrived allowing us to check in early I couldn’t have asked for moreWe had a few questions during the trip and were able to reach Geraldine with no problemWhile we were initially a little bit nervous that the door would just be left open for us- especially three girls traveling alone - this was momentary anxiety, proved to not be an issueEverything was exactly as promisedPrivate pool, beach just across the street, restaurants, walking distance, beach, chairs, and cooler in the yard… everything was perfect
