The region - Cas Abou is surrounded by the Banda Abou region of our dushi Curacao! Along with the best isolated and/or serviced beaches on the island there are plenty of eating options including local, international and fine. It's the undiscovered gem of under-the-radar Curacao! Real-deal Caribbean without the tourists and traffic.

The neighborhood - Cas Abou is an established, exclusive local and international neighborhood. It's focus is on tranquility, nature and privacy. It's not an "up and coming" neighborhood. It's a well kept secret and we've already arrived! Cas Abou is centrally located half-way between the village of Westpunt and downtown/airport. You are surrounded by the best beaches on the island! WITHOUT ALL THE TOURISTS AND TRAFFIC

The cottage - New seaside, salt water, infinity-edged, cocktail pool is ready! Very exciting upgrade to the property! With shaded lounge area right on the sea!
Cliff-high, private sunsets over the Caribbean 365 sets-a-year!

ANOTHER upgrade as of winter 2023-24! Additional 300ft2 of deck over the sea! Newly tiled (out with the wood and in with the tile!) and another palapa area! Take your pick and work out those tan lines OR stay in the shade!

300 ft2 inside, 300 ft2 covered terrace and 450 ft2 open deck - all one level. Private front yard sitting garden and sea-level shaded lounge and salt water splash pool. Private steps into the sea! Purely natural and purely private!

Top-ten Cas Abou beach is right around the corner! And, we've got 2 nice beach chairs, beach matt and a cooler (with freezer packs) so you don't have to rent those either! We love caring for our guests!

Absolutely unique on the entire island! Seaside cottage perfect for a single or a couple wanting to enjoy raw nature in privacy. Built with glass fronted-tile deck, shaded terrace with day bed ON by the sea. Established native, professional gardens. Full a/c when the breeze isn't blowing, indoor and outdoor ceiling fans, gas stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, counter top oven, fridge/freezer... And gas grill!

Local and owner created art throughout the property!

Feel the trade winds, listen to the sea and enjoy being part of one of the best, and private, natural settings on the island! Walk down the steps right to your private house reef for swimming, snorkeling, diving or just for a beer and a float! This healthy reef has amazing biodiversity with soft/hard corals close to the surface for snorkelers and mixed topography deeper for SCUBA. Often referred to by guests as the best snorkeliing/diving on the island! Did you just walk right past the infinity edged salt water pool?!! Fresh sea water pumps in twice a day! Time your dip properly and enjoy the waterfall! Huh? What?! WOW!

This cottage is simply spectacular! It's all about getting back to nature. Sunrise walks with flamingos, parrots, pelicans, frigates, trupials, songbirds and the ocassional osprey!... Get rid of your tan lines in privacy...Swim/snorkel/dive/kayak explore beaches and back roads during the day...Meals outside in the breeze, world class sunsets and at night...Enjoy unbelievable moonscapes and watch constellations cross the sky! Unbelievable!

For your morning swim, snorkel, kayak or dive just head down the steps and there you are! Isolated beach borders one side of property, another isolated beach just a short swim (or 60 second walk) the other direction and world class Cas Abou beach for those who enjoy a longer swim (or 60 second car drive). Enjoy your coffee in the breeze as the pelicans pass by. This cottage is pure relaxation (stay connected with fast wireless and Skype your friends at sunset! No TV!)

Private outdoor shower with shaded area for the massage service over the sea!... Ba-ooo! Exercise bike and free weights for the die hards!

Enjoy sunset right from the infinity edge of our salt water pool! HELLO!

The Cas Abou community is private, gated, natural, tranquil and quiet. Centrally located between downtown (25 minutes) and westpunt (25 minutes) Cas Abou is the best of both worlds and perfectly located for your island get-away.

Incredible views!

We had an amazing stay at Ba-ooo! The ocean views were awesome! It was great waking up to the view and lots of birds visiting. The location couldn’t be beat to tour the west side of the island. However the best snorkeling was just off the property and to the left towards Cas Abou. Don and Angie were great. We’d definitely stay here again.

Beautiful bungalow

It was such a special experience my husband planned for my 40th birthday. The bungalow was so neat, with local art and eclectic touches. Dons place is the best lot in the subdivision. I enjoyed my morning coffee with the sunrise, the private chef Don reconnected to my husband for birthday dinner and swimming from our place to the beach around the corner.

Amazing oceanfront bungaloo in Curacao

My wife and I just returned from Curacao after a week stay at this amazing oceanfront cottage. First, the pictures do not do it justice. All pictures are accurate. It is directly on the water. The oceanfront plunge pool was great and we watched multiple sunsets from there. We did scuba diving right off the property and saw 2 octopi, squids, numerous fish and eels. The place was perfect size of us, king size bed, shower with great water pressure (a plus for me), and a full kitchen. The host was very communicative. Gave great recommendations.Would highly recommend.

Heaven on Earth

The property was truly paradise. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and the outside living space was perfect for two people. The views from the patio were beyond magnificent. We enjoyed 2 morning hikes with Angie. We loved exploring this beautiful island with her. She shared so much interesting information with us. Prior to our arrival, Don provided us with detail information, extremely helpful. Don was very quick to respond to any need that may arise, no matter how small. Don and Angie are fabulous hosts. We parted with so many fond memories. We highly recommend this property to other quests.

First (but not last) stay at this gem by the Sea

The summary of the place was absolutely accurate. We walked in and it looked exactly like the pictures. We were so thrilled with the location. The inside is small but perfectly functional. HUGE canopy bed with a comfortable mattress, washroom with shower and a smaller kitchen w all the needed amenities. We cooked and lived outside though. The outdoor grill worked great. We got groceries near the airport on the way there and were impressed with the Centrum store. The beef and fish were less expensive then home! The best part of the place was the huge outdoor deck that overlooked the sea. Absolutely beautiful views. We saw some people complained about seeing cruise ships but they are only occasional and miles away! Kind of enjoyed watching them. We even saw a sea turtle one morning from the deck. The birds became our little friends. We are not sun worshippers and when it got hot, we would just move under the canopy or go down to the private pool/covered terrace. Spent two full days there! beautiful breeze off the ocean to cool down. When in the pool you felt like you were almost in the ocean it was so close. And we snorkelled every day right off the dock. I scuba dive and have dove in many places around the world - was totally impressed with the reef, drop off, abundance and variety of fish there. There is a private beach just next door which was pretty cool. Also a paid beach resort if you feel like that vibe also 2 minute drive. We will return!

Paradise!

We had an incredible stay at Ba-ooo. The views from the deck were breathtaking and the perfect spot to watch the tropical birds and the sunsets. The decor and artistic detail put into the cottage was beautiful. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We also enjoyed using the lower deck palapa and pool area. It was great to have some of the best snorkeling right at our doorstep. Don was very helpful and all of his restaurant, hiking and sight-seeing recommendations were spot-on. We can't wait to return!

Best views on the island

We were so pleased with our entire Stay. Don was super communicative before and during our stay. He provided an entire list of things to see and do which cut out hours of research as this was our first time here. We visited so many beautiful beaches, but both agree that the snorkeling and view from the property were the best of anywhere on the island. We rented a car and did so much exploring. One of our favorite vacations of all time. I can not say enough about this property and our experience.

This is a special place. The view from the deck is amazing; it feels as if you are floating above the water. Don and Angie are terrific hosts who were available for anything we needed. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Don provided a great information packet that was an invaluable guide to hiking, eating, and beaches. And the beaches — fabulous! We went to a different beach everyday and they were all so wonderful. If you are looking for crystal clear blue water, great and easy snorkeling, peace and quiet away from crowds and resorts, this is your place!

Great and Quiet Stay

What can I say...what a great play to stay! Don was a great host and very helpful but the highlight is the location and the house. It is in a beautiful location with AMAZING views, it has a private plunge pool, it has a private deck, and private Palapa! What is not to love! The house is within a easy drive to a lot of great beaches but it was nice to just come back at the end of the day and sit on the deck and watch the waves. ***On what could be purely preference, I do wish the bed was a bit softer but otherwise we loved our stay and defiantly would stay there again or at one of Don's other locations!***

I want SO badly to keep this place our little secret because it is that AMAZING but that would be such a disservice to Don and Angie. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay - even when the whole island lost power for a few hours. Don and Angie are wonderful hosts - very communicative and knowledgeable. Read your welcome packet and take their suggestions - everything from restaurants to beaches and everything in between that they suggested was top notch! You don’t need to leave the house unless you want to because it literally has everything. The bed was comfortable, the views were spectacular, and the experience was unforgettable. Some of our best snorkeling was right out from the house. We are sitting in the airport heading home writing this review and trying to figure out when we can come back!

Excellent!

There is not much more I can add that has not already been said. This is the place if you want to kick back, relax and get away from the world. We spent three weeks here and would wholeheartedly recommend it. The cottage is clean, has everything you might need for a short or long stay, kitchen is well stocked, the deck is private and the view is breath taking. Whether you are diving, sight seeing or just there to enjoy a book in the sun, the location of this cottage cannot be beaten. Don is helpful and available for everything you may need or require, and I know it has been said before but his notes about beaches, dive sites and restaurants really is excellent. We hope to be back and perhaps stay longer the next time. You have a great cottage Don, we had an absolutely wonderful time.

Amazing Sunsets and Shooting Stars!

We stayed at Cas Ba-ooo for the last 4 nights of a 12 day stay on Curaçao. The Cottage was everything we hoped it would be, its artistic decor was very pleasing. The view from the kitchen window is amazing, like you're looking at a painting but its real! With pelicans flying by the deck, orioles singing to us, iguanas coming for a visit and being able to snorkel right off the steps to the ocean we felt close to nature. The highlight of this cottage began every night just before sunset. The sunsets and stargazing were spectacular! Don and Angie were very down to earth and very informative for things to do in this area of the island. We really enjoyed this area and the beach next door Cas Aboa. Don suggested on our last day to go for lunch at Landhuis Daniel and we enjoyed it very much. Thankyou for a wonderful vacation and hope to see you again soon.

Phenomenal Vacation

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The cottage was perfect -- clean, comfortable, and quiet. The sheets on the bed were especially soft and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was amazing. We spent lots of our time hanging out on the incredible deck: reading, napping, watching the sun set, playing cards, eating our meals. We snorkeled right from the cottage, soaked in the salt water pool, and watched the lizards, birds, and iguanas. The cottage itself is simply beautiful. Don is an artist and his work is everywhere throughout the property. His mosaics and stained glass pieces are amazing and add so much to the ambience of the space. Don and Angie were lovely and incredibly helpful. They had great restaurant, beach, and sight-seeing suggestions. Amazing, amazing, amazing. We cannot wait to return! THANK YOU!!!

Basically paradise

Not much to add that hasn’t already been said! The place is paradise and considerably more spectacular in person than photos can capture. Don and Angie are friendly, worldly, highly-available hosts. If you’re wondering, as I was, what the immediate surroundings are like: yes the house has properties on either side, but one side contains an unfinished villa and the other side is a tucked-away property managed by the same owner as this one. The place is totally private; any would-be sight lines to the neighbors are obscured by fences, geography, or foliage. It feels like your own slice of the island once you’re on the property; doesn’t even feel like it’s in a neighborhood at all. Totally unforgettable stay. The picturesque Carribbean experience we all daydream about.

Casa Baooo is Divine

This was our first trip to Curaçao, and we really got lucky booking this property. The view is stellar, the top floor has a terrace overlooking the sea with sunsets that are out of this world. The terrace has a bistro set, lounge chairs, and a couch… plenty of areas to lounge and enjoy. There is also a dining table out there for meals set to the sound of the waves crashing. It’s perfect. If you take the stone steps down to the sea, there is a lovely palapa next to a private infinity pool, with a discrete outdoor shower behind it. We watched the crabs, iguanas, and birds while we enjoyed the sea, went snorkeling, and then bounced back to the pool. Stellar! The property was great, but the property management was TOP-TIER! Seaside Don and Angie helped me plan the perfect 50th for my wife. I felt so comfortable, as Don responded immediately after my booking with what my wife and I started calling “The Bible”! Everything I needed to plan our trip was in the documents he sent over. There were also additional services (decorations when we arrived with personalized messaging, dinner delivery on arrival, stocked fridge service, birthday cakes provided, responding to my constant emails with questions, etc.) that added the extra personal touches that made it so special! I cannot recommend this place / team enough — 10/10!!!

Simply Stunning!

We recently returned from nine days at Casa Ba-ooo and wish we never left! The property was just perfect for two and the setting provided endless hours of pure relaxation; sunrise, sunset, star gazing, it is amazing at all times. We started the day with coffee on the deck to take in the incredible view and listed to the waves wash up just underneath us. We spent our days at many of the amazing beaches that were all just a short drive away, and then would make our way back to the cottage in the mid-late afternoons to enjoy the sun setting right in front of us. We just could not get enough of that view! Don and Angie were tremendous! From the time Angie met us at the airport to the time she brought us back, they were both so very helpful and accommodating. The information packet they provided was amazing; we used so many of their suggestions and found hidden gems we would otherwise never have found. Wish we could have stayed longer and cannot wait to go back!

Booking again soon

This place was nothing short of AMAZING. Don and Angie are wonderful people who will take the best care of you. You truly have to come to this place to get the most surreal experience. Shower with hermit crabs, enjoy coffee with the birds and iguanas, house cats may join you for dinner. And crabs lurking in the Garden may scare the crap out of you when you return at nite, like they did me at least twice. But I loved it. Lol If you’re a wildlife fanatic who loves a nice easy vacation to the tropics, this is the place for you. Glowing with gratitude as we return from this one of a kind stay at Seaside Curacao. Thank you Angie and Don for all of the thoughtful and very helpful guidance, Amenities, and overall amazing accommodations. This one will Surely be hard to top.

The Perfect Romantic Getaway

If you're looking for the perfect spot in Curacao for a quiet, romantic getaway this is it. The views from the porch are the best on the island. A private bay for swimming and snorkeling. Spectacular sunsets. Birds, fish, turtles, dolphins and even an iguana that visits for a snack. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax you won't find a better spot on the island. Angie picked us up at the airport and showed us places to eat and buy food and gas on the way. Don provided excellent advice on places to eat and things to do even though you won't want to leave your private cottage. The cottage was clean and well stocked, including a bottle of champagne on our arrival. The rental car he provided was perfect for getting around the island. The location is great for getting anywhere you want to go on the island. Private beaches are close by and it is a short drive to hiking and restaurants. Thank you Don and Angie. We will be back.

Absolutely Incredible!

This was our first visit to Curacao and it was just fantastic. We stumbled upon a listing for the house on TripAdvisor and what a find it turned out to be! The location is breathtaking (photos don't do it justice). You're just isolated enough with some excellent nearby restaurants but also perfectly situated for excursions around the island. The support from Don and Brigitte before and during our stay was perfect. Don sent us a ton of recommendations that were spot-on and really helped us make the most of our trip. And, the car rental and airport transfers made arriving on the island and exploring it so easy. The beaches, the food and the people were wonderful. But, it was the house that truly made our trip. Stargazing on the deck every night. Waking up surrounded by the blue, blue water. Grilling as the sun sets. The iguanas, birds and hermit crabs. The coral mosaics and landscaping, which Don maintains beautifully. We loved everything about the house and our stay. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Seaside Don

Host profile image
International teacher, volunteer and small entrepreneur for 25 years...After 9 years in China I decided I wanted to see a real sunset again and moved to Curacao to teach history and philosophy. Started diving again and fell in love with the island, bought a property and built a little cottage for the first time in my life. It's been a special journey and I like to share it. Introducing people to Curacao and, specifically, to Banda Abou is a very fun part of my life. This is a special place with an incredible unspoiled natural vibration that you wake up to and when the moon is right or the breeze hits you properly it can make for a magical, magical experience!

Why they chose this property

It's simply one of the most incredible spots I've ever seen. It's been a lot of work and a lot more to come but it's decidedly a labor of love and intention.

What makes this property unique

Under-the-radar beauty and a place dedicated to grounding and loving.
