Great house and location

The house was perfect for 2 couples and we could have had more family in the guest house. Very nice house and the courtyard/pool is wonderful. The location was great - close to the beaches on the north, but close enough to major roads town to get anywhere on the island quickly. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend for others to stay there.

Great Vacation Rental!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Esmeralda 97. We were welcomed by Anna, the property manager, who was very friendly, and provided us with helpful information about the property and surrounding areas to make our time on the island more enjoyable. The property was exactly as shown in the photographs and included everything needed to make us feel right at home. The hosts are very responsive and did whatever was necessary to ensure our stay in Aruba was pleasant and enjoyable. We highly recommend this property!

Absolutely amazing!!

We stayed here for 8 days and everything was great! The owner communicated a few weeks before our trip with tips to make our first trip to Aruba smooth and stress-free, which was very much appreciated!! She also got in touch before, during, and after our stay just to check-in and make sure things went well ans she was very prompt in answering any questions, as were the property managers. The house was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and was a less than 10 minute drive to the main strip of beaches, resorts, shopping, and restaurants. The living area was spacious and clean with comfortable beds and everything we needed available. We spent most of our evenings enjoying the outside area and the pool which was a great way to relax and wind down after spending the days touring and checking out all the different beaches. I don't have anything negative to say about this property and hope to book it again on my next trip to Aruba!

Beautiful oasis

When vacationing it’s all about being outside in the beautiful weather. This place is gorgeous inside and out. We really didn’t spend time inside the well equipped house, as the garden out back was just lovely. Palm trees and shrubs and gorgeous blooming flowers, hummingbirds, mocking birds bananaquits, doves and truvias chirping. Truly paradise. Lots of loungers an upscale sofa set for dining and card playing and great BBQ. For the beach, everything you need, portable chairs cooler floats. Fridge has an ice maker. Susan has great taste as the place was decorated beautifully AND it has a landline for making calls for reservations. Awesome. We will be back as this place can handle four couples with its detached guesthouse, parallel to the main house. Only thing I could ask for is twinkle lights lol. Highly recommend this place. Pool is big and deep. No shallow end. Wish I was there now lol

beautiful home, amazing owners and management

Esmeralda is the most lovely home. It is large and roomy with virtually everything you need for a comfortable stay. The patio and pool area is large and includes table and seating for meals outside, multiple beach chairs and floats, and a barbeque grill. The pool is perfect and remains at a perfect temperature. There are plenty of towels, beach chairs, and even 2 coolers on wheels to pack up for the beach. The location is perfect, We had a car and could quickly get to beaches and all shopping. The home was spotlessly clean, contained plenty of linens and has washer and dryer conveniently placed. Now, let me tell you about the management company and the owners. Yolanda and her family are the managers. We unfortunately had a medical emergency while here. Without the care of Yolanda, we would have been lost. She provided transportation, office supplies including scanning and photocopying that we had no idea how to get done. She arranged for a massage for one of the injured, even showed up with flowers one day. She checked in with us daily and made sure we were able to do all that was needed. The home owners checked in on our progress frequently and allowed us to stay in this beautiful home and extended time, while one injured was able to be released from hospital and med flighted home. We all recommend this home wholeheartedly! You could not find a better place to sstay on the island!

escape to paradise

Susan and David, Thanks you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Everything was just as we expected it to be. The only problem was that our time went too quickly. It was nice of you to check in with us upon arrival and if we needed anything it was just a quick email or phone call away. We enjoyed the pool and beautiful outdoor oasis. The interior of the home was immaculate and felt like home. We are looking forward to returning next year! Sincerely, Greg and Lori
