About this property

Charming oceanfront villa, great house reef near restaurant and dive operation

This ocean front villa with 5 bedrooms and accommodation for 10 is great for families or small dive groups. Use this centrally located villa to explore all the island activities or stay close to home for the best of Bonaire snorkel and diving..

Beautiful, clean villa right on the beach

Very clean villa right on the beach within easy walking distance of three dive shops. Five separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Kitchen is well stocked with enough pots, pans, and tableware for a large group. Communication with the hosts was excellent while preparing for the trip.

Fantastic place

Great 5 bedroom. All King size beds so very Comfortable. AC was great, outside areas were perfect for chilling with easy water access (snorkeling, diving). Hamlet Oasis is serene and the Rum-runners bar is nice (even reasonably priced). Pizza is fine 6/10 I'd guess.

Week Long Stay with 6 adults

Location - ideal as it is right on the water, a walk down to snorkel off rocky coral beach. Basically at "Cliff" dive site. Sitting out on the patio in the morning and evening was a precious part of the day. Grocery store across the street. Beds comfortable, rooms spacious...plenty of space for our group of six...more would also be fine. You do need a car but that is true all over Bonaire.

Excellent Diving Location

This location for shore diving is exceptional. Walking out the back door for a dive was a special treat. The house is also in very good condition and Rob was very helpful. We are shore divers and this is very likely a repeat for our group. Tanks/rental gear is available from a dive shop a short walk away. You can also snorkel and swim right out back. This vacation was an absolute pleasure. John

Dream Vacation

This property was such a dream. Being able to walk out the back and drink coffee in the morning, watch the sunset, snorkel with an amazing reef (watch out for the fire coral though), and located to great food and fun. We had such an enjoyable time. We all want to come back. Water is clean to drink from faucet. Kitchen had plenty of items to cook with. Beds are comfy, but maybe bring a pillow if you don't like really fluffy ones. Spacious to have time to self or together. Thank you.

Another perfect vacation

It was our third visit to the villa, which means we do love the place. This time we were also very impressed with the recent updates. New kitchen, doors and windows, new A/C units, freshened up garden with additional path etc. Villa looks great! It is neat, clean, spacious, convenient and tastefully decorated. Direct access to the ocean with a house reef is a dream for snorkelers and divers. Our special thanks go to Rob and Zwanet whose compassion and patience are incomparable. One can’t wish a better service!

Wonderful location and beautiful property

My extended family stayed at Villa 9 in July. It is right near an excellent dive site and convenient to town. The home was a great size for us to be together without feeling cramped. The kitchen was very well-equipped with plenty of cookware, coffee making supplies, a blender, and everything else that we needed for our stay. The dive room has plenty of space to hang equipment with a wash basin just outside. The outdoor shower was a great way to rinse off after diving and snorkeling. We used the oceanside sitting area every evening for sunset drinks. The property manager was very responsive, helpful and friendly. Thanks Zwanet! A wonderful experience!

New years week with two families

Fabulous outside space and easy access into water to a very nice reef. Great location, could walk to store, marina and ice cream.Really excellent price and easily fit 9 adults.New years we could see fire works all over the island Said there was dish washer and there was not. Kitchen equipment (cutting boards)were grimey but house was spotless. Kitchen supplies need once over. Property manager was slow in responsiveness but otherwise helpful (told us we could check out late after the check out time). But one of our party took house key with them and they were helpful in arranging pick up of key from Avis.

Great location and outdoor living space

Loved the outdoor living area for group dining and hanging out, relaxing and happy hour. Fantastic diving right in front of the property. Well stocked kitchen but had to buy a wine opener. Don’t remember what the description said but was surprised there was no hand soap provided in the bathrooms. And no shampoo. Only one shower in the house had hot water. Guess we should have contacted property management while we were there. The other bathrooms apparently had tepid water. Other than those things we had a lovely time and the villa accommodated us well. Loved having the room to clean and store our dive gear.

Exceptional house right on the beach!

We're a group of scuba divers who have been vacationing and diving together for many years all over the world. Hamlet Villa #9 is by far the best property we've ever stayed at. Not only can you literally step from your porch into the gorgeous turquoise waters of the Caribbean, but there's one of the best dive sites Bonaire has to offer (The Cliff) right in front of the house! So, each evening after our night dive, we were able to get out of the water, relax with a cocktail or two and throw something on the barbecue for dinner - total bliss. The house is very well laid out with 5 bedrooms that can be arranged as either a king-sized or two twin beds; each bedroom has its own bathroom. The living area is great as well, with a huge open kitchen that offers all the amenities. The highlight of the property is the outdoor space that is simply gorgeous, with chaise-lounges, easy chairs, a pergola with table and chairs, outdoor shower, huge table on the covered terrace in front of the kitchen that easily seats 10 people, etc. Imagine sitting in a lounge chair, looking at Klein Bonaire and watching the sun set every evening right from your back yard! For divers there is a very handy rinse station and an equipment room that even has a washing machine. The property is very clean and tastefully furnished. Rob and Zwanet were super friendly and welcoming hosts. There is simply nothing negative to say about this property. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Bonaire!

Heerlijk huis

Bonaire is fantastisch. En dit huis ook. Het ligt aan een prachtige snorkelspot. Je hoef maar een trap af te lopen en over wat stenen te klauteren en je zit in een prachtige onderwaterwereld. Het huis zelf is ruim opgezet met genoeg slaapkamers en badkamers. Enige nadeel; geen vaatwasser. Terwijl daar wel echt ruimte genoeg voor is.

Heerlijk huis zonder afwasmachine

Fijn huis op top plek, alleen heel jammer dat er geen afwasmachine was voor 6 man. Voor deze prijs hadden we dat zeker wel verwacht. Douches waren ook behoorlijk gedateerd en de houten stoelen bij het water zaten niet heel comfortabel. Waren keihard en hadden geen relaxte kussens of iets dergelijks…

Great location and house but opportunity for improvement.

Biggest issue was the grey tile used on the back porch/patio/veranda and in the house. Though pretty it is slick as ice if wet or wet feet. Very difficult to avoid at a waterfront villa. Kitchen utensils, glassware and cutting boards not good. Some of the cutting boards looked moldy. One room was unusable due to a ac unit that did not work and no outside windows for ventilation. Again great house and location, tile is a concern and the finishing touches need to be considered.

A great villa

We already knew the place ... and we love it. The house is very nice, comfortable and globally well equiped, except there is no dishwasher (strange choice for a 10 PAX villa ...) The view is really great. Direct access to the sea and Cliff dive site just a few stairs down the garden is very convenient. We have had great time, and we will be back soon.

Excellent property, dive shop close by, good reef for diving

This was my first stay at Hamlet Oasis. I've passed by this property numerous times on the past and have always thought it would be a good choice. Our group was 9 people; myself, my 3 children, one of my brothers, a former coworker and his wife and 2 of my coworkers friends. The accommodations were clean and exactly as described. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. There is an outside shower (which had warm water), a very large gear storage room with a washer, a wash station right out side the gear storage room, a patio with a large table and some chairs, a 'gazebo' out by the water that provided shade. Also, there were some chairs on a flat cement spot by the seawall at the end of the property were we all spent a great amount of time looking out at Klein Bonaire in the mornings and evenings. The only issue we faced was the parking. We had two groups so we had two vehicles. The parking spot was large enough to park the trucks end-to-end but not side-by-side. Also, the narrow street to the villa was one-way from 0900 to 1700 (9 am to 5 pm). However, it was easy to mitigate this problem because there is a small parking lot close to the northern gate (there are two gates; a southern gate and a northern gate) where I would park my truck in the evening. The Dive Friends dive shop right on the property was a GREAT and convenient place for getting dive gas. This property is right on the 'Cliff' dive site and had stairs from the property down to the water. We took advantage of that convenience a couple of times. We were all very happy on this property. These Bonaire trips are an annual thing for my family so I'm sure I will check this property first when scheduling the next vacation. By the way, the photographs of the property you see on this Vrbo site are a very accurate view of the property. If you have a group of 8 - 10 people, it is my opinion that this property would be a very good choice for your group. Happy diving and bon bini, babies!

Great Stay

This home was the perfect size for our family and the location right on a dive site was amazing!! We were able to wake up in the morning and do early dives as well as night dives just about every day. The home is equipped with everything you need and the kitchen is totally stocked. The property manager was so kind and met us at the house to ensure we didn't have any questions about the home during our stay. We will definitely rent this home again!!!

We were thrilled with our stay . The house was well stocked, beds were extremely comfortable and the location is perfect for a relaxing stay. We arrived and found the house clean and ready for our group. Parking for more than two cars would be an issue but it would not deter me from booking again. We loved the ocean side location and the ease of getting in to the water but it could be a little tough for small children.
