The pool saved us
The pool made our trip perfect. This was our 6th year going to Bonaire to scuba dive. We thought we'd try Villa Vista Mare for more space as our family grows. The villa was everything we'd hope for and the magnesium swimming pool kept us cool between dives. The

Ideal location for scuba and snorkel
Property is very nice in a great neighborhood. Snorkel and dive directly from the easy access point near the pool house. Would enjoy visiting this property again

Beautiful Oceanfront Property
If you want to wake up and sip your morning coffee overlooking the Caribbean ocean, this is the place for you! Our family decided to venture outside of our normal Bonaire accommodations and Villa Vista Mare did not disappoint. It allowed our entire family to stay under one roof and enjoy all the island has to offer.

Great property
Great place to bring a family. With a little help you can snorkel right in front of home. The pool was awesome, because of all the trees and shrubs you will need to skim pool each morning but no big deal. Lots of places to sit and eat dinner. A 5-10 minute drive to town and grocery stores. The snorkeling is not the best we have seen but plenty of fish. Coral is having some problems. Lots of great restaurants. Took 3 families total of 8 people and plenty of room.

Fabulous Property and Water Access
This was our second stay at this property and loved it just as much this time as two years ago. The access to the water with world-class diving and snorkeling in your back yard is outstanding. The pool that overlooks the water with super comfy lounge chairs, pool house bathroom and full refrigerator creates the perfect place to hang out after a day in the water. This is a big house with plenty of space inside and outdoors for everyone to spread out if they choose or come together to enjoy the pool, play games, eat meals, etc. We did have a few issues (outdoor grill needed gas, couldn't light stove in kitchen, driveway gate broke) which were quickly fixed by management. My one suggestion for management would be to try all the ceiling fans and light fixtures in the property and make sure all are working. We had three ceiling fans that didn't operate (one inside and two outside), which makes a difference when there's no AC in the main part of the house and you want to be outside. And even though the maintenance guy could light the stove, I was never able to figure it out and gave up on cooking breakfast. Not huge deals, but when you're staying in a luxury home, you want things to work. But these issues aside, I would stay at this property again in a heartbeat. It's a beautiful place with comfy beds, plenty of towels for showers and pool, a fully stocked kitchen, places to hang dive gear, pool toys, and even a wheelbarrow to help tote dive gear down to water.

Amazing Family Holiday
We had an amazing experience here as two families vacationing together. The pool area was the definite highlight, and the home is so spacious that you can always find just the right spot to curl up, chill out or socialize depending on your mood. Area is very safe and secure and quiet, but only a short ride to town for groceries or meals or activities. House amenities are plentiful with the exception of shampoo and conditioner so make sure you bring your own. We made the mistake of buying ground coffee and the larger coffee maker uses beans so keep that in mind. And with the beauty of the gardens comes pesky little insects wanting to eat you! so come prepared with repellant (this is just good advice for Bonaire no matter where you stay!) Overall, a fantastic property - already miss the view of the sunset while sitting in the pool with a cool beverage...

Villa Vista Mare - So Luxurious!
This villa was the perfect setting for a long-anticipated friends trip, providing just the right location, space, and ambiance we needed. We gathered in the kitchen as well as the many outdoor living spaces and of course the fabulous pool for hours each day. There were also plenty of areas around the property for everyone to enjoy their alone time. The villa was well appointed with an abundance of dishes (including non-breakable items down near the pool), towels, and storage. We also very much appreciated the ability to use the wireless speakers around the property. The large scuba rinse tank and gear storage area was useful and perfectly located as well. Insect repellent will be mandatory and if you’re coming during an especially hot month (we visited in October and it was VERY hot), we would recommend paying for the extra AC, even if it only cools off the immediate area. When we had a couple hiccups early on in the trip (such as inadvertently setting off an alarm – oops!), we had to bug the host late at night and the response was friendly and helpful on each occasion. They really took to heart that their guests just want everything to be perfect on a dream trip like this and handled our calls with the utmost of friendly customer service. We would book this villa again in a heartbeat.

What a fabulous home to stay in with a large group of friends. If you’re into snorkeling, you can’t beat the location. Walk off the beach to one of the best reefs in Bonaire. Management was outstanding and the pool , view and outside area was outstanding. We’ll be back.

Beautiful garden, birds, snorkeling and great for a family!!
VRBO - pros and cons Pluses: 1. Location-convenient to the airport, town, grocery. Wonderful beach and snorkeling location. 2. Privacy- quiet and large garden full of songbirds; beautiful infinity pool and cabana with upstairs that was mostly well-maintained (leaves removed once) 3. Kitchen-ample supply of dishes and serving ware, including forks, spoons, skillets, utensils 4. Large beds, some towels 5. Bathroom tissue-good supply Negatives: 1. Coffee-none of the coffee machines worked well; Keurig was barely functional. (Either replace it or tell guests there is not a machine there.) 2. Air conditioning-in some bedrooms was not functioning properly and not working at all in main living areas. Controls were hard to read. No cool area to gather inside in the evenings. 3. Lighting-hard to find corresponding light switches. 4. Stove-hard to light burners 5. Laundry-very small washer and no dryer, (instructions were confusing), bad location in a bathroom attached to a bedroom. 6. Soap-no bar soap in any bathrooms (or at grocery stores); dishwasher and cleaning soaps were minimal 7. Stone stairs leading down from the pool are somewhat treacherous. Highlight them better with color or place a handrail. 8. Gate needs a remote control or other easier access. 9. Mosquitos were still present in dining area under the table.

Our group consisted of 7 friends. We had an amazing time staying at this majestic home! The house is enormous with tons of social space. The private pool and pool house was just amazing. Sunsets at the infinity edge pool where breath taking and made for some great pics!. The management team where very responsive to any questions or issues we had. There was some minor maintenance issues which is normal, but they where handled within 24 hrs. All in all everyone agreed the house was amazing and we would visit it again!

Perfect family getaway
This was our second stay at Villa Vista Mare which pretty much says it all. We are always looking for new adventures, but just can't believe there is going to something better out there than this property. Right on the water adjacent to the Andrea dive sites, we both snorkeled and dived from "home". The landscaping is incredible, making you feel like you are the only ones on the island. Great pool and nice gazebo for games at night. The villa itself is spacious and well supplied. The property manager Rob was readily available both before we arrived to answer any questions and when we arrived. Simply an awesome place on a wonderful island.

This property was spacious and beautiful. We had plenty of room for the eight of us. The pool area was gorgeous. Snorkeling from the beach in front of the house was great with lots of sea life. One of our favorite activities was cocktails at the pool for sunset. Communication with the property manager was exceptional.

Wonderful Villa
It was an extraordinary villa with an amazing pool and view. Located right on the Andrea II dive site, but it is not the easiest entry into the ocean and very little beach to speak of. Property management was amazing and very attentive to our needs. The only issues we had weee the bugs that came with all the rain, but what do you expect?! The island is beautiful and my wife and I will definitely return. My parents probably will not but they enjoy the more commercialized island of Aruba.
