Holiday houses in Kralendijk

an ideal location to go to other parts of the island.

Wonderful view, comfortable and spacious. Beautiful shared garden. We enjoyed the hummingbirds and bananaquits, parrots, doves and iguanas, and blue tailed lizards! Although it was extra windy during our stay which lowered the visibility in the water, we still appreciated being able to snorkel and swim right from the property. The close proximity to restaurants and shops was great, but the area felt peaceful - though there is currently construction a couple houses down which does make some noise during work hours on weekdays. The dive shop is literally one house down, but not noisy. We are not divers, but stopped in their little shop and enjoyed watching the lights under water from the occasional night dive. Since the garden is shared, you may not always have access to the area by the water if other guests are entertaining. Leanne was responsive and informative.

We fully enjoyed our stay. Inge was a lovely host and very responsive with advices around the island and also helped us out with snorkelling gears. The place is offering all you need to prepare breakfast, most important a Nespresso coffee machine for us :) You need a car to move around the island, also here Inge helped out with recommendations on the rental. Nice about the location is that next door is a good restaurant where you can dine or just grab a drink after a nice day touring around bonaire. A wonderful sunset spot is the close te amo beach just 3 min by car. All over a wonderful stay!

Walking distance to major shops. Quiet. Insect screens on all windows plus ceiling fans..... did not need to use the AC. Does not heat up too much in the sun, unlike the last place I stayed in Bonaire (felt like you could fry eggs on the inside walls). Kitchen well equipped, including most items you might use regularly at home. Other thoughtful items such as a shopping bag and spices. Full size fridge/freezer. Large TV and guest netflix. Roof top shaded leisure area. I didn't use the pool but it always looked clean. Local residents downstairs always friendly and quiet.

From the moment we exited the airport upon arrival, Fenna was there to assist us with any questions we had. So nice to have a friendly face meeting us, and it was very helpful to follow her to the house, and have a quick tour. The place is so tastefully done! Don’t let the fact that the home is made of two sea containers dissuade you. You can’t tell! It’s cool and decorations were top-of-the-line. The location is within 1.5 miles of the main area of the Kralendijk. We rented a truck and were so glad for this as the roads are rough on the island, AND we wanted to tour Washington National Park. Grocery stores are plentiful, and several are a quick drive/walk around the corner. We loved the early mornings sitting by the pool, watching the sunrise. We found it very private as the landscaping is quite lush, and growing fast! We did hear chickens, donkeys, and a neighbor kid’s motor bike, but we brought a sound machine, and had undisturbed sleep. We SO look forward to returning!

I stayed here for a month and Everything about my stay was amazing - the place itself, the cleanliness, location. Karen and her husband were very kind and helpful and always willing to answer any questions I had right away. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Bonaire!

Ingrid was a great host and the apartment exceeded expectations (which were high). Easy walking distance to restaurants and great Kralendijk shops.

If you are hesitating to book Casa Esmeralda, make your reservations now! The pictures, while accurate, do not convey how lovely this house truly is. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed. We cooked several dinners and were impressed that any cooking implement we wanted, we easily found. Actual cookware that was quality and useful. Multiple wine openers. Serving dishes and plates. The bedrooms are quite comfortable, with the master suite truly amazing. The hostess met us upon check in and made sure that we knew where to find everything. She also provided yummy snacks and drinks to make our visit more pleasant. Spending mornings by the pool, and snorkeling right in front of the house, are activities that became the norm. The snorkeling was top notch. Look for the sea turtles! We saw several each day. It will be hard to go back to our "regular" house.
