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!

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!

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!!!

hate leaving bad reviews, but it's been earned.
owner wants all correspondence via email,not vrbo. seems shady.and he is rude in these emails.he showed up after we'd been there for an hour to show us around, we were in the middle of dressing for dinner.there is no lock on the actual door or any of the windows.don insists its a "safe neighborhood".he entered the rental we paid too much for to turn off the a/c while we were at dinner and sent 2 snotty emails. one stating folks don't read these days and the other stating he would talk to us in the am.the place was very dust and dirty.way too much clutter to keep clean.the net over bed was gross.don welcomes himself onto property at will with no notice. we were in the pool when he decided to come on over to water the plants. we could have been naked for all he knows.i told him to give notice next time,got a snotty email about that too. out door shower is basically a spigot sticking out of the wall with a dirty shower curtain. received 1 bath and 1 beach towel each and when we asked for fresh on day 4,we're told tomorrow.but we'll do it a day early. if you need more, it's $20 (for ratty old towels).sheets had a hole in them, bedspread had something white and crusty on it.shower overflows and is basically a wet bathroom.hole in the shutters in br just big enough to take a peek.mattress cover is a blow up that don boasts he spent $500 on.u can get a blow up for 70 at the store down the road. no window curtains for privacy,don't expect to sleep in.1500 characters isnt enough.

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.

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!

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!

Stop looking, stay here!
Upon entering, your first view is looking out over the deck at the impossibly blue waters of the Caribbean. The deck faces west, so every evening you have a private, front seat view of the sunset. One word of caution, once the sun goes down the sand flies do make an appearance. If you tend to attract mosquitos or the like, I recommend bug spray (which is provided in the cabin – along with anything else you might require). The highlight is when you descend the steps adjacent to the property down to the water’s edge. There you have your own private infinity style jump pool meters from the ocean. Pictures do not do it justice. A few more stone steps provide access to the ocean, for swimming/snorkeling or the like, all in your little private bay. Also, along the way to the pool is an outdoor shower, which let’s face it, is pretty awesome. The bed was firm, which I personally loved, but it sounds as though you can request extra foam if that is a concern. The living area is small but comfortable. It is a studio style space, with a kitchenette and single bathroom. Books and games are provided to enjoy during your stay. There was a local cat and several iguanas that come by from time to time which we loved. Don was having some work performed on the property while we were there, which is obviously necessary for maintaining a property such as this. That being said, Don obviously cares deeply about his properties. He made a point to stop by the first day to say hello and was immediately responsive to any questions or concerns that we had, while also respecting your privacy. Even after we left his property, Don continued to give us great tips about things to check out on the island and was accommodating and helpful when we inadvertently left a few things and had to return to pick them up. Overall, can’t recommend enough. Beautiful place, beautiful people. Take some time to say hello. You won’t be disappointed.

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!***

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!!!

Dream come true location!
My husband and I stayed at Cas Abou at the end of our honeymoon and it was perfect for us! We loved waking up to a view of the ocean and having coffee/breakfast on the beautiful, private deck. It is so easy and fun to just walk down the stairs to the ocean and snorkel with literally no one around! The private infinity pool was also AMAZING! Don and Angie were so welcoming and helpful with any recommendations and are very knowledgeable about the island. They make sure you have everything you need to just relax and enjoy, including towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, and even a cooler to take to the beach. Angie gave us great advise about visiting the blue room and it turned out to be our favorite island adventure! They also connected us with Anouk and Aldrick who came to Cas Abou for a couples massage right on the deck under the stars! The location of Cas Abou was also amazing. It is so relaxing and beautiful but you can easily get to restaurants, grocery store, etc.

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.

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.

Stunning, charming, and whimsical
Charming and whimsical house full of character and beautiful artwork. It had everything we needed for a relaxing day at “home” or a day trip to a nearby beach. The views are stunning! We really enjoyed our mornings on the deck drinking coffee and watching the beautiful array of birds fly by or soaking in the plunge pool overlooking the water. Don and Angie are amazing hosts! They provided so many details ahead of time to help plan our trip and were available to answer any questions that we had during our stay. They put so much thought and care into their properties to make your vacation a truly remarkable experience. If we return to Curacao, which we plan on doing, we will definitely stay at Casa Ba-ooo again!

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.

Magical Stay
We can not say enough good things about the magical people, cottage and and island of Curaçao. Everything you need and with a view that will warm my heart though the rest of winter in upstate NY. Food was great a couple favorites were E Lanternu and Cactus Cafe, any smoothie bar. The snorkeling was amazing, best right in the bay at the cottage. Don and Angie are kind and knowledgeable, please ask and they will help you solve and make your stay enjoyable. Get some buzz aloe at the local pharmacy....helps with bugs. This was an all time favorite stay and that was even after returning home to find out I likely had pneumonia for most of the stay. We can not wait to return! Dushi Curaçao, Don and Angie!

Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!
My husband and I had an amazing time staying here and would return for another vacation. The location is wonderful being pretty center to the island so nothing is too far away. We were able to drive to the north and south ends within a reasonable amount of time even during heavy traffic times. We snorkeled pretty much the entire East side of the island and the Cas Abou area was in our top two. Lots of coral and different species of fish. Pay attention to when the tides are rougher to plan your swim. The birds put us in routine by the second day. Make sure you put sugar out on the rocks on the porch rail. You will get to see some very beautiful and not shy tropical birds. Some get close enough to eat from your breakfast plate. Every evening we watched the sun go down while having a cocktail and waited for the “green flash.” We never got to see it but that just gives us more reason to go back. We made several meals and everything we needed in the kitchen was handy. I only wish there was a larger coffee maker. Bed was comfortable and good size. Bathroom was adequate, I just wish it has a thick rubber mat since the bathroom floor and shower floor are the same. All and all I think we found “our place” to stay every time we visit the island and we are actually planning to bring a group of friends with us to rent some of the other houses Don & Angie have. A BIG thank you to Don and Angie for being so hospitable! You made our time there more enjoyable and less stressful!

I was just perfect. Exactly they way I pictured it. His descriptions are very accurate.
Anytime we needed the owner or our concierge they were only an email away. Always able to help. We enjoyed this property immensely! The property was clean, we ate in almost every meal, and all the utensils we needed were in the cottage. The snorkeling right in front of the cottage was probably some of the best we saw anywhere on the island. I would definitely return to this property over and over again. Perfect 25 anniversary.
