Simply put, it is Paradise.
We can't imagine a better paradise for our relaxing dive trip! We stayed almost two weeks and the weather and water conditions were consistently perfect. The accomodations were clean and comfortable with a well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed most of our meals at the villa and seldom ate out. There are so many great books to sit and enjoy a meal or a book whether you want the sun or shade. There is a beautiful sunset to be enjoyed from the back of the villa each day. The diving at Chez Hines right out the back of the villa is pristine with a 100' wall. If you dive to about 35' at night, you can find octopus or hunt with the tarpon, which is very exciting. Adding to the experience are two very tame iguanas who make an appearance any time they think you have something yummy. Or that your toes look yummy. I enjoyed feeding them each day and I'll miss their little faces. 10/10 trip. We will be back and we can't wait!

The home and location are magnificent.
The descriptions and photos don't do justice to the home or location. The house and guest accommodations are very spacious and comfortable. Having direct and easy access to the Carribean Sea made snorkeling and scuba from the property a daily and sometimes multiple daily occurrence. Besides seeing a couple of rays, turtles, octopus and huge variety of fish, we encountered a "bait ball". This massive ball of tightly swimming fish was a once in a lifetime event for us. The property owner and her managers were very attentive and a pleasure to have encountered. When we return to Bonaire early next year we will likely contact Monique first to see what properties she has available to meet our needs. The overall experience was great, and we can't wait to return.

Amazing place!
We stayed here for a birthday and anniversary celebration. The place was better than the photos. We were able to dive right off the property which was nice and the new dive gear rinse tank made it convenient after all our dives. We saw several 5-6 foot tarpon every evening in the grotto. Property owner and property manager made our stay especially nice. Will definitely recommend Op De Maze and already looking forward in going back. Thanks again!

Fantastic oceanview villa in Bonaire
We, a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys, stayed in the villa for a week. Both in and outdoor, the house has plenty of space. It has a well equipped kitchen, has AC in all bedrooms and plenty of fans. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood 5 min away from the airport. Overall, a high quality stay on Bonaire. Would love to come back one day.

Stay at Op de Maze
We had an amazing time, the house made for an exceptional visit! Loved the setting and the quiet start and end to all the days, one of the best places we've ever rented and would love to return when possible. Everything was well supplied and maintained and the managers were always available and very willing to help with any questions. Swimming was great right off the patio and the sound of the breaking waves will stay with us for a while. Highly recommended property!

Fantastic location and exceptional house
This property is located central to the entire island, and very private. We were in Bonaire for the wind sports and it did not disappoint. The kitchen is ideal, very well equipped. All spices and basics were in drawer. There were many sitting areas in the shade and sun as well. Ocean access and snorkeling right from deck. We were greeted at the airport and driven to the house and given brief tour. The fridge was stocked with drinks and wine and items to make a late lunch. Exceptional customer service. Thank you.

We had a group of 10, 5 adult couples. The trip was perfect and the house/property helped it be so. Everything was wonderful! The rooms were great, the kitchen was easy to use, the living spaces were wonderful, and the outdoor area was PERFECT! The access to nearby dive shops and locations was perfect! We were greeted upon arrival and had snacks and drinks ready for us at the house. They even left me a birthday card and champagne for my birthday. We can’t wait to visit again.

Great Dive Vacation
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house and grounds are beautiful and very relaxing. The access to the ocean and the view from the back yard and the back deck was like something out of a movie. We enjoyed the amazing sunsets and the beautiful water. The location is great, only a few minutes drive from town but still provided a very secluded feeling because of the way the property is arranged. Monique was great and very responsive and the property management group was also very helpful and kind. We liked everything about this property and our trip to Bonaire and hope to return to this property on a future vacation!

We were planning to dive in Bonaire the end of March. Alas, the Covid-19 virus prevented us from traveling to the island. Monique was extremely helpful in assisting us during the uncertainty and we look forward to our visit in the future. Thank you Monique for all you did during this stressful time. Be well.

Great 10 days at Ope De Mar!
Had a great time with friends in family here! The house was very clean and well appointed. Monique was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. She is a lovely person and took the time to meet us in person at the house. Berry and Marion were also most helpful....rescued us when my parents were unable to open the room safe (with their meds in it)! The water in front of the house is spectacular! Great visibility and snorkeling! Was a little tricky getting in and out of the water at times. Would have helped to have additional rails to hang onto when the swells were stronger. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets! The seafood on the island wasn't as plentiful as we had expected. Did really enjoy La Casita in town. Had the best selection of fresh fish. Also Juliann's Cafe had a great fish sandwich and a really nice owner. Unfortunately we were not able to find the fishermen who would sell their fresh catch. This is an amazing place to stay and great island to explore! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Family vacation
We rented both the villa and the apartment. We got picked up at the airport by Marion and there was a very appreciated welcome package with food and drinks waiting for us. The kitchen is well stocked, air conditioning in the bedrooms and fans in the living area. We spend most of our time outside. The garden is beautiful with many different seating areas. We loved the circle deck above the sea. We started and ended our days above the water. Getting out of the water was a bit difficult the first time but as soon as you got the hang of it it's not a problem. Monique (owner) is very easy to communicate with. Quick responses. She was very flexible with the check in and check out times. We arrived in Bonaire on Friday and since the villa was not booked the week before us Monique told us we could check in Friday. My mom (who is 85) said she had never stayed at such a beautiful location. We all agreed. It was perfect. The managers Berry and Marion are very helpful too. We worked mostly with Marion. They all made us feel very welcome. I can absolutely recommend this place.

Villa sensitively a tastefully furnishd and decorted with a sense fordetail
Right at the entrance we felt that the owners have a high aesthetic sence. The villa looks airy but cozy and is perfectly furnished and equipped. The garden is amazing. A special entrance to the sea is perfect. We, as divers, appreciated this advantage to be at the diving lighthouse. Special thanks belongs to Berry and his wife for their assistance. We can say that we were more than satisfied with the villa and with our holiday in Bonaire and we recommend to everyone to try it. Vlasta & Jiri

A Diver's Paradise!
5 girls, myself included, recently stayed at this lovely villa to celebrate both a divorce and a called-off wedding! It was the perfect place for us to relax, forget our troubles, and revive our spirits in the ocean! The dive-access is unbeatable - you literally gear up in the back and jump right in! A short surface swim will bring you to the Chez Hines dive-site (bouy at the surface), a lovely wall-dive with tons of life. Don't forget to do a night-dive too, where you'll enjoy the beauty of bioluminescence if you turn your lights off! We enjoyed a 10% discount with Dive Friends Bonaire (just down the street) by staying in this villa, and their drive-through tank-exchange is amazingly convenient! The location is great, as it is super close to some of the best sites (including Salt Pier and Alice in Wonderland) on the island, and is also a quick 5 minute drive to the airport. Be sure to dine at Brass Boers, a 5 minute walk down the street, for a 3-michelin star dining experience out of this world! The home itself was comfortable for all - A/C in all the bedrooms (for those who need it), and heavy-duty fans in all the common areas. The kitchen was stocked fully, including a nice welcome package of food and beverages, and plenty of glass and silverware for large groups. The toaster was faulty (nearly caught fire the first time we used it), but after letting Martin know, it was replaced within a day. Speaking of Martin, he covered for Berry who was out of town, but did a wonderful job. He was super communicative, friendly, and just a great person all around! Literally the only negative thing any of us could say about the place is that it might be time for the owners to replace some of the bathroom towels. They're a bit old, and some had a musty/B.O. smell attached to them. Maybe a quick wash in baking soda and vinegar is all it takes to freshen them up a bit! Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend staying here, and are already planning our return trip now!

Lovely place and a wonderful view
It’s clean and everything is there! You can just dive into the ocean and go snorkeling between the fishes. It’s quiet and a lot of places to sit outside in the sun or on the porch with a blower above your head. We saw dolfins swimming early in the morning!! The sport above the water is really nice when the sun goes down, drink an Amstel Bright and enjoy this beautiful moment.

Fabulous location! Outstanding house!
This property was amazing! We went to Bonaire for a one week scuba diving trip with our three children. We took 14 dives and the three best dives were right off the beautiful stone steps of this house! In between and after dives, we loved sunbathing on the stone deck jutting out over the Caribbean Sea and reading under one of the many shaded spots outside. Most afternoons around 4pm we were treated to a show by a pod of dolphins! We had lunch and breakfast at home most days and even a couple of dinners. The kitchen had everything needed - it was really well provisioned! But when we wanted to go out we didn't have far to drive. Plus beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked perfectly, and everything was neat and tidy. The property feels like you are inside a great walled fortress - safe, private and quiet. Monique, the owner, was great to work with and the Caretakers, Berry and Marion, were perfect too! If you have the opportunity, book Op de Maze for your next trip to Bonaire!

Amazing Property! I would go back in a heartbeat!
This property is amazing! The pictures shown are accurate and show the property well. It is beautiful, comfortable and spacious. The owner, Monique and the property managers were very easy to work with and were always responsive to my questions. Very helpful! Not only that, but they were able to work around our group members' varied schedules. We really appreciated their flexibility. We had 9 of us in our group (made up of both adults and children); we were all quite comfortable. There was a basket of goodies waiting on the counter and in the fridge when we arrived. This was most helpful as we did not have to go to the store right away! Although we had a vehicle we had rented, Barry was willing to pick us up from the airport. The property is on the water and the "House Reef" is beautiful! The home is convenient to the airport and anything else with a short drive. If we go to Bonaire in the future, I will not hesitate staying here again. It is perfect!

Met at airport by very friendly people Berry and Marion. We were escorted to the property and given a tour. There were already essential groceries in the fridge (including beer and wine). Property is beautiful, especially the area around the ocean. You can scuba dive off the back yard. Tarpon play in the lights at night. On every night dive off the back of the property we had tarpon as dive buddies. Incredible!! In the words of the Terminator, 'I'll be back'.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this spectacular home in Bonaire. We were met at the airport by Berry and Marion and directed to our rental car pickup. Marion rode with us to the property while Berry joined us there and gave us a walk through. They had already stocked the fridge with some staples as we arrived in the evening. It was very nice to not have to find a restaurant or grocery store on our first night. The property is beautiful, pictures do not do it justice. There are numerous places to eat, relax, nap, sun yourself, or just enjoy the view. There is wifi everywhere except the furthest most sun deck and direct access to the ocean just down a couple of steps. There is also an outdoor shower and plenty of beach towels. The kitchen is well stocked and there are at least 3 grocery stores within a couple of minutes drive. Grocery prices in Bonaire are very comparable to the US and we could have easily purchased sunscreen, shampoo, etc. instead of packing them. We dove while there and rented tanks from Scuba Friends right at the port. This made it very easy to pick up and drop off tanks and access dive sites both north and south of the house. There is also a very pretty reef right down the steps at the house and plenty of space to wash and clean your gear. There are many more restaurants in Bonaire than there were the last time we were there. Some favorites were Pasa Bon Pizza (one of the best pizza's I've ever had), Cuba Compagnie (great tuna dishes), Bobbejan's (BBQ and fries -Fri,Sat and Sun only), Beer and Burgers, Blue Garden Brazillion Grill, Mezze and last but not least Gio's for outstanding gelato. Prices at all of these places seemed very reasonable. It was a great trip and a beautiful place to stay. The only complaint that we have is that it was over too soon. We would definitely rent this home again and Berry and Marion were wonderful hosts.

Beautiful spot
This was a beautiful place right on the water. Berry was wonderful and was always prompt when we needed him. There's a nice dive site right off the property that you can swim out to. The waters right against the property are the best for swimming... a little rough. The few downsides are that there were only 2 baths for the 3 bedrooms and our bedroom was quite small. Also I wish there were screens on the sliding doors to keep the bugs away once the sun went down. Overall, just a gorgeous spot. Would LOVE to go back!!:)

Directly on the Water and Very Nice!
Berry and Marion met us at the airport. This was our first trip to Bonaire. They took us to the property which is in a quiet neighborhood and directly on the ocean with a ladder into the water. There was a welcome basket and drinks already in the refrigerator. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a complete kitchen. During our stay, we had a minor problem with a sink that did not drain. I called Berry and he came and fixed it right away. I like swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The property has a fresh water shower outside and plenty of space. The diving is very good at this location at #40 on the Franko Map as Lighthouse Point. The weather was nice everyday and we had a nice vacation. http://www.the-world-underwater.com/Caribbean/Bonaire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIusqnkSztg

Stunning house!!
We spent 2 weeks in this beautiful house and the whole experience was wonderful! We were looked after on our arrival at the airport and a hire car was there too! The house is in a quiet area, but you can walk to a small supermarket and a couple of restaurants. You need a hire car to get around. The view from the house is so pretty. The sounds of the waves and birds, the visit of 2 iguanas most days and we also saw a pod of dolphins swimming past one morning!! The island is not too big, so it's easy to go snorkeling or diving at different places every day. A swim in the sea in front of the house is very easy and nice. Snorkeling too! All the furniture was very comfortable and the kitchen is modern, practical and well equipped! I could live in this house and if I go back to Bonaire, I would pick it again. If you are lucky enough to find this house available for your holiday, grab it quickly because you won't find anything better! Thanks to Monique for everything and for answering all the questions that I had beforehand. And goodbye to all the fish and the coral for now ....
