IMPORTANT NOTES:
Upon arrival, there is a cash cleaning fee of $280 USD for the cleaning after your stay. This is not charged through VRBO because your rental payment goes to the homeowners' bank account in America. The cleaning gets done by a local company in Aruba, so it is more efficient to have the cleaning paid out on location.

We highly recommend you take out travel insurance as soon as you book your trip as this provides you with immediate cover for unforeseen emergencies. Travel insurance helps cover financial losses associated with surprise circumstances that could ruin a trip, including illness, injury, accidents, flight or other transportation delays, and other issues. Please understand that if you do not have travel insurance, any losses because of emergencies will be at your own risk and we uphold our VRBO cancellation policy and only refund according to this policy.

Your water and electricity is INCLUDED in your rental.
However, we do take meter readings and ask our guests to be energy concious and report running toilets, turn off AC when the rooms are not in use.

We had an amazing stay! Everything about the house was absolutely perfect. We received a ton of helpful information about the house and Aruba from the owners before we even left. Check in was easy - Daniel the property manager was prompt and attentive and incredibly helpful. He sat with us at check in and gave lots of local recommendations for food and activities that all were spot on! The house was spotless, well appointed and everything worked. Location is perfect and Ting Wei - the local grocery had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great vacation!!

Phenomenal House and Amenities - Highly Recommend
The house is exactly as advertised. The owner was responsive to anything we needed (which wasn’t much). The place was stocked with great beach towels, and plenty of them. Numerous beach chairs that were good quality and easy to carry. Pool setup was top notch and included rafts, fins, and snorkel equipment. Chairs around pool were comfortable and of nice quality. Outside table was large enough for the 8 of us to eat and play games. The hammock was a real hit with the whole family (ages 11 to 75). Beds were comfortable and pillows were plentiful. Less than a 7 minute drive to multiple beaches (including Palm and Eagle). You should rent a car if you stay here as parking is easy around Aruba and at this house. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed, though the grocery stores around the house were a lot (a lot!) more expensive than the ones near airport and town. Ice maker in freezer was robust and a travel beach cooler was even provided in the house.

Fantastic Family Vacation
This was our 4th vacation to Aruba. Villa Carpe Diem was perfect for our family. We have 3 adult children, their spouses and 3 small kids. The host made sure we had 2 high chairs and 2 pack and plays for the 2 little ones. Move in was smooth, with the key right at the front door and Daniel taking us through the house. Daniel's restaurant recommendations were spot on! The house allowed us to swim in the pool at all times, walk to the beach (the sign on the street helped point us through the cactus jungle), prepare some meals, enjoy carry out from some great local restaurants and more! The cooler and beach chairs made the short trip to Boca Catalina perfect. Without question, all our expectations were exceeded. Jose & Rixt's properties will certainly be high on our list for future trips to Aruba!

Perfect home
From the moment I booked this home everything was perfect. The hosts (Jose and Rixt) got right back to me whenever I had a question, no matter how small the question they answered it right away. The location perfect. At the end of the road is a path that takes you right out to the beach by the Ritz. 5 minute walk. The home has beach chairs, cooler and beach towels. The house was the perfect size for all of us. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful and great size for us. There is a laundry room and an outside shower to wash the sand off after a day at the beach. Daniel the property manager was incredibly sweet and very helpful. We were so sad to leave. I definitely recommend this home for your family. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for your hospitality and we will see you again!!!

Perfect home
The house was wonderful! Plenty of room for us all to spread out and have our own space. Having the pool was a blessing, just shower off outside and jump in after a hot day at the beach. The kitchen was fairly well equipped as long as you're not planning anything too extravagant. We were minutes from the high risers and Eagle Beach. Quiet neighborhood. Well kept inside and out and clean. Brought the cooler, chairs and beach towels on all our day trips. Can't wait to return!!

Fabulous Time
We had a great stay at Carpe Diem. The house was in a great location close to restaurants and wonderful beaches. While we didn’t use the pool much, choosing to enjoy all Aruba has to offer, we enjoyed eating and playing games in the outdoor seating area at night. The house was well stocked and we had zero issues while staying there. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Carpe Diem in Aruba. Our family was impressed by the property, the house, and the outdoor pool area.

Exceptional stay for our family - Plenty of space.
Can’t say enough great things about our stay at Villa Carpe Diem. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and the house was immaculate. Air conditioning worked great, the pool was very clean and got a lot of use after our daily beach trips. 1.5 miles from Arashi beach and super close to all of the action downtown. The host(s) were super accommodating and there was even a high chair and pack and play for our 18 month old. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need along with 10 beach chairs and a cooler. Weber gas grill is great if you want to do a BBQ. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.
