FAQ
How far is the beach?
The local beach at Savaneta is just 90 seconds by car, I say car as I pack it with chairs, beach towels, cool boxes and beach equipment. (All at the villa for your use) Easier than carrying it! To get there turn right out of the villa, (before the road bends right towards the main road) turn left onto the sand ( just past the houses with the blue roofs) you can access the beach there via a jetty, the beach is down the path to the right.

2. What is Savaneta beach like?
Savaneta Beach is a small local beach, it is sandy with a rock pool and jetty. It's great for seeing fish even in the shallow water. It is quiet and more often than not you will be the only ones there.

3. What other beaches are close by?
All along the coast road are beaches to explore, Manglo Halto, Santo largo and a new beach just the other side of the marine base, these are the closest ones, just minutes away, Baby Beach is a 15 min drive south and is beautiful!

4. Where is best for snorkelling?
Manglo halto is great for snorkelling, Aruba bob runs snorkelling trips there. Most beaches have lovely fish but another great place is de palm island. Here you can do a sea walk (in a divers helmet) and the fish there are amazing! They also have flamingos!

5. Does the villa have snorkels?
Yes, we have snorkels.

6. Are all towels and linen provided?
Yes, we supply all towels, beach towels and linen.

7. Where are the nearest supermarkets?

Just along the street from Chow’s supermarket is a bakery (blue building) There is also a bakery/cafe on the main road called House of Cakes.

9. Are the local shops open late?
The supermarkets open late, chows 8pm, new food 9pm and some of the others on the main road until 10pm.

10. Are there any bars in Savaneta?
There are bars on the main road that open late or across the street is The Flying Fishbone for a cocktail and watch the sunset. Zeerover also has a local bar and has sports channels on large TV screens.

11. Where are the nearest restaurants?
The nearest restaurants are The flying Fishbone and Zeerover, both just across the street. There are many others just a few mins drive away, these include, Marina Pirata, The Terrace, House of Cakes, Kaminis Kitchen and O’Neil’s Caribbean kitchen in San Nicholas, to name just a few

12. Is Savaneta safe?
Yes, Savaneta is very safe, it has a local feel and the residents are kind, helpful and friendly.

13. Is early check-in or late check-out available?
If we have no guests due, late check-out or early check-in can be arranged free of charge

14. How good is the WiFi
The wifi is great! We installed two routers so the internet would be accessible both inside and outside of the villa. So staying connected around the pool is no problem!

Island Life
My husband and I want to retire to Aruba so rather than staying in the high rises, we appreciated this opportunity to live like locals. Aruba is all about outdoor spaces and this property offers an amazing outdoor living space. The pool is beautiful and there was plenty of shade available to escape the mid-day sun. The outdoor space also includes seating, an awesome tiki bar, a gas grill, and even a clothes line to dry your towels. The only reason to go inside is to sleep, shower, or cook. We only used the air conditioning at night in the bedrooms. Otherwise, we left the windows open to enjoy the cooling trade winds. The neighborhood was safe and we enjoyed sharing our leftovers with the island cats. Patrick and Debbie, thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Two Weeks In Our Garden Oasis
What a special property. It's completely private in the walled oasis, and the salt water pool is just lovely. We lived outside in the shade under the roof, and in the sun on the pool deck, and used the tiki bar every day as the outdoor kitchen. The inside was perfectly serviceable and the kitchen very adequately equipped . Our hosts very kindly left a generous supply of starter snacks and drinks, as well as basic supplies like dish soap, paper towels, coffee filters, etc. A few notes - you need a car. You can walk to water views and even placed to climb in to snorkle, but you really have to drive to the beach. Beaches, I should say. We saw and hung out on many really spectacular ones down on the south end and all are about a 15 minute drive. Savaneta is a fishing village with limited resources and restaurants. You can do very well, but if you expect continental or American style you'll have to drive 10-20 minutes (lots of variety) to the north. The local selection has a lot to offer, fresh fish being the best among the choices! The grocery stores are plentiful and there's lots to come back to your private oasis and grill a nice meal in the tiki bar. Debbie and Patrick couldn't have been kinder, more accommodating hosts! They were accessible without invading our privacy in any way, and were very responsive to any small issue that might arise. All in all -- a lovely, private, wonderful stay! Would suit two couples or a family very nicely, and completely special just for my husband and me.

Great time at the house.
We enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very nice and accommodating. The backyard and the pool are amazing. I think the pool is salt water, which is very nice. Everything else is a short drive away.
