Oceanfront Villa, great house reef, near dive shops, restaurants, sleeps 4

This vacation rental features two bedrooms each with two twin-sized beds that can be converted into a king-sized bed. Each room also has air conditioning and a private bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a seating area, and the other a balcony. This accommodation sleeps 4 persons in beds and we recommend only one person for the sleep sofa which is in the living room. The villa is located directly on the water so all rooms, the balcony and the terrace have beautiful views overlooking The Cliff dive site and Klein Bonaire.

The villa is designed for comfort and privacy for four, but the downstairs air conditioned living area has a fold-down couch for an additional guest, as well a third bathroom. The downstairs also features a fully-furnished kitchen with a pass-thru window to a large outdoor dining area, and a large furnished indoor living area that opens to an oversized patio with chaises for relaxing sunbathing or watching the beautiful sunsets.

A stay in this villa gives you access to the Captain Don's Habitat swimming pool and their water access. We strongly advise to use this water entry only.
It is however not granted you will be able to use the Captain Don's dive shop services. This is subject to availability and you will need to inquire with them.

Also within walking distance is the dive shop Dive Friends.

Property on the water in Hato
Reasonable property for the price, nice to have the water view, although no access directly to the water. One has to walk down to Captain Dons, the neighbors will not allow access. Living space smaller than it appears in the pictures, and the furnishings aren’t the most comfortable. There is no eating table per se inside, the dinning table is outside where it is quite hot in the afternoon. The king bed is quite comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The rinse tank leaked, the property manager provided bins a bit into our stay to rinse our gear. It hadn’t been repaired by the time we left ( 3 weeks). Ok for a couple, possibly tight quarters for 2 couples.

Great location - great property
This property is in a great location... it was perfect for my husband and I for our visit. We were expecting another couple to stay with us, but they got covid just prior to their leaving, so they didn't make it. The house was really great for the two of us. The outside space, completely out of the sun, is smaller than we would have liked. The bedrooms are large enough and comfortable with plenty of closet space for clothes; the kitchen is nicely equipped (not just plastic plates and cups), knives, pots, pans, blender, etc. We had an issue with ants and needed more hangers, and the property managers were super responsive and helpful about rectifying those issues. All in all, a great property.

This was a great villa for our 2 week vacation. There were at least 5 restaurants we could easily walk to for dinner. We had our own parking spot at villa and there was additional space for second vehicles if required within the gated area. the views from the property were excellent. Each bedroom had an excellent ensuite bathroom. The railhead shower heads however need replacing -both upstairs bathrooms leaked from the centre hole so it was like standing under a hosepipe rather than a rain shower. The downstairs shower worked well. The beds upstairs were very comfortable. Plenty of hanging space and hangers as well as shelves. The ground floor was the area that most disappointed. The Futon was very uncomfortable both for sleeping and sitting. Sitting was not an issue as we always sat outside if at the property. the kitchen appliances were adequate although it would have been nice to have the water system in the fridge in working order. A dishwasher would also be a very welcome addition. We loved having bbq and used that a lot. If we had wanted to cook inside there would have been very little food preparation area. The laundry area was outside but the drying area was difficult to use. All the lines were on top of each other in a very small space. Other villas had a folding rack they colud use outside for swim, diving items which would have been a good addition.

Excellent house for our family of 4.
I had a brief issue with the Wi-Fi that was solved in a very timely manner. Our teenage kids were able to walk the captain dons and explore on their own. The cliff dive site along with die friends made for an easy David experience. We definitely stay at this property again

Great location! Excellent diving right in the back yard.
This property is in an amazing location. Two dive shops within walking distance. Nice restaurant and bar next door at Captain Don's. The Wall reef right behind the house is a nice dive, plenty of fish and good night diving. Definitely would stay here again.

Oh what a view!
Our family of four loved our stay at this VRBO! Three bathrooms, great air conditioning and a gorgeous view will have us coming back for more. Snorkeling right from the unit is fantastic. We saw two turtles and a 4 foot tarpon, a huge variety of fish right in front of our unit. Communications were excellent with the office. Wonderful time - thank you!

Nice stay
Better than expected. Very quiet and easy walking distance to decent restaurants. Keys handed over out-of-hours at the airport by a taxi firm. An issue with limited outdoor shade each afternoon. A sun umbrella for the yard is badly needed and the parking space bakes in full sun. AC very good but through-draught and fans are even better. Hob cooking is on gas, but NO oven. So no pizza, no baking etc, just a simple microwave with instructions only in Italian! Excellent huge fridge. Mosquito defences are a must outdoors, but the house is bug-free. Being able to drink chilled tap water is a bonus. Easy sea access from Capt Don's pier, but as non-hotel guests staff are very unpleasant if you enquiry about fin hire etc. So best hire from Dive Friends at Hamlet Oasis, but pricey!! Excellent snorkelling in calm water but beware fire coral burns at Dive Friends sea access. There is a narrow boardwalk along the sea edge that leads to Capt Don's. Happily the painful neighbour was not in residence. Rum Runners provides excellent bar service, but quite poor dinner service. Ingridients restaurant is easily the star gourmet experience and amazing value, so pre-book alternate evenings. Local Zhung Kong mini-market carries basic supplies, with six well stocked supermarkets in KJ town. We much preferred Bonaire to Curacao, and marked Aruba as definitely worth avoiding. Aruba is high cost and noisy and has lost discernible Dutch influence, feeling like Florida just with better beaches. Would definitely return to Bonaire and to Hamlet 5 and just buy a sun umbrella.

Beautiful Location
Villa was beautiful, location is great, close to most things. Grocery store across the street pretty solid with most things. Rum Runners is close and pretty solid (great cocktails). Dive Friends dive shop was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Only real negative (which is pretty small) is the water access is either out to the left at Capt Don’s or over to the right at the dive shop. Not an easy walk with scuba equipment so we drove and parked at dive shop for “The Cliffs”. Really enjoyed ourselves. Relaxing week!
