Villa Mariposa - Private pool - volleyball court - quiet and serene villa!

PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH OUR DESCRIPTION TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY RULES/FEES/ADVISE/AMMENTIES.

This villa is spacious and has beautiful outdoor space. The 3 bedrooms can easily sleep 8 guests without being overcrowded. Furthermore our bathrooms are modern and clean and have hot water. The whole villa is airconditioned so you can cool down on nice cold sheets at the end of a long day of fun in the sun.
Let's start with the master bedroom. It has it's own private attached bathroom, is fully airconditioned, has a TV in the room and it also has TWO KING beds in there. The other two bedrooms each have a QUEEN bed and they have a shared bathroom.
In total there is space for 8 guests, however we do have a crib available and can add one small guest.
The comfy living room is a great place to relax and watch TV and there is an extra bathroom right by the living area. Terrace doors give you a nice view to the pool.
In the open kitchen you can find anything you need to comfortably prepare meals at home for your family. We also have any needed appliance like a dishwasher, microwave, blender, new stove and oven, extractor, pots and pans, coffee maker and a tea maker.
A large dining table is situated right next to the kitchen. From the kitchen, enter through terrace doors to a large patio where you will find another large dining table and lounge set, and to complete things, a great BBQ. The pool is gorgeous and the lights at night are very pretty. Here you can enjoy your delicious meal while enjoying the beautiful sunset right from your patio.
Around the pool we have great lounge chairs to enjoy and relax on, either in the sun or the shade. We even have a private little sandy beach area behind the house with a volleyball net and cabana, so you can pretend to have your own private beach. At night there is a small lighthouse illuminting this area which is really pretty.
Did I already mention the great DECK on top of the patio? You will be able to see the whole coast and enjoy the sunset right in your own home.
Furthermore we have beach chairs for you to bring to the beach, beach towels and a cooler. This will save you a bundle on chair rentals at the beach. Aruba's beaches are PUBLIC so you can use these beach chairs and sit on any hotel beach in Aruba.

We value your safety so we have a great alarm system with 24/7 monitoring and a safe to store your valuables. We also have WiFi, hot water, the whole property is fenced and we have place to park 3 cars on the car port. Did I already mention we even have a washer and dryer?

Does this sound like what you, your family and friends need? Come and have a great Mariposa Experience! Check our facts and learn what more you will find in our Villa Mariposa!

No need to leave home to have a great vacation, BUT if you want to see the beach and all the hotels with spas, casinos and restaurants, they are RIGHT ACCROSS THE ROAD, 5 car minutes away.
We are Premier partner on HomeAway so you will be in good hands with the Marin Family! You can read all our reviews of the multiple properties we manage.

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 have been to Aruba several times and this is by far the very best home we have ever had the pleasure of staying in! Not only is the view spectacular, but the home is absolutely stunning from top to bottom! No doubt, on our next trip, we will be booking again! Thank you for everything!

Great place to stay, clean and pool.
We had 3 groups of 2 (friends) which worked great. 3 bedrooms worked great. Pool was awesome, very clean and quiet. Zero issues with the property,. 😎 Groceries on the island are expensive so be prepared for that.

Graduation Celebration 2017
We took our family to Aruba to celebrate our daughter graduating from High School. It was the best decision we could ever make. We found a perfect house to rent for the week and it had everything we needed. The Homeaway people and the property managers were the best and made this a perfect trip.

Excellent property
Our group of 4 loved this home. It was spotlessly clean with cozy beds and plenty of space for us to spread out and have privacy when we needed it. The pool was so nice to spend time around after a day at the beach and star gazing from the second floor patio was incredible. Daniel and Freya from the management company were always available and answered inquiries very timely. They also helped us with recommendations on things to do and places to eat and even helped arrange a private chef to cook dinner for us at the home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beyond Words Spectacular
The warmth of Daniel’s welcome to the property was amazing and beyond words. They were accommodating to requests, offered recommendations and provided the best possible stay. I cannot recommend Casa Mariposa more. With its privacy and openness, you are going to enjoy your stay 100%. The pool and private beach all in line of sight from the outdoor table made it easy with my 3 year old for swimming and sand play. Thank you for being wonderful hosts.

The house was in excellent shape. Jose was there to fix some small details and always in a good mood. The location of the house could not be better, the peace and quiet of the pool area is incredible. Only five minutes from Arashi and the local markets were very useful. I recommend it to everyone.

amazing vacation
We just got home and had a great vacation in Aruba. Opal 57 was a great house. It was clean, welcoming, large and the back yard area is amazing to say the least. We had two families and split the house. There were 7 of us total and we never felt cramped in any way. We were just minutes from the beach and high rise hotel area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house and landscaping is beyond words. What a view of the beautiful landscape and gardens. We felt like island residents. So peaceful and relaxing. We traveled and visited a lot of Aruba's historical sights. Daniel was an excellent host. He was available for all our questions and gave a lot of suggestions. Thank you Daniel! See you next year.

Paradise!!!!
Just got back from a week staying in Casa Mariposa. What a property. It had everything we needed. Communication was great and Daniel our check in concierge was very professional and polite. His recommendations were spot on. Traveling with my parents (70s) and children (5 and 2) this was the perfect place. Plenty of space. Super clean. Private. Pool and patio are the best. Always felt super safe in the area. Separate rooms and bathrooms for all. Great location. Couple minutes from everywhere. Rented a car and saw so many nice beaches. Would definitely rent again. Thanks to all involved. Well done with Casa Mariposa.

A perfect oasis
We searched long to find a home rental in Aruba for our two families traveling together. We had 4 adults and 4 kids ages 6-13. This house was a perfect set up for us. The pool area was phenomenal and the kids spent hours swimming. It was so easy to sit out on the patio couches and relax. The sunset view from the rooftop patio was unreal. The house was spotless and updated. We will definitely be back in the future at either this property or another of their properties. I had such a good experience from booking to check out with Jose and his team. We had zero issues and they were so responsive with any questions. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

Fantastic!
The home was as advertised, and beautiful! We stayed here with our three young adult sons and 100% had an amazing vacation. The home was beautiful and the outside space was absolutely perfect. Location was good, close to beautiful beaches and restaurants/shopping. Kitchen set up was perfect for preparing our fresh caught fish from our fishing charter! We explored the whole island and did so many fun activities! Windsurfing, SeaBob motorized ocean scooters, UTV tour, De Palm Island, sooo many beautiful beaches and snorkeling! Aruba Aloe tour was very interesting. Wonderful family vacation ! This home was the perfect place to relax and enjoy after our fun days exploring. The backyard views were just beautiful. If you look closely, there are hummingbirds feeding in the landscaping. Beautiful sunsets! It was everything we wished/needed it to be. 10/10 !!

Dreamy and Perfect Paradise
My husband and I have stayed in many private rentals over the years but this was our first visit to The Happy Island of Aruba. We enjoyed every minute of our much needed vacation/Anniversary celebration. The Casa Mia is wonderful. Out of all the villas we've stayed in the Casa Mia is our favorite. The layout, floor plan worked great for us while enjoying the fabulous private pool. A favorite activity poolside and in the sandy backyard was watching the birds and wildlife. It was so peaceful and quiet. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was top notch for cooking and preparing our own breakfasts and snacks. The showers were great and we slept well on the Master mattress. Check in was easy. Daniel was a wonderful host. He was prompt. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful with his suggestions and things to do during our stay. Casa Mia was so convenient and close to many of the beautiful beaches Aruba has to offer and we found Casa Mia to be a perfect location for dining, shopping and nightlife but quiet and away from all of that with just a short drive. Our trip to Aruba was one of the best trips of our lifetime and we are so grateful we were able to stay in such a beautiful paradise called Casa Mia. It was like a postcard.

Great Location and Nice Property
Our family stayed here 10 days for my twin sister-in-law's birthday. We were met upon arrival by Daniel, the property manager who showed us the operation of the unit and gave us some excellent suggestions for grocery stores, beaches and restaurants. Aruba is not a big island and this place is located within easy driving distance of everything. We enjoyed the patio, private pool, kitchen and living room with our group of 5. The only negative thing that happened to us was the AC unit in the main area stopped working 2 days before our departure but this isn't the fault of the owner or property manager, just one of those things that happens. They responded within minutes and were there with a technician who had to take the motherboard back to his shop for repair. The cook top took a bit of figuring out. You have to have a pan on the burner in order to get it to work. Go to the Wacky Wahoo's for excellent fish, chicken and service. Overall a great stay and we look forward to our return to Aruba!

Perfect home, Great location, Wonderful Hosts
This was our first time staying in a house in Aruba. Since it was our first time in a house, we decided to test it out with a short 2-day stay. In hindsight we should have stayed at this home the entire week. We searched through hundreds of properties to find the right balance of privacy, location, outdoor living space and amenities. We had very high expectations and this home exceeded all expectations. The pool was large, very clean and the water was crystal clear. The palm trees around the pool area allowed us to lounge in shade during any part of day if desired or we could lounge directly in the sun. The 2nd floor patio was incredible for unobstructed views of the sunsets and was also our exercise area under the stars in the early morning hours. The entire house was very clean. The neighborhood was very quiet during both the day and night. My favorite aspect of the house is the expansive and unobstructed view from the pool and outdoor living areas while having total privacy. Daniel’s Customer Service and response to inquiries was incredible before and during the visit. There was a lot of informative communication and reminders sent through e-mail in advance of the trip to assure we were fully prepared. We will be back!

Loved Aruba!!
We loved our stay! Jose and Rixt were so wonderful to work with. Their package of the home details was so informative and well detailed. They gave quick responses. It’s a beautiful home! We absolutely loved the pool. We had pool sun from morning to night. Aruba is windy BUT it would be very warm without it. The location is ideal, very accessible to the main roads of the island. Loved the various beaches - especially Palm Beach and Arashi Beach. Only minutes from the MANY restaurants in the Palm Beach area. We could use the free parking in the Palm Beach area. We loved the rooftop deck on the house, even though it can be pretty windy. Beautiful sunset views from the rooftop. The home was very well supplied. Loved the privacy of the back yard pool area. We had two couples at the home. Only one bedroom has a bathroom en-suite. So the other couple had to use the bathroom down the hall from their bedroom. Only drawback of the home. It was always such a joy to come home each day! Thanks for such a great experience!
