This is one of our favorite properties we have stayed at on the island. From the level of detail and care upon arrival to the time we left, we truly felt cared for by Kristen. The home is absolutely beautiful and the ocean-views from the entire house are breathtaking. We cannot recommend this home or rental company enough.

Fantastic Vacation Rental!

This villa was one of the best vacation rentals in which we have ever staye. The house is thoughtfully laid out. Plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen was easy to cook in after deciphering the Dutch instructions on the oven. Waking up to that view was the best! After diving all day, relaxing in the infinity pool was perfect (and the double rinse tanks made clean up easy). Quiet, safe gated neighborhood, close to town and shopping but far from the craziness of the cruise ship crowds. Beautiful shore snorkeling/diving spots were just a short walk away.

We spent the week of July 8,2018 The house is beautiful and clean. The pictures you see on the web are what you will see when you get to the house. Kristen was very helpful. Security is excellent with a alarm for the house and a secure gate to get into the neighborhood. We will definitely rent this house again.

Best vacation ever! :) Beautiful!

Kristen and Dennis were great ! Kristen was our initial contact and helped us to set everything up. She was very helpful and answered all of our questions. When it was time for our trip, Kristen was on vacation and Dennis stepped in to assist us until Kristen returned. Dennis met us at Villa Oceane and helped us to get settled in. He was very responsive when we needed assistance. The Villa was beautiful and had amazing views! Also, it was very well equipped. Check out day was easy and we didn't want to leave after staying for two weeks. I would highly recommend Island Time and Villa Oceane!!

Perfect Vacation!!

Where do I begin to tell you about our vacation in Bonaire at Villa Ocean, one word. . . amazing. We have been vacationing in Bonaire for 12 years and this was the first time that we decided to rent a house. All I can say is I wish we had found this location sooner. From the first email from Kristen to our final check out with Dennis, it was truly a pleasurable experience. The view is breath taking and the house is lovely, clean and filled with every amenity that you will need. The location is just far enough out of town to have privacy but still close enough to easily dine out. But I have to say, dining in was just as nice, if not better. We are divers, and having wash out tubs and a hanging area right near the truck was the best. I highly recommend this house and island time rentals, you won't be disappointed. We look forward to our next visit, no more resorts for us.

Paradise!

Our stay at Villa Oceane was amazing. This is actually our second time renting the villa and it did not disappoint. The view is amazing and the pool was refreshing and the location is perfect, just minutes from some of the best dive locations. We used the grill and the kitchen every day, with that view and pool its hard to leave the property for dinner. Kristin (from vacation rentals) was also great. She met us the night we flew in and had cold beers and wine waiting for us. She answered all our questions and was available all week in case we needed her. Rent the villa, you won't be disappointed!!

This house was gorgeous and had all of the amenities one would want away from home. The infinity pool was beautiful overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed being able to scuba dive at a close site (Oil Slick Leap) as this became a favorite with our family. It was nice to come home after a day of diving and be able to sit outside and watch the sunset. Having the BBQ was nice as we cooked at home. The place was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. Kristin (Island Time Manager) greeted us at the Villa with a cold drink and was very helpful. She was quick to respond with questions about car reservations, scuba diving companies, and any other items we checked before coming to the house. She also helped with restaurant suggestions, shopping, and so much more. At the end of our trip, it was hard to leave this home and Bonaire.

This was our second trip to this wonderful property! It never disappoints - the house is perfectly situated for spectacular views of the sea in every direction. We rented bikes and did a morning ride along the ocean just below the house and back to the infinity pool to cool off. Diving and snorkeling are conveniently a short walk away. Windsurfing Beach is a nice ride just on the other side of town. The house is well appointed, large rooms give everyone their own space and perfect deck for happy hour and grilling. Kristen was so helpful throughout our entire stay - can't thank you enough! We can't wait to come back next year!

Villa Oceane is a must stay the house is better then advertised and the staff is amazing and friendly. Super easy to check in. The view is million dollar and will impress you and your guests. The home is comfortable and very nice. Ocean Views from masterbedroom kitchen and living room. We spent a lot of time in the pool and on the patio. This home is very safe and convienent. If you dive the north side of the island this is the best location to stay. This house is set up for diving and you are steps from dive sites. Air fills and rentals are 2 min away and there is a great bar and restaraunt within walking distance. Town is close enough about 8-10 min by car.

We had a wonderful week stay at Villa Oceane. We were a group of 5 (2 couples + a baby ) and a mix of divers/non-divers. The house is beautiful and in fact I don't think the pictures do it justice. Everything was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen and bbq were great for preparing meals and the view was spectacular. Rob was very responsive to all of my questions leading up to the trip and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again! The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe and was about a 10-15 minute drive into town. Thank you Rob and Kristen!

Great 'little' Getaway!

We had a great time in this beautiful villa on Bonaire. The view and surroundings are simply breath taking, and even more beautiful than on the pictures. The villa is perfectly located with easy access to the dive spots (right in front of the door), and Kralendijk. The swimming pool, roof top terrace, barbecue, and comfortable beds are simply amazing after a great day of diving! Florian & Cato

Beautiful villa of top quality construction in private mini-community about 8 minutes from town. The sweeping ocean views are amazing. The terrace with dining table, lounging furniture, and private pool will be the gathering spot. The bedrooms were nicely appointed and very comfortable. The large roof deck with more furniture is perfect for star-gazing at night. Rob and Loly couldn't have been more accommodating or helpful. We've stayed at multiple locations around the island: BelMar, Port Bonaire, and another home in the Republick neighborhood. This villa was definitely a favorite for it's beauty, views, and privacy. We'd be happy to stay there again!

Best choice!

We stayed with the family in this beautifull villa for 2,5 week.The villa has stunning views and is perfectly equipped and furnished. We had everything for a comfortable stay. The property was very clean and well maintained. Rob and his wife, very friendly managers of the villa, provide perfect service. We had a great time snorkeling, sailing, surfing, swimming in our private pool and relaxing on the patio/pool deck with its marvelous view. There are plenty of different restaurants in the area. In short, all the ingredients for an unforgettable stay.

What an amazing place!!! My girlfriend and I stayed at Villa Oceane for a week and had such a wonderful time. The Villa is beautiful, the swimming pool is outstanding and the location is unbeatable. But what truly made this experience so wonderful was the personal care and attention we received from Rob weeks before arriving and throughout our vacation.

This vacation rental was everything it promised and more. My partner and I stayed at El Pueblo Villa #6 (Villa Oceane) for 2 weeks this November (2015) and it was the best vacation experience we have had. While making the arrangements Rob and Lolymar were very attentive to our requests and inquiries. They made special arrangements for payment at our request and were always prompt in replying to emails. Island Time Vacation Rentals are able to help with car rentals and have in-depth knowledge of the island to help assist with sight seeing - often providing information regarding the location of markets and other places of interest. No matter how small the question they were always gracious in their replies. Upon arrival we found the house to be in spotless condition. Kristen was at the unit to greet us and offer us a cold beverage. She showed us around and was happy to share her insights on good places to snorkel while on the island. Once left to our own devices the only issues we had were finding the utensils and figuring out how to use the stove. A quick call to Lolymar solved the utensils mystery and the binder in the property directs you to the user manuals for the appliances. Anything we needed was quickly provided with an email or phone call. They provide you with a cell phone for use while you are there. Now on to the important stuff - the view is sublime. Unhindered sunsets and an infinity pool overlooking the caribbean ocean cannot be surpassed. The unit itself is located just outside of Kralendijk in a very safe (and quiet) gated community. Privacy and serenity are extremely important to us. While it allowed us to be away from the throngs of "cruisers" it was also close enough to the town and grocery stores that we were able to shop daily for our provisions. There is a washing machine and clothes line, BBQ, ice and water dispenser on the fridge, a wonderful outdoor shower, dining area on the the balcony and a beautiful infinity pool. During our stay we were provided with a complimentary mid visit cleaning service and the pool was kept pristine. We were there mainly for the snorkelling. Our favourite spots were Klein Bonaire, the National Park and 1000 Steps - although there were many other places that we enjoyed including Lac Bay. We did not frequent many restaurants as we did most of our dining at Villa Oceane. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family!!

Our group stayed at Villa Oceane for 3 weeks late November / early December. Wow! What a view! Took our breath away! This was our second visit to Bonaire but our first staying at El Pueblo Villas. The pictures don't do it justice. You need to rent this villa and go see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!! The location is great! 10 min drive to most places in town. Walking distance to Oil slick and Jeff Davis dive sites. There's a dive shop around the corner at the Caribbean Club where you can rent gear and purchase your marine tags. El Pueblo development is very quiet. The neighborhood is gated and the house is equipped with an alarm system. Villa Oceane provides modern amenities. The appliances are new. There's a dishwasher and a full size American fridge with an ice maker. We also had access to a washer/dryer combo. The infinity pool and outdoor living area is spacious. We enjoyed watching the parakeets fly by every morning. We also used the gas grill and outdoor shower. You'll be spending most of your time outside looking out at the ocean, watching for dolphins and flying fish out in the distance (just like we did)!! The best part about Villa Oceane is the service provided by Island Time Vacation Rental. Lolymar and Rob we're outstanding to work with. They paid attention to small details. Rob answered all our questions and kept in contact before and during our stay to make sure we were enjoying our vacation. Lolymar was there to check-us in. She gave us a detailed walkthrough of the house, even provided us with a cold drink and some inside tips on where to buy fish on the island and what activities to try. Thanks again for your hospitality. Bonaire, we will be back!

The property is really nice and the villa has a great architecture and a very well design, well maintain garden to keep privacy and spacefull feeling. The pool is wonderfull. The neighboroud is quite and making us feel safe. All the amenities are in good condition and WIFI is running quite well making very pleasant to stay at home to rest between 2 dives. Lights are a little bit weak outside but candles supplied are making the charm of dining outside. Almost every thing is included (missing a cork screw) and bathroom are nice and great. The property management team was very arrangeant so we can leave our luggage before the check in and was even proposing us to check out later the day of our departure as there were no immediate customer. BUT FOR SURE THE GREATEST OF THE GREATEST IS THE VIEW. Most likely if we go back to Bonaire, we will rent again. The recommended diving partner was also super. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE NICE TIME.

My mom and I stayed in villa Oceane for two weeks. What a wonderful experience! It all started with a great communication with Kirsten from Island Time Vacation Rentals… before, during and even after our holiday. She answered all my questions within a day, nothing was to much to handle for her. What a nice lady! We arrived in the villa on a Saturday evening where Kirsten was waiting for us with a cold drink and clear information concerning the house. Yes, we LOVED the villa. It’s spacious, modern and well equipped. All luxury is present: comfortable beds, plenty of soft towels, care products, dishwasher, BBQ, stunning swimming pool, breathtaking ocean view… And once a week the swimming pool and the house get cleaned. Once in a while Kirsten came to visit us to check if everything was allright and if she could help us with some reservations. She gave us a cell phone in order to call her any time. So convenient! One day I texted her that the gass bottle of the BBQ was empty and the next day when we came ‘home’, it was fixed. A big pat on the back for the organisation and especially for Kirsten! Do you intend to visit Bonaire? Don’t hesitate to book villa Oceane… you won’t regret it! Just one word… amazing! Best regards, Isebel & Josephine

Wonderful week.....we want to come back!

This was our first trip to Bonaire and definitely won't be our last! Booking a vacation rental in a foreign country is always a little scary....you worry about being taken advantage of. Kristen was able to help communicate back with us so we knew that it was a legitimate rental and that there would be a great place for the family to enjoy. Luckily for us when we arrived, it was easy for us to figure out how to get to the community. It's a short drive from the airport, yet in a nice, secluded part of the island. And even though it's about 10 minutes to the main part of the island, you are seconds away from great dive / snorkeling sites! Kristen provided us with a list of stores and restaurants to consider for our trip. When we landed, we decided to skip shopping and headed straight to the house. Upon arrival, we found out that the fridge was broken. Had we bought a weeks worth of groceries, they would have been ruined. Kristen notified us that they were trying to get someone to come repair the fridge for us. Since it was a Saturday, we figured it would be hard to get someone until Monday. Luckily we were able to go down the road and get items we could cook for the night. On Monday, Kristen let us know that they would be purchasing a new fridge since the repairs would not be completed during our time there. They soon had a brand new fridge in and a reservation at Rum Runners for us as a thank you! Kristen was in contact with us for most of the week, helping as needed and making sure all of our needs were met. She was like our own concierge for the trip! The house is very nice. The kids particularly loved the pool and the mosquito nets at the house. We loved that we could pop down to Oil Slick, Jeff Davis and 1000 Steps and be back in a couple of minutes. The back patio and roof top deck were especially nice to hang out on...I think we spent more time there than inside the home. The oven took some time to figure out, but we eventually got the hang of it. There is enough breeze around the house that you can open up the back and front and not worry about the AC. If you are considering a trip to Bonaire, you should consider this home. It's slightly higher than the condos closer into the city, but the privacy (we never heard / saw the neighbors) and the private pool are worth it. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us, and if the kids had brought friends, there was still room! Rent a pick up truck and take an afternoon discovering the island!

Our family came to Bonaire on a dive and snorkel vacation for springbreak. We usually rent villas or homes since it makes it so easy for comfort, eating in, and relaxing rather than being crammed in a hotel room with nothing to do. This villa did not disappoint us on all fronts. The private location and very private pool were fantastic. The appliances and other amenities were newer and worked well. The grounds were very nice and with the flowers blooming, it made it a butterfly garden. The rooftop patio was awesome in the morning with a nice breeze as well as evening to watch the sunset. The two negatives (and these are minor) is that in the mid afternoon, the sun coming in through the kitchen window is pretty strong. A better blind or shade would help out. The second was the pillows - they were a bit firm for our taste. But again, these are minor in comparison to what the overall villa delivers. I would highly recommend for families and even for romantic honeymoooners.
