  Need to know before renting
  
  My wife and I had a great vacation in September 2017 and I recommend Curacao and Cas Abou area but before renting this villa and dealing with the managing company you need to know the PROS and the CONS:
  
  PROS:
  - Amazing view and Sunset
  - Great and easy snorkeling right in front of the villa
  - Very quiet area
  - Very well located
  
  CONS:
  - Outside furniture need to be change
  - Many issues, we could have mention it during our stay but because there were so many things we just decide to let it go and enjoy our vacation (no cold water in the master bathroom, front door handle broken, Pedestal Fan not working, Pool light not working, left BBQ burner not fully working, …)
  - Owner need to invest in his villa, I’m sure it was great a while ago
  - Villa not that clean
  
  Even with the CONS, we had a great time but you need to know and decide if you are ok with this and if the price versus what you get is also OK.
  
  PS: When we did complain at the end, the managing company was not at all surprise with our comments and we’ve been told that we should send an email to complain to put pressure on the owner…. I’m ok to put pressure on the owner but I also feel that the managing company should better inform future guest of the real situation.

  Everything you could want and more:
  
  My wife and I stayed 11 beautiful and magical nights at Villa Cerulean for our honeymoon. Everything you could ever ask for and more is provided at this stunning villa and if you happen to find something that you need to ask for, Don and his staff are ready and willing to make it happen. The first night, we arrived just in time for a beautiful sunset and met the wonderful Brigette, whom had our prearranged groceries and cold beer already in the fridge. Whilst we took in the outstanding view and sunset we were greeted with celebratory arrival champagne. After a brief introduction and tour of the house and property we were left with a plethora of materials/information on Curacao and where/what/when things are happening that helped us to enjoy our vacation and let the stress just melt away. The House: It has everything: a full kitchen, a/c bedrooms (much needed in July), large patio, outdoor shower, bbq grill, a palm tree for shade and a plunge pool for when the palm tree just isn’t enough. As if you need more, this villa is oceanfront with access to some of the best snorkeling we saw while on the island. I swam in the ocean every day right in front of the house with only the colorful, vibrant and friendly fish as my company. My only advice has nothing to do with the house, but with the gate at the top of the road, don’t worry if the code doesn’t work right away. Just keep trying, it will eventually work. : Upon the recommendations of the materials we were given we went to many different beaches, restaurants, and activities. First, we highly recommend you ask Angie about her walking, guided tours with her dog Golan. We did the Santa Cruz, Playa Santu Pretu (Black sand beach) and the Blue Room. I do not know if we would have attempted this trek by ourselves but with Angie and Golan it was easy and informative. The Blue room was awesome, from the varying heights of cliff jumps from 2 – 20ft to the amazing blue room itself. If there were more days in our trip we would have definitely gone on more of those tours because Angie is so nice and easy to get along with, and Golan is just a joy to watch, such a happy, intelligent dog. Playa Cas Abao is only a 2 min drive or a 15 minute swim, and was by far one of the best beaches we visited and as we were staying in Villa Cerulean, access to this beach was free! VRBO will not all me to post my whole review, but please ask me anything, I am happy to share.
