Additional Amenities & Information:
• Utilities & Rates: Rates include all water usage and up to 40 kWh of electricity per day, with any excess being calculated at $0.48 CAD per KwH, which would be charged separately. Most guests do not exceed this limit if air conditioning is used responsibly, and not left on day and night.
• Parking: There is one parking spot available for our guests at the Bayside parking lot on the west side of the property. You may park your car directly in front of the garage door marked with the number 2. Please be sure to park only in this designated space and avoid parking in front of any of the other numbered garages. Alternatively, you can also park for short periods on the street directly in front of the property, but please be sure not to block traffic.
• Safety Tip: If you plan on swimming in the ocean, it’s recommended to wear water shoes as rocks, coral, and sea urchins can pose a risk depending on where you enter the water.

Local Tips:
• Grocery Stores: Van Den Tweel, an Albert Heijn store, is just a 5-6 minute walk away, but if you have a car, the Vreugdenhil store offers better prices and is a 10-minute drive away.
• Mosquito Repellant: It’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellant, especially during certain seasons.
• Electricity Adaptors/Converters: The apartment uses 220V with European-style plugs (2 round prongs). If you’re coming from North America, you may need an adapter or voltage converter. Most phone chargers are dual-voltage (110V and 220V) and only require an adapter, but it’s good to check the specifications on your chargers. A converter and a 110V power strip are available in the living room.

We look forward to welcoming you to TaBode of Dreams!

This is a beautiful property but very poorly maintained

They knew about a broken window two of them.as a matter fact, prior to our arrival. Also, this place is only air conditioned in the bedrooms, not in any other part of the house, and it is very hot. So you are responsible if you go over a certain energy limit and with Broken windows that meant we had to turn off all air every time we left. Also no dryer when things are so humid! Only a washer. Bring your own detergent. Very lightly equipped kitchen. Nothing extra.

Stunning Location!

The pictures don't do this fantastic location justice. The apartment is on the first floor, absolutely gorgeous with spectacular ocean views. The apartment is well-appointed, with all the amenities you may need while on vacation. It's also within walking distance of many fabulous restaurants and activities. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful location, safe, great communication.

The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. I felt very safe there. Fun to see the wildlife in and out including birds and geckos. Boats coming and going from the island. We had everything we needed to make all our food there. We would recommend the grocery store about 10 mins away for better prices than the local one but nonetheless it was very convenient having one within walking distance.

Awesome Winter Get-Away

We rented this property with my children's Dutch Oma so we could spend a week together. The weather was perfect, the unit was nicely sized so that we did not feel cramped and there was plenty to do with in walking distance. I felt safe letting my teens explore on their own. Everyone was extremely friendly and the food and drinks at the nearby restaurants were delicious.

A large, roomy condo with a fantastic ocean view

The spacious home is in a quiet part of a gated community. Beach clubs, bars, restaurants and a great supermarket were all in short walking distance. The house has plenty of kitchenware and gadgets along with a grill outside. The air-conditioning was almost never needed as the cross breeze through the house is amazing. We would be excited to stay again. The place was as described but the photos do it no justice! It was everything we hoped for.

Dushi house!!Loved it!!! More amazing than the photos!

We absolutely loved this home! So comfortable and extremely relaxed. Walked to the beach everyday and grocery store. Monde was so nice and helpful when we arrived. She guided us to the house as we were lost coming from the airport. Only need the AC at night, so don’t let that detour you from staying at this home. We will be back for sure!

Safe peaceful beautiful

The area is an oasis . Fabulous restaurants everywhere .beautiful beaches . Renting a car is essential as public transit is inconsistant . Suggest you meet Jaanchie at Westpunt for a warm welcome and a unique meal . Our Boca Gentil Appartment was spacious and well equipped but kitchen and master bathroom badly need more air circulation. We stayed for a month and know are way around this maze of roads fairly well . We always felt very safe here . We will be back .

Lovley place!

We had a great time in Jan Thiel and staying at Boca Gentil. Everything was clean and organized, with environmentally friendly features. like recycling, using filtered ocean water. They also had a mosquito trap built in on the deck. Supermarket is in with walking distance with reasonable prices, and bus stop outside the gated community. Our own pool and lounge chars at the beach. The restaurants was very good, with a very well rounded options, plus take out pizza and sushi places. A marina where you can take boat tours from and bus tours comes right to your property, and a rental car agency. we will defiantly come back and stay at this property, check in and check out was very smooth and we could stay until 1pm on check out since we had a late flight. Beds was very comfy, the kitchen had everything you needed.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at this villa was nearly perfect! I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars if possible. The house was quite comfortable. We loved the open air concept, and the breeze blowing through made the AC units unnecessary! We walked to the gym and grocery store every morning and then down to the beach in the afternoons. Jan Thiel Beach was beautiful and not crowded at all which was a concern. The only things that would have made the house absolutely perfect, were more updated bathrooms and a clothes dryer. Although it sounds as if dryers are not available in many homes due to the cost of electricity. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Curacao

Beautiful property, perfect location

We spent 7 nights here in April 2017 and it was lovely. Beautiful views from the patio, the grounds of Boca Gentil are very well maintained, the house was spotless and comfortable and very pleasant. The property managers were extremely prompt and helpful as well. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach, but there are a lot of amenities at the beach area - multiple restaurants and bars, lots of different beach sections for hanging out, volleyball courts, water activity rental shops, etc. There are also lots of people there and it feels a little touristy. We rented a car at the airport and I would definitely recommend it - it allowed us to explore all the beaches we wanted to see on the island and escape from the crowds as much as we wanted. There is also a nice small swimming pool just a few steps from the unit, with lounge chairs and a shaded table set. We spent many afternoons there after sightseeing all morning and it was fantastic. There are lots of birds and little geckos or lizards around the landscaping so there was always interesting birdsong happening and fun activity to watch in the bushes.

Awesome in Every Way

Four of us arrived in Curacao from Ontario on Jan 15 for 3 weeks. Right from the beginning of our booking last spring, nothing could have been better. Never having been to Curacao before, we were able to email Berge with many questions which he was able to answer fully and quickly. The property management rep, was at the villa to welcome and show us around. Of all the properties within this gated community, Casa Vandernak is by far the most breath-taking of all. The unobstructed view of the ocean and the flowers right at the edge of the deck make this place THE NICEST of any of the properties in the area. All amenities necessary for a great vacation are at hand. One note - heed comments from Curacao Tourism about bugs/mosquitoes! They are much smaller than those we have in Ontario; you don't usually see them and don't notice you have been bitten until sometime later. If you are a mosquito magnet, take along a big bottle of Deet repellent and effective "after-bite" cream. All in all, we had a great time.

Thank you

Dear Berge and Yohanna, many thanks again for letting us experiance Curacao, we were 5 friends flying from different countries, who came and enjoyed Curacao. Boca Gentil in Jan Thiel is best place to be. Supermarket is close by and if you feel like going to restaurant is only few min away. House is also very good equiped and we enjoyed morning coffee on veranda with lovely birds. We enjoyed also the nice sunsets from the veranda and cool down in nearby pool. We would surely be back again!!!
