Nice house in a nice neighborhood. A car is definitely needed. This is not our first trip to Aruba, so we knew how to get to anywhere we wanted to go. We spend a few days just relaxing by the pool with the comfortable outside furniture. The rental agency was very prompt responding when I contacted them. When we first arrived, it would have helped if someone one showed us how to set the alarm and how to work the TV"s.(please note that I didn't contact them either )
