This is the second time we've stayed in Dolphin House. We love it here. The view from the deck and the sunsets are amazing. We also loved seeing the iguana(s) in the hedge, feeding the Venezuelan Troupials, Bananaquits, and watching the two parakeets fly by.The house is near several beaches, a great restaurant--Eetcafe De Buurvrouw (The Woman Next Door), and the Flamingo Sanctuary.The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The owner, Paul, caretakers, Ingrid and Ivan, were so nice. They quickly answered any questions and were most helpful.I at 81, my friend at 67, and her daughter at 42 found that Dolphin House is perfect for us, and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.

The house is amazing with feeling of being outside and the pool and outdoor space integral. Location is perfect for a relaxing trip - not too close to all the hubbub but also with access to restaurants and beaches close by. Kitchen well appointed. Nice extras of beach and snorkel gear available to use. Ingrid was very helpful with tips and recommendations. We had a seamless experience and would highly recommend.

Lovely property, exactly as described on the website. The location is excellent for short trips to the best beaches and a quick drive to the various attractions on the island. The manager was super accommodating and very responsive to inquiries (with a wealth of knowledge on places to visit, best supermarkets, restaurants etc.).We can absolutely recommend this property for a family!

Adventure in Curaçao!

My family and I greatly enjoyed our adventure in Curacao! Myself, my husband and our twin 16 year old boys explored, relaxed and ate our way through the island. What made the trip perfect was booking and staying at Dolphin house. The house and Coral Estates meet all our needs. We wouldn’t change a thing!

This home is absolutely fabulous! The pool and the view is spectacular. The property is clean and well-maintained. One of the property managers met us upon arrival and answered questions and helped us get started with our vacation as well as kept in contact via Whatsapp when we had questions. The home is everything it said and pictures are 100% accurate. The property owner kept in contact as well and was of great assistance once our plane landed. The home has everything you could need to have a pleasant stay. 5 stars across the board! We would definitely stay here again!

Great property and a beautiful island

We have used VRBO several times and this has been the best villa we have stayed in yet. The location in coral estates was quiet and safe. The house was well stocked and in excellent condition. It is about 30 minutes from the city but close to all the nicest beaches for scrumming and snorkeling. You will want to have a car but the island was easy to drive around.

Island Getaway

The house was as pictured. The outside was wonderful for swimming, dining and relaxing. The kitchen was the best stocked that we have seen in all the properties we have rented. It has been well cared for. It was also nice to have the restaurants available down in the resort area. Ingrid was fabulous as the local contact/manager...she even went and picked up our pizza after we found out that they couldn't deliver it (our husbands had taken the car to go fishing) and paid for it since they wouldn't take our credit card over the phone (we did reimburse her of course)...she went above and beyond and DEFINITELY appreciated. She responsive our whole stay. It was a great stay!!!

Dolphin House on Curacao

The Dolphin House is everything it promises to be and more. The view and pool are fantastic. Curacao is warm and we used the pool at least 2-3 times daily to cool down. The pool was very private which also makes is doubly beneficial. The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked very well. All in all, this house is in a very private, quiet neighborhood located very central to all the great beaches. You will enjoy yourself staying here.

Beautiful stay!

The Dolphin House was a quiet getaway for my husband and I. The villa was just as pictured, in the gated Coral Estates, with a 2 min drive down the hill to two restaurants and a cafe/pizzeria with coastal, sunset views. Also conveniently situated to local markets, with short drives to either Westpunt or Willemstad. Comfy bed. Good water pressure in the shower. There was something so soothing about waking up to sunshine and bird song, putting on a pot of coffee, then taking a morning swim in the pool. We highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

The listing was exactly as described. The house had a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of pool & beach towels. The best part was the wonderful pool in a private setting with a gorgeous view of the sea. Nancy and Ingrid were immediately available to answer any questions. You will need a vehicle because there is not much to do nearby but that didn't bother us in the slightest. I would definitely return.

Nice house with nice pool

It was clean, quiet and comfortable place with good sized pool. It also had very well-equipped kitchen, comprehensive house manual, and the house manager who was very helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay in this place except we had two problems. There was a door for the master bedroom, but no door on the bathroom connected to the master bedroom. The bathroom was L shaped and all you could see at the entrance (with no door) was a sink and mirror. But we like to do our bathroom business in absolute privacy even after 35 years of marriage. It may not be an issue for some people , but we just wished that there was a door on the bathroom. Pool and patio faced west like most of properties around here. Somedays, the late afternoon sun was so strong to sit and enjoy, we had to hide in the shady corner of living room (60% of living room was covered with sun light) or stay in bedroom with curtain closed. Some other places we stayed in the Estate had retractable awning or canvass clothes we could put up to block the sun in patio. I think it might be helpful if they had something similar.

Had a lovely stay at Dolphin House. Loved the location mid-island - very close to the best beaches. Daisbooi beach is 5 mins away and a beautiful gem! Rented a car and drove all over the island and loved coming back to the fabulous pool. Somehow it always stayed refreshing despite the hot weather. Great property - very private and safe. Loved watching all the birds - particularly the yellow headed parakeets. Thank-you Nancy Jo and Ingrid!

Great location close to beaches

We had such a nice stay at the Dolphin House. It's in a perfect location, very close to a number of beautiful beaches and great snorkelling, something we love to do. Coming home each day to this little oasis with a private pool was the definition of luxury. By the end of our 10 days, we were practically living beside the pool. We sampled many of the beaches up the coast, but for us, the best snorkelling we found was right off the dock at the foot of this resort, beside the Karakter restaurant. We spent a lot of time at the coffee shop/bread shop/pizza store -- they were awesome and the prices very reasonable for a resort. We had a couple of meals at Karakter, and the same: excellent quality and reasonable price. Go there! All in all, a great stay. We had some rain to deal with but the sun still shone every day. We can't wait to go back! Thanks Nancy Jo for all the email messages ahead of time getting us set to go, and special thanks to Ingrid and Ivan -- they are great property managers.

A place for couples

This home is a place for couples or perhaps someone looking for relaxation. My husband and I celebrated his birthday and our anniversary. The atmosphere is for people who just want to relax. We were here one week and wish we would have booked two weeks! We both have very busy lives at home. We work with people all day long. I even had to make business calls and deals while here on the island. Nevertheless, the pictures do not do justice to the actual scenery. We plan to come back. This is just what we needed!

Relaxing Paradise

We were looking for a property on Curaçao that would give us a level of privacy and also be close to good snorkelling locations. Dolphin House was exactly like the photographs. It was absolutely beautiful . The view from the deck across the pool was to the ocean, unobstructed by other properties . On the one side that there is a neighbour there is a substantial hedge which gives complete privacy to the backyard. When we returned to the property in the late afternoon each day we were eager to get into the pool to cool off from the drive! We loved having a BBQ as we ate most dinners at home and then sat out in the backyard. The Pandemic is still an issue for us and we wanted to be be able to be apart from other people and this property allowed us to achieve that. We loved having a BBQ and used it a lot. We ate all our meals outside and sat outside in the evenings. Most days we were at various beaches but tried to get home by 4:00pm for a quick dip in the pool while the sun was on it. The patio was hot at this time as it was in full sun for a short time but being able to get in the pool meant that we were fine. By 5:00pm there was enough shade to enjoy our pre-dinner drinks! We just used the Master bedroom and mostly only that bathroom. I love having a shower you just walk around a wall to get in. In the mornings it was lovely having th sun outside the window and hearing the birds singing. The lawn chairs in the condo were useful to take to the beach incase we couldn't get a lounger. Ingrid.the property manager was very helpful and responded quickly too all of our requests for assistance or information. We ran out of BBQ propane and sent her a message to let her know, within an hour she was at the door with a replacement bottle. We certainly didn't expect that speed of service. This was an incredibly relaxing vacation and I would love to return.

Amazing

This house was very nice! We stayed here for a week and couldn’t have asked for anything better. The location was great for getting around the island. It is in the middle of the island so nothing is too far away. The house was clean and very nice. Ingrid as well as Nancy Jo took care of any questions or concerns we had. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need to cook with. The beach chairs came in very handy to take to the many beaches that we explored. Lastly the house felt secure at night and was in a gated community.
