Away from the busy hotel row. Everything was only 10 to 15 min. drive away. Nice private house. Loved the dessert area. Walking distance to the gold mine ruin, small natural pool and the natural bridge. I would stay here again.

We had a fantastic time in this original, comfortable, nicely decorated holiday home!
Everything was available, plenty of privacy and peace and quiet!
The communication with Manon was great, we felt right at home thanks to her!
We would love to come back and recommend this beautiful vacation home to everyone:)

 We had a fabulous stay at this airbnb. It was myself, my partner and our teenage son (14 years). The pool and privacy was great to have and it was also nice to be off the beaten path. There’s a great grocery store down the street and it was no more than a 20 minute drive from the house to anywhere on the island. The house was quaint and relaxing. It was our first time in Aruba and having the house made it such an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is located outside of the main towns but no more than a 20 minute drive from major beaches and restaurants. There is a wonderful outdoor space with a salt-water pool, shaded porch, and dining table that we enjoyed every day. The natural setting, especially the stands of cacti and flowering bushes made us feel deep in nature. Inside, the kitchen was well appointed with all necessary appliances and cooking tools. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and individual mini-split AC units that cooled the rooms well at night. We had great communication with the hosts which was much appreciated. I do want to make a special comment on their responsiveness - my daughter had a necklace pendant fall off into the sink. They came out and opened the sink trap and retrieved it for her. This is above and beyond what I expected. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We spent 15 days as a family with two children at Dos Shoco Villa on Aruba and we had a great time. The house is perfect. Everything is available. You can feel like you are at home. But the best thing about the house is the quiet location and of course the private pool. Especially the kids loved it.
The accommodation has made the vacation a special experience for us and was a great starting point for activities. Only a few minutes away is the great Cave Pool, which is best viewed in the morning or evening (before or after the guided tourist tours). Of course, this is especially convenient when the accommodation is next door. :-) 

Manon was a very nice and very professional host. She managed everything and even sent us the exact way to the house after landing at AUA. It was great that we were allowed to stay in the house even after the official checkout until we left for the airport. This made everything very relaxed. Many thanks to Manon for everything!

We enjoyed the tranquility of the house and the area. Lovely swimming pool, you actually only sit outside. Great for peace seekers.

 Absolutely gorgeous views, quiet neighborhood, and super friendly host. Was more than enough room for my family of four. Had various books to read, and games to play for a night in. Would recommend highly for anyone looking for a place away from the busy tourist area. Would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful house. The house has all the comforts  (so you can easily travel with only hand luggage), everything has been thought of.

Dos Shoco Villa is amazing! We were fortunate to spend 2 weeks at this beautiful villa - it was the perfect place for a relaxing family holiday with our 2 and 4 year olds. It is such a tranquil environment and the villa is very clean and well stocked with everything you might need for your trip, including chairs, toys and coolers for the beach. Check in was very smooth and the gardens and pool are beautiful. We particularly enjoyed our sunset swims with views of the cacti! An easy drive to enjoy the many gorgeous beaches on both ends of the island, and away from the hustle of the tourist area to experience total relaxation. Thanks very much for a great stay! Would highly recommend and would love to return…

The house is just as beautiful as shown in the pictures, everything is available - from pool toys, utensils in the bathroom, to the perfectly equipped kitchen. There were even coolers and beach chairs, as well as more than enough towels (luxury on vacation) :-). You could also use a washing machine and dryer. A grill was also available. The house is super quietly nestled between cacti - pure relaxation. The garden and pool were very well maintained - 2 times a week a gardener and pool boy came. Manon was incredibly friendly, very helpful and responds within minutes - a very good landlady who makes any vacation in Aruba easy - including an easy check-in and checkout. Thank you for everything!

  We enjoyed our stay of 3 weeks in this house very much.  The house is comfortable and very well equipped.  The garden is very beautiful and we loved swimming in the pool!  We have been travelling around the island and we’ve seen a lot!  The beaches, of which Mangel Halto was our favorite, are beautiful.  For dinner we recommend Barefoot.  Delicious food and such a nice place where you can sit on the beach as well as on deck. Make a reservation first!  We’ll never forget this vacation!  Thanks for letting us stay in your little paradise!  Liefs van der Hollanders,

We are so lucky to be able to stay from March 1st thru 26th.  This is our second time here and second month! We have already booked for 2023.  Obviously, you can tell we love this villa.  It feels like home.  We have travelled all over the world and Aruba is magical.  The weather is always beaqutiful.the villa is amazing.  Not to mention the food!  We rent a car for the month.  We have been able to explore the island and there is a lot to see.  We have share two weeks alone, one week with friends, and last but not least, 5 days with our 26 year old granddaughter.  What a place to relax, rejuvenate, meditate and enjoy!  Thank you Ron & Ann Marie and Rhonda for your vision! It truly is One Happy Island!!  Enjoy your stay!
