ArubaHouse, Deluxe Beachfront Home, Prestigious Malmok

I stayed at Arubahouse as part of a group of 10 adults and 5 children under 4-years-old. The house is fabulous and never felt crowded. Everyone really appreciated having their own bathrooms. I stayed with my husband and 9-month-old child in the master suite upstairs, and it is awesome! The room is extremely spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The view from the upstairs deck (and even the master bathroom) is incredible.

We all used the pool constantly. There are plenty of floats and pool toys for the kids. We brought the beach chairs when we went to the beach (a 3 minute drive away).

The maid service every other day was much appreciated. In retrospect, I’m not sure what we would have done without it! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook elaborate meals. One drawback, though, was that the dishwasher didn’t work well, so we ended up hand-washing a lot of dishes. I agree with one of the other reviews that the kitchen appliances need updating in general.

Holly (the owner) was so helpful and friendly in our email correspondences before and during the stay. We had one minor misunderstanding that she settled honorably, so I felt really good about renting the house from her. Anneke, the caretaker, was also really helpful and friendly before and during the stay.

Probably the most important thing I could say is that I would definitely stay at Arubahouse again!

Rented this property for my mother's 70th birthday,plenty of room for all ten of us.The view from the master bedroom is great. Everyone enjoyed the pool.Your renovation project was exceptional.

I chose this property because it would allow my family group to co-locate. I only wish another family couple could have made the trip, and enjoyed this beautiful house. One of our group loves to cook, and he enjoyed the facilities so much that we skipped the excellent Aruban restaurant venue not once, but twice. The amenities are unbelievable and mostly new. The entertainment room even has a film library. We partook of breakfast and lunch on the back patio near the pool, and a happy hour snack on the front patio off the living room. Being senior it was decided we should take the upstairs suite, but I invited the others to join me on the large balcony for my ritual cigar and scotch (outside, of course). The view that greets you in the morning defies description. You have everything you need at the house, but we had chosen two small autos which made nearly everything on the island no more than a ten minute drive. You might say we liked it. Although it is hard to get our group coordinated on a date, we intend to try and use the Aruba House next year. If we can fill all five BRs it will even be more economical than the hotels with so much more in amenities. By the way, screens and security systems on all the outside doors aren't mentioned but are surely appreciated.
