Why Bonaire? : We have traveled all over the Caribbean for many years, always with the dream/goal of buying our own place on the water. We love to be active, but we also love to relax on the beach. When we finally ticked off Bonaire on our list of places to visit, we immediately knew we had found our second home. During several visits we searched for the perfect place, and finally found it. We bought our little gem, OceanScape Bonaire, in early 2008, and in late summer 2010 we could not resist the opportunity to purchase OceanVista, our fabulous penthouse.

If you are making the trip to Bonaire, you probably already know the main activities are scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, windsurfing, kite surfing, fishing, biking, and hiking. Port Bonaire is constructed at the edge of a channel with a protective jetty in front, so entry to the sea is always calm and easy. Donkey Beach/Windsock, just next door, is one of the most popular beaches on the island, accessible thru a secure access gate.

Why this location?: ***Snorkel and dive directly in front of the condo. Easy ladder entry for you to use, steps away from your door, very short swim to 18th Palm or Windsock dive sites. ***Spectacular snorkeling and diving right in front of you. ***Dockside rinse tank, freshwater shower, and hanging hooks. *** Walk to beach. Donkey beach/Windsock is a few steps south of your condo through a secure access gate.

** Dive shop on site. Dive Friends runs a full operation on site. *** Close to the action. You are less than a 10 minute drive to the coveted south shore dive sites or windsurfing at Lac Bay, and 5 minutes to the center of Kralendijk. *** Easy access to the airport, rental cars, grocery, and a short walk to Plaza Resort, where you will find boat rental, water sports, tennis and restaurants.

We don't even rent a car when we arrive! We roll our luggage across the street and get settled in, and then rent a car later when the crowds have died down at the car rental counters, or even the next day.

Why OceanVista?: ***Top floor and the additional sense of security it brings, not to mention the incredible view! *** Beautifully decorated with nice, comfortable furnishings *** Master suite with private bath, opens onto balcony ***2nd bedroom with private bath, converts with lock-out doors to also accommodate loft guests while still maintaining privacy for all *** Loft with sleeping area and large office including secure internet connection and printer ***Plenty of windows to open, all with mosquito screens, or Air-Conditioning is available throughout the entire condo. ***All beds have memory foam toppers *** Full kitchen, very well equipped for cooking casual meals or formal dinners *** Space to spread out with plenty of closets *** Incredibly beautiful view from the balcony or master bedroom *** Large swimming pool right on the oceanfront with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. *** Beautiful tropical gardens full of butterflies and songbirds surround the small, peaceful complex of 26 unit
