Renter Beware
The house had enough space for our family of 5. It appeared fine, but dated and clean upon our arrival. The second day it rained and the roof and windows leaked. We cleaned puddles from the floor and noticed that mold was on the curtains and water stained the walls from previous rains. The window sills were so rotten that you could see through to the outside, according to the owners replacement windows are in the garage? The air conditioner in the living area only worked intermittently. Which put a real damper on our vacation. A service man came a few days later (because of the New Year holiday?) but still didn't fix it. He said he would be back on Monday, but he never showed up nor did the owners inquire about the repair. The toilet handle in the master bath kept breaking. One sink in the master bath didn't work. We tried to use a blanket in the closet for the beach because there were no beach chairs, as we unfolded it, it was in shreds and unusable.
While at the beach, I met some home owners and inquired about service people on the island. Both families said it was never a problem getting repairs done. The property manager stopped by and was aware of all the issues. My opinion is that these owners knew of these problems and choose to rent regardless. They don't care about customer satisfaction nor their customer's vacation experience.
Perfect Stay
This house was absolutely fantastic. The beds were very comfortable, as was the rest of the furniture in the place. It definitely had a much nicer feel than the high rise hotels.
The drive up through the community, we could not believe how nice it was. It is definitly the nicest property in all of Aruba. The house was very clean, spacious,and furnished perfectly. We had everything we needed in the house. The owner really believes in taking care of his customers. For sure we will rent this house again, during our next visit to Aruba. This vacation was abosulute ten.
Thank you for our great stay in this fabulous house.
pleasant stay
Love the atmosphere in Tierra del Sol. The caretaker was always available when ever we had questions. The house was exactly as described. Pool and BBQ was lovely to have. It was overall a pleasant stay. Thank you for letting us stay at your house.
A Lousy Aruba Trip !
This year we decided to do a trial retirement in Aruba, so we rented a home in Tierra del Sol.
When we arrived the fridge was not working properly and would not keep anything cold. Finally after several calls to the owner of the property, they ordered a new one but not before trying to repair the old one first. Due to the fact that this problem was occurring during the Christmas holiday period, the process as a whole took a couple of weeks. Mean while we ate in restaurants during that time.
We also had trouble with the dishwasher for several weeks on end and could not use it neither. Water kept coming out the front of the door and going all over the kitchen floor.
Then the toilet in the downstairs washroom kept plugging up and we had to get 3 different sewer guys in there to try to fix it. The toilet was all plugged up from tree roots in the front yard. Also all the parts inside were old and leaking, needing to be replaced.
The internet worked fine but there was no way that I could get my Vonage telephone to work, which was a must. Otherwise they would charge me $3.00 a minute for using their telephone. (we used about 2000 minutes during the time we stayed in Aruba.) To avoid this we called in a computer guy, bought all new equipment and set it up on a new router.
Next the upstairs toilet started backing up together with the downstairs toilet and soon the entire main floor of the house was full of raw sewage. At this point we called the owners and they moved us to another property. We ended up being there for 3 days before we came back. Well that was nonsense because no sooner did we get back and the sewers backed up all over again. The sewer line was joined to the neighbours house and they were all plugged up with tree roots. This problem was not resolved quickly and took a few weeks to complete. During this time we and our guests had to shower outside daily with a hose.
In short, this turned out to be a lousy trip for us.
When we approached the owner asking for a refund of
at least one weeks stay - they refused to give us any money back at all. (hence this warning letter. )
The moral of the story is this ... watch out if you intend on renting this particular property as if it were a car, it would called a lemon!
