About this property

Penthouse in Kralendijk -- Waterfront - Beautiful

A beautiful penthouse with 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms , a living room and kitchen /dining room and a large outdoor terrace with bar and BBQ . You will love our oceanfront condo on the boulevard of Kralendijk, within walking distance to restaurants , grocery stores and the main tourist street (Kaya Grandi).

The condo has over 1700 sqft ( 160m2) including the outdoor living spaces . You will have a shaded area to relax outside or you can choose to sunbathe on the lounge chairs . Of course, many days you may end up watching the sunset from the bar .

We have been told many times by guests :”this must be the best view and location in Bonaire “ . Please read the reviews .The penthouse has everything one can wish for : walking distance to the beach in front of the unit and to the next door diving operator and to the famous Karel's pier -Bonaire’s one and only above the water bar and restaurant.

The condo has a firsthand view of the coming and going of the yachts that visit Bonaire and the cruise ships will pass directly in front of you .The security is excellent , a gate key is needed to enter the premises and the entry door is the only door on our floor level. The property is fully airconditioned , a rarity in Bonaire , but trade winds and ceiling fans will allow comfortable sleeping without airco’s in some seasons ,also because the property is fully screened against mosquito's. We ourselves usually start the living area A/C after sunset and the bedroom airco's an hour before retiring . During the day we enjoy the tradewinds which make the penthouse very comfortable , even without A/C.

We believe this is a premier place in Bonaire and we would not trade with anyone else because each morning we enjoy the view of the turquoise waters , the beaches of Klein Bonaire across and the distant view of the mountainous area of Bonaire in the Washington Park preserve. You can also on occasion see dolphin pods pass by while sipping your morning coffee(s) .

In the evening, we enjoy a cool drink –the local Amstel beer is called “Bright” and we rate the sunsets by assigning a number of Brights . A five Bright evening as shown in the photo is the best sunset you can experience in the Caribbean. Fortunately there are many great sunsets …

Local assistance with any problems/questions during your stay and the airport reception will be provided by our very capable property managers at BookavillaBonaire .

We have recently completed a remodeling of the guest bedroom, see photo. We now have room for 5 persons because the Master Bedroom still has the King sized bed , but the second (guest) bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twinXL ( single) bed . This may help to accommodate families with children.

Amazing Rental, Close to Everything
We spent a week at this lovely penthouse apartment. The unit was clean, and set up so there was a constant light breeze through the unit (there is A/C throughout if needed, but we used only in the bedroom at night). The view from the deck/patio was amazing. Perfect location for watching the sunset after a day of diving. It is just a short walk to restaurants, shopping, etc. Property manager was lovely and communication was easy and prompt. If we go back (which we hope to do) my first choice would be to return to this rental!

The location is amazing and we loved everything about the property. It was one of the best supplied vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in and Karin, the property manager, was quick to respond to any questions or minor requests.

Great Location and Amazing Views
This was our first time renting this condo and we stayed two weeks. We felt like we were "home" as soon as we walked in. Absolutely everything you need is there. Since the owner actively uses it they leave a lot of day to day items there. We ate all our breakfasts, lunches and about half our dinners there. The gas bbq grill is a full size and works great. The location is in the middle of town with everything is walkable. The views and extensive outdoor areas are great! A/C's are in each room. When the trade-winds die down they are great to have. The local property manager, Karin, is a gem. Very quick to respond if you need anything and with great advice. As others have mentioned it is two flights of stairs up. It wasn't a problem for us as we leave our dive gear at the dive shop. Parking was no issue for us but perhaps it is different in the high season? We feel the location and grill more than make up for that. We would absolutely rent this condo again when it is available.

About the host

Hosted by Augusta or Herman Amelink

Host profile image
We emigrated from Holland to the USA in 1968 ; both changed to US citizenship. The family is fond of diving , so we have visited Bonaire since 1988 and after vacationing in other Caribbean diving resorts we selected Bonaire as the best choice. After we retired we purchased this condo.

Why they chose this property

Bonaire is a mix of Dutch , American and Lt American influences . Low crime rates and friendly people were important factors for us to choose Bonaire , besides the diving.

What makes this property unique

We walk to the town , to shopping , to restaurants . In the USA we have to drive 3 miles to the nearest store, so this location is a totally different experience . Relaxed living and enjoying the cultural sights and sounds of Bonaire , makes us come back 3 times a year.
