Great Stay

We very much enjoyed the tranquility of the house and neighborhood with some of the best snorkeling on the island in the backyard. We love Curacao and this is one of our go to houses to stay in.

Perfect place

We loved the sea glass house. We hoped to get in the water right outside the property but it was a little too rough. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks was so relaxing. Wish there was a little more place to park since we came for a family reunion but no one came over since there wasn’t extra parking but they could park down the hill and walk up if they really wanted. Check in and check out was great. They gave us a allotment of how much electricity we could use. I didn’t expect that but I think a lot of places do the same. Plus we were way under since we only used one bedroom at night to cool down. It’s quiet but still pretty close to everything you need.

Amazing Stay and fantastic Reef behind home

The house is as advertised and how it appears in pictures. The reef out back was snorkelled every day by our group in all water conditions. On rougher days it should only be attempted if you are strong swimmers. The house is very tired and needs some TLC. Some paint and foliage to make it more appealing like some of the other neighbouring homes. There were electrical issues and the master bedroom had no electricity for 9 out of our 10 night stay. We had 7 people in our group, so not utilizing this room was not an option. It is tricky showering and packing in the dark and inconvenient not having outlets to charge cameras, phones, or blow your hair dry. Dirk was fantastic and provided us with a remote light to use. We also had some lights of our own to navigate in the room at night. Its is very dark at night. He referred doctors to us when some of our group needed medicine for ear infections. One of the other bedrooms had electrical issues for a day but resolved itself. We also had issues with AC's tripping breakers if we used the clothes dryer. Dirk did have electricians come on two occasions, but with no resolution unfortunately. We had a pretty easy going group and for some the electrical issue would have been a deal breaker. I would stay here again, but would need to confirm electrical issues are resolved or be provided with some compensation for the inconvenience. The rental rate we paid all rooms should be operating fully.

The view is AMAZING

First off, this place was beautiful with probably the best snorkeling on the island. But there are some things people need to know before staying here. Read the fine print and find out if they are going to charge any for electricity. If they are allowing 15kw per ac unit per day, that allows you 60kw per day. Realistically, in a weeks time, if you only run the bedroom units at night when youre sleeping and only run the living room ac for an hour or 2 per day when youre hanging out at the vrbo, youll probably spend anywhere from $0 to $50 extra per week. When we were there the timer on the dryer was broken and we didnt realize it. One day it ran about 5 hours while we were out snorkeling and didnt realize it wouldnt turn off. In that 5 hours it used around 20kwhs. So make sure to pay attention to that. Pay attention to the overflow on the septic tank. If it starts to spill over you need to immediately let the property manager know because it could be days before a vacuum truck can get there,and youll be smelling poo until they do. Id venture to guess its like this for most houses on the island, so you might run into that on any vrbo here. The property manager was awesome and the place was gorgeous. Wed definitely stay here again but just wanted to let everybody know of what they need to be aware of when staying here.

The best snorkeling on the island is in your "backyard" at this property! We went to over a dozen different beaches and found the best snorkeling right outside/behind this house! See photos of the grotto/entry point into water on the property listing. The host and local property manager were quick to respond. Worth mentioning that the property location is very remote but there are a few restaurants within 10-30 mins (at Playa Lagun, Playa Forti, Bali, etc). The house is well equipped as described in the listing.

For ocean lovers and quiet getaways

The house sits right above the ocean. The house has its own entry into the ocean. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. If you want to have a girls weekend where you just relax enjoy each other and enjoy the ocean views this is your place. If you are a family that loves to just dip into the ocean whenever you'd like, this is your house. Leaving the busyness of Willemstad behind, we found this house to be very inviting. You will need a rental car. You will also be questioning yourself as to where you're going when you're driving to the house, but believe me it is worth it. Follow the hosts instructions with how to get to the house. Make sure you communicate with a host about your arrival time as well. With a washer and dryer this made packing very easy to return home.Enjoy your stay!

Great reef right at your feet

Pros: Great reef right out the door, but the sea was too rough sometimes, maybe it was because it was windy. Kitchen was stocked with spices and everything you need to cook your meals. Cons: The house is remote with no trails around. If you want to hike - you need to drive. It takes 10-15 minutes just to get out of neighbourhood to a main road. The main areas of the house are cleanish, but it was dirty in the corners, the lights, fan and curtains were downright dirty. Refrigerator was barely working, all food went bed in a few days. There are two beach chairs and a sport chair , beach chairs are not fitted for adults, very small and uncomfortable. Next time I would stay in Lagun area.

Big potential but needs TLC

The Good: Curacao -- very lovely! Pleasant and fair property owner. Attentive property manager greeted us at check-in with the groceries he picked up for us. We were very grateful and happy to have food for breakfast. Quiet and secluded location, just what we wanted, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We arrived at night so couldn't see the property and water until daylight. Beautiful sea view; very tranquil. It was breathtaking to awake to. The Bad: The property could be beautiful and a true paradise but it is overdue for basic maintenance and upkeep. The landscaping is sad, unlike some of the neighboring properties. The interior is dated (bathrooms, kitchen, furniture, decor) and no matter how many doors and windows you open for a cross-breeze, it is hot and uncomfortable downstairs. The place also smells musky and damp from being closed up with no regular ventilation. We couldn't use most of the towels because they smelled, either from not being properly dried or from the house. A deep cleaning of the entire house could improve the smell. The Ugly: Cockroaches! I know bugs are common near water but I expect to see them outside, not in my dwelling. There were just too many to feel comfortable or want to stay there. We had to cut our stay short. We were pleasantly surprised that Andrew offered a full refund for our troubles and without us asking. A professional exterminator was scheduled the day we left so hopefully no more bugs for the next guests.

Sehr schön direkt am eigenen Privatriff

Das Haus ist perfekt mit einem privaten Zugang zum Hausriff. Das heißt, vor dem Haus die Treppe zum Wasser heruntergehen und ab ins karibische Meer zum Schnorcheln. Bei höherem Wellengang ist der Zugang etwas schwieriger, für mutige (Erwachsene) aber machbar ;-) Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Wir haben den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen!

Glass House

It is a bit remote but that's exactly what we wanted. The last part of the roads getting there aren't the best, but not terrible. The view from the deck was amazing and the breeze helped keep the main part of the house from feeling too hot. I do wish the water entry was updated with a ladder or some rails as we could see it would be an absolutely incredible location to snorkel. We just felt the water was a bit too rough during our stay to risk the entry without some type of hold. We did, however, enjoy several of the public beaches on the island and a second entry just down the street that wasn't as bad. Overall, the home is lovely and we had an incredible trip.

The reef is amazing!

The view over the reef is incredible. Clear, warm, turquoise water. Lots of fish, turtles, eels, coral. Endless snorkeling (and diving) right off the cliff. Though the entry looks rough, you’ll quickly find your footing on a shallow shelf and discover the splash on the rocks isn’t what it seems. My kids both managed and loved the entry right into an underwater garden. Bring your own mask and fins. The home is remote at 40 mins from the city - wasn’t a problem as we wanted a quiet vacation and that’s what we got. Be prepared for a rough 3km road from Soto to the property. Drive slowly and thread the potholes. The house is constantly beaten by salt spray conditions making locks and windows sticky or occasionally inoperable. But the kitchen was fully stocked for home cooking and daily life. Beds are comfy - the rooms are all air conditioned but not the whole house. Cooking at night can be a fight between being under direct fans or swatting the bugs. See if you can order BBQ in Soto on Sunday night. The street shop was delicious. Really enjoyed being at this house and would go back. Thanks for having us.

Sea Side Summer Stay

Our family, 3 adults and 2 kids, spent a wonderful week at the Sea Glass House in June. The house is lovely, the view is fantastic, and the property managers were incredibly friendly and helpful. We did not meet the unit owners, but all communications with them prior to our stay were very positive, and prompt. The only things we would reiterate for those looking to stay at this property: 1, the water directly behind the house seems to be mostly inaccessible for those without at least intermediate skills. Unfortunately, we were not able to enter the water there at any point during our stay. However, we still enjoyed the views (including seeing nice looking coral formations from above surface) and the private grotto too. We also had no issue driving to other beaches, as we had initially planned. Though based on what we could see, we certainly wish we had been able to have the conditions (or skills) for it! 2, location is a little tricky. We liked the area a lot, but navigating in and out of the area of this neighborhood was a bit daunting at times. Still would recommend, but know that you definitely need a vehicle, prepare to drive slowly and patiently, and make sure you have access to an accurate map. 3, last thing, accessibility. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to access this property, and no way around it. Again, this wasn't an issue for us, but definitely something to be aware of if traveling as or with someone with mobility issues. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property to others!

Great Family Vacation

The 3 bedrooms and 4 baths worked well for us. The many steps would not be ideal for some groups. We were there in early April for 2 weeks and this during a windy season and this prevented us from snorkeling in front of the house several days of our stay. We were told by locals that the sea is calmer there in September/November.

Beautiful house by the sea

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. Entrance to the ocean in the backyard was a bit too difficult for elderly couple like us, but there was another much easier entrance down the road only 2 minute walk. There is also a small beach 3 minute driving distance from the house. It was a very quiet place away from everything else. So, if you enjoy going to bars & restaurants at night, you may not want to stay here. But if you want quiet and relaxed vacation in a beautiful house by the sea. This place is perfect. Managing couple (Dirk & Inge) lived nearby and they were very nice and helpful. We plan to go back there again sometime.

SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!! (Dushi)

This place is amazing. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we loved it. I could write a book about just how great this place is. My wife and I have stayed all over the islands and this is one place we will return to for sure. The house was spotless. The beds were super comfortable. The view...well, seriously, it ROCKS! Even the showers had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. I realize that is not something most people thin about, but after staying places that don't have that, you appreciate the ones that do. Andrew (the owner) was fantastic. Super responsive all the time. The caretakers live 4 houses down and were just the nicest people ever. They went shopping before we arrived and that is something you should definitely take advantage of! The grocery store they suggest is a bit of a drive. While there are a few closer ones, anyone traveling here for the first time will want to visit the bigger ones to stock up. Our couple of negatives were not huge but worth mentioning. Fist off, the wife has a bit of a reaction to mosquito bites but we love having the house open in the day and early night. Unfortunately there are no screens on any of the windows and the mosquitos got her good. She had to constantly douse herself in bug spray so bring plenty. We kept the bedroom door closed 24/7 to keep them out of the bedroom but she still sprayed up before bed. Screens would sure make the experience easier. The second was easily solved by downloading maps.me on your phone. The directions to the place were very confusing as NOTHING is marked well at all. Wound up in a town called Barber before turning around and using the app to get us there way faster. The second part to this, is the drive into the property takes you through some very back roads. If you arrive at night, this drive would intimidate just about anyone as there are zero working street lights on this back road. Thankfully we have driven on just about every island you can think of and know what to expect with island driving. So if you arrive at night, have someone pick you up from the airport if this seems like it would freak you out. Aside from those few (and very small) negatives, the place is as it is shown. Comfortable, clean, quiet and worth every cent. We are already talking about a return trip with more of the family. If you love to snorkel, by all means do not let the trip get away without going out in front of the place. The coral was simply amazing.

Perfect Family Vacation

We spent 7 days at The Sea Glass house exploring the beautiful island of Curacao with our 3 children, ages 12, 9, and 6. The house was perfect for us, allowing us to sleep comfortably and make most of our meals at home, but the true wow factor was the stairs down to the grotto, private cave system, and incredible snorkeling in the back. The kids LOVED the cave- we took picnic lunches down there and enjoyed the proximity to the crashing waves and sparkling. The snorkeling was some of the best we found on the whole island- beautiful, vibrant coral and lots of sea life. The kids climbed the cliffs and found little secret hideaways that made the trip so very special for them. It was a really special feature. The location of the house was great- takes a little while to wind your way back to the main road, but that's what it takes to get that gorgeous water access. We loved being so close to the west side beaches, Grote Knip and Playa Forti being favorites, and swimming with the sea turtles at Playa Grandi was one of the most special experiences of my life. Grote Knip was the most beautiful beach I've ever seen, and no matter what we did each day, we always stopped at Playa Forti on the way home so the kids could jump off the tall cliffs by the restaurant. It was an easy drive to Willemstad when you wanted more action and access to restaurants, but we loved staying on the quiet side in Soto. Andrew was a great host and very responsive and Dirk and Inge were great local managers and very quick to fix any need (the stove ran out of gas and we immediately had a new tank from Dirk). We highly recommend beautiful Curacao for a family vacation and very highly recommend Sea Glass House to stay.

Great get away

The property was as list . The house was big and clean. The on-site managers are fantastic people and helpful. With a little searching we found some great places to eat within 10 mins form the house. The property is right on the water, great view. One note it depends on the day if you can get into the water due to wave action at the house but no need to worry there is a great beach just a 10 min walk from the house. We would stay there again and Andrew the owner checked in with us to make sure we had what we needed thank you .

Great property with a great quiet location

Great property with a great quiet location! The area is very serene none of the hustle and bustle of being in Williamstad. We enjoyed the peace and quite and loved the fact that we could snorkel right out front! It was beautiful although we didn't take advantage of it until the last day, we wish we would have sooner but we were scuba diving all over the island. We would recommend a pair of binoculars though to watch the boats that pass by. There are also great restaurants very close. Landhuis Klein Santa Marta right up the street and Bahia in Lagoon were our favorites. Loved the place and hope we can get back there soon.
