Perfect getaway

This condo is crisp, clean and beachy. Great location and easy access to beaches, food and drink. We had 2 teen girls and the hallway bunks were great with privacy due to the master bedroom having a door. Kitchen had all the items we needed and the walk in shower was so roomy for my amputee husband. Definitely a 10 rating for our trip!

Hit and Miss

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute unit. A/C was frustrating during night time hours. Cleanliness rated as a B+. Best part of the unit was the shower. Need to engineer the unit with the extra shower space to accept a dishwasher and easier access to the washer/dryer.Very disappointed with the amount of 4 wheelers that were allowed on the property. Golf carts were fine, but the 4 wheelers were a complete disruption.

Perfect weekend geteawat!

My family loved our weekend get away here!! The room was the perfect size for my family of four. Perfect set up and very comfortable especially since we spent more time than we planned in the room due to the rain! We loved that there were two different pools and a game room which we took full advantage of during the rain. We loved the little activities that were provided as well such as happy hour and s’mores! We had a little trouble with our check in code to get in the room, but the staff responded so fast and were very friendly! We highly recommended Aruba Bay, and we will definitely be back!
