About this property

Thuis aan Zee, sea view and stylish stay

Summary:

Thuis aan Zee is a stylish 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in Tortuga Apartments, right on the Kralendijk shoreline, for up to 4 guests. Enjoy wide ocean views from the balcony and colorful sunsets almost every evening. A modern open kitchen with built-in appliances makes this a comfortable base for couples or a small family. The last-minute discount for the first 21 nights after the booking date is already included in the price!



The Space:

Thuis aan Zee is a well-appointed apartment with a layout designed for comfort and ease.



The apartment has two bedrooms: a master bedroom with a king-size bed and a second bedroom also with a king-size bed. There are two bathrooms, a comfortable living room and a balcony where you can relax outside. The open kitchen connects to the living room and includes a stove, refrigerator, freezer, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker and kettle.



Highlights:

- Suitable for 4 guests

- Washing machine

- Air conditioning in bedroom(s)

- TV

- Free Wi-Fi



Good to know:

- No BBQ: there is no barbecue available, but the coastline offers plenty of restaurants for a relaxed dinner.

- City sounds: due to the central location in Kralendijk, you may occasionally hear lively island sounds in the background.

- No A/C in the living room: the bedrooms are comfortably cool with air conditioning, while in the living room you can enjoy the sea breeze and ceiling fan.



Guest Access:

As a guest of Thuis aan Zee, you have access to the entire apartment, including both bedrooms, two bathrooms, the open kitchen, the living room and the balcony. You can also use the shared facilities of the complex, such as the swimming pool and on-site parking. To warmly welcome our guests and provide explanations about the accommodation and our beautiful island, we personally handle all arrivals. The Sunwise hosts of the property will arrange a meeting time with you for your check-in.



The Neighborhood:

The Kralendijk center area features the boulevard, piers, sailing and motor boats on moorings and colorful facades: here you are right between restaurants, bars, boutiques and the starting points of various boat trips, including sunset tours and the water taxis to Klein Bonaire. It is ideal if you want everything within walking distance and enjoy strolling along the boulevard at night. For divers and snorkelers, Playa is a great base thanks to quick access to west coast sites; for foodies and shoppers, this is the place to be. Expect liveliness, convenience and the shortest travel times to all facilities in Bonaire's main town, Kralendijk.



Thuis aan Zee is located in Kralendijk, approximately 2.9 kilometers from Zhung Kong supermarket, 1 kilometer from Dive Friends Yellow Submarine dive center, 900 meters from Chachacha Beach and 450 meters from Cuba Compagnie restaurant.



Sunwise insider tip: When staying at Thuis aan Zee, a trip to Klein Bonaire is highly recommended. This uninhabited islet off the coast of Kralendijk is part of the Bonaire National Marine Park and is a protected nature reserve. Water taxis depart from the boulevard and take you to white sandy beaches with crystal-clear blue water. The coral reefs around Klein Bonaire offer excellent snorkeling, with many colorful fish and often sea turtles in the shallow areas.



Getting Around:

Bonaire and especially the hotspots like Washington Slagbaai National Park, the remote pristine beaches, and the kitesurf and windsurf locations, are best enjoyed with a rental car, as our lovely Caribbean island has so much more to offer beyond the immediate surroundings of Thuis aan Zee. With your own car you can explore remote snorkel spots, dive sites and local restaurants at your own pace. We strongly recommend renting a car so you can get everywhere easily. Most roads on Bonaire are paved, but for nature areas like the park, a pickup truck or SUV is advisable. The park roads are unpaved and sometimes rough, making a regular car less suitable. There is no public transport on Bonaire and taxis are limited, especially on busy days when a cruise ship is in port.



Other Things to Note:

Check-in to Thuis aan Zee is from 3:00 PM and check-out is until 10:00 AM. Early arrival or late departure may be possible on request, depending on other reservations. Smoking and pets are not allowed in our accommodations, and we kindly ask you to keep noise down at night. Enjoy your stay at Thuis aan Zee!



The last-minute discount for the first 21 nights after the booking date is already included in the price!



Interaction with Guests:

The Sunwise team will do everything possible to ensure you have an unforgettable stay at Thuis aan Zee. During your trip, we are available for questions, local tips, or assistance. The easiest way to reach us is via the Guest App, email, or through the messaging system of the platform you used to book. We reply promptly during daytime hours so your plans on Bonaire can continue smoothly!

Bonaire Getaway

Objectively the property is great. The building is new. The apartment is clean and modern and nicely decorated and well equipped. Objectively, the apartment is five stars. There was a bizarre malfunction with some equipment while we were there, which is extremely unlikely to happen again. The management was good communicating about the issue, but the resolution is still not fully final several weeks out, sadly.Subjectively: we did not like that the bathrooms are in the bedrooms with no wall to separate the shower/toilet from the bed area. Divers, there is no place to store dive equipment. The area is quite loud at night. Cruise ships dock nearby which wasn’t nice to look at and made the area very busy. For us personally, I think a spot further out of town would’ve suited our needs better, and is where we had stayed on our earlier trips to Bonaire. But as mentioned above, this is all subjective.
