Excellent!

Gregg and Beth’s home was perfect! They were amazing to work with. Quick to respond to any questions we had. Sandy bottoms 10b is within walking distance or a very short drive to plenty of great restaurants, beaches, diving and snorkeling sites. All the neighbors are very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this home to anyone!

Wonderful stay! Perfect location if you are looking to be outside of the city and near the beaches. Beautiful view and we enjoyed the snorkeling from the direct water access at the resort. Host thought of everything for a comfortable stay, including beach chairs and cooler.  Thank you again for sharing your townhouse with us. You really did think of everything. The souvenir you leave for your guests was lovely and a nice personal touch.

Excellent!

We had an amazing time. Westpunt is the best place to stay on the island. Beth is super kind and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s an easy 5 min walk to playa piskado, it was amazing swimming with the sea turtles! We wished we could stay forever.

Highly recommended!

My husband and I just returned home from another beautiful vacation in Curacao. (July 20-27) This is my third trip there but my second time staying with this host! We absolutely love Marazul dive resort & especially, Sandy bottoms10b!! The oceanview from the patios!! Beautiful!! It's so quiet at Sandy bottoms! The location can not be beat if you are interested in snorkeling or scuba diving. You can access the water right from the property via stairs to the water. The complex is gated and very safe. It has a nice little pool for non beach days! Plenty of parking for your rental car. Cactus Cafe restaurant is right outside of the gate of the complex... So just 50 steps to your right and you have great food and a bar! If you walk out of the gate to the left and walk about 5 minutes, there are a couple more restaurants and a beach, playa forti. All of the most beautiful beaches of Curacao are located in Westpunt, just minutes from this townhouse!! (Cas abao, Porto Marie and kenepa grande are my 3 favorites so far!) If you're a decent swimmer, you can actually swim over to playa piskado to see all of the turtles!! The townhouse is nice and clean! Great linens (sheets, bath & beach towels) & the upstairs air conditioner in Sandy bottom 10B works great!! We never run the main level air...no need! Just open up the windows and the doors...You have a beautiful Island breeze to keep you cool!! The kitchen is nicely stocked with plates, pots and pans, utensils, etc. They also provide a cooler, ice pack, some pool noodle floaties and two chairs that you can take to the beaches with you so you don't have to pay! We love how budget friendly this condo is...Beth and Greg, you guys are the hostess with the mostess!! Great communication! Thank you for sharing your Paradise with us!! Until next time, Dolly & Andy

We knew where we were going but when we arrived it totally exceeded our expectations. It is a magical experience in every sense; the location of the resort with a view directly of the sea and the nearby bays, the noise of the sea and the surrounding animals, the breeze. etc
We had a great experience especially because of how well equipped and maintained SANDY BOTTOMS 10b really gave us the best vacation. I recommend YES OR YES staying at Beth and Greg's house you will truly feel at home.

We just returned home from our wonderful stay at Sandy Bottoms! We had an amazing week here! The gated property made us feel safe, and the unit itself was clean and well equipped! We used the bbq grill every night for supper and had breakfast on the balcony every morning! The view was gorgeous and the water was crystal clear!

Just finished a 10 day stay at SandyBottoms. Great location! Greg and Beth were very attentive hosts with lots of useful tips. We are snorkelers, not divers. Every day we went to a different beach, each one more spectacular than the previous, all with great snorkeling off of the beach (BTW recommend buying this guide, it was great: https://www.tropicalsnorkeling.com/curacao-snorkeling/. Some photos of dinner views and beaches follow

Highly recommended!

We just spent 2 weeks (May 2024) at Sandy bottoms-10B. Our hosts asked us to send them any recommendations that might make the stay better and we couldn’t think of a single thing to suggest to them! Everything is exactly as the listing describes and the communication between us and the hosts could not have been better. They are readily available thru either text or e-mail to answer any and all questions or concerns. That was very comforting even though we did not have any concerns come up during our stay.
Of our 12 full days in Curacao, we only spent one day in Willemstad. All others were spent in the peaceful, beautiful oceanside areas near Westpunt. There were 3 great restaurants within easy walking distance (<10 mins?) from 10B. And another 2 a mile away which we enjoyed walking to as well because we a love walking! Very convenient either way.
We did 9 shore dives on our own at various sites nearby and enjoyed each one! Go West dive shop supplied our tanks, easy-peasy.
When we return to Curacao, we will definitely try to stay at Marazul and 10B will be our first choice!

 “This lovely property was exactly as described and fully met our expectations. Cheryl and David are great hosts and they provided us with a wealth of useful information prior to our arrival. The upstairs terrace makes for a very pleasant spot with awesome sea views for breakfast or lunch. There are several great restaurants nearby, but we also had everything we needed to cook at the house in the evenings after watching the beautiful sunsets. We kept a through breeze through the property when we were home as it got hot during the day. We found we only needed to use the upstairs fan and air conditioner to cool the bedroom in the late evening. Direct access to the sea from the property is important to us, so we enjoyed using the steps down to the water at each end of the resort. The saltwater pool is also very nice, and the cabana offers essential shade in the midday hours. We wanted to be at the quiet end of the island, and close to shore access for snorkeling. There are multiple beaches within 5-10 mins drive, and you can walk to Playa Forti or even swim over if you don’t want to get in the car. Just get in the water and you will see something new every day! We had a very enjoyable week and would choose to stay here again.”

“Treasure by the Sea was a great place to stay. The house has everything you need & a sunset view that makes you want to get back to Curacao as soon as you can. Dave & Cheryl are excellent hosts that ensured everything we needed was addressed & very accessible for advice on anything we wanted to do on the island. The house, the diving, and the laid back Westpunt vibe will have us returning here again and again.”

"Thank you so much to Cheryl and David for allowing us to discover their piece of paradise on this portion of Curaçao where beaches and nature abound. The apartment is great with beautiful sea views and sunset. For snorkeling lovers, it's a little treasure trove of color under the sea right next door. In short, a perfect stay that already makes us want to stay there!"

"While the word "paradise" is thrown around a lot, you will find it at Cheryl & David's place. It is located on the quieter, western side of the island, surrounded by some of the best beaches on Curaçao. The complex in which the apartment sits is well-maintained, with grills and gazebos for relaxing and eating, and it has its own private stairs down that lead directly into the stunning turquoise water. The apartment itself has everything you will need for a stay of any duration, and the view is incredible. Sitting out on the terrace and watching the sunset over the sea every night was such a wonderful experience, and the stars that follow don't disappoint either. And, Cheryl & David are the perfect hosts, providing a great deal of helpful information, being easily accessible, and responding promptly whenever you may wish to communicate with them. I would recommend this stay to anyone."

“Magnifique endroit!  Tres belle propriété avec une vue incroyable! Parfait pour les amoureux du snorkeling et de la plongée!”

 

Eric, May 2023 -- 5 Stars

"David & Cheryl were amazing hosts who shared tons of insights, ideas, tips for navigating the island affordably and efficiently, and recommendations for great experiences during our stay. The condo was well maintained, and all of the functionality/availability of amenities was spot on with the description. The ocean breeze was definitely strong most days and usually blew right through the home, which was helpful with the 85+ degree days and 80 degree nights... air conditioning was a nice back-up to have for a couple of the extra hot evenings. The kitchen was great for preparing meals at home in between visiting charming local restaurants. The condo was in a quiet and peaceful area at the northwestern tip of the island - nice for relaxing and having some privacy, though a bit challenging for exploring a variety of beaches and other sites in other parts of the island. Diving is probably great here, but snorkelers and sunbathers (like us) will enjoy beaches further south."

 

Jane, April 2023 -- 5 Stars

“Cheryl and David's place was a perfect base from which to explore Curacao's gorgeous western beaches (many within 5-15 minutes drive and a few you can walk to). The townhome is just as described, minimal, clean, and very comfortable--akin to a well-appointed cabin--and they are very responsive to any questions or issues. We loved having coffee and cocktails on the deck, befriending the local cat, and trying out a new snorkeling spot each day. A deeply relaxing, unforgettable vacation!”

Audrey, September 2022 -- 5 Stars

“A house with an amazing view, especially on the upper terrace. Extremely well located near the best beaches and points of interest of the region. We fully recommend this place. Cheryl and David were really reactive and with a good communication.”

 

Sabrina, May 2022 -- 5 Stars

“My fiancé and I loved this Airbnb! It has the absolute perfect location for everything we wanted to do. Great place to eat and rent scuba gear just right next door. We especially loved scuba diving just off the back stairs at their house reef, it was one of our favorites to dive, it was gorgeous! Cheryl and David responded quickly to any questions we had. It was a pleasure staying here! We will be back!"

 

Cris, December 2022 -- 5 Stars

“Believe the hype! Unbelievable location, stunning ocean views and 1 minute walk away from the clearest Caribbean water and the greatest variety of fish and wildlife we’ve ever seen. Turtles and barracudas just yards from the steps, iguanas and frigate birds and tuna chasing schools of fish across the surface! The house is fantastic and superbly equipped, David and Cheryl are attentive and full of tips and information to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We cannot fault this house or the charming hosts in any way. Totally recommended.”
