| there were 7 people in our group we rented both houses. we had plenty of room and such a wonderful vacation. juan was a dream from picking us up at the airport to fixing a small problem that came up. both homes were furnished beautifully and we had plenty of room. this is our first trip to aruba but our 3rd vrbo rental and we were not disapointed. we were in aruba for a wedding and had such a wonderful time. close to beaches and shopping but very quite at night and the neighbors even helped to put the minutes on the cell phone as we couldnt read papaiamento. would go back in a heart beat. temp drop was 90 degrees from aruba to landing at home in upstate n.y. sure wish we lived there. |

| What a lovely house! We felt right at home in the neighborhood and very welcome by everyone around us. The house is spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need. I loved the peaceful patio in the back - great spot for a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine. We chose different beaches every day depending on the mood we were in. With the car, which is large by Aruban standards, we were able to enjoy the entire island and really get a feel for the local culture. Having the car, local cell phone and information on Aruba at the house was such a wonderful benefit and was all we needed to embark on our daily adventures. I would highly recomment this house to anyone looking for a non-high rise experience!! Juan the property manager was wonderful and made us feel not only welcome, but also safely connected to anything we might need. I hope you get an opportunity to enjoy this lovely home, the friendly nature and the awesome natural beauty of Aruba!!! |

| My husband and I stayed in the guest house in October 2008. The accommodations were exceptional!! We tend to stay away from hotels and found condos and homes are a much nicer way to travel. You will find the peace and quiet of a beautiful neighborhood instead of having all the hustle and bustle of a ton of people swarming you. This is truly appreciated if you've ever had an unpleasant "neighbor" in a hotel!! The place is beautiful and has everything you need to make yourself right at home. We really enjoyed how close the beaches and shops were. (without having them right under our noses) We also enjoyed the countless number of restaurants!!! Juan was wonderful and popped in whenever we had a concern or question. If you'd like to experience the best of Aruba and be as busy or as quiet as you'd like... you MUST stay here! |

This was our first time in Aruba but not in the Caribbean. But all we can tell that Aruba is one of the most beautiful islands of the world. We had a great time there.
The house and the car were very nice and comfortable. We'd like to thank you once again for your help, support and constant smileys.

| We absolutely loved our stay at the Kruggel house in Aruba. We looked at a bunch of hotels but couldn't find something that we felt like really worked for our group. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was very close to the beach and some great restaurants and shopping. Juan was great to work with and helped us with everything we needed. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Aruba. It couldn't have been a better experience. |

| We enjoyed our stay in the Kruggel residence very much, the house was nice and comfortable, the owner and property manager were responsive and helpful. I recommend it for travellers with or without children who want to be away from the high rise area, yet within a short drive from the beach. |

Our stay at the Kruggle's residence wasamazing.
The house itself was beautifully decorated and
includes everything guests would ever need. The
beach is a short drive away. We were four adults
and our usual routine was to go to the beach early
and then return to the residence to shower and then
shop or just hang around the house in the
afternoon. We cooked most of our meals at the
house and relaxed for a movie in the evening.
As we drove around the island, in the great car that
you can rent from the Kruggle's, we saw all the
hotels, both high rise and low rise and were so glad
that we had stayed at the Kruggle residence.
The manager of their property is Juan. He is
available to you 24/7. He is so delightful and will
insure your stay at the residence is care free.
We have traveled to the Caribbean for the last
eleven years. Staying at hotels and all inclusives.
This was the first time we have rented from
VRBO.And the first time to Aruba. We will certainly
return next year to the Kruggle residence. |

| We had a great time staying in Joel and Victoria's beautiful home. Five of us stayed in the main house and had plenty of space, we had a very relaxing holiday with all the comforts of home,everything you need is there, even had our very own pets right outside the door every morning. The neighbours were very friendly always waved or spoke when you went outside. Joel and Victoria were vacationing in the guest house while we were there and were so helpful suggesting places to eat and to visit, it was great to meet them in person and spend some time with them. Then there is Juan, what a sweetheart he is, all you have to do is call him and he is ready to help you out. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy hotels then this is the place to go. It is a short drive to the beaches and restaurants but was not a real problem for us and there is a pool across the street from the house you can use as well. Wish we could have stayed longer! |

WOW! What an amazing home! This was my first trip to Aruba and my husband's second. The choice to rent a home was an easy one, as that's what we prefer when we travel, and we are so fortunate to have found Joel and Victoria's home. What a beauty! The home is wonderfully decorated, included all amenities we could want, the neighborhood was very cute...it was perfect in every way! And working with the Kruggels to arrange the rental was very easy and extremely friendly!
The property manager, Juan, was wonderful to work with. He was so helpful and knowledgable and really helped facilitate a fantastic vacation for us.
Until we're able to purchase our own home on the island, we hope to rent from the Kruggels again. Thank you for helping make our 5th anniversay vacation such a success! |

| Joel & Victoria's Vacation home in the Aruba is feels like home away from home. Everything about the home feelings warm and welcoming. The vacation home has everything a guess needs to feel comfortable. Plus of the location of this home is a few minutes from beaches, attraction areas and shopping area. I will definetly stay there again. |

What can we say? I think all of your previous guests have covered almost everything! We also felt that your house was a true "home away from home". The decor was wonderful the landscaping amazing. Your home had everything a family would need. I know you all put a lot of thought and love into this home. The neighborhood was friendly with "built-in" kids for ours to play with. All of your neighbors we talked with had nothing but nice things to say about you, and after staying at your home I can see why.
We hope to be able to stay at your home again and maybe one day meet you all!
Juan is an amazing "ambassador" for your home and the island of Aruba. There was nothing he didn't take care of if we needed it and he is a genuine caring person. We all feel lucky to have met him and I'm sure you know how valuable he is. He really made us feel safe and welcome.
Thanks again! We are missing Aruba already so I'm sure we will be back soon!
Sincerely,
Lisa, Lawrence, and M. |

First and foremost, we couldn't have asked for a better host in Aruba. Property Manager-Juan's hospitality, patience, and attentiveness were spectacular!He truly represented what tourists boast about with regard to the people of Aruba and their genuine kindness. Masha Danke Juan!!!
I cannot begin to describe how beautiful the Kruggel's home is and how comfortable they have made it for their guests. It was truly a home away from home for our family! It's obvious how much thought was put into the home as we really didn't need a thing aside from groceries!!!! In addition, the the décor of the home is absolutely exquisite. Kudos to Mrs. Kruggel! Please note that I was very skeptical renting via the internet but I know that I was truly blessed initiating contact with the Kruggel's and renting their home and the Izuzu Rodeo for that matter. It was a great experience driving on the island and the Rodeo was quite comfortable. All in all the vacation was fabulous!

| We had a fantastic vacation. Joel and Vicki's house is beautiful and absolutley perfect for a family getaway! The house is extremely well equipped with everything you need. The neighbours are friendly and very helpful. The house itself is extremely well situated to Palm Beach and the Norhtern End of the island. There are plenty of restauants nearby, we liked the ribs at Smokey Joe's! We have stayed at hotels in Aruba before but if you are looking for a relaxing fun filled family vacation, Joel and Vicki's house is the way to go! |

What a gorgeous and comfortable house! We loved staying here with our group of 7 people. The house and the guesthouse are furnished beautifully. The location is ideal with being 10 minutes from the high rise hotels. Joel and Victoria were some of the nicest people to work with as was the property manager Juan.
I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to have all the comforts of home on vacation. |

We really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable brand new cunucu (island style)house. It was very comfortable and very well appointed.
Rather then staying at the gigantic hi-rise tourist traps of Aruba we liked staying here. It was only three traffic lights from the beach and not far from town and had its own pool for when you were not at the beach.
Lara and I would definately recommend staying at the Kruggel's Arubian hideaway rather then fall victim to the big chain hotels that are not even on the nicestest beaches Aruba has to offer.
This is a highly recommended alternative to the norm.
Sincerely,
Lara & Rich |
