Arrival, departure and minimum stay
You can arrive every day of the week. The minimum stay is 7 nights, in some parts of the year (school holidays in Summer, Christmas/New Year)
a minimum of 14 nights applies.
For Christmas/New Year, you can only make a booking as a complete 14-night stay with arrival on the Saturday before Christmas (or earlier)
and departure on the Saturday after New Years Day (or later).
Arrival time is 16.00 hrs (4 p.m.) and we ask you to leave the villa at 10.00 hrs (10 a.m.) assuring us to have enough time to clean the home
before the next guests arrive. If you have a late flight home (most flights to Europe leave in the evening) and you want to use the villa until
departure time, you can book a so called late check out. Please see the rate section. If you book this, you can stay until about 19.00 hrs (7.00 pm).
Use of the villa
The villa is allowed to use as a holiday villa only. You are supposed to adapt your way of living to local customs as they are common in upscale neighborhoods
on Curaçao. This means that a quiet way of behave is expected and no offence is made by nudism or topless sunbathing.
Partying with more people then booked for the villa, is prohibited unless the owner or, on his behalf, the care taker, allows this before by written statement.
Please ask the owner or care taker when you want to invite other people or planning a party.
Rates
The published rates are in EURO (€) and depend on the amount of bedrooms you want to use. Per bedroom a
maximum of 2 people applies but a crib can be placed on one of the booked bedrooms at no extra charge and if available. Please ask when making bookings.
Rooms which are not booked for your rental, will be closed during your stay but they are not used by other people. The villa remains all yours.
The costs of the final cleaning (at your departure) are mentioned in the rate section as well.
As the costs of electricity are extremely high on Curaçao, there is a maximum ‘normal’ use included in the nightly rate; please see the
rate section. If you use more, this will be charged at local rate (2008: € 0,32/KwH).
Option, reservation, payment and deposit
Before you make reservations you can take an option for a few days. It gives you the opportunity to arrange flights. As long as your option lasts, the villa is
not rented to somebody else. If somebody else wants to make bookings in this time, you will have first choice for the next 24 hours. The expiration date of
the option is clearly stated by e-mail. The option expires automatically after the expiration date.
On the page Availability of this website you can check reservations and options. Options are
marked in yellow. This page is updated frequently.
When you make a reservation, your reservation will be held for 10 days. You will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail which is also the invoice. In these
10 days your first payment (50% of rental) must be paid to the owner. The balance (the other 50% and the costs for final cleaning, other items and deposit)
must be paid not later then 4 weeks before arrival. If a booking is made but the deposit is not paid within the first 10 days, the reservation may be cancelled.
A minimum cancellation fee of € 125,- applies.
The deposit is € 400,-. The deposit is returned within 14 days after departure; if there are any damages which you are responsible, these costs of that will
be deducted. The villa is inspected by our care taker at your departure.
For reservations made more than 10 months in advance, we provide a different booking policy:
- you pay only 3 nights within 10 days after you made reservations;
- 10 months before arrival date you pay the other amount to equal to normal 50%;
- you can cancel at no charge up to 10 months before arrival date;
- the final payment as stated before is due 4 weeks before arrival date (as normal).

Children
Children who will sleep in a children’s crib (60x120 cm, 24x48 inch), can stay free IF this crib is placed in one of the booked bedrooms. Of course we will
provide the crib with the linens and towels.
Bed linens and towels
During your stay we will provide the following amount of bed linens and towels:
- Bed linens: at arrival all the beds are made up en they will be refreshed after (about) every 8 days by our cleaning team. However, you will
receive an extra set of bed linens so you can change in between these 8 days if you like. If you want to have another (extra) set of bed lines, this
is available on request and at ANG 7,50 per person (to be paid before your departure, to the caretaker).
- Towels: you will receive (per person booked) and per week: 2 beach towels, 2 bath towels, 2 small towels and 3 small washing cloths. If
you want to have another (extra) set of towels, this is available on request and at ANG 15,- per person (to be paid before your departure, to the caretaker).
Damages
We expect that you will use our home with care, as you do with your own home. Nevertheless, an accident can happen and something may be broken or damaged.
To assure that the next renter doesn’t has the inconvenience of this, we strongly request that you inform the caretaker at once. If damages are at your responsibility,
they will be charged to you, but if they are below € 25,- (per stay), we will not charge for them IF you informed the caretaker or the owner within 7
days after your departure.
Departure
The caretaker will inform you during your stay how we expect you to leave the villa (at your departure). Final cleaning is inclusive but appliances in the
kitchen should be left clean. If you want some help in this by a maid, that can be arranged at slight extra costs. Ask the caretaker during your stay.
Cancellations
If you have to cancel your reservation, we will try to rent the villa for the same dates. The following conditions apply:
- if the villa is rented again in full for your originally booked dates: cancellation fee of € 125,-
- if the villa is rented again for parts of your originally booked dates: cancellation fee of € 125,- plus the rental rate of the nights which
are not rented; maximum is your full rental rate of the originally booked dates
- if the villa is not rented again: full agreed rental rate for your originally booked dates.
If you leave the villa earlier than agreed in the rental agreement, there is no refund. We strongly advise you to have cancellation insurance.
P.S.: A change in the number of booked bedrooms is generally not regarded as a cancellation.
Smoking policy
To the convenience of all our guests, our smoking policy is clear: it is not permitted inside the house, but on the premises (outside), you are allowed to
do if you like. But please take care for the risk of fire as it can be dry and windy on Curaçao. Please do use the ashtrays provided.
Naturism and topless sunbathing
We have to point out that, because of the villa’s location in a neighborhood with other houses, naturism and top less sunbathing is not permitted at
anytime. Please remember that customs and habits on this point may be different on Curaçao compared with your own country.
Caretaker
The villa is taken care for by Villas & More, our local professional partner. Please visit their website for more details:
www.villasandmore.net.
As the villa is taken care for as a vacation home, it needs to be cleaned regularly; also the garden and pool have to be maintained and sometimes there have
to be repairs which cannot wait until the next not-booked dates. As a consequence, the people from or on behalf of Villas & More have to enter the villa and/or
the premises sometimes. Of course, they will contact you in advance when this occurs, but in the majority of the cases you won’t have to stay at the villa
as they have keys of their own. Generally, they will leave a message in the villa after they have entered.
