The region - Cas Abou is surrounded by the Banda Abou region of our dushi Curacao! Along with the best isolated and/or serviced beaches on the island there are plenty of eating options including local, international and fine. It's the undiscovered gem of under-the-radar Curacao! Real-deal Caribbean without the tourists and traffic.

The neighborhood - Cas Abou is an established, exclusive local and international neighborhood. It's focus is on tranquility, nature and privacy. It's not an "up and coming" neighborhood. It's a well kept secret and we've already arrived! Cas Abou is centrally located half-way between the village of Westpunt and downtown/airport. You are surrounded by the best beaches on the island! WITHOUT ALL THE TOURISTS AND TRAFFIC

The cottage - New seaside, salt water, infinity-edged, cocktail pool is ready! Very exciting upgrade to the property! With shaded lounge area right on the sea!
Cliff-high, private sunsets over the Caribbean 365 sets-a-year!

ANOTHER upgrade as of winter 2023-24! Additional 300ft2 of deck over the sea! Newly tiled (out with the wood and in with the tile!) and another palapa area! Take your pick and work out those tan lines OR stay in the shade!

300 ft2 inside, 300 ft2 covered terrace and 450 ft2 open deck - all one level. Private front yard sitting garden and sea-level shaded lounge and salt water splash pool. Private steps into the sea! Purely natural and purely private!

Top-ten Cas Abou beach is right around the corner! And, we've got 2 nice beach chairs, beach matt and a cooler (with freezer packs) so you don't have to rent those either! We love caring for our guests!

Absolutely unique on the entire island! Seaside cottage perfect for a single or a couple wanting to enjoy raw nature in privacy. Built with glass fronted-tile deck, shaded terrace with day bed ON by the sea. Established native, professional gardens. Full a/c when the breeze isn't blowing, indoor and outdoor ceiling fans, gas stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, counter top oven, fridge/freezer... And gas grill!

Local and owner created art throughout the property!

Feel the trade winds, listen to the sea and enjoy being part of one of the best, and private, natural settings on the island! Walk down the steps right to your private house reef for swimming, snorkeling, diving or just for a beer and a float! This healthy reef has amazing biodiversity with soft/hard corals close to the surface for snorkelers and mixed topography deeper for SCUBA. Often referred to by guests as the best snorkeliing/diving on the island! Did you just walk right past the infinity edged salt water pool?!! Fresh sea water pumps in twice a day! Time your dip properly and enjoy the waterfall! Huh? What?! WOW!

This cottage is simply spectacular! It's all about getting back to nature. Sunrise walks with flamingos, parrots, pelicans, frigates, trupials, songbirds and the ocassional osprey!... Get rid of your tan lines in privacy...Swim/snorkel/dive/kayak explore beaches and back roads during the day...Meals outside in the breeze, world class sunsets and at night...Enjoy unbelievable moonscapes and watch constellations cross the sky! Unbelievable!

For your morning swim, snorkel, kayak or dive just head down the steps and there you are! Isolated beach borders one side of property, another isolated beach just a short swim (or 60 second walk) the other direction and world class Cas Abou beach for those who enjoy a longer swim (or 60 second car drive). Enjoy your coffee in the breeze as the pelicans pass by. This cottage is pure relaxation (stay connected with fast wireless and Skype your friends at sunset! No TV!)

Private outdoor shower with shaded area for the massage service over the sea!... Ba-ooo! Exercise bike and free weights for the die hards!

Enjoy sunset right from the infinity edge of our salt water pool! HELLO!

hate leaving bad reviews, but it's been earned.
owner wants all correspondence via email,not vrbo. seems shady.and he is rude in these emails.he showed up after we'd been there for an hour to show us around, we were in the middle of dressing for dinner.there is no lock on the actual door or any of the windows.don insists its a "safe neighborhood".he entered the rental we paid too much for to turn off the a/c while we were at dinner and sent 2 snotty emails. one stating folks don't read these days and the other stating he would talk to us in the am.the place was very dust and dirty.way too much clutter to keep clean.the net over bed was gross.don welcomes himself onto property at will with no notice. we were in the pool when he decided to come on over to water the plants. we could have been naked for all he knows.i told him to give notice next time,got a snotty email about that too. out door shower is basically a spigot sticking out of the wall with a dirty shower curtain. received 1 bath and 1 beach towel each and when we asked for fresh on day 4,we're told tomorrow.but we'll do it a day early. if you need more, it's $20 (for ratty old towels).sheets had a hole in them, bedspread had something white and crusty on it.shower overflows and is basically a wet bathroom.hole in the shutters in br just big enough to take a peek.mattress cover is a blow up that don boasts he spent $500 on.u can get a blow up for 70 at the store down the road. no window curtains for privacy,don't expect to sleep in.1500 characters isnt enough.

Heaven on Earth
The property was truly paradise. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The house and the outside living space was perfect for two people. The views from the patio were beyond magnificent. We enjoyed 2 morning hikes with Angie. We loved exploring this beautiful island with her. She shared so much interesting information with us. Prior to our arrival, Don provided us with detail information, extremely helpful. Don was very quick to respond to any need that may arise, no matter how small. Don and Angie are fabulous hosts. We parted with so many fond memories. We highly recommend this property to other quests.

I want SO badly to keep this place our little secret because it is that AMAZING but that would be such a disservice to Don and Angie. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay - even when the whole island lost power for a few hours. Don and Angie are wonderful hosts - very communicative and knowledgeable. Read your welcome packet and take their suggestions - everything from restaurants to beaches and everything in between that they suggested was top notch! You donā€™t need to leave the house unless you want to because it literally has everything. The bed was comfortable, the views were spectacular, and the experience was unforgettable. Some of our best snorkeling was right out from the house. We are sitting in the airport heading home writing this review and trying to figure out when we can come back!

Paradise!
We had an incredible stay at Ba-ooo. The views from the deck were breathtaking and the perfect spot to watch the tropical birds and the sunsets. The decor and artistic detail put into the cottage was beautiful. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We also enjoyed using the lower deck palapa and pool area. It was great to have some of the best snorkeling right at our doorstep. Don was very helpful and all of his restaurant, hiking and sight-seeing recommendations were spot-on. We can't wait to return!

Stop looking, stay here!
Upon entering, your first view is looking out over the deck at the impossibly blue waters of the Caribbean. The deck faces west, so every evening you have a private, front seat view of the sunset. One word of caution, once the sun goes down the sand flies do make an appearance. If you tend to attract mosquitos or the like, I recommend bug spray (which is provided in the cabin ā€“ along with anything else you might require). The highlight is when you descend the steps adjacent to the property down to the waterā€™s edge. There you have your own private infinity style jump pool meters from the ocean. Pictures do not do it justice. A few more stone steps provide access to the ocean, for swimming/snorkeling or the like, all in your little private bay. Also, along the way to the pool is an outdoor shower, which letā€™s face it, is pretty awesome. The bed was firm, which I personally loved, but it sounds as though you can request extra foam if that is a concern. The living area is small but comfortable. It is a studio style space, with a kitchenette and single bathroom. Books and games are provided to enjoy during your stay. There was a local cat and several iguanas that come by from time to time which we loved. Don was having some work performed on the property while we were there, which is obviously necessary for maintaining a property such as this. That being said, Don obviously cares deeply about his properties. He made a point to stop by the first day to say hello and was immediately responsive to any questions or concerns that we had, while also respecting your privacy. Even after we left his property, Don continued to give us great tips about things to check out on the island and was accommodating and helpful when we inadvertently left a few things and had to return to pick them up. Overall, canā€™t recommend enough. Beautiful place, beautiful people. Take some time to say hello. You wonā€™t be disappointed.

Great and Quiet Stay
What can I say...what a great play to stay! Don was a great host and very helpful but the highlight is the location and the house. It is in a beautiful location with AMAZING views, it has a private plunge pool, it has a private deck, and private Palapa! What is not to love! The house is within a easy drive to a lot of great beaches but it was nice to just come back at the end of the day and sit on the deck and watch the waves. ***On what could be purely preference, I do wish the bed was a bit softer but otherwise we loved our stay and defiantly would stay there again or at one of Don's other locations!***

Phenomenal Vacation
This was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The cottage was perfect -- clean, comfortable, and quiet. The sheets on the bed were especially soft and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was amazing. We spent lots of our time hanging out on the incredible deck: reading, napping, watching the sun set, playing cards, eating our meals. We snorkeled right from the cottage, soaked in the salt water pool, and watched the lizards, birds, and iguanas. The cottage itself is simply beautiful. Don is an artist and his work is everywhere throughout the property. His mosaics and stained glass pieces are amazing and add so much to the ambience of the space. Don and Angie were lovely and incredibly helpful. They had great restaurant, beach, and sight-seeing suggestions. Amazing, amazing, amazing. We cannot wait to return! THANK YOU!!!
