Sophie

Close to all the restaurants and strip also comes with a fully stocked kitchen which made it easier for private dinners. Best part of the house is the second private guest house ac and TVs all worked no complaints. Any questions were answered almost immediately.

Danielle

Home is beautiful! Super clean!!!! My only issue was not having hot water. That was our only complaint. We would spend a day at the beach or in the pool, but had to take cold showers. When it was brought to their attention, maintenance came immediately however - the hot water only lasted for an hour max. That was unfortunate. But the service was amazing. Their response time is quick. Will stay here again. Still giving 5 stars because this AirBnb is gorgeous!!!!

Our stay was great

Our stay was great ! We had a very large group of 8 and the house accommodated us perfectly. It was very spacious and very clean , the amenities were great, everything worked well, and overall just a nice clean and comfortable stay! The communication was great and the location was very convenient, just a couple minutes from the palm beach area & most of our excursions . They had enough bathrooms and all the rooms were equipped with air conditioning, and they even have a shower outside to go after the pool (very warm btw). Only issue was the shower water was slightly cold & the power came off at one time, nothing major, when we contacted them someone came to help right away . Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Seaneeba

Stuart and Julia were amazing, everything I needed they accommodated. Julia was even kind enough to decorate one of the rooms with happy birthday signs and balloons for my best friend who was turning 30. When we couldn’t find an item and I would give them a call they always responded. Couldn’t have asked for a more incredible place to stay. We have agreed to stay at one of there other locations next time we are in town.

Navaeh

Stuart & Julia were amazing hosts and very sweet. Responded quickly and were happy to answer all questions we had. It was a beautiful and homely space, would definitely book again. They made my guests and my trip very special. :)

Rashada

Before we left for vacation I was communicating with Stuart and Julia, and they answered all the questions that I had concerns about. The house was beautiful, and spacious for everyone. The house came with all the appliances which was perfect. Can’t wait to visit at the end of the year again.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay at the villa. The location was convenient yet quiet. The customer service was outstanding. The villa was spacious and stylish. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and be comfortable including beach chairs and towels.

Desyree

Honestly, was a great location. A little ways from the beach about a 8 min taxi ride which 13 dollars each way for a taxi. Other than that, this may be one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in in a long time. They helped so much, we had a private chef come who was amazing, massages at the house as well as just great communicate from the hosts. Loved the aesthetic of the home spacious and exactly how advertised. Thanks so much! Great birthday trip

Lamis

Stuart and Julia were amazing hosts! They responded back to us in a quickly manner and made sure my family and I needs were accommodated. The house is beautiful and spacious. Thank you again for hosting me the second time! It will not be the last.

Beautiful rental

The rental property did not disappoint. It was clean, well maintained and well equipped.The ac was amazing because I did not expect Aruba to be so hot. I only had to reach out to the property manager once to figure out the ac in the guest house. They answered right away and provided me the information over the phone. The location was of the home from everything was not far at all if you have a rental. Overall no complaints and would stay here again

Marianne

Beautiful house with a great outdoor and pool area, great for large groups as there are multiple bedrooms. AC was perfect, and well equipped kitchen! We rented a car and everything was a short drive away. The house also had all the essentials to go to the beach (beach towels, chairs, etc) Would definitely recommend!

Aylin

Our stay in Aruba was nothing short of amazing! Stuart and Julia’s Airbnb made our experience on the island ten times better! The house was beautiful, the neighborhood was peaceful, and the location was spot on! We were close to just about everywhere we traveled. Thank you for making our experience an unforgettable one. Me and my friends can’t wait to go back!

Amazing villa to spend 2 weeks!

We chose to stay at this property as it was close to everything without being in a busy section. We worked / studies remotely for one week and played for the second week. Such a great home. Had everything you could possibly need. Very spacious and everyone had their own corner. Space was open and modern. Kitchen was fabulous for cooking together. Outdoor seating by pool was awesome. We just absolutely loved it.

Tausha

Home is absolutely beautiful and so relaxing! Stuart and Julia were very attentive no matter when you called. I truly enjoyed the stay! And the extra touches when I walked in was wonderful!!

Takiyah

Finding a great honeymoon destination during a pandemic is not at all easy. My husband and I settled on Aruba & were extremely pleased with our stay at Stuart & Julia’s home. The house had all sorts of unexpected necessities. Beach chairs in the garage, loads of beach towels, coolers, pots, pans, spices and music speakers to hook our devices up to. Plenty of rooms and closet space with full length mirrors. The entire house was spotless! Great pool and outdoor space with an outdoor shower. Stuart & Julia were always available and quickly responded to any of our questions. Beaches & grocery stores were just minutes away. This was an overall amazing stay!

Nothing short of AMAZING!

Aruba is a home away from home for me. The house was AMAZING! Dealing with the rental listing company made the process so easy during this COVID season. The property is very clean,functional and spacious.

Wonderful Villa!

We loved everything about our stay. Spacious and modern property. Wonderful outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfy beds and bathrooms. Close to everything. Very attentive and responsive property managers a phone call away. 6 of us were able to work, attend virtual school, and do nightly swims in our private pool. Highly recommended property.

Alice

Stuart and Julia are consummate professionals who will make your stay stress-free. We were so impressed with their responsiveness to even the smallest issues and Stuart’s quick response to a lost key situation after-hours. He left his family to pick up the key and save any hassle for us. They’re terrific…I’ll look for properties managed by them in the future.

Kanessa

Hello, everything about the Airbnb is the same as the pictures. It was very clean and the concierge service was great help! We had groceries delivered and they even recommend great food places. The Airbnb’s location wasn’t far from most of the areas my friends and I went to. Maybe a 10-15 minute drive into town or beach depending on the location.

Na Tasha

The home was clean, beautiful and safe. We had a girls trip and there was plenty of room in the home. The neighborhood is close to everything yet quiet and it was very relaxing to come back to the place and enjoy our time in pool. There are plenty of dishes, spices, and cooking supplies. We were able to wash our clothes and swimsuits after a day exploring the island. I highly recommend staying at Stuart and Julia’s home.

Samantha

I booked this accommodation for a birthday trip with 5 other people and we had a FANTASTIC time. The home is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures. Stuart and Julia and their team kept active communication since the booking and had quick responses. I would definitely recommend their home and would love to stay here again.

Star

Stuart and Julia place is beautiful!! I’m so happy I chose this place to stay at for my birthday. The pool was warm. The house is full of everything you need. I was comfortable thru out my stay and will definitely book again. Thank you ❣️

Great stay in Aruba

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent this great property and for the attentiveness to our every need. I cannot say enough great things about Casiola Aruba! The property was just as described. Very clean and a great layout. We had a mother/daughter trip with 7 adult women and the layout was perfect. The pool area was fantastic and it is where we ended each day after spending our afternoons at the beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. I want to especially thank the rental agency for printing and delivering our COVID tests. Thank you again for being so responsive to our needs. We also took advantage of the concierge and she was FABULOUS! We can't wait to return. WE LOVE ARUBA!!

Fred & Alisha

Highly recommend Villa Marquesa. Very short drive to the tourist areas and beach. Great vacation and privacy.

Olamide

The most beautiful Airbnb that I have ever stayed in! Great hosts. Quickly responded to any issues we look forward to staying here again

Perfect family vacation

This was our first family trip together with my parents, siblings, and our spouses--and our first trip to Aruba. We were looking for a place that would be clean, big enough for 6, and offer privacy to all couples going. We really didn't want to stay at a resort because of Covid--we preferred having our own space and own pool. Staying at Villa Marquesa was the best decision we could have made. Villa Marquesa was absolutely perfect. Our experience in this home was such a big part of creating the beautiful memories we made together in Aruba. The house is spacious, comfortable, with amenities beyond what you would need. Stuart and Julia are extremely kind and accommodating, and interacting with them gave us our first experience of why Aruba is called One Happy Island. I have nothing but rave reviews for them and their hospitality. We are all back home now but we all miss our Aruba home, Villa Marquesa, so much! Our eyes ache to see Aruba and Villa Marquesa again. We hope to return again someday!

Muy Bonita y cerca a la Playa!

La casa es muy bonita, ubicada muy cerca a la playa. Recibimos siempre respuesta inmediata a nuestras inquietudes. Muy amables!!! Para destacar la limpieza y aseo de toda la casa y su inmejorable dotación de cocina y zona de lavandería. Muchas gracias a Julia

Stephanie

Beautiful rental. Clean and friendly service. Team was very responsive for everything that I needed.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay at Stuart & Julia’s for my mother’s 50th birthday. The home was beautiful and the amenities were great!

Tomi

This villa is absolutely to die for! It looks exactly like the pictures. Everything was nice and clean. The pool was the highlight for sure.. it even stayed warm for a late night swim. There are local markets minutes away, beaches 5 minutes, and 15 minutes from the airport. I suggest renting a car to make traveling more convenient. Loved this place.

Ria

Safe neighborhood, close to all destinations and hosts are quick to respond.

Morgan

BOOK HERE! Stuart and Julia were the perfect hosts! The house was beautiful and was able to fit 6 of us with plenty of room to spare. We loved starting our day in the pool, they even had pool floats available! Rooms are spacious! They connected us to great private transportation services, restaurant options, and activities. I celebrated my birthday and they had decorations waiting. Will definitely be back to enjoy the island again. They were great

Family Vacation

This place was exceptional! Very clean. My children loved it and enjoyed the pool! We were all very comfortable. It’s literally near the beaches and restaurants. The manager was very helpful with all our needs. I definitely recommend this place!

Kathleen

Lovely house for a larger group - great location close to all restaurants, beaches, shopping. Plenty of space for all to have private time if and as needed and great space for gathering for meals and drink.

Marina

The villa is spacious, stylish with very well thought of details for your pleasure and convenience. We had everything we needed. The customer service was superb. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. You would have two supermarkets within 2 min drive. The drive to the Palm beach was about 10 minutes. We would come back without hesitation.

Exception stay!!!

All I can say is WOW! From start to finish, Julia and Stuart showed us the best hospitality anyone can ask for. A new category of “Super Host” needs to be upgraded just for them. The house is better than what the pictures actually show and the recommendations given to us were top-notch. We all look forward to our next trip at the Villa Marquesa very soon! All the best to you both! Thank you so much!!!

Amazing Home!

Couldnt ask for a better location for my first experience in Aruba. Home was amazing end to end. Rooms were great, clean, and spacious. The location was ideal for driving around the island and the driveway helped. The outdoor area with the pool is to die for and made use of the great BBQ. Will come back to Aruba soon and hope to use this location again.
