IMPORTANT NOTES:
Upon arrival, there is a cash cleaning fee of $280 USD for the cleaning after your stay. This is not charged through VRBO because your rental payment goes to the homeowners' bank account in America. The cleaning gets done by a local company in Aruba, so it is more efficient to have the cleaning paid out on location.

We highly recommend you take out travel insurance as soon as you book your trip as this provides you with immediate cover for unforeseen emergencies. Travel insurance helps cover financial losses associated with surprise circumstances that could ruin a trip, including illness, injury, accidents, flight or other transportation delays, and other issues. Please understand that if you do not have travel insurance, any losses because of emergencies will be at your own risk and we uphold our VRBO cancellation policy and only refund according to this policy.

Your water and electricity is INCLUDED in your rental.
However, we do take meter readings and ask our guests to be energy concious and report running toilets, turn off AC when the rooms are not in use.

What a great experience! We were “stuck” in Aruba due to the snowstorm up in the northeast, and I had to scramble to secure lodging for my family. We spent four glorious and relaxing days here and would do it again (maybe even over the hotel zone)! We lived like locals and felt very comfortable.

Villa Carpe Diem was the most perfect spot for seven girl friends vacationing together for the week! Plenty of room for all and cooking/grilling there some saved us quite a bit. Such a great value, Having a washer and dishwasher was so nice. Everyone loved the pool! We truly loved our stay and would definately return.Now for the amazing and personal service of our hosts? PHENOMENAL!!!! Communication was perfect in every way.Rixt help arrange two of the seven to “sneak in” the day before in order to put together a suprise 50th Birthday party for our dear friend and she was happily shocked! We were met by Daniel and he was such a warm, welcoming, laid back and WONDERFUL HOST!!! Please do not ever hesitate booking with The Marin Team, they are amazing folks with top notch accommodation's.

Villa Carpe Diem in Noord, through Casa Mia, was not only an incredible value (one fourth of the price of the big name all-inclusive resorts on the coast) but it set the stage for a perfect adventure in Aruba. Centrally located for so many island excursions and beaches, Villa Carpe Diem is south of Arashi Beach and east of Hadicurari Beach and Tres Trapi, but generally in the north central part of the island. We found Noord close enough to the west coast beaches, while also placing us nearer to more adventurous locales in the east, i.e. the Ostrich Farm, Arikok National Park, Conchi natural pool, etc. Only fifteen minutes north of Oranjestad, and about ten minutes from Eagle Beach, this really was the perfect location. We still made it down to Baby Beach (fifty minutes south).The property itself was immaculate. Flanked by a wrought-iron fence, there was plenty of space for our whole crew and the setup at the pool in the back helped bridge the busy days into dinner plans, giving everyone time to wind down, relax and enjoy the space. Having a washer and dryer was clutch, the unique floor plan was really well designed for each group to kind of have their own little nook, and there was even a local grocery store and cafe/coffee shop less than a minute down the road.It really was an incredible, perfectly located and beautifully maintained property that we would easily come back to and visit again. Thank you Daniel and the Casa Mia group.

Fit the bill

I fell in love with this property online. We were looking to travel Aruba and needed a rental that met the needs of 9 family members ranging from 5 to 65 yrs old. Everything was perfect. We loved the private pool, dining space inside and out, the hammock and all of the room for everyone to have their own space. The host Daniel was terrific and quick to respond. The location was convenient with the grocery store within walking distance. We would definitely return as this is a perfect place for an Aruba vacation. Everyone enjoyed our stay here. Great memories had by all.

One time when needed something fixed, he sent the handy man right away and took care of the issue. House is amazing just as listed, pool and patio our favorite and location is prime!

Phenomenal House and Amenities - Highly Recommend

The house is exactly as advertised. The owner was responsive to anything we needed (which wasn’t much). The place was stocked with great beach towels, and plenty of them. Numerous beach chairs that were good quality and easy to carry. Pool setup was top notch and included rafts, fins, and snorkel equipment. Chairs around pool were comfortable and of nice quality. Outside table was large enough for the 8 of us to eat and play games. The hammock was a real hit with the whole family (ages 11 to 75). Beds were comfortable and pillows were plentiful. Less than a 7 minute drive to multiple beaches (including Palm and Eagle). You should rent a car if you stay here as parking is easy around Aruba and at this house. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed, though the grocery stores around the house were a lot (a lot!) more expensive than the ones near airport and town. Ice maker in freezer was robust and a travel beach cooler was even provided in the house.

Fantastic Family Vacation

This was our 4th vacation to Aruba. Villa Carpe Diem was perfect for our family. We have 3 adult children, their spouses and 3 small kids. The host made sure we had 2 high chairs and 2 pack and plays for the 2 little ones. Move in was smooth, with the key right at the front door and Daniel taking us through the house. Daniel's restaurant recommendations were spot on! The house allowed us to swim in the pool at all times, walk to the beach (the sign on the street helped point us through the cactus jungle), prepare some meals, enjoy carry out from some great local restaurants and more! The cooler and beach chairs made the short trip to Boca Catalina perfect. Without question, all our expectations were exceeded. Jose & Rixt's properties will certainly be high on our list for future trips to Aruba!

Perfect home

From the moment I booked this home everything was perfect. The hosts (Jose and Rixt) got right back to me whenever I had a question, no matter how small the question they answered it right away. The location perfect. At the end of the road is a path that takes you right out to the beach by the Ritz. 5 minute walk. The home has beach chairs, cooler and beach towels. The house was the perfect size for all of us. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful and great size for us. There is a laundry room and an outside shower to wash the sand off after a day at the beach. Daniel the property manager was incredibly sweet and very helpful. We were so sad to leave. I definitely recommend this home for your family. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for your hospitality and we will see you again!!!

Perfect home

The house was wonderful! Plenty of room for us all to spread out and have our own space. Having the pool was a blessing, just shower off outside and jump in after a hot day at the beach. The kitchen was fairly well equipped as long as you're not planning anything too extravagant. We were minutes from the high risers and Eagle Beach. Quiet neighborhood. Well kept inside and out and clean. Brought the cooler, chairs and beach towels on all our day trips. Can't wait to return!!
