Oceanfront Bungalow 3 BR 3 Bath w/glorious views!

Our 2 story, 3 bedroom 3 bath bungalow is located right in the heart of the resort. Just steps from the community pool, we are at the hub of activity where you can overlook the pool while still enjoying the ocean view from either the downstairs patio or upstairs terrace. As a vacation home, we want our furnishings to be fresh, comfortable and indicative of island life and trust that you will find our home inviting, peaceful and fun.

Marazul #3 is a no smoking 2-story, 3-bedroom spacious bungalow located next to the resort swimming pool and overlooking the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is the perfect vacation home for families and friends who enjoy sun, water and relaxation.

Marazul Dive Resort is an oceanfront, privately owned, gated community located in Westpunt, the western point of the island of Curacao. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Westpunt is an easy, 30 minute drive from the airport taking you through the natural habitat and by scenic views of the island. Along with having the Caribbean Sea as your front yard, the resort setting, complete with tropical flowers, palm trees, native birds and sparkling swimming pool provides a spectacular backdrop for the every level of photographer. Stairs along the cliff wall descend directly into the Caribbean Sea for swimmers, snorkelers and divers to enjoy the beauty of the calm, turquoise waters and abundant sea life.

Marazul Dive Resort has community areas featuring a swimming pool, sun chairs, shady gazebo and access to the Caribbean Sea.

Our 2 - story, 3 - bedroom, 3 - bath bungalow is located right in the heart of the resort. Just steps away from the community pool. We are at the hub of activity where you can overlook the pool while enjoying the ocean view from either the downstairs patio or upstairs terrace.

Along with a charcoal grill, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything necessary to make meal preparations easy. Hot water is available in the baths and the kitchen area. The kitchen hot water comes from a tankless hot water heater under the sink where you can either have hot, warm or cold water. Enjoy dinner while watching the beautiful sunset from the upstairs terrace whether gathered around the teak dining table or relaxing in the adirondack chairs.
Our bungalow has new doors and windows with screens allowing the flow of trade winds and enhancing safety. There is air conditioning with new units installed September 2017 and a safe is available for storing your valuables.

As a vacation home, we want our furnishings to be fresh, comfortable and indicative of island life and trust that you will find our home inviting, peaceful and fun. Additional detailed information pertaining to transportation, grocery stores, restaurants and other helpful tips will be provided upon booking to ensure you have the information needed to make this a dream vacation. While we are available by phone or email to answer any questions, our property manager Rene is readily available on site and extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

To help you to take advantage of the island and our home we will be emailing you several descriptive booklets upon your booking, detailing scuba sites we like (and why we like them) local restaurants that we particularly enjoy and suggestions on places to see and things to do. Of course, we're available by email or phone most any time to answer your questions. We are also very lucky to have Rene, an exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely personable manager, on site who's always willing to help.

Overview:
Hikers and bikers can enjoy the 2 national parks, Mt Christoffel and Shete Boka - within 10 minutes from Marazul. Willemstad, the capital city is a 30-40 minute drive away and offers shopping, restaurants, movie cinemas and casinos. Yes, there is something for everyone to enjoy on Curacao!

Getting around:
Exit left out of Marazul and you are less than 5 minutes away from local beaches of Playa Forti and Playa Grandi where local fisherman sell their daily catch. If you are into scuba diving or snorkling Playa Grandi is a must see. You'll be guaranteed to see numerous turtles although you may have to look a little closer to find the local seahorse. Around the bend is Go West Diving, a full service dive shop offering the best of shore diving (Alice in Wonderland dive site) and daily boat dives. The staff there is excellent!

Exit right out of Marazul and you are within 10-20 minutes of several additional , picturesque beaches, Big Knip, Little Knip, Playa Jeremi and Playa Lagun that require no admission fee. Cas Abou and Porto Marie are full service beaches with facilities and restaurants that require a small fee for admission.

We truly feel fortunate to own this beautiful bungalow. We look forward to sharing our slice of paradise with you for your vacation.

So, bonbini na nos kas! Welcome to our island home! We hope that you fall in love with Curacao just as we have and will return with your family and friends for many vacations to come.

perfect spot
we loved the location in Westpunt and had a really great stay - there are very good restaurant options close by and the beaches/snorkeling are great. I didn't fully understand that there would not be air conditioning in the kitchen/living areas and it was hot while we were there but it wasn't a deal breaker. If a quiet vacation spot is what you're looking for, this is the spot for you!

Really enjoyed the house. Large table on the upstairs balcony was excellent for enjoying the sunsets after a day of diving. Greg communicated very well and everything was as expected! Next time we'll be sure to do a dive off the house reef.

Greg & Susan were quick to reply and helpful. They sent an email with detailed attachments prior to our stay that provided us with information on dining, activities, transportation, and other necessities. There were a few very minor glitches: the code to the gate for the community didnā€™t work, directions for the keyless entry couldā€™ve been more explicit, a few pans were dirty. Otherwise, it was paradise!!!! The location was idyllic, woke to birdsong and waves with a short walk to steps down to snorkeling. Sunsets over the water and coconut trees dancing in the trade winds. Iā€™d recommend 100% to book here with Greg & Susan!! Thank you

Our time at Marazul Dive Resort and Greg and Susan's home was beyond our hopes. The home was clean and stocked with everything we could need for our one month visit. The home was a great base for visiting the beautiful beaches and trips to Westount. We slept great while listening to the tradewinds blowing outside. Greg and Susan were so good at communicating and we never waited long for a response. Upon booking the home we were sent a complete info guide onanything we needed at Marazul and the island. If you are considering renting this home, consider no longer and just book it. You will be so glad you did.

Great Place to Stay
The property was just as expected with the kitchen fully stocked with more than enough dishes, pots, pans, utensils and the cupboards were clearly marked with their contents saving us the hassle of guessing where everything was. The bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces were comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool was just steps away and the two balconies had table and chairs. The owners provided a wealth of information regarding the island with recommendations on restaurants, things to do and places to grocery shop. Communications were excellent and we would stay here again. Overall, an enjoyable carefree stay in nice accommodations

Lovely location with sunsets that canā€™t be beat
Lovely condo with easy access to pool and steps directly down to snorkel/dive onsite. Laid back location with a dive shop a few minutes away and several restaurants to try. Only recommendation would be some couch repairs/replacement, each have damaged legs/unstable, but were good enough for us as we were only inside a short time.

Spacious rental near pool
We stayed in Bungalow 3 for three weeks in March. Communicating with Greg and Susan during the booking process and during our stay was a real pleasure. They were friendly and quick to respond to questions and provided interesting reading material about the island and clear directions for their home and the check in process. The bungalow was spacious with comfortable furniture and we felt right at home. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and serving. I really love having a crock pot to use while on vacation so was pleased to find one in the kitchen. We have stayed at Marazul before and we know that hot water is not available in every unit but hot water to do dishes is especially important to us. This unit has hot water in the kitchen and showers. We also found the use of a washing machine in the unit very convenient. The beds were comfy and we loved having our breakfast every morning on the spacious upper terrace. There is a nice large dining table on the upper terrace. We also enjoyed playing cards there in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay in Greg and Susan's bungalow; unfortunately as with many other travelers during this time period COVID-19 shortened our stay but we wouldn't hesitate to book this unit again. Additionally, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this unit to other travelers looking for a spacious rental close to the pool and the dive rinse tank!

Awesome Vacation
Our Bungalow was very clean, well equipped and located right by the pool. Snorkeling from the cliff at the resort was magical and just steps away. The pool area was clean and we were lucky to have mostly older guests, so it was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed it so much we have made reservations for 2021.

Bungalow had *everything* we needed. Communication with Greg was excellent, and location was just right for those not wanting the "resort experience". We wish we could have stayed longer. Looking forward to a return visit. The only slight hiccup was that we didn't realize there were THREE different locations to find the key after hours. Rene was very helpful in getting us in. Then we were great.

A little piece of paradise
Our vacation at Marazul #3 was one of the best trips weā€™ve ever taken, and we travel and cruise extensively as California retirees. The information provided to us by the owners was extensive which ensured a smooth arrival and comfortable stay. Knowing where to shop, snorkel and eat made all the difference in the world. Our daily routine consisted of at least two different snorkel trips (all 5 minutes away from the house) in the morning followed by afternoon sightseeing. I took so many pictures of turtles that look professionally done that I could fill up a wall. My husband went fishing with a local guy and came back with Wahoo and tuna ā€” all done with a hand line. Count on us returning next year!

Great Stay in #3!
My husband and I, along with 2 friends, just ended a week long stay in Greg and Susanā€™s lovely home in Marazul. For my husband and I this was our 4th time at Marazul, though the first in a 3 bedroom unit, and we were very happy with the accommodation. The unit is beautifully situated by the pool and is extremely well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking when we ate in, and there are a few good restaurants not too far away. I donā€™t think we wanted for anything. It was fantastic having the space to spread out and we very much enjoyed the large upper deck in the late afternoons and evenings, and the patio for breakfast each day. Marazul continues to be beautifully maintained - the grounds are beautiful, and we love the quietness of this end of the island while still enjoying the easy proximity to a number of good snorkel beaches. And, of course, snorkeling right from the bottom of the steps at Marazul. Lastly, it was a pleasure dealing with Greg and Susan. From our very first inquiry, they were always very prompt with their replies and provided much excellent information on the property and the island. We would definitely recommend, and hope to return to their island home again in the future.

Beautiful bungalow and resort
From booking to returning home our hosts Greg and Susan were wonderful and spot on with all recommendations, I wouldn't change a thing. The snorkeling on the west end of the Island was the best I have every seen. Swimming with the turtles amazing. I would re emphasize the need for getting groceries prior to leaving the airport area because the closest "market" is 15" away and it doesn't have the variety as the Centrum Market. Overall we LOVED it and hope to have the opportunity to return. Cindy, Donna, Kim and Patti

Great Rental in a Beautiful Setting
My family of 4 had a great (7 night) stay in this rental. Everything was exactly as advertised in the listing. The owner sent thorough check-in instructions and helpful information about the island before our stay. The owner was very responsive to our questions. We had more than enough room in this unit and it's location next to the pool was perfect for us. The pool closes at 9pm and the community is nice and quiet, so the location was perfect. The refrigerator is full size, even though it might look a bit smaller in the photos. Note, we kept all of our food in the fridge during our stay due to the tiny ants that live in all tropical places. The unit was sparkling clean when we checked in and the ants have nothing to do with the unit. We learned this trick on a different trip to the Caribbean. The freezer was conveniently full of ice cube trays and a nice bin to keep a stash of ice. The freezer also worked very well - we froze bottles of water every night so we could take cold water with us on our adventures the following day. We also made use of the cooler and washing machine. There are lots of hooks and a large drying rack on the balcony that we used to dry our wet clothes and bathing suits. The bedroom air conditioners worked very well. We only used them at night and were careful to turn off the lights etc. when we left the unit. The bedrooms all stayed nice and cool during the night. The kitchen was very well stocked. We especially appreciated the abundance of containers with lids and all of the cutting boards. These little touches made the kitchen very functional. I would recommend future Curacao travelers take plenty of bug spray. The screened/louvered windows in the unit kept out all of the bugs, but we did need some bug spray on our adventures and at some restaurants. We had a great vacation and we are very glad we chose to stay in this rental! Thanks for sharing your home with us. We are avid snorkelers, but were amazed by the owners' photographs displayed in the unit. I wish we could figure out how to find a frogfish to get our own photo!

Wonderful place for a family
This was our second visit to Marazul and first time staying in the unit. Unit 3 was perfect for our family. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms with an upstairs tv loft area. There were six people on our vacation and this unit provided privacy and space. The owners have decorated the house with beautiful photos of the local area. The kitchen was well equipped. We loved having a washer in the outside closet area. That closet also allowed us to store our snorkel gear and beach stuff without bringing all the sand into the house. The pool closes at 9:00pm so there is no noise from the pool. During the day you could sometimes hear the swimmers but only if you were really listening for them while the windows were open. This unit gets a wonderful cross breeze and there is no need to run the air conditioners during the day. We love Marazul's location on the island. The owners provided information regarding close restaurants. They also have the best books on the island regarding the beaches and landhuises. We were able to quickly get to the beaches and restaurants. I cannot imagine a better location on the island.
