We had a wonderful time staying at the villa, thoroughly appreciated how welcoming and pleasant Martin and Nicole made it to check in and to stay in the villa. It's a beautiful and comfortable residence, and it had everything we needed to make meals together and relax after full days of scuba diving!
We loved every moment at Dushi Lugar!! It is everything that the pictures and descriptions described. Nicole and the team were extremely welcoming. Always quick to respond to any questions while we were there. We had such a lovely time, already planning a return visit
Martin and Nicole are amazing hosts. They immediately respond to any email. The house was well equipped for cooking, the upstairs bedrooms each had a TV, air conditioning, great king bed and private bathroom. The main floor is stunning with stackable sliding glass doors that allow you to completely open up the back to the patio and pool. The stairs to the ocean provide easy access for snorkeling. I would definitely return for another stay.
My favorite part of this property is the deck. We looked at multiple houses along this road and so happy we picked Dushi Lugar. The deck is beautiful and sticks out further than all the other homes along the street. That provided us with extra privacy and my older kids loved jumping off the deck into the ocean. It was hard to leave the house for dinner because we had perfect sunset views every night. It was super windy during our stay but the house blocked the winds from the east. which was great. Also, just a short walk to Buddy Dive where my kids were able to get their advanced open water certification. Martin was a great host and even was able to help us promptly when we locked ourselves out of the house. No question, we will be back!
What a great trip! The only drawbacks for our stay were the functionality of the kitchen appliances. The grill needs repeat or replacing. There were issues with the stove eyes. We planned on cooking more than dining out and that didnât work out very well. Overall kitchen update would make it a perfect destination!
The house and experience exceeded expectations on all levels. Clean, breezy in common areas and extremely cool and comfortable bedrooms with excellent AC. Great accommodations for dive equipment and convenient to all the southern dive sites. Nicole and Martin were very accommodatingâŠchecking in/out a breeze. Will be back!
We had a great time at the Dushi Lugar. The open air downstairs was comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms are air conditioned. We were able to cook many of our meals in the home. There was very easy access to restaurants and shopping near the home. The pool was small, but very clean and comfortable. The ocean was very pleasant to jump in and enjoy.
This is the second time Iâve stayed in this house. Love everything about it. The location is great, close to delfins and all the diving. The deck overlooking the ocean is amazing. Lots of places to sit. The pool is a nice touch for cooling off in the afternoon.
This is our third time at Dushi Lugar and it did not disappoint. Road construction and storm damage detract from the experience but it truly is a beautiful place to stay.
The house is extremely spacious and clean. The bedrooms have nice air conditioners, large bathrooms and plenty of storage space. The main living area had that amazing ocean breeze throughout the house. The back patio and deck was where we spent 99% of our time. We relaxed, sunbathed and snorkeled right off the dock. The abundance of marine life is incredible. We swam with a spotted eagle ray, turtle, octopus and a wide variety of tropical fish. Nicole and Martin were extremely helpful and answered any of our questions immediately. We highly recommend this home!
Martin and Nicole were great host! Communication with the host was very prompt. The house was very clean and had the most amazing breezes blowing through out the house! Incredible views from both floors. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. We did leave a set of plastic glasses for little ones as ours dropped a few small glasses which we also replaced. Enjoyed the swimming pool and snorkeling right off the deck. The only negative is the deck needs some repairs. But it didnât interfere with our stay in the least. Hope to visit this home again in the futuređ
The house was exactly like it appeared in the pictures. Clean open and beautiful. It had plenty of towels to use at the water and for diving. The kitchen was stocked with enough for our needs. I loved all the lounge chairs out on the deck. And itâs always great to have a pool to come back to after diving. The area to wash our scuba gear was perfect.
We just returned from a weekâs stay at Villa Dushi Lugar and absolutely loved it! With the exception of some storm damage to the deck, the house looked exactly as it did in the photos. The view was amazing and we could sit on the deck and watch the sunset. It was so convenient to walk across the street and have a great dinner at Paradise Pizza. Nicole was an excellent property manager and responded to any inquiries quickly. She also shopped for us and had the items put away by the time we got to the villa. We will definitely stay here again for future trips!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dushi Lugar. The ocean front location made for beautiful views and we enjoyed eating our meals and playing cards on the patio. The house is conveniently located to kite surfing, which is why we chose it since our boys took a week of kite surfing lessons. Itâs also a perfect location for diving at the southern dive sites and renting gear from Dive Friends which is right down the street. We ate at the pizza place across the street and Avocados right up the street, both were tasty, laid back, and walkable. If we could make one suggestion, it would be to add a tv in the family room. TVs are in all bedrooms, but not the family room. We would have liked to watch some football games together. That was a minor item and weâd highly recommend this house.
Overall, I really liked this villa. The kitchen is well-equipped, the house was clean, the beds were comfy. The communication with the host was always very prompt however, it was sometimes lacking information or a little confusing - a bit of back and forth to understand some things on my end. Delightful people though! Two things to be aware of...1. the entire house is smooth concrete and it gets VERY slippery and 2. the mosquitos were TERRIBLE and there's no AC in the lower level and no screen in the main door to back of the house. This of course is no reflection of the hosts or house. If you book this property, you will be pleased. =)
We have stayed at many vacation rentals all over the world and a few different ones in Bonaire. This property is perfectly located for southern diving, Sorobon beach, or the quick trip into town. The house is beautiful with a great soaking pool. Giant strides off the deck! Dive Ches Heinz multiple times right behind the house. House had plenty of space, huge back covered deck. We ate all meals outside. Rooms are all suites with king beds and great big bathrooms. Aircon. worked great. We shut it off during the day and as long as the doors remained closed stayed cold all day. We will absolutely stay here again. Hosts were responsive to needs but we really never had to contact them once in the place.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Dushi Lugar. The house was spacious, well equipped and overlooked the gorgeous Bonaire waters. The outdoor accommodations were wonderful for enjoying time by the pool, or taking a trip down the ladder to snorkel the waters right off the property. There are plenty of fish to see right out your back door. The outdoor shower, rinse tub and closet were great for cleaning up and organizing gear after time exploring the dive/snorkel sites of Bonaire. The bedrooms were very comfortable with great closet space and nice air conditioning units to use as needed. We didn't have use of the advertised garage, but were able to secure our rental vehicle in the driveway and close the outdoor gate for privacy. Owners were very responsive to any questions or issues we encountered during our stay. We frequented the pizza place and outdoor bar across the street a few times during our stay. Would definitely stay again.
The house is perfect! It has a fantastic reef just in front so to dive is really easy. The house is like in the photos so that's great
The area is safe and quiet and there are one dive friends really close. We will come back!
My husband and I have visited Bonaire three times and stayed in different VRBO, this one by far is our favorite. The location, cleanliness of the grounds, and gracious nature of the the hosts, made this my favorite place to stay on Bonaire. We are already planning our next trip and will be staying at Dushi Lungar again. Thank you
Everything about this home was perfect! The house is beautiful! We enjoyed everything about it. Especially loved the two master bedroom set-up, with both bedrooms looking out on the exquisite sunsets of Bonaire.
This is our third house that weâve rented in Bonaire and it did not disappoint. Itâs on the water with a ladder into the ocean. All 3 bedrooms are master bedrooms with King size beds and en suite bathrooms which included 2 sinks, a toilet and a shower. Each room also has two closets with a one safe.
The kitchen was fully equipped and there are two grills, one propane, the other charcoal, which was nice. The entire house is gated which made us fill secure.
We dove and snorkeled right off the back of the house (Chez Hines is the dive site) and it was great.
Nicole responded immediately when I emailed her.
