Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Oranjestad-West

We had an amazing time celebrating our anniversary at Maria’s place. The resort has the most incredible staff! Cannot stress it enough. Amenities are gorgeous and its steps from the ocean. Can’t believe we got such a deal. Taxi and bus into town and around the island very easy too. You can also take advantage of the concierge to book excursions.

The Gold Coast Villas are a combination of single homes, duplexes and 2-story condo buildings. Mirtha's place is in a condo is in a first-floor condo. The walled-in patio is huge and includes 3 palm trees (one with coconuts) and smaller plantings at the base of the wall. During Jan-Mar you can enjoy eating breakfast and lunch outside while watching birds fly about and visit. We occasionally placed 2-3 grapes on the wall for the Troupials (look like Baltimore Oriels) to eat. By the middle of the afternoon we usually sat close to the living area to avoid the harsh sun. We knew there were 2-3 different tenants staying above us but never figured out who as they were so quiet. During the hottest part of the afternoon we could go to one of three pools. There is a restaurant, Salina's, at the complex. We did drive to nearby restaurants: Tiera del Sol across the road-upscale: 080 about a mile drive away-very informal but often fun. Nearest beach is about a mile away.

Very kind and warm hosts. They would do anything to make their guests feel comfortable, happy and entertained. Their place is affordable and well positioned by the ocean so if you don’t want to be by crowds at the other beaches, you need not go far to be in the water and have it nearly to yourselves. It is easy to see why so many guests liked their stay with them.

Great place stay 9 days , all clean , all working , just like picture , great neighborhood, have all beach necessity chair , cooler … 5 to 10 min palm beach walking . Great host .

annie was incredible—super nice, responsive and gave great recommendations! genuinely cannot wait to come back and stay at her place. 12/10 would recommend.

Thalía is a very hospitable host, she gave us tips to have a great time on the island, the place is perfect for a couple. Everything is very close. We'd be happy to come back! ✨

This was my first trip to Aruba and my husband and I absolutely fell in love with both the island and this beautiful condo! Veronica was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process and was quick to respond. The property has everything you need and the location can’t be beat! Walkable to many great shops and restaurants, you are right in the heart of it all. The home is cozy and comfortable Veronica really thought of everything. The building itself is gorgeous and feels safe with lots of great amenities. The view is beautiful and the pool/ roof top view was also jaw dropping! We will absolutely be back :)! Thank you Veronica!

Good location near the supermarket, several beaches, the airport by car, everything is much more comfortable

We stayed at Divi before and booked direct with resort. This time we found a room on air bnb. Also, Olga & Slav have a 2 bedroom which is hard/impossible to find direct with resort. All of the amenities needed were in room and there was even stuff to use at pool/beach in the closet. The hosts were very responsive to questions and proactively communicated info on check in and WiFi. We would definitely stay again.

Our stay was amazing! The apartment has breathtaking ocean views from both the living room and the two bedrooms. It’s fully equipped with a dishwasher, washer, and dryer, which made everything super convenient. The beach is just a 2-minute walk away. Marielvia was always attentive and her responses were incredibly fast. Highly recommended!

We have never stayed downtown but this place was wonderful! It was so close, walking distance to shopping, water and great foods! Lying in the bed, looking at the ocean was gorgeous! Thank you for being so responsive!

Beautiful place,the on site restaurant was just as nice with really friendly staff and we really enjoyed it more on the afternoon with a great selection of light food while by the pool which are maintained along with the beautiful grounds to a high standard.The main part of eagle beach is about 10mins to your left but there is a little enclave 7 mins to your right which was not to busy that became our favourite.Super food supermarket is about a 20min walk or 5mins by car and it has everything including a deli dinner that serves nice breakfast and lunch.The only down side was the Airbnb app was playing up and would not let me contact Svetlana and tell her what a great time we were having and get recommendations off her but that was solved when I returned home by deleting the app and downloading it again.We will definitely be returning back to this beautiful apartment that catered for all our needs.The views is something I will never forget.Thank you Svetlana.

We stayed for 5 nights and throughly enjoyed our time here. The place was spacious with gorgeous views of the blue water of the Caribbean Sea. We were a short taxi ride from the heart of Eagle Beach and walking distance to supper market and Restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!

Aischel was super easy helping us with transfers to/from airport. Greeted us at condo complex, super friendly. Explained everything we needed to know. Unit was clean, conveniently located with a view of pool and a perfect view of our favorite Eagle Beach! Would definitely recommend . Pictures are accurate.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was perfect for us as a family with kids. The condo had everything we could need - including cooler, ice packs, and beach chairs. We loved the patio view with the pool just outside. The walk to the beach was so close and easy. We had an issue with the coffee pot and the host replaced it right away. The condo was so clean and comfortable. I would stay there on every trip to Aruba!

This condo is beautiful! The bed’s pillows and linen are lovely. I slept well! It is very clean. The kitchen has every amenity you need. Pots, pans, coffee maker are all new and nice. It looks just like the pictures! I had friends staying in other units, I felt very safe on this property and unit. If you are considering this property, try to get this unit.

We really enjoyed our stay at this rental. It was a close driving distance to Palm beach and everything else was super close driving. The house offered many different places to hang out- by the pool, upstairs balcony and in the spacious living room. We were extremely comfortable as a family of four and will have some great memories we won’t soon forget! Thank you for the beautiful rental- it made our vacation!

We stayed for 3 weeks at the Gold Coast. The house was great and had everything we needed. It even had a nice garden to chill and relax. We felt us at home and we didn't want to leave. The pool is at the end of the street so that was great also. Sam was a great host and we really appreciated the bottle of wine when we arrived. He responded very quickly if we had any questions. If possible we would definitely come back next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed a quick mother daughter getaway as we navigated a difficult situation at home. Because I had printed and spiral bound the packet of info and actually read it a few times I was completely comfortable with everything! A+++

We could not have picked a better place for our vacation. Everything was as described. Our local host was always available to us and gave us such great recommendations. We would 100% return!

Spotless and beautifully decorated. Nice peaceful community. Close to beaches, 2 minute drive or walkable. The unit was well stocked with everything you needed. And CLEAN!! Washer & dryer were a lifesaver- pool was immaculate and relaxing. Master king bed was extremely comfortable with comfy pillows too! Outside area was perfect for a dinner at home, grill worked well, appliances all worked well, place was perfect. Would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again!!

We loved the location if all you’re interested in is going to the beach swimming in a nice pool and having nice places to eat and All walkable. We also recommend Pelican tours, right next door. We loved seeing the iguanas all over the grounds. Unfortunately there were some things we didn’t like the buttons at the gate were often getting stuck and as a result we were stuck waiting outside the gate a few times. The parking lot is really small. We thought the floors were really slippery and the bathrooms were small. We couldn’t get the tv in English.

Our first trip to Aruba was wonderful, and we loved it. We really liked our place; it was quiet, private, and super clean. We would definitely stay with Vacation Aruba again.

Sylvia the property manager was amazing, showed us where everything was and gave clear directions on how to use everything on the property. We have used AirBNB and VRBO for many other properties and this was possibly the best for the price paid! We would definitely stay here again. We had a great starter set of everything from coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry soap, dish detergent, paper products, etc. The grill was spotless as was the pool and all the furniture. Beds were super comfortable. This truly felt like home away from home and a great place to unwind after a day at the beach. We really appreciate Sylvia meeting us at the property for check in and check out. We have never had a property manager do that before and it was a nice touch and very much appreciated.
