Vacation Rental Property

2. Limestone is central
It is situated in one of the nicest residential areas of Curaçao,
on a Peninsula with waterfront and panoramic views all around
of the Spanish Water & Caracas bay with sailing boats,
the old plantation houses or new mansions.

Limestone is a little getaway, so quiet;
you’ll hear all kinds of birds twitter
or the kids of the orphanage play their music in the distance.
The sea breeze whispers in the palm- trees
and makes Limestone actually cooler
than the rest of Curaçao.

You can dream away in a hand- woven hammock.
You feel you are in a world of your own,
so private, most people don’t even know it exists,
a piece of paradise surrounded by nature.

A white limestone beach massaging your bare feet,
clear lukewarm swimming water in front of your door,
where the fish come eat of your hand. Just feed them,
don’t eat them.

It is an ideal location to relax & rejuvenate,
read a book or see the movie you missed at the cinema.
Kids simply enjoy themselves
with all the little things they find to do.
Yet if you like to go out,
you are only a few minutes away of all action,
like the beautifully renewed road
of the Brudernan of Brakapoti,
Caracasbay island & the Jan Thiel area
with walking paths & trails.
This is the perfect place
for your early morning fitness walk
or mountain bike ride.

Limestone is easy to find.
From the Caracasbaai road,
take the direction to Jan Sofat.
Turn right at the sign of Brakkeput Ariba.
And right again at the T- crossing.
Or just follow the Boathouse sign
up to the boathouse restaurant
and the road round to Limestone:
bamboo gate & Limestone sign
or follow the little yellow arrow.

with or without skipper, also a small motorboat.
Windsurfing is easy to learn (1 hour) and a lot of fun.
There is even kite sailing in Sint Joris bay

or a day trip to Klein Curacao,

along the south coast.
Nobody should miss the chance to visit the Blue Room
with captain Good Life in Santa Cruz.

The Spanish Water is a beautiful bay to discover by kayak.
There are many inlets with nice villas,
Mangrove groves, where the pelicans rest,
or sea grass snorkel spots where you can see life conch
(please adopt one as they go extinct).
You can paddle up to Barbara (Hyatt) Beach in 30 minutes

practical the whole of Curaçao is perfect for hiking.

Safaries.
There are several safaris,
offroad and and exploring nature in an open jeep.
Or even more exciting, you can also do this

This seems to be quite an experience & thrill ride.
Dancing lessons
On Monday there is a free salsa lesson in Brakkeput MeiMei.
And there is still “ Salsa si puedes”…. For the experts!
And one could ask Silvia Merle, ex-balarina from Danza Nacional de Cuba, professional dance teacher, for a private lesson.

is the happy hour on Sunday from 6.30 - 9.30 at Hemmingway
or Friday night Cuban night 10.30 pm at Pampas.
Underwater sports
There are many nice beaches
where you can snorkel or scuba dive.
Most beaches have facilities,
such as shady palapas, long chairs,
a bar, showers and a dive shop
or are natural, as are the country roads leading there,
which means you need a good car to get there.

Cars
To see Curaçao you'll need a sporty car, high on its wheels.
We rent out such a car + private parking place
as a package with each apartment:
Suzuki Ignes: very practical, economical, compact,
2-4 persons & perfect for sightseeing or shore diving.

As the cars are getting older,
we’re upgrading our cars to Jeeps,
which is fun and more practical
to see the island even offroad.
So now we also offer a Daihatsu Terios,
a Suzuki Jimney or AVP mini bus.
