[The agent arranging for groceries prior to arrival] was a great service and can't believe we didn't use it last year--all the groceries were there and put away. It was so nice not having to go to Warehouse and instead we got to have some pool time and a cold Heineken! We had another great trip! Thanks!

We were very pleased with the house reef. I could do one or two dives on that reef every day of the week and enjoy it. We saw an eagle ray, turtle, spotted drum, sharptail eel, juvi angelfish and all the usual reef fish. The rinse tank and locked gear storage by the pool was great and made diving the house reef very easy. We used the pool every day, great to cool off in! The safe was nice to have and big enough for my laptop. We tend to stay in condos more than hotel rooms. This was the first trip where we ate every breakfast and lunch in the condo, the nice kitchen, large porch and great ocean view made us not want to go out! We had a great time, loved the condo, and hope to get back.

Your apartment is lovely. Everything we needed to cook and eat was supplied. Our children were happy to have a bathroom attached to their bedroom. The furniture was comfortable. We liked having sand at the beach at the apartment because we snorkeled from there a couple of times. It was nice to have a pool, too.

We had a wonderful time on Bonaire, and mostly because of your beautiful and relaxing condo. We felt right at home. We loved hanging out around the pool and snorkeling right out the back steps. Thank you for your hospitality.

We loved, loved, loved your place! We've been to Bonaire for the last 9 years ... your place blew us away! I totally fell in love with your shower! We are definitely coming back next year. We have totally fallen in love with your condo! It is so nice & quiet but close to town and the kitchen is better than mine at home! Thanks for sharing your homey, comfortable, welcoming home. We truly appreciate it.

Just wanted to drop a note to once again say how much we enjoyed VINIBU and Bonaire. We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary while on the island, and could not have had a more amazing week! Thank you for everything.

Thank you for maybe the best holiday-accommodation ever! VINIBU met all our expectations and even exceeded them. Location of your apartment is ideal. VINIBU's house reef had large variety of fish, we think we even saw blue-fin tuna herding smaller fish and a barracuda in action. Its really a luxury to be able to dive directly from your own porch. And it was theraputic just to sit on the balcony and listen to the waves hit the beach and corals making beautiful ting-a-ling sound against the sand. One thing is that we have to travel almost 10000 kilometres, a bit far. Your amenities made this trip easy. Thank you.

Well, this is paradise! We have been coming to Bonaire for over a dozen years and staying at VINIBU has definitely offered us a piece of "heaven on earth". We will be back!!! Thanks!

The condo was larger than we expected. The first thing we did was admire the view from the balcony. Another thing I noticed was how well stocked the kitchen was. Some of the best diving we had was right off this beach. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us. We will be back.

Thanks Vince & Nina for your hospitality. Another absolutely perfect vacation! We feel almost guilty in having enjoyed continuous warm and sunny weather with beautiful breezes, no bugs, awesome sunsets and starry skies. I think it rained for 7 seconds on our last day! We think that unit number 9 is the most beautiful location--you could not have chosen better. Your place is a gem. Like dolphins, we shall return!

Thank you Vince & Nina for the use of your VINIBU--it is the "best" place on the island! A beautiful place to call home while in Bonaire.

Saw [a] flock of flamingos fly by one morning. We prayed to see dolphins. Literally one minute later, someone down below yelled "DOLPHINS!" What a great week. Only hope the next occupants have an equally wonderful week.

Hi, Vince and Nina,
That was so kind and thoughtful of you to give us a call - it was most appreciated. You were the perfect hosts. We could not have been happier in your wonderful abode.
We are so happy that we chose your condo and really do look forward to our return visit. We feel privileged to have met you. It is just not the same thing--being welcomed personally by the owners as apposed to an agent.

This was our first trip to Bonaire and your condo made our visit particularly delightful. In our point of view, the living room/balcony view of the Caribbean and Klein Bonaire is one of the best on the island. We've been to various islands of the Caribbean, but your home-away-from-home made this trip perhaps our best island vacation ever! Your advice and interest in our trip was very helpful. We hope to return again next year! We had a terrific visit and VINIBU is top-flight.

Your place was wonderful! We loved the location (we had never stayed south before) and how quiet it was. And it got us to dive the south area more and find some new favorite dive sites! Diving right behind the building was nice too. In fact, on our first dive out back we saw our first Southern stingray!

Thank you for offering such a nice home for a rental. The view is incredible, the apartment is extremely clean and its easy to settle in to for a wonderful vacation. Watching the pelicans fish from the balcony and enjoying the wonderful sunsets created special memories of our trip to Bonaire. Your home is extremely comfortable. We appreciated the soft beds. What a wonderful place to stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

For being avid snorkelers, we were in absolute Heaven! Your home was so wonderful to "come home" to and the balcony was our constant hang-out. Couldn't get enough of that gorgeous view. Dolphins swimming by, pelicans and flamingos in the air, and the troupial singing us awake every morning ... can't wait to come back.

Thanks, Vince & Nina, for allowing me into your beautiful home. The view from your balcony is simply breathtaking ... I will miss the view and the waves lulling me to sleep each night. I can't imagine staying at any other place. It truly felt like home. VINIBU is a great location, great building. Can't beat that view and ocean sounds. Nice breezes too!

What a delight on arrival day! A pod of dolphins skipped along directly in front of the apartment while we were sitting on the balcony. After that, a flock of flamingoes flew over. The week of diving was spectacular, apartment great, and Bonaire unforgettable. One week here is not enough.

I'm living proof you don't have to be a scuba diver to love Bonaire. Detective novels on the chaise lounge do quite nicely ... not to mention cocktails at sunset and catch of the day al fresco.
