The Beach House Aruba was fabulous! We were there Oct 5th 2013 - Oct 13th. Parking was no problem! Very quiet! Loved the little kitty who came to greet us throughout our stay. The room was perfect, AC worked great and not too cold, so never got a chill after being in the sun all day. Loved the open air dinning room/kitchen/living space. Grill available to use as well. Bathrooms updated with good ventilation. Ewald was a fantastic host and happy to help in anyway he can. He was always around throughout the day. The happy hour he hosted one evening was great, being able to meet and talk to the other guests was nice.
The beach is beautiful with a nice little cabana that no one used much, so we were sure to take full advantage of it. Do be sure to bring water shoes with a good sole if you want to swim in front of the beach house as it is a bit rocky and lots of sharp shells. For swimming we mostly walked 5 minutes down the beach in front of the Ritz that is being built and swam there. We already plan to come back within 2 years! Fantastic Honeymoon!

This place is for people who love outdoors as your "house" is outside except for the bedroom and bathroom. There is definitely a bohemian atmosphere that we cherished. Ewald and Doris, the owners made us feel at home and are friendly. They tend to their guests but respect their privacy. They live on the premises which in itself is a proof that this place is a place where one could stay for a long long time... For us it was close to heaven.


It has all the charms of camping in the outdoors and all the comfort one needs to sleep sound and safe.

It is also close enough (even by foot) to the busy and entertainment area of the all-inclusive hotels but far enough to enjoy the charm of a quiet evening watching the stars...

My friend and I found Beach House Aruba because we were meant to stay there! We only had a few days so we had to make the most of some serious relaxation! (We are both nurses in a prison and needed to re-charge and re-boot big time!) We were seeking a unique, relaxing, off-the-beaten track experience - and we found it! Located near the more touristy low and high-rises down the beach, but far enough away, to offer a mellow, peaceful vibe...we got to sit down on the beach across from the Beach House Aruba and feel like we had the beach to ourselves! And we did! Pure heaven - sitting on our chaise lounges, hopping into the water every so often to cool down, donning our masks and snorkeling out to the ship wreck to look at the beautiful fish, seeing eye-to-eye with the pelicans, laughing at the antics of the geckos, soaking in the sun, nipping back and forth between our thatched hut to grab drinks and food from our adorable outdoor kitchen. And best of all watching the kite and wind surfers whipping across the water. ..close enough that we could study their technique, laughing as they splashed us! (Next trip, we too will be whipping back and forth!) This is a very special place, made more so by Ewald who graced us with Aruba history lessons, tips on where to go and what to see, and a chance to witness this amazing windsurfer do his thing. This place is a gem and seems to attract very cool, international guests. Ewald is amazing and the rooms are unique, eclectic and comfortable. Our rooms were spotless, his staff was lovely, helpful and kind. This is a very special place - get ready to unwind, relax and soak in the epi-center of The Happy Island!
