Jay (the owner) is a very cool guy. He was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It’s a short drive to baby beach.

The ultimate lush and cozy bohemian Aruban pad. Trees, garden, birds, just minutes from beautiful Baby Beach

The place is perfect for your stay in Aruba, it has a very beautiful garden where you can relax and Jay is a very kind and helpful host. He did everything to make our stay a positive experience :) The room had air conditioning and warm water. Also you can borrow snorkels and even a canoe. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The Magical Garden put 'Home' into Homestay, Jay (our host) was very friendly (& a comedian), he is rightly proud of his agricultural attempts (when the chickens don't get into his crops) and made us feel very welcome. We were happy we chose to stay in the South to begin our visit to Aruba, it gave us a different outlook than if we had just stayed in the North (ie quieter, calmer and less developed). There are a couple of Supermarkets close by, Jay took us to the Zeerover restaurant, good place (fish n chips), inexpensive and a nice spot to take a beer and watch the fish (& people) in the evening (but it can be very busy there). Jay provided us with snorkelling gear and advice where to use it.

A hidden gem on the South side of the island. Easy to reach by buss and the owner is super kind and relaxed!

Jay (the host) is awesome person! And his cat, Pinto, aswell. Jay welcomes you so that you can really feel like home. I had a private home with kitchen, bathroom, and basically my own garden. Garden is beautiful, Jay plants so many species. And takes care of abandoned sheep. And has chikens and roosters (they won’t wake you up, they’re a bit further). Jay let me borrow his kayak and helped me to carry it to beach (which is ~ 200 metres from the house). Jay has two more rooms, so not too many quests. Jay offered one guy a chance to sleep in a tent at rooftop for free, that would’ve been awesome for me aswell, but I already had the apartment. Thank you Jay for once more, let the good winds be with you! See you!

I really loved staying at this place, it was so lovely and Jay is the best host ever! He took care of me like of his own daughter and even gave me a bigger and a better room to what I initially booked. He also shared his dinner with me and was always offering more food etc. The location is very nice, in an authentic and very chill area. There is a bus stop nearby and you could reach almost everywhere by buses. I would definitely recommend this location rather than the super touristic area around Oranjestad. Wifi was really good which was important to me since I was working remotely. I felt safe walking back to the hotel in the dark as a solo female (my only concern were dogs).
