We are in a nice quiet section ideal location gives you a front row seat to spectacular sea views. It is only a 30 second stroll to the resort's salt-water pool. Enough to be close, but far enough for optimum peace and privacy. It's midway between the two separate sets of stairs leading down to the turquoise water, and just a few steps from a shady gazebo that's perfect for reading or napping. 

The 2nd floor suite master bedroom, expanded by 40% from the original footprint, opens onto a balcony with awning and that incrediable view  filled with fish, turtles, dolphins, coral and more. We had a Custom made Desk/Drawer combo installed, perfect if you want to use the area as a remote office, you can easily work from there. It is hard-wired for Internet and fast WIFI. Upgraded wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, along with screened & a new louvered kitchen entry (with electronic lock, no more keys) and side windows take full advantage of the constant trade winds that cool the west without compromising security.

There's everything you need for a perfect vacation: large fridge w/icemaker that is on steriods, microwaveairfryer combo, blender, toaster, 4-burner cooktop, flat-screen smart tv, on-demand hot water in kitchen and both showers, air conditioners (new) & ceiling fans upstairs and down, dining table & seating for 4 on both balcony and lanai, and that essential charcoal grill. Divers appreciate the extra rod and equipment hangers in the first-floor bath. Linens, towels and pool/beach towels are, of course, provided, and there's secure storage for your valuables. A contact person for any questions is available all day long.

We knew where we were going but when we arrived it totally exceeded our expectations. It is a magical experience in every sense; the location of the resort with a view directly of the sea and the nearby bays, the noise of the sea and the surrounding animals, the breeze. etc
We had a great experience especially because of how well equipped and maintained SANDY BOTTOMS 10b really gave us the best vacation. I recommend YES OR YES staying at Beth and Greg's house you will truly feel at home.

Highly recommended!

We just returned home from our wonderful stay at Sandy Bottoms! We had an amazing week here! The gated property made us feel safe, and the unit itself was clean and well equipped! We used the bbq grill every night for supper and had breakfast on the balcony every morning! The view was gorgeous and the water was crystal clear!

Highly recommended!

Just finished a 10 day stay at SandyBottoms. Great location! Greg and Beth were very attentive hosts with lots of useful tips. We are snorkelers, not divers. Every day we went to a different beach, each one more spectacular than the previous, all with great snorkeling off of the beach (BTW recommend buying this guide, it was great: https://www.tropicalsnorkeling.com/curacao-snorkeling/. Some photos of dinner views and beaches follow

Highly recommended!

We just spent 2 weeks (May 2024) at Sandy bottoms-10B. Our hosts asked us to send them any recommendations that might make the stay better and we couldn’t think of a single thing to suggest to them! Everything is exactly as the listing describes and the communication between us and the hosts could not have been better. They are readily available thru either text or e-mail to answer any and all questions or concerns. That was very comforting even though we did not have any concerns come up during our stay.
Of our 12 full days in Curacao, we only spent one day in Willemstad. All others were spent in the peaceful, beautiful oceanside areas near Westpunt. There were 3 great restaurants within easy walking distance (<10 mins?) from 10B. And another 2 a mile away which we enjoyed walking to as well because we a love walking! Very convenient either way.
We did 9 shore dives on our own at various sites nearby and enjoyed each one! Go West dive shop supplied our tanks, easy-peasy.
When we return to Curacao, we will definitely try to stay at Marazul and 10B will be our first choice!

 “This lovely property was exactly as described and fully met our expectations. Cheryl and David are great hosts and they provided us with a wealth of useful information prior to our arrival. The upstairs terrace makes for a very pleasant spot with awesome sea views for breakfast or lunch. There are several great restaurants nearby, but we also had everything we needed to cook at the house in the evenings after watching the beautiful sunsets. We kept a through breeze through the property when we were home as it got hot during the day. We found we only needed to use the upstairs fan and air conditioner to cool the bedroom in the late evening. Direct access to the sea from the property is important to us, so we enjoyed using the steps down to the water at each end of the resort. The saltwater pool is also very nice, and the cabana offers essential shade in the midday hours. We wanted to be at the quiet end of the island, and close to shore access for snorkeling. There are multiple beaches within 5-10 mins drive, and you can walk to Playa Forti or even swim over if you don’t want to get in the car. Just get in the water and you will see something new every day! We had a very enjoyable week and would choose to stay here again.”

“Treasure by the Sea was a great place to stay. The house has everything you need & a sunset view that makes you want to get back to Curacao as soon as you can. Dave & Cheryl are excellent hosts that ensured everything we needed was addressed & very accessible for advice on anything we wanted to do on the island. The house, the diving, and the laid back Westpunt vibe will have us returning here again and again.”

"Thank you so much to Cheryl and David for allowing us to discover their piece of paradise on this portion of Curaçao where beaches and nature abound. The apartment is great with beautiful sea views and sunset. For snorkeling lovers, it's a little treasure trove of color under the sea right next door. In short, a perfect stay that already makes us want to stay there!"

"While the word "paradise" is thrown around a lot, you will find it at Cheryl & David's place. It is located on the quieter, western side of the island, surrounded by some of the best beaches on Curaçao. The complex in which the apartment sits is well-maintained, with grills and gazebos for relaxing and eating, and it has its own private stairs down that lead directly into the stunning turquoise water. The apartment itself has everything you will need for a stay of any duration, and the view is incredible. Sitting out on the terrace and watching the sunset over the sea every night was such a wonderful experience, and the stars that follow don't disappoint either. And, Cheryl & David are the perfect hosts, providing a great deal of helpful information, being easily accessible, and responding promptly whenever you may wish to communicate with them. I would recommend this stay to anyone."

“Magnifique endroit!  Tres belle propriété avec une vue incroyable! Parfait pour les amoureux du snorkeling et de la plongée!”

 

Eric, May 2023 -- 5 Stars

"David & Cheryl were amazing hosts who shared tons of insights, ideas, tips for navigating the island affordably and efficiently, and recommendations for great experiences during our stay. The condo was well maintained, and all of the functionality/availability of amenities was spot on with the description. The ocean breeze was definitely strong most days and usually blew right through the home, which was helpful with the 85+ degree days and 80 degree nights... air conditioning was a nice back-up to have for a couple of the extra hot evenings. The kitchen was great for preparing meals at home in between visiting charming local restaurants. The condo was in a quiet and peaceful area at the northwestern tip of the island - nice for relaxing and having some privacy, though a bit challenging for exploring a variety of beaches and other sites in other parts of the island. Diving is probably great here, but snorkelers and sunbathers (like us) will enjoy beaches further south."

“Cheryl and David's place was a perfect base from which to explore Curacao's gorgeous western beaches (many within 5-15 minutes drive and a few you can walk to). The townhome is just as described, minimal, clean, and very comfortable--akin to a well-appointed cabin--and they are very responsive to any questions or issues. We loved having coffee and cocktails on the deck, befriending the local cat, and trying out a new snorkeling spot each day. A deeply relaxing, unforgettable vacation!”

“A house with an amazing view, especially on the upper terrace. Extremely well located near the best beaches and points of interest of the region. We fully recommend this place. Cheryl and David were really reactive and with a good communication.”

 

Sabrina, May 2022 -- 5 Stars

“My fiancé and I loved this Airbnb! It has the absolute perfect location for everything we wanted to do. Great place to eat and rent scuba gear just right next door. We especially loved scuba diving just off the back stairs at their house reef, it was one of our favorites to dive, it was gorgeous! Cheryl and David responded quickly to any questions we had. It was a pleasure staying here! We will be back!"

 

Cris, December 2022 -- 5 Stars

“Believe the hype! Unbelievable location, stunning ocean views and 1 minute walk away from the clearest Caribbean water and the greatest variety of fish and wildlife we’ve ever seen. Turtles and barracudas just yards from the steps, iguanas and frigate birds and tuna chasing schools of fish across the surface! The house is fantastic and superbly equipped, David and Cheryl are attentive and full of tips and information to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We cannot fault this house or the charming hosts in any way. Totally recommended.”
