Check availability Sunwise insider tip About 10 minutes' drive away lies 1000 Steps, one of Bonaire's most charming snorkel and dive spots. Despite the name, there are actually only 67 steps that take you down to this idyllic little beach. The location is particularly popular with snorkelers and divers because of the beautiful coral reef that's directly accessible from the shore. The crystal-clear water and abundance of tropical fish make this an unforgettable underwater experience. The compact beach offers shaded spots under the trees, perfect for resting between snorkel sessions. Just so you know No supermarket in the immediate area – The nearest supermarket is 1.6 kilometers away, but with a rental car you'll be there in a few minutes and can stock up on groceries for several days Animal visitors – Occasionally curious birds, lizards, or a friendly goat might visit the garden, a true Bonairean experience that kids usually love No dryer – There's no dryer available, but thanks to Bonaire's constant sun and warm winds, your laundry will be bone dry on the line within hours Where you'll stay Please accept preferences-cookies to view this map. Casa Papaya Villa 2 1 4 The neighborhood Sur Salinja is a quiet residential neighborhood where you can experience the authentic Bonairean atmosphere. The area is characterized by local houses, friendly residents, and a relaxed ambiance that perfectly fits the island life. Here you live among the locals and experience the real Bonaire, while all important facilities and attractions remain easily accessible by rental car. Getting around Bonaire and especially the hotspots like Washington Slagbaai National Park, the remote pristine beaches, and the kitesurf and windsurf locations, are best enjoyed with a rental car, as our lovely Caribbean island has so much more to offer beyond the immediate surroundings of Casa Papaya. With your own car you can explore remote snorkel spots, dive sites and local restaurants at your own pace. We strongly recommend renting a car so you can get everywhere easily. Most roads on Bonaire are paved, but for nature areas like the park, a pickup truck or SUV is advisable. The park roads are unpaved and sometimes rough, making a regular car less suitable. There is no public transport on Bonaire and taxis are limited, especially on busy days when a cruise ship is in port. Guest reviews 9.5/10 17 reviews More info Casa Papaya – Perfect for us! Retired couple on our 3rd trip to Bonaire and we found Casa Papaya to be perfect for us. First of all Simon and Cecile were excellent communicators both before we arrived and while we were on the island - fast responding, kind and thorough! For the house, it was in a very quiet neighbourhood. The small plunge pool was great for an afternoon cool down. Location was close to everything. Lots of space (inside and out), lots of towels, comfortable beds, full sized refrigerator with freezer, AC in every room that worked really well. (We only ran it at night and the house stayed cool the entire day). The rinse tank was great and access to a clothes washer was an added bonus. Our only "niggly" bit (minor complaint) was there were no oven safe dishes (casseroles or bake pans) to do a quick one dish meal in the oven. Other than that it was perfect! Read more 27th Apr 2026 by Nancy Barnes via Casa Papaya – Kralendijk, Bonaire The hosts are great! Quick to respond and very cooperative. The house was quite comfortable and equipped with many amenities. What could become a downside over time is the maintenance and condition of the furnishings. The location is peaceful and offers plenty of privacy. The small park also feels like a safe, enclosed environment. You can easily find the livelier areas — just a 20-minute walk takes you right to the heart of the action. Read more 22nd Sep 2025 by Henk Pestman via Almost perfect Great location — quiet neighborhood and easily accessible. Nice shower and comfortable bed. We missed having curtains for a bit more coziness and privacy. A few more than two small coffee cups would have been convenient. Appreciated the attentive email communication with Sunwise. Tip: a booklet with instructions for the appliances and fans would be helpful.

The home was perfect for us and the kiddos, the pool was fantastic and the AC worked great at night to cool the home quickly. Pretty well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. Cold fridge, lots of freezer space, and the washer was a nice amenity. Thank you! Read more 6th Jun 2025 by Joshua Call via A+!
