Happy Turtle Villa 2 2.5 4 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 Happy Turtle. 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 10/10 8 reviews More info 10/10 Beautiful location, close to many dive spots. Margot was amazing. Will be back! Read more 9th Jul 2026 by Tracy Alexander via 8/10 Well-maintained house with a beautiful view and in a quiet neighborhood Read more 18th Apr 2026 by Eric Jan via 10/10 My husband and I spent 2 weeks here. This is probably our 12th time on Bonaire. This is by far our favorite place. absolutely loved having a screened in porch. It was so pleasant while we were there we slept with the windows open every night. The place was immaculate and the kitchen well stocked. Had one little issue with the shower and Margot was super quick to come and take care of it. The beds were very comfortable. The only negative thing is it is two twin beds put together in both bedrooms. Wasn't a big fan of the Gap between the two beds. There was not an iron or ironing board as listed but there were hair dryers which were not listed. Will not hesitate to stay here again. Pelican Pizza which is on the property is very good and walkable. Loved having washer and dryer and being so close to the northern dive sites. Nice having your own rinse, tanks and lockable dive storage. The area is very quite and peaceful. You do need a car if you stay here. Read more 1st Apr 2026 by Karen Shows via 10/10 Great stay at Happy Turtle Villa, we would definitely consider staying there again. The place was immaculate inside and out, from the main room, to the bedrooms and bathrooms, everything was in excellent condition. Margot met us at the villa for check in and explained everything to us and gave us tips on things to do. We used the scuba gear rinse tank and lockable dive closet every day. The dive closet included multiple hooks and racks, plus a closet rod with BC and wetsuit hangers and a floor drain, so convenient. Great location about 10 minutes from town on paved roads, very quiet at night, with a great pizza place within walking distance.

The kitchen had everything we needed and the ac worked well. It was great to have a washer and dryer and a pool so close. It really felt like home and we were sad to leave. Sunwise was quick to respond to any questions and even bought us 4 beach chairs which was greatly appreciated. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Read more 11th Feb 2026 by Marilyn Turner via 10/10 A beautiful house, comfortable, clean, and in a wonderful, peaceful setting. Something didn't quite go smoothly with our Airbnb booking. But Elyse's quick and friendly responses quickly alleviated our stress, and she resolved it perfectly for us. Upon arrival, we immediately felt at home thanks to Christiaan's warm welcome; drinks were even already in the fridge! We could ask Elyse and Christiaan anything, and they responded very quickly via the app! Thank you, Elyse and Christiaan from sunwise, for this wonderful holiday! Read more 1st Jan 2026 by Harm Ebbens via The Happy Turtle The Happy Turtle is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us…(the second bed and bath on the opposite side of the house would be great for another couple or a friend.) The refurbishment they did last December is about as close to flawless as I could imagine. Very tasteful, comfortable. Kudos to whoever was in charge of all of that. We cooked many meals in the well equipped kitchen. The fans and A/C allowed for ideal temperature control. Although we spent the majority of our time in the huge screened in deck/porch. Completely bug free….with a steady breeze, the rustle of the palms and the view of the sea. Most of all we loved the quiet location. Outside of town with easy access to Oil Slick Leap, Tolo, 1,000 Steps and Karpata. Everyone at Sunrise Bonaire was fantastic to work with. Communication and arrangements were easy breezy. We only look forward to coming back. Read more 21st Dec 2025 by Steven Gorecki via Happy Turtle We had a great time at the apartment!! It had great space, was comfortable and well equipped. Very peaceful location, with a wonderful view of the ocean.
