Vacation Rentals on Bonaire
About vacation rentals on Bonaire
Vacation rentals and villas are the perfect choice for longer stays on Bonaire, especially for families and groups. You get your own kitchen (essential with restaurant prices of $25-50 per person), often a private pool, and much more space than a hotel room. Most vacation homes are located in Sabadeco, Punt Vierkant, Santa Barbara, or near Kralendijk, all within 10-15 minutes drive from the best dive sites.
Prices and seasons
Expect to pay $150-400 per night for a vacation rental, depending on size and location. Villas with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms start around $205 per night. The average weekend rate is about $155, with prices starting from $89 per night for smaller properties. Tuesday is the cheapest day, Saturday the most expensive.
High season (December-March) brings the highest prices due to Dutch winter holidays. Book at least 3-4 months ahead for better rates. Last-minute deals are rare due to limited capacity on the island.
Locations and amenities
Popular areas include Sabadeco (quiet, family-friendly), Punt Vierkant (central, close to restaurants), and Santa Barbara (modern, often with ocean views). Most homes feature air conditioning, wifi, fully equipped kitchens, and private pools. Some villas also offer direct beach access.
A rental car is practically essential since no public transport exists. Most vacation rentals include private parking. Supermarkets like Van den Tweel and Warehouse are within 10 minutes drive from most locations.
Practical tips for your stay
Payment is entirely in US dollars since 2011. Dutch bank cards work at all ATMs, but credit cards are more convenient for smaller amounts. Many houses charge a tourist tax of 5-10% on top of the nightly rate.
Bring your own snorkel gear or rent locally. Most vacation rentals are 5-20 minutes from popular dive sites like 1000 Steps and Salt Pier. Groceries are more expensive than in the Netherlands, so having your own kitchen saves significant money during your stay.
