This may be a bit odd question, so bear with me, please. While back during our trip to St. John we stayed at a small secluded bungalow overlooking ocean with its own kitchen, shower and toilet, easy access to secluded beach. Simply put we had the beach to ourselves lots of times, no noisy neighbours as this was a bit far from the town.
I am looking for something similar on Bonaire. We'll rent a car for the duration of our stay which gives us a freedom, now we need a place to stay. I looked at some places, like Kolibri, but it seems albeit very ice decor inside that it is in the town.
Any suggestions are really appreciated? thank you

Hi, Welcome to Bonaire. I can't say anything is like that here anymore. Big construction all over island. Best you could do is up north in the hills maybe, but there are other houses, just spread apart more. Best of luck in finding your vacation place.

There was a blue house on south side that used to fit the bill, but construction workers working on 4 homes next to it all the time presently.

thank you for the reply, I'll keep hoping to find something

i agree with debbie, there won't be a lot of choices on bonaire that would fit your needs. too much construction now. the blue house south of esmerelda might be the best you'll be able to find but, like she said, there is construction going on just a few feet to the north....there isn't much in the way of a sandy beach there and the front door is only about 20 feet from the road.

there might be a place or two in punt vierkant that will have some privacy but not a beach.

If quiet, sandy beach is on your list, look at Harbour Village Beach Club.

Bonaire is not the island of vast sandy beaches. Lots of places that overlook the water and that have a full kitchen.

Much of Bonaire is also not populated -- the national park to the north and, for all intents and purposes, most of the south end.

I have not been on island for about 11 months so I am unsure about current conditions. So I would confirm anything I am about to say with those who have been more recently.

There are many smaller hotels (i.e., the Carib Inn is on the water and about 10 rooms, HHH is not on the water and probably a tad larger, Casa Oleander is near the water and also smaller, etc.).

There are also many private homes available for rent -- some on the water and some in the hills. Some have pools.

There are three places that I think of as being more away: Carribean Club (is that the one by Oil Slick?), Kontiki and Sorobon (naturist).

thank you very much for the ideas, will keep checking them out

Actually thinking about this, your best bet may be Sorobon (www.sorobonbeachresort.com). Secluded you want, secluded you get, there.

Kontiki is pretty secluded, on the opposite side of the island from where all the tourists stay. They may even have a free-standing bungalow there. Try searching for their website on Google. There's also a small beach across the street but maybe not such good swimming. It's not far, however, from Lac Bay with beach, windsurfing and good snorkeling farther out near the reef.

I was going to suggest KonTiki also. They have studios, apartments, and a couple of homes they manage. They are away from town and its very quiet and peaceful there. They have great food too!

I was surfing the web, wishing I was in Bonaire, and found this unique place - Rancho San Minguel. It doesn't overlook the ocean, but sounds like it might be what you are looking for. Here is the link: http://www.outdoorbonaire.com/eco-accommodation.html

I agree with Cecil, SorobonBeach Resort. Nice and private. Greg

appreciate the help!
