From the moment we arrived, Randy was there to greet and meet us at the airport. But a 7 minute ride to Solo cu Santo Villa, from the A/P, you arrive to an oasis of calm and serine beautiful outdoors and indoors tranquility. The apartment is beautifully and tastefully decorated and very comfortable and welcoming. Bob and Randy are not your average hosts, with a vast knowledge of the island and can answer every question you may have. They took us on many excursions around the island including the many fabulous beaches and Archeological sites of the Island’s National Park. Bob and Randy make you feel at home and welcoming from the start with personalized excursions and site seeing island. We cannot say enough about the outdoor entertaining area and pool. Gorgeous and tastefully decorated back yard with a separate dining area and bar! These guys leave you wanting for nothing and treat you like family. Larry and I cannot wait to go back and spend time with our new friends. Spectacularly gorgeous hosts and Island!

Review of our two weeks stay at Solo Cu Santo in early March 2023. Where do I Start. So so much to say. The studio apartment was exactly as described. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was very comfortable, and Randy and Bob provided everything that we possibly needed. Solo Cu Santo is truly a hidden gem.
The courtyard, the patio and pool area, the outdoor kitchen made this outdoor living experience truly unbelievable. We were first greeted at the airport by Randy and arrived at the apartment shortly after. From the first minute at the apartment, we were made to feel very welcomed and comfortable. It was as if we had known both Randy and Bob for a very long time. They were hands-down, the best host’s that we have ever had while on vacation. Bob and Randy literally know every inch of this island, along with its hidden treasures and shared all these locations with us on our daily trips. I also need to speak of the location of Solo Cu Santo. In my opinion, it is the best location to experience everything on the island with ease.
The beach and beach clubs, the downtown with all it’s shops and market’s, the numerous restaurants and coffee shops (Santos being our fav)are all within literally a couple to 10 minutes walk. This was truly a vacation that we will remember for a very very long time. The only regret that we have is that we did not stay longer. However, we will definitely return for a lengthy one in the near future.

As an Aruba native returning after 22 years I really appreciated this guest apartment, which was well appointed, secure and welcoming. Added benefits include a lovely little salt water pool, and, of course welcoming hosts.
Within short walking distance of downtown Oranjestad , Surfside and Réflexions beach, and several unique and reasonable local restaurants. I walked everywhere and Randy and Bob took me along on several excursions to beaches and scenic spots from my childhood, as do not drive also much appreciated. Stayed there for 2 x 8 day periods, during a month’s stay in Aruba and amenities much appreciated, for laundry and outdoor eating, as well as grocery / liquor store within short distances for meals not eaten out, in my case mostly breakfast with La great pod coffee machine to ease wake up time.

There can’t be enough words to be said about Solo cu Santo. You just have to experience it. The villa is gorgeous. Everything is perfect. The room is gigantic, well decorated and has everything to make your stay super comfortable. And Bob and Randy are probably the best hosts I have ever met. They gladly shared their house, the beautiful garden, the cozy terrace and the wonderful pool with me. We had great conversations, about everything and nothing.
I was lucky to spend a week there around Christmas 2018 and I hope to be able to come back many times!
Brad & Barry, CA
The Solo cu Santo Villa is just what we needed and can’t believe we found this gem of a place to rent.
We instantly felt welcomed, comfortable, and like we were home. The villa offers great privacy when wanted as well as comfortable shared areas such as an open living/dining area and a spectacular pool and lounge area.
We were fortunate to have had two weeks at the villa and spent much of our time lounging by and in the pool. This was our little slice of heaven in Aruba. We cannot say enough good things about this space. It was simply fabulous.
Speaking of fabulous, our hosts were wonderful. Very charming, welcoming, accommodating, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge as to what to see and do.
We are counting down the days until our next visit.

We have just finished a 2 week stay and couldn’t be more pleased. The studio apartment is everything you would want. The space is very generous, queen size bed is comfortable and there is plenty of storage room. The small kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom has a large walk in shower but we never used it as the outdoor one was even better. Access to a washer and BBQ gives you all of the amenities of home and certainly cuts down on the luggage you need to bring. The high speed internet is reliable and there are plenty of TV channels although we never used them! The location is second to none, it is in a residential neighbourhood that is walking distance to everything you would want.
The pool area is heavenly with the walled garden ensures total privacy from the neighbours. The entire property is kept immaculately with careful attention to details.
The hosts are fantastic- friendly, welcoming but completely non-intrusive. Both are a wealth of information of things to see and do.
Hope to be back again!

We highly recommend this rental for any vacation in Aruba! It truly is One Happy Island. We stayed there twice, using the studio apartment each time. We were more than satisfied with every aspect of our stays. We were met with warm hospitality, clean and spacious accommodations, easy access to local attractions and stores, and Randy and Bob were gracious enough to take us to many places around the island. The climate is perfect and the pool and lounge area was an especially appreciated feature with this home, which is very private and in a nice neighbourhood within easy walking distance of downtown Oranjestad and a nearby beach.
Sherryl and Richard, CA
Thank you so much Randy and Bob!
We found out about Solo cu Santo through our good friend Petra. Instead of paying several hundred dollars per night for a hotel in Aruba she directed us to this wonderful private home.
On our first night, we were graciously treated to a wonderful welcoming Indonesian meal by our hosts. Thank you so much. So nice after a long flight.
The studio apartment that we had has a fully equipped and functioning kitchen, private dining table and a cozy bedroom, all in one! The generously sized bathroom / shower is privately located juxtaposed.
It’s so nice to have the choice of eating out at a restaurant or grocery shop locally and barbecue (yes, a barbecue is available) or just make a sandwich.
Our studio apartment was totally private, but we were invited to use the main kitchen if needed, for guests,
The pool and the main lounging area was wonderful. I love the foliage surrounding this area. Randy and Bob were such relaxing and wonderful hosts. We spent many evenings in deep conversations, much as old friends. They were so accommodating and helpful in planning our days’ routes and events.
Very safe. No fear (…and I am notoriously cautious).
Thank you, Randy and Bob. (And Petra, Frank and Sebastian for locating this wonderful gem).
Book this. You’ll love it!!!
Steve, CA
This property was an excellent place to stay, very cozy, comfortable and clean. It is in a great location, 10 to 15 minute walk to all the shopping and a 10 min walk to the beach. The property has everything you need including a pool, outside shower and laundry. It is also air-conditioned but we never had to use it as the property has amazing crosswinds throughout the house. This location was very private with high privacy walls and several different sitting areas inside and out. Very enjoyable property at an affordable cost.
Linda and Brian, CA
Our trip to Aruba was so enjoyable and a good percentage of this was due to our great hosts Randy and Bob.
These guys couldn’t do enough to share the beauty of their island with us. Thank you so much for the many scenic rides, the beautiful meals you made us, the relaxing environment at your home, and sharing your deck and pool.
Our unit was so accommodating, clean and comfortable.
We feel now that we have two great friends in Aruba and would highly recommend their home and Airbnb unit as a wonderful alternative from staying at a resort.
Thanks again Randy and Bob.
Kevin, USA
The guest apartment far exceeded my expectations. I was a bit worried about the heat in Aruba, but the ventilation was so perfect that I never even turned on the air-conditioning. The apartment is quite private, opening onto exquisite public spaces. The pool and surrounding area are perfect. The general area is very quiet. The entire compound is of traditional Aruban design, probably built 50 or 60 years ago and reconstructed with a good eye to authenticity and understatement.
The best restaurant I found in Aruba is but a five minute walk from the apartment. A walk into the center of town takes about 10 minutes and is quite nice. I went to Aruba to get some writing done. The apartment has ample workspace and fast Wi-Fi.
Hosts Randy and Bob are extremely hospitable! They like to share what they know is the best of the island.
Finally….it’s the bargain of the century!!

We stayed with Randy and Bob in the studio apartment for the first two weeks of February, 2020. Randy and I were running buddies in high school 45 years ago, but hadn’t really seen each other since; it was this connection that led us to Solo cu Santo. What they did for us, however, they do for any guests. First, Randy met us at the airport for the short drive to the house, where he and Bob gave us a lovely supper, with wine. The next morning they took us grocery shopping, then pointed us to Nikki/Surfside Beach, which is a 15 minute walk straight down the street that passes by their lane. Tip: once you walk through the Tourist Plaza, the Surfside Beach Bar is a one minute walk to the left on the sand; great fries and smoothies! They also showed us how to get to the downtown centre, which is only a 15 minute walk in a different direction.
Another day they dropped us off at Eagle Beach in the morning and picked us up at an agreed upon time. They also drove us around to see the sights, and spent days on Baby Beach with us. Randy likes to get up early and hike to do sunrise photography; we joined him a couple of times so were able to see the caves in the National Park, Spanish Lagoon, and Conchi Natural Pool before anyone else arrived. They were willing to take us anywhere we wanted to go, but we never had to ask as they offered to take us places we never would have found on our own – they explained that driving around looking at the island is what they like to do anyway, and sharing that with their guests makes it all the nicer for them; they also know all the best places to eat! We lucked in being there during Carnival, for which Randy was an official photographer; again they knew where to go to find good parking and to watch; mind you the main Oranjestad parades go down the street 50m from their house!
The studio is spacious, well-equipped, comfortable, and private; the bathroom is large and up-to-date. Guests have use of the barbecue, the pool is shared, and we spent most evenings in the outdoor shared covered seating area with our hosts. Although we have a personal connection through Randy, they are both such friendly and welcoming people that anyone could feel comfortable sharing the space with them – we learned so much about Aruba during evening chats, though sometimes we all just sat with books and devices in companionable quiet.
We give this trip top marks!
Todd and Karen, CA
I don’t even know how to properly put into words our experience in Aruba, and specifically staying at Solo cu Santo, other than to say that everything was spectacular! The studio apartment is spacious and tastefully decorated, but in all honesty, we spent very little time in it, essentially only to sleep and have the odd meal. The rest of our time was spent either on the deck or in the pool with our hosts, or travelling the island, again with Randy and/or Bob. We were prepared to find our way around, but Randy and Bob were more than gracious in offering to bring us anywhere around the island…they were the ultimate tour guides and hosts! We saw so many amazing places thanks to them, which absolutely made this a trip to remember! They even got me to a chiropractor when I threw my back out on day 3, but that’s another story. Randy and Bob made suggestions to us for things to do, but they were not intrusive in any way…they genuinely love to travel the island, and share its beauty with their guests. Simply put, we highly recommend Solo cu Santo, for the quality of the accommodations, yes, but more specifically for the quality of the hosts! Biba Dushi!
Don and Tom, CA
Delightfully restful two weeks, quiet comfortable home like setting ,dip into the pool if you feel like
it, or sit, relax and read. Bob and Randy, Wonderful hosts, toured us all around to see Aruba’s sights and sounds
and old landmarks, along with the goats and donkeys, that make up the landscape. Interesting places to dine
near the cruise ships or inland for pizza, and occasionally dinner together in their quarters, all good.
This is an easy relaxing place to stay, and with that “we’ve been friends forever” feeling… Very enjoyable.
Being picked up at the airport eased the arrival and departure and a nice touch with a complimentary dinner on arrival.
Thank-you both !
Tim and Chris, Ireland
Randy and Bob are the most gracious and considerate hosts that you could hope to have! The property is beautiful and well-maintained, within easy walking distance of many restaurants and other local amenities, as well as the beach. Our room was spacious, well appointed, and contained everything that we could need during our 17-night stay. With the global Covid pandemic in progress, Randy and Bob provide a safe space and always adhere to local regulations to keep their guests safe. We highly recommend Solo cu Santo, and would stay here again without hesitation. We look forward to booking again when we’re next in Aruba!
James W, USA
Solo cu Santo, is a home-away-from-home. I had the most pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable vacation at Randy’s and Bob’s home. They are the most welcoming and accommodating hosts. The home is exactly as described and pictured plus more. It is a very peaceful environment. Randy and Bob set a very high standard of hospitability. I would very strongly recommend this listing and definitely hope to stay there again in the near future.
Marc and Johan, Netherlands
Fantastic guys and great hosts! We enjoyed our stay with them very much. The atmosphere and hospitality were fantastic. They have great knowledge of the island and Randy took us to great and beautiful spots. We highly recommend them and their venue. Greets Johan and Marc.
Rod and Ben, Florida, USA
Exactly what we were looking for. What a wonderful time we had during our stay at Solo cu Santo in Aruba. Perfect location, beautiful accommodations, amazing hosts! This should say it all; we booked our next visit before leaving. Thanks, Randy and Bob, for everything; we appreciate it. We are looking forward to our next visit and several more.
