BlueHamlet - Enjoy today with the future in mind

A comfortable place to stay, a smaller ecological footprint, in harmony with the environment. The house is a small house with a spacious garden in a quiet neighborhood. We stay at our place for one and a half month every year. The furnish is simple but practical and tailored to a short stay on Aruba. With the layout and facilities of the house we strive for the smallest possible ecological footprint during your stay on Aruba. More info: www.bluehamlet.com The space New equipment and updated features! BBQ, oven / toaster, reading lamp, beach chairs, cooler, updated air conditioning, living room cooling with ventilation, television, improved WiFi and improved internet connection. A stay in peace and quiet, with plenty of living space. We have deliberately opted for a simple but functional arrangement. The spacious garden and quiet neighborhood gives a sea of tranquility. Various activities and beautiful beaches can be found in the immediate vicinity. In the garden and behind the garden there is a lot of small game, such as various species of lizards, geckos, a single iguana, trupials, parakeets and even hummingbirds. In order to realize the smallest possible ecological footprint during your stay, we have now made the following provisions: - Drain shower, sink and kitchen sink for the (below the surface) watering of the garden. - Covering the garden with a layer of recycled gravel. - Optimized dripping system for watering the plants. - Outdoor areas made of cement and sandy soil from the garden. - Electric cooking instead of gas. Electricity is being worked up locally and for an increasing share in a sustainable way. - New air conditioning with extra coating for extended lifetime. - Ventilation system for cooling the living room from the bedroom. - Two places with sunscreens for staying outside the house during the day. The house is in our possession since 2017 and we are therefore certainly not finished optimizing the house. The facilities we still want to realize are: - Warmwatervoorzieining door zonnewarmte, geplande realisatie eind 2020. - Solar panels, planned realization at the end of 2021. - New window frames with double glazing, planned realization in mid-2023. - Insulation on the outside of the house, planned realization in mid-2027. Your stay in our home contributes directly to the realization of these upgrades. In addition, we will support local projects and facilities in the area of sports and culture in Aruba with the proceeds from the lease. Guest access The house is in complete accessibility except for the storage room. Currently a small room is equipped as storage space. The room is not locked for safety reasons. We ask you not to enter this space without consultation. Other things to note The house has a limited number of towels (8 pieces), bath towels (6 pieces) and linen (3 sets) available. During your stay there is no service for cleaning and laundry. The laundry is located about 2.5 km from the house After your stay, the towels and bed linen are washed and the house cleaned. We ask you to do the dishes before departure.
