Best Beachfront Location. Spectacular ocean view. Luxury accommodations.

'Surface Interval' - the term divers use to refer to the period between dives - is the name we have chosen for our 2 bedroom luxury beachfront condo. The underwater experiences that you will have in Bonaire will be amazing and we want to be sure that when you come out of the water the great times continue. We chose everything about our vacation home, from location and furnishings, to electronics and amenities, with an eye to providing the most relaxing and enjoyable time possible.

Surface Interval is on the second floor of Bellevue, a 10 unit luxury beachfront condo located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Belnem. Here you will enjoy peace and quiet as well as easy access to the best that Bonaire has to offer. The town of Kralendijk, where you will find wonderful restaurants and shops, is only a few minutes away. Belnem is central to many of the best dive and snorkel sites and is a short drive to the kite-boarding beach and the windsurfing bay. There is a PADI dive shop directly across the street where you can get your tanks, rent gear, take courses or even arrange for guided shore dives. Because Bellevue is located on the leeward side of the island, the water is almost always calm on your private beach. Stroll across the soft sand straight into the sparkling, warm, clear, water for a swim or a snorkel. Imagine grabbing your dive gear from the poolside dive locker and taking a short swim out to one of the finest reefs in the Caribbean. Have breakfast on your terrace, overlooking the pool and the beach, and watch for dolphins that sometimes swim by over the reef. Enjoy dinner while you watch a spectacular sunset, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the “green flash”.

There are 2 bedrooms in Surface Interval, each with ensuite bathroom. Both bedrooms have queen size beds which were custom made to allow for twin size beds to slide underneath. All 4 beds feature top quality mattresses. We generally have 2 to 4 guests at a time but the entire apartment is equipped to accommodate 6 people for those special situations such as children sleeping in the room with their parents. Amenities in both bedrooms include air-conditioning, ceiling fans, built-in closets, dressers, night-stands, flat screen televisions, DVD players, wireless high speed internet, alarm clocks, and hotel safes. The master bedroom has cable and DVD while the guest bedroom has DVD only.

The living area has an open design with the kitchen, dining room, and living room all having a view of the Caribbean. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cook your meals at home including oven with ceramic cook-top, refrigerator/freezer with ice and water dispenser on the door, granite countertops, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, blender, electric tea kettle, and mixer. The dining room has a teak table with seating for 6. The living room has an air-conditioner, ceiling fan, cushioned teak seating, flat screen television with cable, DVD player, portable Bose iPod docking station, wireless high speed internet, iPad, and a prepaid cell phone. There is a collection of books and DVDs and a set of fish, coral, and reef creature identification manuals. All doors and windows throughout the house have screens to allow you to enjoy the breezes.

Living on the second story is great for the view and for privacy. It also affords an extra level of security. Access is by stairs or elevator. You will find an electronic combination safe in each bedroom closet that is large enough to hold your laptops, cameras, passports, jewelry, wallets, and cell phones.

The view from the terrace is truly breathtaking. You will have an unobstructed view of the beach, the pool, the Caribbean sea, the island of Klein Bonaire, the mountains on the north end of Bonaire, the town of Kralendijk, and the sun setting over the sea. The furnishings include 2 cushioned teak recliners with foot stools, 2 cushioned teak lounge chairs, a teak dining table for four, a drying rack for towels and swimsuits, a ceiling fan, and lighting.

The island of Bonaire has so much to offer including consistently gorgeous weather, peace and quiet, friendly people, relaxed waterfront restaurants, kite-boarding, world-class windsurfing, the best diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean, and the best shore diving in the world. We think that there is no better place than Surface Interval from which to enjoy all this. Give it a try and we think you’ll agree.

Really fantastic apartment
We had an excellent time. The property was very nice, close to our favorite dive sites. The property owners gave us a detailed list of any information we needed and gave us some suggestions for rentals, diving and restaurants. Could not recommend enough! The only tiny issue is theres limited parking so if other apartments have multiple car rentals you may not have parking. Small potatoes though.

Great place to relax in total comfort!
This is a fabulous property located right on the water of the bay with stairs and a small sandy beach for great access to the ocean. There are private homes on both sides, so very private for ocean play without a large resort next door. Fabulous snorkeling/diving. (We went snorkeling 2 times a day for the 2 weeks we were there and saw new things every time.) 2nd floor location meant very few steps (there is a small elevator as well for load in). The balcony is on the NW corner of the complex so the trade winds create a lovely breeze, but not full on wind when on the balcony and it's the perfect spot to watch the sunset every night. (We spent many hours on the balcony.) The complex is on a busy road out front, so there is road noise in the front bedroom during the day, but the master (middle) bedroom is quiet - especially with the air conditioner on/windows closed for sleeping. Great and easy communication with the owner and property management company. Both were very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. We highly recommend! The place is better in person than the pictures - and the pictures are pretty darn good. We stayed 2 weeks and after one week the property management sent in a cleaning crew to vacuum, mop floors, clean bathrooms-which we did not expect and really appreciated! 100% recommend!

Fantastic location, good accommodations
The location can’t be beat. The little private beach is lovely. We saw an octopus while snorkeling just off the beach. The condo has everything you need just a bit run down. The dive center is no longer across the street it moved to the Bloozz resort down the street, just about 100 yards away. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Week in Bonaire with family
Absolutely wonderful place to stay in Bonaire. Clean, everything and much more as was advertised! There are many added bonuses we found on arrival such as coolers to utilize, pool toys and extra beach towels available. Every detail was thought of and answered. Thank you for sharing the best in Bonaire with our family. Will definitely be repeating customers if ever back in Bonaire. Great location, wonderful layout and easy to find/parking available for rental.

Bruce's place is perfect. The kitchen has EVERYTHNG you need, the beds are super comfortable, plenty of comfortable seating areas and tables, and you look right there at the sunsets each night. Having owned a place in Bonaire for 17 years and knowing the island well, and places to stay, Bruce's place is one of the best...you can't go wrong. I'll be booking again. Thanks Bruce for making your place simply perfect!

Nice views, lovely sunsets
We stayed here in Feb, the condo was easy to get into, lovely space, lots of room. Felt very safe and secure. We had a little issue with the Wi-Fi, but our fault we did not know the 9 looks like g in Bonaire. The grill on the balcony would not work, we informed the manager right away, on Monday morning, they are closed weekends, they showed up to look at it late Thursday. Could not be fixed right away. We did have a nice time, the room was spacious and comfortable. Air conditioners in bedrooms a big plus. The balcony was awesome for sunsets and coffee in the mornings. Nice touch a big drying rack for swimsuits on balcony. Notes, we could have used more information about the lockers, and rules, the flyer we got on table was only printed on one side, when we went to manager office, they gave us another one with info for the scuba locker on the backside of flyer. We did not get communication of check out time,until that morning. Beware the scuba locker is a shared locker, not the owners fault, but someone stole my dive booties the morning of a paid dive on the Wild Side, very inconvenient, they did show back up the next morning. Owner was responsive to any and all questions I had before arrival.

Beautiful Bonaire stay
We loved our condo! It was close to everything, and had lovely interior with beautiful view. We loved the small pool and the small private beach which was steps away from the water. The condo was stocked with everything we needed (minus the food of course) to cook and make you comfortable. Bruce was great to work with as well.

Another Great Stay!
This is our third stay at “Surface Interval” and it works out well for our family of four adult divers. The condo is as described and conveniently located to the south diving sites. We particularly enjoy being able to dive off the beach at the property. The owner is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to returning !

The condo is well located to beaches, grocery stores, and airport. The condo was very clean and well maintained; everything in perfect working order. Although not high luxury, the condo was just what we needed. We didn't need Bruce's help much, but he was very responsive the one time we did contact him while there. We definitely would stay there again and feel it was a great value.

Amazing 2 week stay
This is an amazing property. It was our second time in Bonaire, and we knew where to look to stay that better suited our needs. The location is perfect. Right across the street from a dive shop, right by the road that took you directly to Sorobon, close to kite beach without the hassle of downtown and did I mention it is right on the beach? The kitchen amenities were top-notch. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the electric grill on the patio many nights while we ate dinner, enjoyed the evening breeze, and listened to the waves come in. The bathrooms were large and beautiful. I even appreciated the scale provided in the master bathroom. This helped us pack up our luggage and gear to ensure it came within our weight limits for the airport (which we didn't have last year). There was a hair dryer that was high quality in each bathroom as well. I thought both beds were nice and comfy. My husband has a bad back and complains about all beds. He found the trundle in the master bedroom to his liking after testing out all of his options. Most nights after dinner we were pretty exhausted from all of our activities. It was nice to be able to relax in a comfortable spot and watch some Netflix when we wanted, read comfortably on the furniture, or talk. We went snorkeling right from the property and saw a lot of fish! Our favorite place to snorkel was salt pier as we saw at least a dozen turtles altogether. We also enjoyed going to the local beach down the road where there is a nice food truck. The snorkeling there is top-notch as well. We panicked one night about where to park as all the parking spots were taken at the property and we messaged the property manager. They responded in seconds that it was ok to park across the street as long as we didn't block the dive shops entrance. If you are looking for your next stay in Bonaire, this is the place!

Beautiful condo and location can't be beat
This condo is sparkling clean with everything in great working order. It's great to not have to worry about anything needing maintenance during your stay and just relax! We loved the large showers and spacious bathrooms, the layout of the living/dining/kitchen area and of course the huge balcony. We spent most of our time on the balcony and used the provided grill one evening for dinner. There were more than enough pillows (really nice ones), linens and lots of towels. The kitchen had great pots, pans and dishes and we couldn't have asked for more in a rental! There was even a drawer with lots of spices, which came in more than handy. The pool area was kept immaculate and was small but very nice and the ocean just below was gorgeous. We had a really nice stay and would absolutely rent from Bruce again who was the consummate host. Thanks, Bruce!

This property was perfect t for 3 family members ..all adults. The little pool was great for a quick dip while enjoying some sun in between dives. Plenty of towels apartment was spotless on arrival. The only suggestions to making this perfect.. better pillows...which I can pack but forgot and use a code versul lock to the outside gates to get to pool area. We were coordinating to make sure someone was available for a handoff. But really, this was an awesome spot and the reef was easy to reach is you wanted a quick dive from the property.

Great place for us!
This was our 8th trip to Bonaire. This is a top place to stay! We loved the info Supplied by owner. We had everything we needed there and then some! Having the tank rental across the street was a great time saver! You can’t beat the sunsets off of the balcony! The only complaint I can come up with is you hear a lot of road noise inside the condo. But we spent most of the time on the balcony and didn’t hear much of it there. The sound of the waves on the beach is VERY relaxing!

I have travelled a lot, and this is without a question the best stocked, most comfortable and thoughtfully designed place I’ve ever been. Bruce is outstanding as a host, and the location is phenomenal. While there is some noise from the road, that’s the price you pay for being right on the water, and with a beach nonetheless.

Surface Interval (Bellevue 4) is an absolutely perfect place to stay. The apartment is located close to town, the airport, salt flats, dive shops, and more. The owners, Bruce and Jean, were super helpful in planning our trip. They had wonderful recommendations for dive sites, restaurants, and activities. They were quick with responses to questions and their apartment is incredibly well-equipped. The realty company met us at the airport and gave us the keys. The view from the porch is spectacular. We enjoyed coffee there in the morning and cocktails in the evening as the sun went down. I cannot say enough good things about this place, its owners, and the realty company. It’s the best!
