Great Stay at Sea Star
Just returned from our latest trip to Bonaire. While not new to the island, this was our first time staying at Sea Star in Playa Lechi. Everything was excellent. The apartment was just as pictured. It was clean, comfortable, extremely well equiped, and had a wonderful view and patio. Vera was so easy to work with. Responsive, great communications, and there for anything we needed. She met us at the property at the start and the end of our trip. When we needed some help on a Sunday night she was there for us within 10 minutes. Couldn't be more pleased. Thanks for a wonderful trip. Look forward to seeing you again on our next trip to Bonaire.

Great view, comfy digs.
The condo was clean and ready upon our arrival. We came with a car rental so the agent met us in the parking lot. We were checked in efficiently. The view from the balcony is wonderful: frigate birds and the occasional pelican, bananaquits, sailboats, cruise ships, snorkelers, Klein Bonaire, and the evening sunset. The furniture is comfortable. The kitchen is exceptionally well appointed in our experience; the quality of the pots and pans, for example, is very good. Rentals often forego essentials such as dish soap, paper towels, and trash bags, forcing the renters to purchase these things. Not so here. Both bedrooms have air-conditioning for sleeping comfortably. Regarding some of the reviews on this site: some say it’s noisy. In our view, not very. Certainly there was no noise that kept us awake. You will hear the occasional dog barking during the day and truck rumbling by if you have the back windows open, but since you live in the front of the condo facing the water, the only real noise is the wind, the birds, and occasional voices from people strolling by. A second somewhat common comment concerns the lack of security in the parking lot. In our experience, the gate was open during the day and always shut at night. We had a remote for the times when the gate was closed. Access to the buildings is through a keyed gate. We have stayed in a lot of places in multiple countries. Vera may be the best rental agent we’ve ever worked with. All in all, an easy five stars!

Excellent views from the large balcony and living room. The apartment is very well equipped and inviting. Spacious and clean. Facing the ocean, in no time you're swimming or spotting the rich underwater life. At walking distance from some nice restaurants at the centre of Kralendijk.

Excellent Waterfront location with view of Klien Bonaire
The location was awesome. We appreciated the large deck and excellent view. The apartment was well equipped with private parking. The "secured parking" was not so secure as the gate was open the entire time we were there. You can swim/snorkel directly in front of the unit. It is an easy flat walk to the downtown area which is nice as parking can be difficult downtown. We were surprised about how much noise you can hear from the unit. You have to have the deck doors open for the breeze but many motorcycles, cars, and quads "cruise" the streets both in front of and behind the building. Many of them are loud by design and this goes on very late into the night. Then later into our stay a firework stand opened right next to the complex. This added loud fireworks that went on all night long and we weren't even there for New Year's Eve! Overall and great stay, I just wished we were made aware of the noise levels in advance.

Exceptional experience
We loved our time in Bonaire. This property was clean, spacious and the views were amazing. We had plenty of room for our family of 4 including two teens. We swam in the ocean right across the street. We enjoyed the pool. We used this as a base and windsurfed at Lac bay every day. We walked into town to restaurants for dinner. Superb location. The kitchen is well stocked. There is a good supply of towels. The beds are v comfortable.

As pictured
The pictures from the balcony do not lie. The view is the big wow. The unit is lovely and spacious and well-equipped. I concur with what others have noted in that the noise from the street is a negative. On the other hand, it is a short walk to town. Snorkelling off the dock in front of Playa Lechi is fantastic; swim down to the rock piling about 1/4 mile north if you want an even bigger wow.

Great location
I think anyone would love this property. Perfect view, perfect location smack in the middle of the island. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda and watching all the boat traffic coming and going. View of Klein Bonarie's south end is great. Snorkeling around the boats in the harbor, while not much reef, still a lot of fish and other creatures to observe. We did have a minor plumbing issue during our stay, but will be corrected before the next renter's stay. It was such that it could not be corrected without water disruption, so we felt easy to live with until we left. The owners are great, easy to communicate with and very responsive to inquiries and issues, as is Sunbelt realty. Highly recommend you stay here, couldn't imagine staying anywhere else on the island. Enjoy Bonaire!

Playa Lechi
We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay at Playa Lechi while on Bonaire, diving. As others have noted, the waterfront location offers incredible sea views from the spacious third floor balcony. We found the online photos and descriptions of this unit accurate. Communication with the owners and their realty company was excellent, and they both made us feel welcomed. This property’s high ratings are well deserved.

A great experience
We booked the apartment for an intended Easter holiday. Due to Covid-19 we had to cancel several times and rebook, even after having paid part of the rental contract. In every instance Tom and Gigi were very accommodating and quickly ensured that we were fully reimbursed for the payments. The trip finally took place in July 2020. The flat was perfect for us - close to the centre of Kralendijk, well-equipped and of a great standard. We will definitely be happy to rent from Tom & Gigi again (sooner rather than later :)).

Super in every way
Gigi and Tom offer a 5 star accommodation for a visit to Bonaire. The location is perfect for walking to downtown shopping and restaurants as well as to a local dive shop. Every day presents a gorgeous view of the ocean and memorable sunsets. The large lanai allows for lounging, visiting or dining. The condo is well equipped with many towels and sheets, and weekly cleaning service takes care of everything. For dining in, the kitchen lacks for nothing. I look forward to future stays in this lovely condominium.

Awesome condo in Bonaire
Playa Lechi 12 is a beautiful condo! Ocean views and beautiful sunsets. The condo is in walking distance of most restaurants. The bedrooms are spacious and the master bathroom is really nice. The kitchen has all you need to cook a great meal. It’s also nice to have a washer to use. You can sit on the lanai and enjoy the views of the sailboats. Snorkeling and diving is possible right across the street! I wood recommend this condo and would love to stay here again. Tom and Gigi were quick to respond with answers to questions we had. Best vacation we’ve had this year!

Great location! Great property!
The owner was very easy to communicate with via email and text messages. The property was in a perfect location for us and the unit was exactly as advertised. We loved Bonaire and are planning a return visit soon. Having only one set of keys was somewhat inconvenient for a group of 4. Two sets of keys would have been much easier. The condo was a nice size. Big rooms. Nice bathrooms. We spent most of our time on the balcony, enjoying the view and breeze. I gave the cleanliness 4 stars only because the elevator and walk ways were only cleaned once while we were there. Definitely 5 stars when we arrived.

Property location, readiness, and artival information are all highly recommendable. I so appreciate AB Car Rental for the airport pick up, then after fetching my car, the same driver led me to the property n made sure I got in ok. However, it cracks me up that local law requires renter not to locked the car at all time. :-) I wanted my solitude n tranquility, and I got it all during my stay in Playa Lechi 12. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place n island, Gigi.

Just great - for diving, cooking and relaxing!
We spent 2 1/2 weeks here in April. This was our third visit to Bonaire, each time staying a 2-3 weeks. This is the best place we've stayed. The location is great, with Dive Friends Yellow Submarine a few steps away, good diving right out front, downtown/shops within easy walking distance and the Van Den Tweel grocery less than 10 minutes away by car. The condo is immaculate and well-provisioned. It is clear that Gigi and Tom spend time here: It shows in the many comfortable touches and quality of furnishings in the house. The appliances are good, the pans are cook-worthy (a mixture of Cuisinart lines) and almost any cooking utensil you could want is close at hand. The condo is very spacious, especially the lanai. Although it was just the two of us, I can envision two couples staying here quite comfortably. Wifi was good. We felt very safe here. The only issue was noise: barking dogs, which you just can't avoid when staying in town, and a fussy 2 year old happened to be staying next door, which is just luck of the draw. For sleeping, most noise could be blocked by closing the windows and running the air conditioner and fan. I'd say we've found our go-to place for future visits! You won't be disappointed by Gigi and Tom's lovely home.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!
We stayed at Playa Lechi 12 for the first week of October. The condo was wonderful with all the comforts of home and well appointed. The keys were provided to us at the airport by Sunbelt Realty and their service was seamless. The location is very close to town and we were able to explore the whole island a number of times with a rental car. We especially enjoyed the large patio to enjoy the warm evenings. Thank you to Gigi and Tom for offering such a great location!

Nice location! But a few parts could use some TLC
It bothered us that the dive tank was being used to wash out paint cans the maintenance crew was using. I wouldn't rinse my dive or snorkel equipment or wetsuits in there; there were paint chips in the basin and paint brushes and empty paint cans on the side. Not a place to rinse your regulator! There was unnecessary construction debris left around that was unpleasant to look at, day in and day out. The whole lock-in lock out key situation was tedious. It was a chore to just snorkel out front. Sunbelt originally gave us just 1 set of keys which made coordination difficult. We had to ask and then drive over to get a second set of keys. The master bath grout needs a real good scrubbing. It looks dirty and could get moldy real quick. The kitchen was nicely stocked but there weren't enough garbage bags. We also had to disinfect the actual garbage can as it really stunk! At first we thought the smell was coming from our trash but it wasn't. Putting a plastic bag over a smelly garbage can....well we figured it out. Overall, the place was clean, the beds were comfortable, the views fantastic. Furniture very comfortable, wifi great, nice TV. Great library of books especially on reef life and diving. Overall, the unit was clean and pleasant. Water was gorgeous and location central. Road noise was mostly tolerable but I was surprised by how loud it could be at times.
