We don't call it “the best vacation of your life.” We're not allowed to. The guests are the only ones who get to say that — and they have, often.
The guests who had seen it all, and chose us.
“By far the best experience I've had on Airbnb in my 13 years using the platform. Boy, Ray, and the entire Tommy Coconut family have completely reimagined what it means to be an Airbnb host.”
Carolyn used the platform for thirteen years. Then she met the family. Now she compares everything else to it.
“I have been in the hospitality industry for many years and this review cannot nearly describe how truly fabulous your experience will be with their attention to detail, caring/loving spirit and top-notch guest service. Their family and entire team are truly the best representation of what hospitality is.”
Jaime is in hospitality. She knows what the word means when the industry uses it. She says we're what it should be.
“This house and our hosts made our trip so much better than if we had stayed at a local resort/hotel.”
The resort existed. So did we. She chose.
The real treasure.
“The real treasure is the Tommy Coconut Family.”
Becky found it. Tommy spent fifteen years at sea looking for a different one.
“The entire Bongers family made us feel at home and treated us like lifelong friends. Curaçao is a beautiful paradise, but it's the people that truly make it special.”
Tracey chose us for her thirtieth anniversary. That means something.
“You don't book a vacation, you book a lifetime experience which sets new measures.”
"Sets new measures." She said that. We wouldn't have dared.
“We were greeted at the house with a beautiful sign announcing the rental was ours for our stay. Then we met Boy, who walked us through the house and showed us around, gave us coconut cocktails and wonderful hats to wear while at our stay.”
The hats are real. So is the sign. So is Boy.
“This is about Tommy Coconut, Ray, Kim, Boy, Raymonde, Britt, T-Cam and the rest of the Tommy Coconut extended family.”
Adrian named everyone. That's what happens when the team is the product.
They said it. We just made sure the rum was cold.
“I don't even have the words to describe the experience I had in Curaçao — it was truly the best vacation of my life.”
Yara said it. We just made sure the rum was cold.
“We have traveled the world and I can honestly say the Tommy Coconut EXPERIENCE is the most impressive I've ever had.”
Aubrey has seen a lot. She put us on top.
“We have travelled all over the world but we have never met such a hospitable host.”
Same story, different guest, same verdict.
“A truly spectacular stay — in fact, it was the best experience I have had in all my years of travel.”
“This may be the best Airbnb/Vacation home we've ever stayed at — truly a hidden gem.”
“This has been the best Airbnb experience ever. We come to Curaçao already for 8 years.”
Patricia has been coming to this island for eight years. She finally found the place.
“I travel a lot but Tommy Coconut surpasses everything I've seen so far.”
Translated from Dutch.
Not everyone writes a paragraph.
Some people come back from a week and they just say the one thing. These are those.
“If you are wondering where to stay on the Island, this is IT!”
“Cannot come up with enough good things to say about Tommy Coconut.”
“What a beautiful place and what a super reception. Highly recommended.”
“Lovely house, nice car, and super good contact with the hosts.”
“Top hospitality, best beds ever, good contact, top, thank you.”
“Had a super nice vacation. Everything super arranged and nice people.”
“We really enjoyed our one-month stay. Beautiful view of the harbor.”
“Awesome location, excellent communication from owners, beautiful view.”
“If we could, we would give 6 stars — or more.”
“The team at Tommy Coconut gave us a top vacation.”
“Our stay at Tommy Coconut was more than just a vacation.”
“What a TOP vacation we had at Tommy Coconut in Curaçao.”
They remember who showed up.
Ray. Kim. Boy. Britt. Raymonde. T-Cam. The guests use their names because the names are the product.
“Boy, Britt and Ray were amazing hosts. They communicate promptly with any of our requests and recommended some great restaurants to us. We've stayed at many VRBO's, but this was by far the best.”
“Ray, Kim, Boy and Britt were awesome. Such a great and friendly family. Very helpful with any questions we had and even made reservations at restaurants for us. The jeep was a great bonus and the sunset cruise was the best time.”
“Kim and Ray had really good communication and hospitality. I highly recommend staying at their place.”
“Staying with Kim & Ray and team is a stay like you've never experienced before. All amenities are available, the contact is quick, friendly and enthusiastic.”
“The extras you get with a 7-day stay make your time on the island an unforgettable experience. Feel confident in your decision staying with Boy, Britt and the rest of the crew.”
“Boy, Britt, Raymonde and T-Cam all want you to have fun and can recommend great places to eat, play and enjoy the Dushi life. We will be back.”
“Boy and Britt were very responsive anytime we had a question. They will also send you messages about possible events or places to visit or eat.”
“From the start till the end, Ray and the Tommy Coconut family is there for you. Masha danki!”
Gregory said masha danki. That's Papiamentu for thank you. He meant it that way.
They already booked the next one.
The Coconut Cartel isn't a loyalty program. It's a pattern — guests who went home, couldn't stop talking about it, and came back.
“I cannot say enough about Ray and the Tommy Coconut team. Someone is always available, everyone is so genuinely kind, helpful — we truly felt like extended family in the best way possible. They really do go above and beyond to ensure your time in Curaçao is perfect and we cannot wait to return.”
“The house, pool, jacuzzi was fully used, contact with the hosts was perfect, they were always available, gave good options for food and sights. The car was perfect — a real must if you go on an adventure on the island. Highly recommended, and we will be coming back.”
“There is so much I can say about Tommy Coconut — it was everything and more. The pictures didn't do any justice of the home. It exceeded our expectations. Definitely will visit again. Oh, let me not forget the all-electric brand new car we got to drive for a week. iCar.”
“The Tommy Coconut team was terrific. They made our first visit to Curaçao so easy. Very responsive to all inquiries, and the villa was super clean and lovely. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Our kids and us had an amazing time. The pool and hot tub were great. The sunset tour and dinner recommendations were great. Clean and felt like home — we will definitely be coming back.”
“This was our favorite vacation yet. Everyone was great, friendly, responsive and made our vacation so amazing. The house was beautiful and had amazing views. Our family enjoyed everything about it and we really enjoyed the sunset cruise with everyone. Thanks again and we can't wait to come back.”
Six separate families. Six separate weeks. Same sentence, six times: we're coming back.
The guests travel from everywhere.
Thunder Bay. Szczecin. Rio. Guayaquil. Voorschoten. They flew a long way. They wrote a long review.
“Absolutely incredible place. Everything was seamless and the hosts really put so much effort and thought into making our trip unforgettable. We will be back.”
“We had an amazing experience with the Tommy Coconut team. They were warm and welcoming and super responsive throughout our stay. The unique package they provide gives an all-inclusive feel with the freedom of more apartment-style living.”
“This was our first time in Curaçao and we had an amazing time. Boy and his team were always available to look after whatever we needed. The vehicle they supplied was a pleasure to drive and the location was convenient in so many ways.”
“We felt completely taken care of. The amenities available exceeded our highest expectations. Lots of options for spending time actively. A boat trip — full of smiles and wonderful memories. A wonderful home for relaxation. The Tommy Coconut team is very friendly and helpful.”
“We had a very pleasant stay in which especially the kindness, service and care by the Tommy Coconut family was very much appreciated. The coconut boat trip was fantastic. Villa Vis three minutes' walk was great. Being able to use the pick-up was ideal on the island.”
“Absolutely perfect. Don't think twice — this place and the whole Tommy Coconut experience are wonderful and unforgettable for families and friends. Enjoy creating special memories. Coconut family, thank you for everything.”
“We had a nice stay. The house is pleasant, clean and the beautiful birds and iguana in the garden are a bonus. The host responds quickly and is helpful. A technical issue was resolved very adequately.”
“Excellent location and cleanliness. They were there for us for everything we needed. Boy is an excellent host. They complied with everything offered in the listing. The best place to stay in Curaçao.”
Ecuador. Brazil. Poland. Canada. Five countries on this page alone. The island pulls a wider crowd than you'd think.

“Tommy Coconut is the ultimate experience when it comes to freedom and living the Ultra Dushi life.”
George used the word himself. Dushi. That's how we know the week landed.
You arrive as a stranger.
You leave as family.
