My family and I started visiting the beautiful island of Bonaire in the 1980's as young kids with our mother. Back then there were only a few cars on the island and finding a variety of groceries wasn't an easy task. This island has most certainly changed but remains the raw and beautiful paradise that it is.

          It was in 2008 when my sister Rose and I returned to Bonaire after many years. We just fell in love with Bonaire all over as well as this property, which we purchased in 2009. We spent many summers here with our children and those memories remain as some of the best times of my life.

          It was October, 2018 that my sister Rose lost her battle to metastatic breast cancer,and the Villa was renamed in her honor. 

         Along with my husband Steven we continue to visit Bonaire any chance we get as we realize how precious life is.

Our hope is that people love and respect the island and the people as much as we do. It is a place of Cactus and Coral as well as a place that will give you a peace like no other.
