This condo felt like home. It was roomy, well decorated and right on the beautiful water. Jemma arrived to greet us and gave us all the information we needed for a wonderful stay. Ray (the owner) was on the premise and helped us with whatever we needed. The courtyard and patio were a nice place to relax....and relax we did! Will def come back to Ocean 105. Thanks guys for a perfect few nights.

Ocean 105 was a very nice place to stay. Very clean, bright, nice furnishings and amenities. The best view and right next to a beach with awesome snorkeling. We saw 3 starfish on the bottom there. Raymond is the owner and Albert the host both were very nice and hospitable. I think "The most intersting man in the world" dos Equis guy was modeled after Raymond. He was definately interesting and very charming. Love the accent. Anyway, great place to stay. Needs outlets in the bathrooms.

My first trip to Aruba will be that indeed, a first. Of many.
Ocean 105 was perfect for us, the service was impeccable, the rooms were spacious, clean well appointed and suited very nicely for a traveler. the Kitchen came with everything we needed for appliances, dishes, etc, etc. The location of the building was right at Malmok beach, one of the premier snorkeling and beach spots on the island. There was nothing at all that we didn't like about our stay on the island or our stay at Ocean 105. It was a bit of a magical week, and staying where we did made everything flow very nicely. Hotels are not the way to experience Aruba, private residences are. Ocean 105 is a prime example of the best way to stay when on vacation.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying for a week at Ocean 105 and enjoyed it very much. The private residence and apartments are located in the Malmok residential area directly on the ocean in the Northwest corner of the island within walking distance of the California Lighthouse (a must visit).
We were welcomed upon arrival and were pleasantly surprised that they upgraded us to one of the two bedroom units on the second floor. These units (there are 2) have a magnificant view of the Carribean to the West. We had beautiful sunsets every night and a couple of early morning rainbows. Raymond, who owns the residence was always asking how things were and was very committed to making our stay wonderful. The Aruba Happy Rentals team was also there whenever we needed them as well.
The rooms are very clean and stocked rather nicely with all the kitchen utencils and appliances(refrigerator-freezer, range cooktop, microwave) you need (no oven, though) for cooking a few dinners. Also included is cable, WIFI, beach chairs, beach towels, local cell phone, and even a cooler to take to the beach. Most of the beach area is lava rock and sand, but there was a small, intimate beach directly next door that you could swim out and take in the great snorkeling. I would definitely recommend bringing your snorkle gear as this is located in one of the best areas for snorkeling on the island. The area is like being in an aquarium with all kinds of bright colored fish and marine life. If you are not in the mood for snorkeling, then have a sit under one of the thatched umbrellas and enjoy the sun ans sounds of the surf.
To get around there are a few options including Arubus (bus stop located about a block down from the residence), rent a car (highly recommended), and taxi. We used Arubus as it was $4.60 RT for the two of us to downtown or to the Megastore and Ling and Sons grocery.
We would highly recommend this for a quiet, relaxing getaway on the island. My wife and I are regular visitors to Aruba and this by far was the best place we stayed for the price and location.
