About this property
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.

Yes, we had a great beach view. The sunsets were spectacular. Parking was sometimes tight, but still manageable. The rooms were very clean and the bathrooms were in excellent conditions. The balcony was one of the best feature. Overall, we had a great time.
Our stay at Surface Interval was fantastic. The property was spotless and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything one would need, including sharp knives. The property backs onto a private sand beach, from which one can snorkel.The check-in process was seamless. We were met at the airport with both keys and directions to the apartment. Dive shops are a short walk down the street and the grocery stores a 7 minute drive.Bruce was also very responsive and quickly answered any questions we had.
We had such a wonderful time and loved this location. It was so comfortable and the location was awesome. Beautiful snorkeling just steps outside! I hope to visit again in the future.
If you are planning a trip to Bonaire this is the place to be. Excellent amenities, private pool and beach share by just a view units. Reef right outside the door. The famous dive sites literally minutes down the road. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, airport.Take a ride to the Wast side for some spectacular boat dives. Couldn’t ask for more. Maybe one more week! Bruce was super helpful Can’t wait to return!
Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Surface Interval. Bruce was incredibly helpful both before and during our trip, and the management office was responsive and supportive as well. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed — we especially loved the patio and found the AC very effective. The beds were comfortable, and parking was easy with no issues.The location is great for enjoying the water — we had a fantastic time snorkeling the reef right out front and loved drifting down to Bachelor Beach.There were a couple of minor drawbacks: we noticed some noise from the road and a neighborhood dog, but the sound of the waves and the AC made it easy to tune out. With a family of four, the gate/key entry system felt a bit cumbersome if we weren’t all heading out together; a key code entry might be more convenient.Overall, a really enjoyable vacation!
We loved this beautiful apartment on the water and will be back for sure. Thanks to the owner for great communication it was easy to get oriented to the island quickly. We felt safe and drove ourselves all over. The apartment is well stocked, quiet, comfortable and close to e wrything.
Bruce's place felt like home away from home rather than a rental. Communication was excellent and the apartment had more amenities than rentals typically do (the coffee grinder was clutch). The entire apartment was comfortable and quiet
We were a group of 3 including my elderly mother looking for a last minute stop in Bonaire. We were lucky enough to find an opening in peak season. Bruce was the perfect host and not only communicated quickly but went out of his way to make our stay great. We would come back, stay longer and enjoy the amazing view and location of this condo!
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 !
This is our second stay at Surface Interval. The owner has thought of everything you will ever need! Comfortable, clean and has a fantastic beach and pool. Snorkeling just outside is a plus! We will be back again!!
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.
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.
We couldn’t have picked a better spot. Loved the beach right off the property and had some of the best snorkelling right here! Condo has everything we needed and our host, Bruce, was wonderful right from the start. Once we got a feel for where the shopping etc was, we realized just how perfect this location is. Away from the crowds of the cruise ships but close enough to get to where we needed in a short drive. Highly recommend this property and we fell in love with Bonaire.
Very pleasant and comfortable. I would not recommend a light sleeper using the street-side bedroom. Clothes dryer not working but fortunately the drying rack substituted adequately. Otherwise we loved the location. Excellent snorkeling off the beach.
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!
We loved our stay. The view off the balcony is fantastic and it was a ton of fun watching the cruise ship come in each morning and leave in the evening. We also relished each sunset. More importantly, the snorkeling off of the property’s shore is very good. There were often bait balls within 100 feet of shore, and we saw every manner of marine life. If you can go and snorkel at sunrise or sunset, there is even more life out there, including eels. In terms of the condo, the kitchen was well stocked, and everything was as one would expect. We will definitely stay there again.
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.
The condo was exactly as listed, very clean and an unexpected cleaning half way through our 8 night stay was a pleasant surprise. There are plenty of kitchen utensils and spices to cooks meals in the room. The view from the patio is spectacular (just don't hang dive gear on the railing, I was informed by the full time neighbor that's not permitted). The diving itself on Bonaire is still good (I haven't been there in 6 years), but has, in my opinion, declined due to dead and dying coral. Overall, it was a great trip and I would highly recommend this apartment.
Awesome. We went to celebrate my sister's birthday and do some shore diving before weYou can see the owners put a lot of thought into equipping the entire unit. It is petfect location
