Renting a home in Curacao is a smart choice if you are an expat, intern, or new to the island. It offers flexibility and is ideal if you are not ready to buy. Many rental properties come fully furnished, which is perfect for short or midterm stays.

Before you begin your search, consider what type of home matches your lifestyle. Would you prefer an apartment or a house with a garden? Do you need it furnished or unfurnished? You can browse more than 150 listings online, each with photos and detailed information about availability, bedrooms, and features.

Once you find homes you like, contact a RE MAX agent who can help answer your questions and schedule viewings. During these visits, check how well the property is maintained, what furniture is included, how secure it feels, and what the neighborhood is like. It also helps to ask about nearby construction plans and speak to neighbors about their experience living there.

Because good rentals go quickly, it is important to act fast. Start your search early, have your deposit ready, and prepare identification along with references from employers or previous landlords.

Before making a final decision, ask the agent which utilities are included in the rent, how much the deposit is, and what the rental terms are. According to current Dutch laws, renters do not pay a commission fee — this is paid by the owner.

As your move-in day approaches, use a trusted moving company and inspect the home together with the agent or property manager. Note any needed repairs in writing and sign the inventory list if there is one. Set up your utilities in advance, read the meters on move-in day, and inform your bank and other services of your new address. Make sure your rent is paid on time and consider getting contents insurance to protect your belongings.

If you are ready to rent a home in Curacao, explore the available listings and find the one that fits your new island lifestyle.

The advantages of renting

If you are an expat, intern or you do not know the island very well before you decide to move here, then renting is a great place to start. Renting offers more flexibility than owning - you can move somewhere else relatively quickly. Often rental homes are offered completely furnished which is great if you do not plan to live here more than just a few months or years. If you are looking for a rental home in Curacao then keep reading

How to find a place to rent

First of all, think carefully about the type of property you'd like to rent and which best suits your lifestyle. Are you best suited with an apartment or a home with a large garden? Do you want the home to be furnished or do you prefer unfurnished? You can make a first selection on this list of rental homes in Curacao! 

Here you can find more than 150 rental homes, all with additional information, such as number of bedrooms, date of availability and a minimum of 10 photographs, so you can really get a good idea of what the property is like.

What to look for on viewings

When you have decided on properties that you like, contact a RE/MAX agent. The agent will answer any questions you might have and will help you find the perfect home. Also the agent will arrange a viewing of the property with the home owner. Make the most of this opportunity by:

  • Checking how well the property has been maintained
  • Noting how much storage space there is
  • Finding out which furnishings will be in the property when you move in
  • Asking yourself how secure it feels? Is there access from rear gardens and alleys?
  • Asking the realtor if any works are planned or new houses are going up nearby - this will add to noise
  • Talking to neighbors - ask them what it's like to live there

How to beat the crowd

Good places go fast, so here are our tips for getting ahead of the rest to secure the best property:

  • Start viewing in good time. A lot of properties are offered a few months before they are ready to move into
  • Have a cash deposit fee ready (and get a receipt for it)
  • Have your passport and full address available- the agent will need these for the reference check
  • Copies of references from your employer and previous landlords may also be needed

Budgeting and finances

Once you think you have found somewhere you like, things to ask the agent are:

  • What bills (if any) are included in the rent? Are there any charges for the cleaning of communal areas etc?
  • How much is the deposit (usually one month rent) and when is the rent reviewed?
  • Will there be a fixed term in the tenancy and, if so, for how long? Is the tenancy extendable after the fixed term has ended?

Following new Dutch laws, the agents commission is paid by the home owner when the house is rented to a private person. Renters do not pay commission to the agent for finding them a rental home.

Pim, it’s a great pleasure that we write this testimonial to your wonderful service. Our journey with Pim van Ogtrop and Remax Bonbini started in Switzerland when we decided to buy a second home in Curacao. We found you on the internet along with 4 other realtors who we asked to send us property listings. At first we were looking for a home under $200,000 and you made us feel just as important as the buyer with the multi-million dollar budget. You were the only agent that was consistent...
