Your house in Curaçao, looked after while you’re away.
We have a home in Koraal Tabak and look after the one next door. Owners who live in Canada, the Netherlands or the US hire us to do the same for theirs: a weekly check, the garden and pool, a clean house when they land, and guests handled if they rent it out.

What an empty house in Curaçao needs
Heat, salt air and trade-wind dust work on a house whether anyone is in it or not. Drains dry out and smell. Damp settles in closed rooms. Termites move in quietly. A small leak becomes a ceiling.
The fix is boring and regular: open the house every week, run the water and the AC, look in the corners, and tell the owner what we saw, with photos, the same day. That is the care plan.
If the house is rented out, the care plan still runs. It covers the empty weeks and the garden, and rental management sits on top.
