There is nothing quite like family vacation time. Embarking on new adventures and experiences together, memories captured through hundreds of photos and videos on our already full phones and the anticipation leading up to the trip. 

But if we’re honest, planning a family getaway can often feel like a huge operation; finding the perfect spot, activities, and pace for everyone going can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. At Coral Estate Rentals, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a luxury experience and a safe, fun environment for your kid; you should be able to have both.

From private "sandboxes" (a.k.a. the beach) to gardens where the pool is always in sight, here are our top 10 picks for a stress-free family stay on the beautiful West Side of Curaçao.
