Caribbean Home: A Golf Retreat in Aruba

By: - October 20th, 2013

Just picture it — you fly to Aruba, settle in your island retreat and when you wake up the next morning, you fall out of bed right onto a golf course.

This property, which is called La Colina, is located on the Tierra del Sol golf course in Aruba.

It’s got four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool with a jacuzzi and, most importantly, it’s a step away from the course, an 18-holer designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

It’s currently listed at $3.15 million with Coldwell Banker Aruba.

Why not take a permanent vacation to the Dutch Caribbean?
