Beachfront! Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking on site. Turtle Casa BEACH SUITE

Turtle Casa is a fabulous 3 story Beach Villa with each level featuring a full kitchen, living room, dining areas, bedrooms and baths.

This listing is for renting the 2 bedroom/1 bathroom BEACH SUITE, bottom floor.

Electricity is INCLUDED. We simply ask out guests to be conservative with it, as it is VERY EXPENSIVE on Roatan!

Why so few reviews?? Please see our primary listing (whole villa) for MANY 5 Star reviews of the property: https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p210207

We have 5 additional listings on VRBO that will give you more choices for all of our 2, 4 and 6 bedroom options to suit your needs and budget. Listing address' are provided at the bottom of this section. Please check them all out and make the choice that's the best fit for you.

The Beach Suite is the ground level of Turtle Casa and provides our most economical accommodations. It is smaller in size than the Gaming/Penthouse levels as it shares it's floor space with the 2 car garage, but it still provides 2 good size bedrooms (1 queen / 1double), a living room/dining room, full kitchen (half sized fridge) with granite counter tops and a full bathroom. It has a large outdoor seating area just a few steps to the Beach with loungers, a table for two and a hammock.

WIFI: If you need to get some work done (or just like staying in touch or streaming) Turtle Casa has upgraded to the highest residential WIFI package available on-island through Fiber Optic cable. We've added a Google Mesh system to reach all corners of the large villa with excellent upload and download speeds as well.

The Villa is located in the Sandy Bay area, away from the commotion and noise of the tourist areas, and at the same time just a short drive to the best areas on the Island for public beaches, restaurants and nightlife. Our property is ideal for the traveler wanting to stay away from the crowds but close to the action. You'll appreciate the quiet at night when you're sitting out on the veranda or swinging in one of our Hammocks, watching the stars and listening to the waves crashing on the reef just offshore.

You couldn't have a better location for Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Fishing, Island excursions to Cayos Cochinos or other exotic locales and Sunset Cruises - The hallmarks of a vacation at Turtle Casa. Walk out the door and have your party picked up right at the end of our dock for all of these activities! Our next door neighbor (Capt Tim) shares our expansive dock and runs one of the most popular charter services in Roatan for deep sea/fly fishing, Island Excursions to Cayos Cochinos and other remote locations like Pigeon Cay and Sunset cruises. Look him up on the web at Ruthless Roatan Charters - You'll want to take advantage of an unforgettable excursion with the best service on Roatan, leaving right from your dock!

And speaking of our dock, Turtle Casa features a custom 2 level Dock, built with ocean activities and entertainment in mind. Plenty of Adirondack-style seating, hammocks and Sea Kayaks make this a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. And your diving/fishing/excursion operators all can pick you up right there without having to leave the property!

Or slide one of our kayaks down the easy ramp into the ocean and kayak out to the gorgeous coral reef, just off shore, for some fantastic snorkeling at Roatan's famous dive site, Spooky Channel.

Have you always wanted to swim with Dolphins? The world famous Roatan Institute for Marine Science is located within walking distance from Turtle Casa at Anthony's Key. Here you can Snorkel with Dolphins, Dive with Dolphins or even become a 'Trainer for a Day'. An experience you'll never forget!

So much to do right on site - AND away from all the crowds.

And then there's Turtle Casa's spectacular deck's overlooking the Ocean; my favorite place to swing in the hammock's every morning with a cup of coffee or watch the unbelievably gorgeous Caribbean sunsets!

Lastly, Turtle Casa provides a garage with automatic doors and a full size washer/dryer for your convenience at no charge.

Now let's move inside and I'll describe each of Turtle Casa's 3 private suite's in detail:

Turtle Casa Sandy Bay
This house is amazing. We stayed in the gaming suite. It was spacious and cool. We arrived early and the owner arranged early check in and despite a power outage on the island Yami (the caretaker )had everything ready. The deck was where we landed first and it was shady and comfortable. After the mid day siesta we explored the West End, Marnie's videos for navigating the island are very helpful. The house was everything that it advertised and more. Marnie is the perfect host, she checked on us frequently and was always responsive if we had questions. There were no problems, there were no issues, there were no hiccups, the whole visit was smooth and professionally orchestrated. I plan on staying here when we return.

Amazing Stay
We were lucky enough to have the chance to stay in the beach suite and the gaming suite. All communication was quick and responsive from Marnie and the 2 places are accurately depicted in the listing. Both suites were spotless. Beach Suite - the only thing we would change about that suite is having an ice maker included since it is only a mini-fridge in the suite. Ice for our drinks would have made them tastier. We feel this suite is best for couples as it was on the smaller side and would be tight for 4 people. Gaming Suite- in our opinion worth the extra money a night. Much larger and includes a patio with million dollar views. This would be perfect for a family of 4. As a side note if you’re considering renting a car to tour, you are better off with a SUV and not the Honda Fit we rented. The roads are gravel with MANY potholes and speed bumps.

Turtle Casa Relaxation
The beach suite of Turtle Casa was perfect. From the comfortable bed with quality linens and good pillows to the stocked kitchen where we made breakfast every morning, the place met every expectation. We enjoyed the covered porch where we watched the sea and walked down the steps to the beach. The kayaks were an added bonus and we used them every day to snorkel Spooky Channel teeming with amazing fish, Marnie was wonderful to work with and very attentive to our needs and questions with great information. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
