Beachfront! Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking on site. Turtle Casa, ENTIRE VILLA!!

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 ENTIRE HOUSE - THREE FLOORS, SIX BEDROOMS, 4.5 BATHROOMS, THREE KITCHENS, TWO MASSIVE DECKS.

We have 5 additional listings on VRBO that will give you more choices for all of our 2 and 4 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.

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

Turtle Casa will set the stage as one of the best properties you can find on Roatan for affordable and comfortable group gatherings. Everyone stays in the same Villa on 3 separate floors, but has their own private suite for quiet time and a place to unwind. There are even separate kitchens to keep mealtimes simple and easy. Traveling with a group is great fun, but you'll really appreciate having private space to retreat when desired.

Gather together for socializing in the very spacious Gaming Level (middle floor) with Billiards, Darts, Games, Bluetooth Stereo, Dining space for 12+, Projector and an expansive covered patio. Retreat to your own private suite when you want to just relax and have private time. For this reason, Turtle Casa is just ideal for Family Reunions, Destination Weddings, Missions Trips, Dive Trips, or any reason groups travel together!

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:

If you would like to check out our other 2 or 4 bedroom options, please see the bottom of this section for direct links.

The Penthouse Suite, 2BR/2Bath - The top floor of Turtle Casa, THE PENTHOUSE, features wood floors, fine furnishings from Bali and central America, well equipped kitchen with granite counters, a fine dining table for 6, a very large covered veranda with loungers, hammocks, gas grill and an outdoor dining set for 4. This suite is geared for the more discriminating travelers with 2 large Master Bedrooms, each with it's own private master bath. Master Bedroom 1 features a King size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a beautiful mosaic rock shower with dual "rain" style shower heads. Master Bedroom 2 features a queen size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a shower/tub combination. The Penthouse is our most sophisticated and luxurious suite, offering spectacular unimpeded sunset and ocean views.

The Gaming Suite, 2BR/1.5 Bath - Gather together for socializing and fun in the very spacious middle Gaming Suite featuring Billiards, Darts, Games, Books, a Projector, Stereo and an expansive covered patio. This suite is all about sharing good times with family and friends! It features a large covered veranda with hammocks, loungers, gas grill and an outdoor dining set for 6. Inside you'll find a fine 6 person dining set, expansive living room/game room with 1/2 bath, full kitchen with all appliances and granite counters, even a wine chiller! The 2 Queen bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Without a doubt, this is where your group will spend most of it's time together and it's got what you need.

The Beach Suite, 2BR/1Bath - 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 and hammock.

If you choose to come vacation with us, let us take care of the details so your vacation is smooth and easy. We LOVE helping guests!! We can recommend excellent Concierge services, Drivers, Tours, and a great Chef!!

Turtle Casa is the ABSOLUTE best!!
Turtle Casa was absolutely amazing! We cannot wait to go back. Each level of the home was very well stocked. Lots of towels to use for the beach. Even some extra snorkel equipment in the garage. But the thing that put it over the top was Marnie! She did such a great job communicating information to us, giving us and helping us with recommendations of things to do and places to go. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all her help and guidance. We had two families traveling, and it was an absolute blast to all be together and get to stay at the same house. We really enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking; and some fishing right from the dock. This house and the people running it literally made it one of our best stays of anywhere we’ve ever been

Wanted to stay all summer!
This property, location, and hosts were more than we could have asked for. We had 8 of us, including two 9 year olds and used all three floors. The setup was perfect. And we had more than enough amenities. Marnie was also very quick to respond and give helpful guidance if needed. We did almost all of our meals at the house and found the kitchens well stocked - even with an assortment of spices. (Eldon’s is the place to shop and note that the house has grocery bags in the kitchen that you can use and save a few dollars.) And the location was phenomenal. Using the kayaks (or even swimming) to go out and snorkel was very easy. There is some really nice snorkeling straight out from the house. Nonetheless, a little to the east (straight out from the orange house) is top world class snorkeling at Spooky Channel. We swam there at least 6 times, and every time left amazed and having seen something new. Also snorkeled at Hall Moon Bay - which was fine but didn’t compare with Spooky Channel. And we snorkeled at West Bay Beach. The beach there is beautiful and the snorkeling was incredible here too and yet very different from near the house - highlights were the green moray eel and the eagle ray. Was planning on this being a once in a lifetime trip but we might actually try to come back - and if we do, Turtle Casa will be our place to go!

Awesome Stay at Turtle Casa
We were a group of 10 (two families with three young adult sons and their girlfriends). We rented the whole house and had PLENTY of room. The house was well stocked with beach towels, kitchen items, games, lounge chairs, washer/dryer, kayaks, etc. Marnie was SUPER helpful before and during our stay making sure we understood the immigration forms, providing us with helpful tips on groceries and info about the house, and making sure the house met our expectations upon arrival. The house was very clean and is well maintained. During our stay we booked a fishing charter with Ruthless Roatan (literally next door/shared dock) and had a great trip! Sandy Bay is a bit off of the grid, which was perfect for us as we were anxious to avoid the cruise ship crowds. We rented two cars at the airport and did not have any issues getting around the island. I/we would recommend Turtle Casa to friends!

Amazing stay at the Turtle Casa
My family and I (group of 10) stayed at the Turtle Casa for 8 nights and it was a great stay. the location is right in the sweet spot of Roatan. 10 minutes away from the airport, 10 minutes from West End and 18 minutes to West Bay. the house was cleaned, the check in process was smooth and Marnie was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here and we will be rebooking for next years Holiday season

Amazing vacation rental in Roatan...
This property is amazing and was a perfect fit for our party of 11. Communication with Marnie was great and her recommendations were spot on. We used Sandy Bay Divers for all our diving excursions, Ruthless Charters for a deep sea fishing trip and chef Jennie to cook our catch. The house offers privacy away from the busy West End tourist area but is only a short drive away for when you want those activities. I highly recommend this house for your Roatan vacation!

Great trip with friends
From long before our stay to well after, the communication with Marnie was great. She went out of her way to make sure we had all the answers we needed before arriving. We enjoyed great food from Chef Jennie that she recommended. Amazing sunsets from the dock. Great snorkeling using the kayaks. Johney was very accommodating along the way. After it was all over Marnie made sure we were happy and also sought feedback on companies we used to further improve her future guests experience. Top notch service in a beautiful place.

Terrific choice!
We loved our 2 week stay here with a party of 8! We rented all three floors and found this to be the perfect retreat and home base for our Roatan vacation. The owners arranged for someone to meet us in person at check in and show us everything personally. The house was amazing - plenty of room, great views, full kitchen on every floor. We used the private dock almost every day to kayak to some great snorkeling spots or just bask in the sun. We even left right from the dock for a day trip with the charter service that operates next door. All in all, a wonderful experience!

The owners provided excellent recommendations regarding things to do, and people who could provide the services and activities that we were interested in.

July 2019 Family Vacation
There were 11 of staying at Turtle Casa. The house worked perfect us as there were 3 families, so each family had their own floor. There were a few minor issues. Only 2 of 3 grills worked. The house is equipped with a 2 car garage, but we were only able to open on side. There was recent tile repair on the gaming floor, however the grout was not sealed, so the floor was constantly sandy. The ac in the penthouse suite was not working properly. Once reported, it was fixed that same day.

AMAZING
What an amazing place! I highly recommend Turtle Casa in Sandy Bay. Check in was smooth and very courteous. Lots of communication with the owners. This house is fabulous for business trips, family get aways or just one of the floors. We just spent 10 days here with our family. We rented the whole place so spacious never felt like we were on top of each other. Decorated so beautifully very relaxing atmosphere . Waking up each morning to this beautiful view and watching sunsets from the deck each night. We had 10 adults 3 children. Each floor has their own kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms . Super clean and kept up meticulously. Each kitchen totally equipped for cooking. Grills on every deck. Washer and dryer in garage. If your a diver close to spooky channel. They have kayaks to use to paddle out to reefs for awesome snorkeling. Swimming with dolphins close by as well.Water taxis pick you up off the dock for diving, snorkeling or fishing. They have driving and cooking services which we used that were incredible. Thank you Frankie and Jenny. We took water taxi to West bay a few times and had driver pick us up. It was nice to be out of the hustle and bustle touristy part which we loved. Really loved location of the house felt really safe. Thank you Mark and Katie for letting our family share your place . We created memorable moments.

Everything we hoped it would be
We had a fantastic stay at Turtle Casa. We rented all three floors, and there was plenty of space for our group of 14. The house was great for everything we wanted to do. We cooked multiple meals for the family, and the cookware and kitchen appliances were all adequate for our meal prep. We loved taking out the kayaks and snorkeling. The views from the house were tremendous. Roatan Vacation Rentals took care of us during our stay, and Alex, my main contact was constantly available, courteous, and professional. I called him 3 different times with questions or concerns and he took care of us every time. The only bad part was when we had to leave. Nobody wanted to go! It was a perfect large family vacation.
