Borrowing from Walt Disney's mission for Disneyland, our mission for Tortuga Cay is simple...'to be a place where friends & family can have fun together.'

Located on one of the largest canals in Jamaica Beach w/ direct access to Galveston Bay & State Park, you can't ask for a better location...
- 10 minute bike ride to the beach, Jamaica Beach Swimming Pool (open Memorial Day to the first of August), playground & city park
- 20 minute drive to the Pleasure Pier, MoodyGardens, Schlitterbahn, the Strand & Sea Wall

Tortuga Cay is a place where families can bike to the beach on our complimentary 'beach cruiser' bicycles. A place where children can fish from our pier or kayak in the protected canals of Jamaica Beach (we provide kayaks & life vests at no cost). This is a place where parents can relax on the deck, knowing the kids & pets are playing safely in our fully-fenced yard; and a place where friends can enjoy a day of boating right from our slip, grilling by the water or relaxing on the deck.

Above all else, Tortuga Cay is a place to get away for awhile, relax, and enjoy life with each other!

Our private dock is equipped with an underwater fishing light to help draw in the 'big ones' after dark! Trout, red fish, drum, and several other varieties are frequently caught from our deck!

Fishing Guide & Boat Rental Service: If you're looking to hit the water for a guided fishing excursion or a dolphin watching sunset cruise, our professional guide service is available to pick you up right at our pier for a full day or half day bay fishing trip. Just walk right downstairs and hop on the boat... it doesn't get more convenient than that! Also, if you are interested in renting a boat during your stay, we can help you arrange a full or half-day boat rental at a special discounted rate for our guests!

5★ AMENITIES:
We've paid particular attention to the little things that make a stay more comfortable:
- large king beds w/ high-quality, tempurpedic mattresses
- 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets
- premium resort-grade towels
- complimentary beach cruiser bikes and kayaks w/ an assortment of helmets, life jackets and paddles
- charging ports on bedside tables
- high speed wireless internet
- HD Roku TV's in the living room & all bedrooms
- Complimentary pack & play, high chair seat, children's dishware and utensils to make your little one's stay as restful as yours!

Following an extensive renovation, Tortuga Cay now features beautiful granite counter-tops, glass tile back-splashes, all new stainless appliances, two fully renovated decks overlooking the expansive lagoon and much, much more. With three decks overlooking the water the home features water views from virtually every room in the house. The layout of the home makes it easy for families and groups to travel together; three bedrooms total with a spiral staircase leading to two bedrooms upstairs (and away from the main living area) and two decks adjoining the king bedrooms.

A note from the owners for parents traveling with small children... we have young children ourselves, so we know what it's like to travel with kids and have designed this home with them in mind. We've taken great care to ensure our home allows children to play safely AND allows parents to enjoy their vacation without constant worry. Lockable safety gates on both the upstairs deck and the fully-fenced yard help keep your children & pets safely away from the water and street. We also have a high chair and pack-n-play available for your use (just make sure to bring crib sheets).

Amenities include: 55' LCD TV, streaming Roku TV's (in living room AND king bedrooms) and complimentary high-speed wifi, washer/dryer, Moen adjustable shower heads with massage setting, Tempurpedic king mattresses, attached boat slip, deck ladder for swimming in the canal, 2 single kayaks and a tandem kayak w/ paddles & life vests, 2 beach-cruiser bicycles and a tandem two-person bike w/ helmets, beach toys, boogie-boards, all linens, towels, blankets, dishes, etc... all of this and more is included with your stay!

Pets: Your pets are part of your family and are always welcome in our home with no additional pet deposit. The yard has been designed to give them room to play safely and away from the water.

    This home was perfect for my family! Kids loved the kayaks and husband loved the night fishing! Beach is across the street from neighborhood! Golf cart rentals are at front of the neighborhood! Plan on making this a yearly getaway from home! Highly recommend!

    VRBO is tired. Pots and pans not great for cooking, no scissors, must allow pets as pet hair everywhere, everything was sticky due to whatever cleaning product is used. Spiral staircase is not ideal. Cannot use pickle court in driveway as the driveway is cracked and could result in injury. Bikes are rusty, not taken care of, and would not do laundry in washer-pure rust. The owner is very responsive. The location is great. The house is just tired, needs upkeep.

    This was our second stay and had a wonderful time. Robin was quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything! The beds were very comfortable and fishing in the canal was great. The pickleball court was definitely a highlight. We would recommend coming here to our family/friends.

    The peacefulness of this rental was amazing. Fishing every morning and evening right off the dock was worth it! We rented a golf cart to get to the pool and beach and it was totally worth it!! Highly recommend

    This is a great place. We didn't stay long enough to do everything this place has to offer. The dock with fishing lights was amazing. We used the kayaks and we caught fish with them as well. We liked this way better than a beach house. We liked the stay here becasue we could enjoy the outdoors activities all the time. Then we could just drive to the beach for a little while. This is more convenient becasue you don't have to find a parking spot and can drive on the beach. You also don't have to carry everything down a board walk to get there.

    The only problem with our stay at Tortuga Cay was that it wasn't long enough. The house was beautiful, location beautiful, water beautiful. We had a wonderful, relaxing time, which was just what we were looking for.We will be anxiously awaiting our next opportunity to stay at Tortuga Cay!Thank you very much and best regards,dp
