Thank you for your interest in staying at Tortuga!

From the balcony you get a serene view of a pond and neatly kept lawn dotted by tall palm trees. The pond has actual real wildlife in it (such as turtles, fish, birds). Turtle translated to Spanish is Tortuga, hence the name of this villa.

Thank you, we had a great time.
Stay was perfect i recommend getting a golf cart for stay or vehicle otherwise stay was great nice & comfy
Would rent again.
We had a wonderful short family vacation. Great location with plenty of different activities for everyone. The place was awesome and super clean, something really important specially during a pandemic. We highly recommend Tortuga Beach House!!!
This was a lovely property. Pool was right behind building. Very clean. Everything you need, including beach supplies. We will return!
All the details have been taken care of in this beautiful property. The host was very attentive and responsive. Palmas Del Mar is a gorgeous location. Would definitely stay here again.
The villa is gorgeous. Everything is set up for a perfect vacation. Modern, clean, quiet, safe, beautiful. Gorgeous pool. Alexa plays your favorite music :)) Carlos and Serge are very fast with communication via text or emails. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and many many thanks for allowing the late check out.! This was my best VRBO experience (and I travel a lot). Planning to return for another 10 days in paradise! Carmen and Ryan
I loved loved LOVED this place! It was so much nicer in person than pictures. The complex it's on, Fairway Courts, is so nicely kept. I was amazed as soon as you walk into the Tortuga Beach House. The beds were comfortable, the living room was really nice, and I loved the outdoor space. The kitchen had everything you needed. I didn't get the cable to work, but I was able to stream movies and shows on the TVs APP content. I would say however that the condo may not be baby friendly, a lot of fancy breakable decorations, that I had to move out of the way of a very curious 1, and 3 year old, but we made it work. I would definitely recommend this beach house to my family and friends, and will definitely try to stay here in the future if available.
Our villa was an ideal “headquarters” for our week-long vacation in Puerto Rico. It has a huge living room and dining area with a very nice TV, on which we were able to watch all of the games of our beloved Boston Red Sox in the evenings. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glasses, cookware and utensils, so we were able to cook breakfast and a few odd meals over our week. When we needed something, Carlos the owner immediately jumped in to respond - once for a missing bottle opener, and when the toaster handle jammed, Carlos had a new one express-shipped and toasting our bagels only a day later! The bedrooms are both spacious and very comfortable - I don’t know what it was about the mattress, but it was just right. The master bedroom has a sliding door out to a huge, nicely furnished balcony overlooking a pond full of turtles and other wildlife. It was great to go out there while it rained and just relax! We didn’t spend much time anywhere else inside Palmas del Mar, but there is a shopping area we went to once, and the grounds are certainly beautiful! Watch for iguanas (big ones), co-qui frogs (well, listen for them), and what looked like a white cockatoo that seems to live in the neighborhood. The night skies are great also, thanks to the clear air! I really am glad I booked with Carlos, and would definitely do so again!
We were a little concerned staying after the hurricane not know if the place would be as presented. But the place was better than we could have hoped for. My wife expressed that she felt like she was staying in a spa resort! In a great area close to the pool and accommodations were excellent! Everything you need. The owner contacted us quickly and sent a welcome packet with all the information we needed as soon as we booked. Directions brought us straight to the location. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks
