"Home away from home" is what we can say about our stay in CASA TORTUGA. Amazing house, her owner cares about every detail; 30 mts away from the beach, 5 minutes walking distance from a great surf point; nice pool, beautiful garden with a great gallery , comfortable rooms, bathrooms, full kitchen, everything we needed, was there !!!!! Hope we will return soon PURA VIDA!!!!!

My family with young kids and some of our friends stayed for a week at Casa Tortuga, and we can't say enough great things about it! We will definitely recommend this rental to people we know. The house is modern, spacious, well-maintained, well-ventilated, and well-stocked with all the essentials we needed, which is something you don't always find in the area, as can attest our friends who stayed in other rental houses of equal or greater price-range in Santa Teresa. It is very clean to anyone's high standards. The owner, Nicole, did a fantastic job to ensure we had all the amenities and information we needed to settle in quickly. The house is designed in such a way that it is ideal for groups, with private bathrooms plus an open-concept living room, porch, and kitchen area that invite good times with family and friends in a tropical place. We loved the pool and adjacent hammock area....they were the perfect places to hang out during the middle of the day with our kids to watch the occasional visit from howler monkeys and iguanas in the trees and enjoy the surrounding lush vegetation when we wanted a break from the sand and surf. The beach is friendly for kids...safe, with great sand and a beach break that lets anyone from age 0-100 enjoy the water in the way they want (wading, swimming, surfing etc.). It was handy having a well-stocked grocery store (that also sells liquor) a quick walk down the street in addition to all the many small restaurants in Santa Teresa. We hope to come again and stay at Casa Tortuga!

Casa Tortuga is one of the best places I've ever stayed. It's 100 metres away from consistent peeling beach break that's not over-crowded and has an awesome vibe in the water. It's got nice shade for the hot afternoons, the house is super clean and has all the amenities of a modern pad. It's really quiet and safe, perfect for families or anyone looking for a nice intimate get away. Esta buy bien!

I loved to stay at this house, perfect location, quiet, great accommodations, a place to stay, relax, enjoy nature, rest...., a dream!! The house has everything you need,the bedrooms are big with comfortable beds and big bathrooms.It is quiet at night with a great view to the backyard with all the amazing nature you have there, trees, birds singing, ocean's sound. It has a swimming pool, just to be there and relax after a walk at the beach, it was clean and nice. The house has hammocks out side where you can rest, I just loved that!! Big living room, perfect to share time with friends and family. The beach is right there, just 3 minutes walking and you have this wonderful ocean view, wild and at the same time perfect for your senses. It is a place where you can feel safe, private entrance, security is a plus for this beauliful house. Big kitchen with all the equipment you need. We walked at the beach at night and saw two Baula turtles, it was amazing a unique experience! You also have a lot of places to go out close from the house.It was more than I I expected!! everything was perfect!!

My family of seven recently stayed at the casa tortuga for 3 nights. This include 5 adults a 7 year old, and a 2 year old. The home and its owner Nicole were AMAZING! The home was remarkably clean and tidy. There was ample room for the seven of us and we did not even use all of the beds in the house. The kitchen and indoor and outdoor living space were all perfect and you really felt like you were at home. Nicole came to meet us the 2nd day and what an amazing woman she was. She was extremely friendly and very helpful with information about restaurants and travel ideas. A short walk down a beach path leads to miles of endless white sand beaches, many times we were the only family on the beach along with a few surfers in the water. The small pool was perfect for cooling off and small children. We grilled some fresh red snapper bought from the fish market in Mal Pais that was amazing. This place is a surfers paradise, but even if you do not surf it is a great spot on the Cost Rica tour for a family to stay and feel like they are safe and at home. Pura Vida!!! Nicole Rocks!

The Best in Playa Santa Teresa

Review Submitted 05/10/12

I just returned from a week stay at Casa Tortuga for the second time and it was just as fantastic as the first time I stayed there. The house is still awesome, all the appliances including A/C's, coffee makers, etc.. work.It is also clean and neat. Best of all it is on the beach. Three of us stayed there on this vacation (2 for the first time) and we all agree this is one of the best rental properties in Santa Teresa with one of the best locations on the North end of Santa Teresa. I have looked at other lodging options in Mal Pais and Santa Teresa and I still think Casa Tortuga is one of the prime rental homes. Nicole is a great owner and person and Juan the manager/concierge was also very helpful. Surfing right out the back is great, and there are numerous restaurants nearby. Also a small supermarket within walking distance. Cannot wait to go back for the third time--hopefully soon.

It was very easy to get to the house based on the address provided and when I got there it was a great surprise; the house was very comfortable and had everything I needed. Everything that I saw in the property matched with the description given and it was tidy clean. The construction is very tasteful and based on the design it feels very well-ventilated. I also liked the design of the pool and the outside area with the hammocks where you can just relax and have fun with friends. I decided to stay at this house based on a recommendation given by some friends that went there a few months ago, and would also recommend it to other friends myself. There are good restaurants in the area and the beach is literally just around the corner so it was very convenient for me as I wanted to spend a lot of time at the beach.

My wife and I along with three friends rented Casa Tortuga in February. We had the best time ever! The grounds and amenities are top notch and Nicole was a real pleasure to decal with. We are already planning our next trip. This was our fourth year staying in Santa Teresa and it was our favorite place so far. So close to the beach and within walking distance to many great restaurants and grocery stores. I would highly recommend Casa Tortuga to anyone looking for the perfect get away. We can not wait till next year! Pura Vida!

Fantástica experiencia en este hermoso lugar, a unos cuantos metros de la playa, con piscina, y servicios indispensables para estar confortable y relajado, una excelente vibra del lugar y su gente, un clima de ensueño... Después de la parrillada en casa tortuga, una fogata en la playa y deleite de una bóveda celeste curvandose sobre nuestro cuerpo, que más podemos pedir que el espectáculo maravilloso de bioluminicencia en el mar nocturno, jugando y danzando con esas criaturas maravillosas que eran parte de una bienvenida espléndida en esta maravillosa playa de Santa Teresa, super recomendado, definitivamente es la parada ante la puertas del nirvana, ;)

La meilleure adresse pour passer un sejour au bord de la mer! Une maison ultra spacieuse et chaleureuse, encerclee par une faune et une flore foisonnantes, toutes commodites possibles, une vaste plage - ideale pour surfer- a deux pas, que demander de plus! Un super accueil en plus, et il est tout aussi agreable de passer du temps explorant les environs que de se relaxer sur place et profiter du climat et de tout le reste... A recommander vivement!!!

We recently spent a week at Casa Tortuga and my only regret is that we hadn't stayed longer. The house provide a very tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. The surrounding natural beauty and close proximity to the ocean/pool is enough to take your mind off the Santa Teresa's heat. The property is really clean and well-maintained. The owner (Nicole) makes you feel at home immediately, and is a great help if advice is needed for activities, restaurants, massages, surf lessons, etc. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet, serene getaway, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back again...

First we would like to thank Nicole for her hospitality and amazing home away from home in Casa Tortugo. We arrived after a long day of travel, to a beautiful beach house with an amazing pool. The ocean is a three minute walk from the house. There you can find the best surf and beach walking in the area. A grocery store is just across the street for any last minute meal ideas or if you choose, local restaurants are scattered up and down the main road, take your pick. Working in the hotel industry in the states, I can tell you that this beach home is in an amazing location and it has every amenity that you would need or want. Simply a treat to have been able to stay at Casa Tortuga.

The comforts of an american home in paradise!

Review Submitted 04/02/12

As my husband and I were walking down the dusty main road in Santa Teresa, inquiring about rooms in the area, we met Nicole the owner of Casa Tortuga. She gave us a tour of the house and it was so beautiful compared to the other hotels/lodges in the area that we just had to stay. The house had all the comforts of an american home and more. Hot running water, a fully equipt kitchen with top of the line knives, pots pans and appliances, a water filtration system for drinking water, super comfy beds, clean bath and beach towels, and a security system. Our stay was so relaxing. Every morning I would wake to the sounds of waves and the birds singing. We would cook ourselves a healthy breakfast and eat outside in the covered veranda while observing howler monkies and the humming birds in the trees. After breakfast we would go for walks along the endless beach. We walked all of the beaches in the area and realized that this spot can't be beat. There are no rocks, perfect waves and the beach is practically always deserted. Our afternoons were spent enjoying the gorgeous lush gardens lazin out on hammocks in the rancho /gazebo and swimming in our private swimming pool. After dinner it was back to the beach to watch the amazing sunsets that left us speechless. We felt so blessed to stay at Casa Tortuga. We are already making plans to bring our families next time!

Recientemente nos hospedamos en Casa Tortuga y simplemente fue una experiencia maravillosa. Recomiendo Casa Tortuga para quien desee pasar unas vaciones de playa relajantes, lejos del ajetreo y de la gente. Esta hermosa casa tiene una serie de detalles pensados en la comodidad de quien la habita; los jardines, cercanía a la playa, la piscina y el rancho son los complementos perfectos para una vacación inolvidable.Pronto estaremos de vuelta por este paradisiaco lugar!

Owner response: Muchas gracias Lucrecia por hospedarse con nosotros. Estamos muy felices que disfrutaron de sus vacaciones en la casa Tortuga y en playa Santa Teresa. Esperamos verlos de nuevo por aqui muy pronto. Pura vida! Nicole & Stefan

This is a little piece of heaven. My wife and our 2 young boys stayed at Casa Tortuga for 10 days. The villa is one lot back from the beach, on the beach side of the road. Being steps from the beach was unbelievably easy. This is one of the best beaches I have ever seen, if not the best. If you are looking to surf or body surf, it can't be beat. With a grocery store just down the street, we went days without ever getting into a car! The kids loved coming back from out morning beach trip and hitting the pool for hours at a time. My 3 year logged more time in the pool than he had all year in his weekly swim lessons, and by mid-stay, he had actually learned to swim. The number and quality of the restaurants within 1 mile from here was a pleasant surprise. The villa is beautifully furnished and well equipped. Upon arrival, we found it has all the basics-- like tp, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, fresh towels, clean linens and bathrooms, etc.,so running across the street to pick up salt, pepper, and napkins was not an issue. A local woman came to clean every 2-3 days and did a very thorough job. She gave us clean towels and fresh linens and left the place spotless. We don't speak spanish, but we got by just fine. Now we are motivated to learn! We will be back. Steve Craig, Durham NH

Owner response: Steve, we look forward to your next visit. We had a great time with the kids, they're great. Pura vida! Nicole & Stefan

A great place for beach-goers, surfers and lay-around-and-readers alike. The beach is a minute away, the grocery store is across the street and there are many restaurants within walking distance. Casa Tortuga has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Just add sunscreen and you're good to go! P.S.The 5 star chef we hired for dinner one night was fantastic!

We stayed at Casa Tortuga for 10 days. The proximity to the beach was my favorite feature, especially with 2 small children in tow. Having a swimming pool was fantastic for the kids, they used it everyday. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking meals at home, which we did often. We even had fresh fish delivered to out door & were very close to the market which was very convenient. Santa Teresa is a beautiful beach town with many fantastic dining, yoga & spa options. This place is for you if you are a fairly active person who wants a relaxing beach getaway. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us Stefan & Nicole.

Owner response: Thank you Brooke for staying with us! Your family is beautiful. We really enjoyed the sunsets with the whole family.

Dear Stefan and Nicole We've stayed in a lot of places in Costa Rica but CasasPuraVida is by far our favorite. We had the opportunity to stay in 3 of the 4 houses on the property. I would highly recommend them all.... The location is perfect! Great surf is at your doorstep, fantastic ethnic restaurants, friendly people, spas,grocery store and much more. A secure and well maintained premises. We were looking for the perfect location and found it! If you're looking for "PURA VIDA" this is the place. Thank you all for accomodating our needs. This has been a wonderful vacation for our family. We will recommend CasasPuraVida to all our friends. Look forward to seeing you in the future! Take care! Bud and Karen Shipp Cape Carteret, NC

We can not thank you enough for our wonderful stay in the beautiful "Casa Tortuga". It was heaven in earth for our family! Just steps away from the beat surfing beach on the entire coast, my sons could come, go and surf "perfect" waves any time of the day! After golden days on the beach the waterfall, the rainforest, the diving, the islands - what a delight to come home to the warm and cozy Casa Tortuga, full of chic furnishings, great complete kitchen, comfy beds with nice linens, silent A/C, great bathrooms and excellent maid service, the house was always so clean. We loved the lush gardens and private pool and hammocks to read and relax in. Santa Teresa is a fun little town full of great restaurants and friendly people from all over the world, and we could ride our bike from the house to all of them. It has been so hard to leave, we have extended our stay! We all can't wait to come back. Namaste and adios! Laurette, Kit, Cody, Henry and Liz
