Turtle Casa-Luxury Home - Divers Paradise

Year Purchased: 2007

Why the Owner Chose Sandy Bay

We chose Roatan because of the Islands undeveloped natural beauty and value in a Caribbean Island destination. Unlike so many tropical places, Roatan still has a wonderfully authentic Island feel. There are beautiful beaches on Roatan that you can go to and not see another soul for hours. There is also the great bustling locales with great restaurants, beautiful beaches and lots of activities. We also Love that the Island is mountainous and covered with tropical rainforest.

The Unique Benefits at this Home with Three Levels

For us, Roatan is an Island to explore and not just experience one location. From the gorgeous and "resort" beach at West Bay to the very private and uninhabited and equally beautiful beaches near Camp Bay (east end) and everything in-between, Roatan has so much to experience. If you just stay in one location for your entire vacation you miss a lot. The snorkeling/diving is world class and as a social scene, Roatan can't be beat for making friends everywhere you go.

A
Anthony's Key Free Dolphin Show

Come down in the afternoon for a free Dolphin Show everyday (except Wed).

B
Dolphin Pen

This is where you will swim with the Dolphins

C
Spooky Channel

Awesome site to kayak out to and snorkel. Just tie your kayak off to the marker and go!

D
Bay Island Beach Resort

Good place to go eat. Every Thursday they have the "Tequila Downs" beach pig roast and hermit crab races. A lot of fun and for a good cause. Proceeds go to support island schools.

E
West End

Shops, Dining, Nightclubs

I
Gumbalimba Park

Canopy Tour/Zip Lines, Monkeys, Parrots, Beautiful Gardens.

J
Camp Bay

Beautiful, Isolated Beaches, Palapa Bar. Just simply gorgeous undeveloped Caribbean Island Beauty at it's Best!!

    • A life changing experience! We wanted to take a trip where our children could experience real life in another culture. Roatan is paradise, and staying at Turtle Casa was the perfect spot. We stayed for 2 weeks in the Penthouse and Gaming suite. We were able to experience life among the Islanders while being extremely comfortable. When we first arrived on the Island, I was feeling like staying in a town would be more fun, but then soon I saw how wonderful it was to head out to the dock and kayak to some of the most beautiful snorkeling anytime I felt like it! Spooky channel is world class diving, so colorful, so many kinds of fish, the intact deep canyons of reef are like a trip to another world. I feel blessed to have experienced this place! So fantastic to be able to go to anytime we felt like it, and there were so many other spots to snorkel only a kayak ride away from the house. When we ventured off to have fun in town or exploring the island we loved to come back to a peaceful and gorgeous sunset when we did leave. The house is beautifully decorated and so luxurious to stay at and wonderful to come home to. We were able to cook and eat at home when we felt like it, or go out to the delicious restaurants when we didn't. Our children were entertained playing pool and darts, while we made frozen pina colodas and watched the sunset. The island is so magical and laid back, it is so easy to relax and really get away from it all in this perfect spot!

    • WOW! What a great experience. The dock and sea kayaks were awesome. The whole house is top of the line. We had a fabulous time windsurfing and snorkeling (spooky channel was totally spooky). The cell phone was super nice. Food was sooo good and not expensive. We will be back next year for sure. We went Dec 6-13 and the weather was just right.

    • Had a wonderful time. The house was as promised, lots of room. Loved the snorkeling and kayaking right in front of the house. We also did some windsurfing right down the beach and watched a bunch of people kite boarding. We had a blast and can't wait to get back there.

    • We rented Turtle Casa for a group of 11 veterinarians and technicians who were in Roatan as a part of a World Vets project to treated animals on the island. The house was perfect for our group! Everything down to the smallest details, from nice linens on the beds to nice dishes in the cabinets, was paid attention to. The house was spotless, the view amazing, the service from the managment company was excellent, the beds were super comfortable and the house was very spacious. Excellent house for a large group. We would highly recommend Turtle Casa to anyone looking for a great vacation rental. The house is even better than the pictures!

    • We rented the entire house for two weeks and had an absolute great time. The house is exactly as pictured. Having the gaming suite was a real plus. We enjoyed the deck with our private view of the sunset each and every day. It was nice to be a bit away from the town so that we could enjoy our time in peace and quiet when we wanted. Roatan Life did a good job following up on any items that came about during our stay. We would recommend this house (any floor) to any of our friends at the drop of a hat.

    • The Dream Vacation realized for our family was delivered to us by our stay in your dream vacation home - Turtle Casa. We loved all the beautiful and comfortable furniture. My wife loves to cook and everything she needed was there. The views , snorkling and diving was some of the best we have ever experienced. The dock was a favorite for the whole family. Next year we are planning the family reunion at Turtle Casa. Thank you for such a gift in our life! Thank you for all your help in making our stay a delight! A+++

    • We rented the whole house for a week in June 2008 and were very pleased with the efficient and organized way the rental was managed but also by how nice the house was. The view from huge picture windows was gorgeous and the house is spacious and roomy. It was perfect for our family reunion. The divers were very pleased with the dive shop that picked us up at the dock and our daughter-in-law got a first-rate certification course at a reasonable cost from them. Nondivers were happy with the snorkling right out front of the house although it is shallow for quite a ways and is easier snorkling when you get to deeper water. There were many other enjoyable activities nearby for the nondivers. We would highly recommend staying at Turtle Casa.

    • We stayed a week in the Beach Suite in June 2008. Wow - I cant say how much we enjoyed the house and our stay in Roatan. The location cant be beat... near West End, awesome swimming and snorkeling right from the beach 20 feet from the porch. The house was clean, modern and very nice. Jonathan met us at the airport and took care of us from there... oriented us to the house, gave us local tips, etc. The neighbors were very kind and helpful as well. This was a first class operation from booking to getting back on the flight home. We'll be back.

      Homeowner Response:
