Map & Owner's Profile
Villa Tortuga - Luxury California Beach Condo
Year Purchased: 1988
Why the Owner Chose Monarch Beach
I bought my place as a primary residence and soon realized what a gem of a location it was. Career opportunities moved me to San Diego, but I could never part with this property. It's nice to be able to visit whenever it's not being rented, and also nice to be able to let others enjoy this incredible area.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The idea behind the upgrade to this property was to make the interior as special as the spectacular outdoor surroundings. I did not want the vacation to end for my guests when they came indoors. If all you need is a roof over your head, this place might not be for you. But if you want all aspects of your trip to be special, then you'll appreciate the mind set that went into Villa Tortuga.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Villa Tortuga in March 2011. Gus has thought of everything from shampoo and beach towels to candles and bath robes. We were very comfortable in the meticulously maintained and well decorated condo. The grounds are lush, the hot tub is warm, and the views are breathtaking. We would have liked to stay another week! Thanks, Gus!

This wonderful home made a great setting for a sisters getaway. The owners clearly put in extra thought to make sure all the details are taken care with our comfort in mind. We could truly relax because we had everything we needed. Beautifully furnished and so very comfortable! I can't wait to return!

My family and I rented this unit for the Christmas Holiday and had a wonderful experience. The owner was terrific to work with and very accomodating. The unit was festively decorated for the holiday, which was thoughtful and inviting. This is a fabulous condo, completely updated with the highest quality amenities. It looks just as good as the photos! Our two teenage boys also were thirilled with the location of the condo. The pool is steps away and heated. And the beach access is just across the street. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this unit to families or couples looking for a getaway in the Monarch Beach area.
