Very lovely home
This property was amazing. I enjoyed the delicate touches added to make me feel at home. Kitchen was very well stocked and had everything I needed to enjoy my week in Galveston. Even amidst construction and very large mosquitos, I felt at home every time I opened the door.
Plenty of towels, dishes, and much more. Perfect for a weekend or a week long stay with access to the beach.
Hi Cherlyne,
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Casa Tortuga! We appreciate you taking such good care of the home and leaving it tidy and clean. We regret the road construction was an inconvenience. It will hopefully be done soon.
Thanks, Greg and Don
Lovely well-appointed house
Casa Tortuga was comfortable, quiet and well appointed. Towels and bedding were good quality. The kitchen is well equipped, the neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible to both the beach as well as the Strand.
Barbara and her family were wonderful guests! Good communication and left the home very clean and tidy.
We definitely welcome them back anytime!
Absolutely Perfect!
The property was clean and fully stocked. The owners were extremely nice and helpful. The house seems to be some what centrally located. We were able to get to attractions pretty quickly. Neighborhood is safe. However neighbors love outdoor music. But didn’t bother us at all. Will rebook!
The Moore Family were excellent guests! Very friendly, took great care of the home and left it spotless. We definitely recommend them and hope to welcome them back again soon!
Favorite spit in Galveston
This was our family’s second stay at Casa Tortuga and it was just as great as the first. The check in/check out process is simple, the house is always well stocked and clean, and a great location. We look forward to our next stay!
Great choice!
This home felt very comfortable and cozy. It was not overly spacious. It was actually very nice and neatly set up. I looked forward to going home to it each night we were there.
Jean and her family were great guests! We definitely recommend welcome them back anytime. Good communications and the home was spotless.
Thanks Jean!
