Everything for a comfy cozy stay was here!!
Impeccably decorated with the gulf coast style, Casa Tortuga offers a sweet getaway bungalow for a couple. We enjoyed the use of the excellent coffee maker, Cuisinart brand, each morning! It is located far enough from the beach to not get noise from the crowds that can drive Seawall but it was centrally located and gave us a great starting point each day for our excursions. The neighborhood was clean and quiet. We felt safe there. Greg was very nice and met us to welcome us to Galveston and Casa Tortuga. We had no issues in the reservation, payment, or deposit refund processes! Overall a lovely place to stay when visiting Galveston!! Highly recommended.
Very comfy and cozy house
We loved staying at the house. We had everything that we needed and not too far from the beach. We had a great time and the owners were very welcoming. I would highly recommend this.
Nice place will rent again.
The owners are great and the house is very nice . Does not have a bath tub but does have a large stand up shower. Its a typical 1900s type home with charm. The floors do creak but you have to expect that from a old home. Location is about 1/2 mile from seawall. great place if you plan on cooking at home. Personally i view this as a adult only house. It is in a older neighborhood. It has a long side driveway so up to 4 cars can park in driveway and off the street where they will be safe. Very nice back porch to relax on in the evening. Its a great place for people who are on the island to go fishing. Back your boat in the driveway and your good to go.
Too bad I can't give 7 stars
My wife, two kids and I stayed here for the first week of Mardi Gras. The home has loads of character, and it's well-furnished and comfortable. We received some of the best service we've had, and the location was a nice half-way point between The Strand and the Seawall. We really enjoyed our stay, and I expect we'll be dropping by again.
Perfect weekend retreat!
My family and I had a wonderful New Years weekend at Casa Tortuga! Check in/out was quick and easy. We enjoyed the TVs in every room and appreciated the extra toiletries. Thanks for a relaxing time!
Wonderful house!
All the things you need to make your stay comfortable. Like a home away from home! They’ve thought of pretty much everything.
