Villa Tortuga: Ocean Views Chef Included, Daily Housekeeping & Concierge Service
Welcome to Villa Tortuga, a luxury ocean-view vacation villa in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, where personalized service, breathtaking wildlife, and unforgettable sunsets create the perfect tropical getaway.
Designed for families, couples traveling together, milestone celebrations, and small groups, Villa Tortuga comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests in 4 bedrooms. A private 5th bedroom Casita with its own bathroom can be added for an additional $85 per night, increasing occupancy to 12 guests.
One of the things that sets Villa Tortuga apart is our dedicated villa team. Unlike many vacation rentals that charge extra for chef services, Villa Tortuga includes a dedicated chef, daily housekeeping, and personal concierge service to help make your vacation effortless.
Chef Ricardo is available exclusively for Villa Tortuga guests and prepares breakfast and dinner Monday through Saturday. His chef services are included in your rental rate whether you choose to use them or not. Guests who enjoy chef-prepared meals pay only for groceries, which are purchased based on their preferences and paid directly to the store.
Meals are customized around your group's preferences, dietary restrictions, allergies, and special occasions. If your group prefers to dine out, cook for yourselves, or use Chef Ricardo's services only occasionally, that is completely your choice. There is no requirement to purchase groceries or utilize chef services during your stay, and the rental rate remains the same whether you use the chef or not.
Hisolda provides daily housekeeping service, ensuring the villa remains clean, comfortable, and ready for you to enjoy throughout your stay.
Jessica, your personal concierge, is available before and during your vacation to assist with rental cars, airport transportation, grocery pre-stocking, private spa services, massages, fishing charters, catamaran cruises, zip-lining adventures, ATV tours, restaurant reservations, special celebrations, and much more. From the moment you book until the day you depart, Jessica is there to help create a seamless Costa Rica experience.
Please note that Chef Ricardo and Hisolda arrive daily to provide services and then depart, allowing guests complete privacy to enjoy the villa.

About the host
Hosted by Jackie Morris
Villa Tortuga has been a dream of ours since we first got married. Well, at least the idea of owning property within close proximity of the ocean was. Being from the landlocked state of Oklahoma, our visits to the beach came in the form of family vacations, most often to Florida or Mexico. In 2011 our family decided to take our Christmas trip to Costa Rica. Immediately we fell in love with the nature, the culture, and the people. Costa Rica is unlike any place in the world. For us, it was just developed enough to be comfortable, but untouched enough to remain a idillic paradise. After 3 years of Christmas vacations spent in Manuel Antonio, our family decided to take the plunge and buy property on our favorite street! We are taking every measure possible to make this home feel like a dream vacation home, and we hope that your family will enjoy it as much as ours does!
Why they chose this property
Villa Tortuga has undergone quite the facelift. While it wasn't the prettiest one on the block, we saw the potential in her. Her views are unmatched by any house on the same street. In July 2014, we unveiled the brand new, fully renovated Villa Tortuga. Every tile, every wall, every faucet and fixture has been replaced. And while she maintains her glorious spot high upon the hill (her best feature), that's about all that remains of the former Villa. She's quite the looker now! Throughout the years we have continued to improve upon Villa Tortuga by adding deck space, building our Agua Vida Spa, and additional Suite, and continued grounds maintenance.
What makes this property unique
You can see the ocean from almost everyone room in the house. The house has been engineered for plenty of privacy, so while there are neighbors close by, you will feel like you are in your own private paradise.
