About this property

Beachfront! Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking on site. Turtle Casa, ENTIRE VILLA!!

Turtle Casa is a fabulous 3 story Beach Villa with each level featuring a full kitchen, living room, dining areas, bedrooms and baths. This listing is for renting the ENTIRE HOUSE - THREE FLOORS, SIX BEDROOMS, 4.5 BATHROOMS, THREE KITCHENS, TWO MASSIVE DECKS.

We have 5 additional listings on VRBO that will give you more choices for all of our 2 and 4 bedroom options to suit your needs and budget. Listing address' are provided at the bottom of this section. Please check them all out and make the choice that's the best fit for you.

Electricity is INCLUDED. We simply ask out guests to be conservative with it, as it is VERY EXPENSIVE on Roatan!

Turtle Casa will set the stage as one of the best properties you can find on Roatan for affordable and comfortable group gatherings. Everyone stays in the same Villa on 3 separate floors, but has their own private suite for quiet time and a place to unwind. There are even separate kitchens to keep mealtimes simple and easy. Traveling with a group is great fun, but you'll really appreciate having private space to retreat when desired.

Gather together for socializing in the very spacious Gaming Level (middle floor) with Billiards, Darts, Games, Bluetooth Stereo, Dining space for 12+, Projector and an expansive covered patio. Retreat to your own private suite when you want to just relax and have private time. For this reason, Turtle Casa is just ideal for Family Reunions, Destination Weddings, Missions Trips, Dive Trips, or any reason groups travel together!

WIFI: If you need to get some work done (or just like staying in touch or streaming) Turtle Casa has upgraded to the highest residential WIFI package available on-island through Fiber Optic cable. We've added a Google Mesh system to reach all corners of the large villa with excellent upload and download speeds as well.

The Villa is located in the Sandy Bay area, away from the commotion and noise of the tourist areas, and at the same time just a short drive to the best areas on the Island for public beaches, restaurants and nightlife. Our property is ideal for the traveler wanting to stay away from the crowds but close to the action. You'll appreciate the quiet at night when you're sitting out on the veranda or swinging in one of our Hammocks, watching the stars and listening to the waves crashing on the reef just offshore.

You couldn't have a better location for Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Fishing, Island excursions to Cayos Cochinos or other exotic locales and Sunset Cruises - the hallmarks of a vacation at Turtle Casa. Our next door neighbor (Capt Tim) shares our expansive dock and runs one of the most popular charter services in Roatan for deep sea/fly fishing, Island Excursions and other remote locations like Pigeon Cay and Sunset cruises. Look him up on the web at Ruthless Roatan Charters - You'll want to take advantage of an unforgettable excursion with the best service on Roatan, leaving right from your dock!

And speaking of our dock, Turtle Casa features a custom 2 level Dock, built with ocean activities and entertainment in mind. Plenty of Adirondack-style seating, hammocks and Sea Kayaks make this a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Or slide one of our kayaks down the ramp into the ocean and kayak out to the gorgeous coral reef, just off shore, for some fantastic snorkeling at Roatan's famous dive site, Spooky Channel.

The beach at Turtle Casa is within the protected area of the Roatan Marine Park. As such the shore area and shallows cannot be dredged or cleaned of sea grass and other organic matter. The result is that it is NOT a swimming beach like nearby West Bay and other public beaches, and the sea bottom is squishy and silty. This is why we provide sea kayaks and a beautiful dock for enjoying the water.

What you get at Turtle Casa is gorgeous views, sunsets that will take your breath away and world class diving/snorkeling right from our dock. And when you want that quintessential "Caribbean Beach" experience West Bay is a quick 15 min drive, with quiet and serenity to return to at the end of your day.

Have you always wanted to swim with Dolphins? The world famous Roatan Institute for Marine Science is located within walking distance from Turtle Casa at Anthony's Key. Here you can Snorkel with Dolphins, Dive with Dolphins or even become a 'Trainer for a Day'. An experience you'll never forget!

So much to do right on site - AND away from all the crowds.

And then there's Turtle Casa's spectacular deck's overlooking the Ocean; my favorite place to swing in the hammock's every morning with a cup of coffee or watch the unbelievably gorgeous Caribbean sunsets!

Lastly, Turtle Casa provides a garage with automatic doors and a full size washer/dryer for your convenience at no charge.

Now let's move inside and I'll describe each of Turtle Casa's 3 private suite's in detail:

If you would like to check out our other 2 or 4 bedroom options, please see the bottom of this section for direct links.

The Penthouse Suite, 2BR/2Bath - The top floor of Turtle Casa, THE PENTHOUSE, features wood floors, fine furnishings from Bali and central America, well equipped kitchen with granite counters, a fine dining table for 6, a very large covered veranda with loungers, hammocks, gas grill and an outdoor dining set for 4. This suite is geared for the more discriminating travelers with 2 large Master Bedrooms, each with it's own private master bath. Master Bedroom 1 features a King size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a beautiful mosaic rock shower with dual "rain" style shower heads. Master Bedroom 2 features a queen size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a shower/tub combination. The Penthouse is our most sophisticated and luxurious suite, offering spectacular unimpeded sunset and ocean views.

The Gaming Suite, 2BR/1.5 Bath - Gather together for socializing and fun in the very spacious middle Gaming Suite featuring Billiards, Darts, Games, Books, a Projector, Stereo and an expansive covered patio. This suite is all about sharing good times with family and friends! It features a large covered veranda with hammocks, loungers, gas grill and an outdoor dining set for 6. Inside you'll find a fine 6 person dining set, expansive living room/game room with 1/2 bath, full kitchen with all appliances and granite counters, even a wine chiller! The 2 Queen bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Without a doubt, this is where your group will spend most of it's time together and it's got what you need.

The Beach Suite, 2BR/1Bath - The Beach Suite is the ground level of Turtle Casa and provides our most economical accommodations. It is smaller in size than the Gaming/Penthouse levels as it shares it's floor space with the 2 car garage. But it still provides 2 good size bedrooms (1 queen/1double), a living room/dining room, full kitchen (half sized fridge) with granite counter tops and a full bathroom. It has a large outdoor seating area just a few steps to the Beach with loungers and hammock.

If you choose to come vacation with us, let us take care of the details so your vacation is smooth and easy. We LOVE helping guests!! We can recommend excellent Concierge services, Drivers, Tours, and a great Chef!!

We're really proud of what we've created with Turtle Casa and hope you'll choose to stay with us. Here's a quick list to recap our amenities:

We recently stayed at the Turtle Casa with 3 other couples. We had such a fantastic time, the accommodations were perfect. We had three floors with plenty of rooms and bathroom for all. We also had a daily visit from our new best friend a cat we named Tony who is a black and white cat that looks like he’s wearing a toupee. He helped make us all feel welcomed to our place. It’s close to many restaurants and bars. It’s definitely a great vacation spot!

We absolutely LOVED this property! Marnie was a great host. Very easy to communicate with, always responded quickly to our questions. The check-in video was a very nice little touch, that made the whole process very easy.Everyone at the property we met were so friendly. Paul the groundskeeper was there everyday, and was so pleasant. Taylor came by to fix the hammocks one day, and we had such a great conversation with him. Just the friendliest guy ever!Ended up booking a charter with Tim nextdoor. I highly recommend spending a day with the Ruthless crew! Got to kayak out to the reef every morning, and enjoy sunsets from the deck before relaxing in hammocks for the evening.Everything on the property was exactly as we expected. It lives up to the listing and the reviews! We cant wait to come back and stay again.I hope we were as good of guests as the welcome we felt here!

Great stay in Roatan

My family of 9 stayed for a week and had a great time at Turtle Casa. We loved having access to kayaks and the reef was just a swim away from the dock for snorkeling. We booked all three floors of the house and had more than enough space for all of us. We ended up renting cars and felt that was helpful since we didn't feel comfortable walking on the main road required to get to the Sandy Bay town center. That being said, there were a lot of restaurants and other attractions a short drive away. Marnie was very responsive and helpful to any questions we had and would definitely stay again!

Unfortunately, we had a very bad week of weather, but there is nothing that the owner Marnie and staff cold do about that. Marnie and Taylor(maintenance) responded quickly at all times. We rented the whole house. The home was lovely and I am not going to give any less than the 5 stars. I just think future renters should be aware that the gaming level has a resident cat that we could not get rid of. The cat was constantly on the porch; you had to watch when opening the screen door. And you certainly couldn't have a meal on the deck without the cat wanting to jump up on you. Cat hair on the cushions. I think this is a problem because past renters have feed the cat. Future renters that have cat allergies may really have a problem. I don't know if anything can be done about the cat. We are all animal lovers but could have been nicer without it. The house was well equipped.

Amazing vacation rental in Roatan...

This property is amazing and was a perfect fit for our party of 11. Communication with Marnie was great and her recommendations were spot on. We used Sandy Bay Divers for all our diving excursions, Ruthless Charters for a deep sea fishing trip and chef Jennie to cook our catch. The house offers privacy away from the busy West End tourist area but is only a short drive away for when you want those activities. I highly recommend this house for your Roatan vacation!

Small family trip for our anniversary vow ceremony

Couldn't have found a more perfect place for our group of 12! The house was spotless! Had PLENTY of room and privacy for everyone. Was stocked with any and everything you would need. It's clear how much Marnie and her crew care about their guests and your experience while at their property. We had a rough time getting to RTB because of bad storms across the US, half of our group got delayed a day in Dallas, and Marnie was so attentive and checked on us throughout our whole logistical nightmare we were experiencing. I could go on and on about how great of an experience staying with Marnie was!

Turtle Casa is the ABSOLUTE best!!

Turtle Casa was absolutely amazing! We cannot wait to go back. Each level of the home was very well stocked. Lots of towels to use for the beach. Even some extra snorkel equipment in the garage. But the thing that put it over the top was Marnie! She did such a great job communicating information to us, giving us and helping us with recommendations of things to do and places to go. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all her help and guidance. We had two families traveling, and it was an absolute blast to all be together and get to stay at the same house. We really enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking; and some fishing right from the dock. This house and the people running it literally made it one of our best stays of anywhere we’ve ever been

Unforgettable vacation!

I travel a lot with my friends and I've been in many countries and rented many houses. I would give 10 stars to Kevin and Claire for their warm welcome and an excellent service! We loved the location - close to town and yet away from roads and crowds. Snorkeling was amazing, we used kayaks during the day, but also did night snorkeling just across the house. We have rented top 2 floors and enjoyed beautiful sunset views. Desiree, our concierge had reserved a private chef for our group (10 people) - and dinner was delicious and beautifully decorated. We loved it so much, we had asked for another dinner to be arranged! House had everything we needed. Overall, we had great, unforgettable vacation and seriously considering coming back next year!

Mostly Wonderful. Beach leaves something to be desired

We got this property, all 3 floors, for 8 adults and 4 kids (2 sibling pairs).There was plenty of space for everyone, with the siblings sharing a bedroom. Pool table on the middle floor and darts were great. We had plenty of space to cook, both kitchens were well stocked. It's an easy walk to one of the better supermarkets, and there's decent places to eat around. As advertised, our fishing charter and SCUBA shop picked us up from the dock every morning.I will admit that we came at the end of a long storm cycle, and that the caretaker did try really hard to keep up with the trash and detritus at the beach, but it is not a nice sandy beach as one would expect. The snorkeling is decent right off the dock, it is a little swim to get out there. LOVE that there are kayaks on site. Overall it's pretty great, but if you want to spend a ton of time on a white sandy beach, this is not the place for you.

Great location for a family vacation.

This property is located in a neighborhood, away from the tourist areas. It is on the beach with wonderfully easy access to the reef- just a quick swim. The reef is in wonderful condition and it is well worth the trouble of bringing your own snorkel gear as you'll want to go out multiple times. We rented the entire house and had plenty of room for our family of 7 adults with multiple bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. It was great to hang out on the decks, eat together and enjoy the hammocks. We fished with Tim and Michelle next door, went diving with Sea Divers Roatan, played with dolphins at Anthony Keys Resort, all within walking distance of the house. Several restaurants were within walking distance as well. Do make time for a wonderful meal at Roatan Oasis. We rented a large van and it just fit into the garage with the mirrors folded in. The house is gated and the management company was great at check in showing us the location and how to access the property.

Awesome Stay at Turtle Casa

We were a group of 10 (two families with three young adult sons and their girlfriends). We rented the whole house and had PLENTY of room. The house was well stocked with beach towels, kitchen items, games, lounge chairs, washer/dryer, kayaks, etc. Marnie was SUPER helpful before and during our stay making sure we understood the immigration forms, providing us with helpful tips on groceries and info about the house, and making sure the house met our expectations upon arrival. The house was very clean and is well maintained. During our stay we booked a fishing charter with Ruthless Roatan (literally next door/shared dock) and had a great trip! Sandy Bay is a bit off of the grid, which was perfect for us as we were anxious to avoid the cruise ship crowds. We rented two cars at the airport and did not have any issues getting around the island. I/we would recommend Turtle Casa to friends!

Wanted to stay all summer!

This property, location, and hosts were more than we could have asked for. We had 8 of us, including two 9 year olds and used all three floors. The setup was perfect. And we had more than enough amenities. Marnie was also very quick to respond and give helpful guidance if needed. We did almost all of our meals at the house and found the kitchens well stocked - even with an assortment of spices. (Eldon’s is the place to shop and note that the house has grocery bags in the kitchen that you can use and save a few dollars.) And the location was phenomenal. Using the kayaks (or even swimming) to go out and snorkel was very easy. There is some really nice snorkeling straight out from the house. Nonetheless, a little to the east (straight out from the orange house) is top world class snorkeling at Spooky Channel. We swam there at least 6 times, and every time left amazed and having seen something new. Also snorkeled at Hall Moon Bay - which was fine but didn’t compare with Spooky Channel. And we snorkeled at West Bay Beach. The beach there is beautiful and the snorkeling was incredible here too and yet very different from near the house - highlights were the green moray eel and the eagle ray. Was planning on this being a once in a lifetime trip but we might actually try to come back - and if we do, Turtle Casa will be our place to go!

AMAZING

What an amazing place! I highly recommend Turtle Casa in Sandy Bay. Check in was smooth and very courteous. Lots of communication with the owners. This house is fabulous for business trips, family get aways or just one of the floors. We just spent 10 days here with our family. We rented the whole place so spacious never felt like we were on top of each other. Decorated so beautifully very relaxing atmosphere . Waking up each morning to this beautiful view and watching sunsets from the deck each night. We had 10 adults 3 children. Each floor has their own kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms . Super clean and kept up meticulously. Each kitchen totally equipped for cooking. Grills on every deck. Washer and dryer in garage. If your a diver close to spooky channel. They have kayaks to use to paddle out to reefs for awesome snorkeling. Swimming with dolphins close by as well.Water taxis pick you up off the dock for diving, snorkeling or fishing. They have driving and cooking services which we used that were incredible. Thank you Frankie and Jenny. We took water taxi to West bay a few times and had driver pick us up. It was nice to be out of the hustle and bustle touristy part which we loved. Really loved location of the house felt really safe. Thank you Mark and Katie for letting our family share your place . We created memorable moments.

Great trip with friends

From long before our stay to well after, the communication with Marnie was great. She went out of her way to make sure we had all the answers we needed before arriving. We enjoyed great food from Chef Jennie that she recommended. Amazing sunsets from the dock. Great snorkeling using the kayaks. Johney was very accommodating along the way. After it was all over Marnie made sure we were happy and also sought feedback on companies we used to further improve her future guests experience. Top notch service in a beautiful place.

Terrific choice!

We loved our 2 week stay here with a party of 8! We rented all three floors and found this to be the perfect retreat and home base for our Roatan vacation. The owners arranged for someone to meet us in person at check in and show us everything personally. The house was amazing - plenty of room, great views, full kitchen on every floor. We used the private dock almost every day to kayak to some great snorkeling spots or just bask in the sun. We even left right from the dock for a day trip with the charter service that operates next door. All in all, a wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Marnie Paffenroth

Host profile image
As a five-star host I can honestly say that I love making our guests happy! I love going above and beyond to help guests feel comfortable and confident, not only in my properties, but also in an area they are visiting. I love recommending places and activities I've found to be exceptional, and I love when guests find my homes a "Small Slice of Heaven on Earth".

As the Managing Owner, I work closely with Mark and Katie Waller, original owners of Turtle Casa (and great Partners), my husband Scott, a pilot with AA (which makes flying back and forth easy) and our awesome Property Manager, Johney. We are all here to make your time on Roatan truly exceptional!

Why they chose this property

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. We specifically chose Turtle's Casa's location because it's quiet and away from the hussle and bussle of the tourist areas.

And there's plenty to do right at the house. Our Dive partner will pick you up for diving right from the dock. Our next door neighbor runs a Deep Sea/Fly Fishing/Island Excursion business which is also based from our dock. The sea kayaking and snorkeling right in front of the house is some of the best to be found on the island with the reef just offshore.

There are beautiful beaches on Roatan that you can go to and not see another soul for hours. There is also the great commercial districts with great restaurants, beautiful beaches and lots of activities. We also Love that the Island is mountainous and covered with tropical rainforest.

Roatan is an Island experience that you'll want to come back for again and again. There's just so much to see and do!

What makes this property unique

Turtle Casa makes you feel like you're on a luxury yacht when you're on the large covered decks or in the living areas of the home. The wall of windows facing the Ocean bring the spectacular view and sunsets right into your living room. It is truly a spectacular experience to swing in the hammocks in the early morning hours or during sunset, listening to the ocean and feeling the breeze. And you'll be glad to have the quiet Turtle Casa provides being located in a small local neighborhood away from the tourist frenzy.
