Sea Turtle Studio – Upscale Waterview Retreat, Stunning Sunrises & Full Kitchen!

I’m Heather D’Jangali, an entrepreneur, long-time Superhost, and passionate traveler who loves creating memorable experiences for guests. In 2011, I designed and built Island Charm in Culebra, inspired by the island’s breathtaking beauty and my vision for a place where travelers could relax in comfort while soaking in the Caribbean’s natural splendor.

Hospitality has always been a part of who I am, and over the years, I’ve carefully crafted each space at Island Charm to offer guests the perfect blend of modern comfort and island charm. I take pride in providing clean, stylish, and well-equipped accommodations that feel like a home away from home.

When I’m not hosting, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and helping animals—I also support Culebra’s local animal welfare efforts to find homes for stray dogs and cats. Whether you're visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, I can’t wait to welcome you to my little piece of paradise!

When I first discovered Culebra, I knew I had found something truly special—an unspoiled Caribbean paradise with world-class beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back atmosphere unlike anywhere else. That’s why, in 2011, I chose this hillside location to design and build Island Charm, perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views of Ensenada Honda, Dakiti Reef, and the sparkling Caribbean.

From here, you can sit on your private terrace and watch boats drift in and out of town, spot sea turtles surfacing for air, or take in the twinkling lights of Vieques and St. Croix on a clear night. We’re also just minutes from Flamenco Beach—one of the world’s best beaches—yet tucked away in a peaceful, private setting.

I love that guests can experience both adventure and tranquility here. You can explore hidden snorkeling spots, enjoy fresh seafood in town, or simply relax on your terrace, taking in the island breeze. It’s the best of both worlds, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Island Charm is more than just a rental property—it’s a labor of love that I designed and built in 2011, blending modern comforts with the beauty of the Caribbean. Every detail was carefully chosen to create a space that feels both luxurious and welcoming.

What makes the Seahorse Suite special is its stunning panoramic views, spacious covered terrace, and thoughtful amenities. Guests wake up to sunrises over Ensenada Honda, watch the boats at the Dinghy Dock, and even spot sea turtles from their private terrace. The two-person glider rocker is perfect for enjoying coffee in the morning or a glass of wine as the sun sets.

But what truly makes this property unique is the journey it took to bring it to life. Every detail—every piece of furniture, fixture, and décor—had to arrive in my suitcase or on a once-a-month ferry adventure. Building in Culebra came with its challenges, but the experience was incredible and life-changing. The result is a place where guests can truly escape, unwind, and experience the island’s magic while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Beyond the space itself, I take pride in offering a seamless guest experience—from beach essentials like chairs, towels, and coolers to local recommendations that help guests discover the best of Culebra. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a returning traveler, I want you to feel at home and create unforgettable memories from the moment you arrive!
