About this villa rental
Thank you for your interest in staying at Tortuga! Tortuga is a villa located at Fairway Courts, a gated community at the heart of the world-renowned Palmas del Mar, a beach resort and golf course nested on the southeast corner of the island in the town of Humacao, Puerto Rico. Palmas del Mar is located about 45-50 minutes from San Juan International Airport.
The villa has ample room, a very spacious living space with high ceilings, a master bedroom and a guestroom. The master bedroom has a sliding door with access to the terrace/balcony. The guest bedroom is actually a lockout room with a kitchenette and has it's own bathroom. There are 2 full beds in the guest room. The villa can sleep 4-6 people comfortably.
From the balcony you get a serene view of a pond and neatly kept lawn dotted by tall palm trees. The pond has actual real wildlife in it (such as turtles, fish, birds). Turtle translated to Spanish is Tortuga, hence the name of this villa.
Being at the heart of Palmas del Mar, Fairway Courts is located within walking distance to many of the resort's amenities:
1. Golf Course, the villa is located between the 5th and 9th holes on one of the two championship 18-holes golf courses inside Palmas del Mar. The villa even comes equipped with its own parking spot for a golf cart. For Golf cart rentals please contact me for more info.
2. Tennis Club, the largest tennis facility in the whole Caribbean (20 courts in total; 2 artificial grass Omni Courts, 4 Har-Tru clay courts and 14 hard courts, many of which are lighted for night play. Fun fact: you can actually see some of the courts from the villa's balcony. Use the guest's keycard to access the tennis courts from Fairway Courts.
3. Windham Garden Hotel & Casino, the hotel is down the street from Fairway Courts, an easy walk or 1-minute drive.
4. the beach, it is also within walking distance or a short drive (there are more than 2 miles long of sandy beach). Use the guest's keycard to access the beach from the Fairway Courts, there's no need to drive. The beach is approximately about 10 mins walk.

The villa is gorgeous. Everything is set up for a perfect vacation. Modern, clean, quiet, safe, beautiful. Gorgeous pool. Alexa plays your favorite music :))
Carlos and Serge are very fast with communication via text or emails. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and many many thanks for allowing the late check out.! This was my best VRBO experience (and I travel a lot). Planning to return for another 10 days in paradise!

Classy Place for a great price!
I loved loved LOVED this place! It was so much nicer in person than pictures. The complex it's on, Fairway Courts, is so nicely kept. I was amazed as soon as you walk into the Tortuga Beach House. The beds were comfortable, the living room was really nice, and I loved the outdoor space. The kitchen had everything you needed. I didn't get the cable to work, but I was able to stream movies and shows on the TVs APP content. I would say however that the condo may not be baby friendly, a lot of fancy breakable decorations, that I had to move out of the way of a very curious 1, and 3 year old, but we made it work. I would definitely recommend this beach house to my family and friends, and will definitely try to stay here in the future if available.

A great vacation in a great villa!
Our villa was an ideal “headquarters” for our week-long vacation in Puerto Rico. It has a huge living room and dining area with a very nice TV, on which we were able to watch all of the games of our beloved Boston Red Sox in the evenings. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glasses, cookware and utensils, so we were able to cook breakfast and a few odd meals over our week. When we needed something, Carlos the owner immediately jumped in to respond - once for a missing bottle opener, and when the toaster handle jammed, Carlos had a new one express-shipped and toasting our bagels only a day later!
The bedrooms are both spacious and very comfortable - I don’t know what it was about the mattress, but it was just right. The master bedroom has a sliding door out to a huge, nicely furnished balcony overlooking a pond full of turtles and other wildlife. It was great to go out there while it rained and just relax!
We didn’t spend much time anywhere else inside Palmas del Mar, but there is a shopping area we went to once, and the grounds are certainly beautiful! Watch for iguanas (big ones), co-qui frogs (well, listen for them), and what looked like a white cockatoo that seems to live in the neighborhood. The night skies are great also, thanks to the clear air!
I really am glad I booked with Carlos, and would definitely do so again!

The pictures do not do it justice, great place to stay!!!
We were a little concerned staying after the hurricane not know if the place would be as presented. But the place was better than we could have hoped for. My wife expressed that she felt like she was staying in a spa resort! In a great area close to the pool and accommodations were excellent! Everything you need. The owner contacted us quickly and sent a welcome packet with all the information we needed as soon as we booked. Directions brought us straight to the location. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks

The Tortuga Villa was everything we could of asked for!
My family and I had a wonderful trip to Puerto Rico and this is primarily due to where we stayed! We enjoyed our stay at the Tortuga Villa in Palmas Del Mar that Carlos graciously let us stay in. We loved how everything in the Villa was clean and organized. There was so much attention to detail! From having cold champagne ready as soon as we arrived to having tons of pool towels ready to use and a variety of menus to local restaurants for us to choose from! It is located in a very quiet, safe and relaxing area of Palmas which allowed us to have the most relaxing time we have had as a family. The Villa was beautiful with modern furniture, great natural lighting and fantastic amenities. We enjoyed being so close to the pool which surprisingly, was never crowded or loud. Having a washer/dryer helped keep our bathing suits ready for whenever we wanted to go for a swim. Having wifi made things easier for us and the kids. We especially appreciate Carlos' thorough communication prior to our trip and how easy it was to reach him once we were there. We were so grateful when he agreed to let us stay an additional night towards the end of our trip! Again, thank you very much for helping to make our trip an enjoyable experience. We will most definitely recommend The Tortuga Villa to anyone who is planning a trip to Puerto Rico. Gracias!

Great stay at the Tortuga
Newly remodeled condo is well appointed and tastefully decor with top of the line accessories. About 15 mins walk to the ocean beach and pool right at the unit. Love the patio area to relax after dinner. The unit is well equipped with beach chairs. Full size appliances and plenty of kitchen needs. However, you might want to provide some bake ware or cookie sheets.
