This was the most perfect house we could have rented. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood far from tourists. It is well equipped with everything you need to stay in and cook, which we did several times. The house is 1 door down from The Real Kings & about 4 from The Jolly Octopus (our favorite restaurant in all of Roatan)....perfect location for eating! It was even close enough for us to walk down the beach to Anthony’s Key to dive with the dolphins. We rented the entire house and had plenty of room for 10 people. Everyone loved the pool table & we spent many nights inside playing pool & cards. Throughout the week, we dove with Octopus Dive School (thoroughly recommend). They picked us up and dropped us off everyday at the dock...super convenient. The reef is directly in front of the house and my family enjoyed the use of the kayaks when exploring it. Everything was perfect and we can’t wait to visit Turtle Casa again!

My husband and I have stayed at this property every year for the last 5 years. You can see the improvements they have made over time. We have stayed by ourselves, with another couple and with a group up to 16 people. For large groups it is perfect because everyone has their own space but then there is also enough space to gather and relax in the gaming suite. As a couple it is perfect because the area feels safe and not "touristy" even though there are English speakers all around. There is a small store down the dirt road where you can buy 5 gallon bottles of water for the dispenser and snacks, and a small restaurant, Jolly Octopus, that cooks fresh to order, all within a quick walking distance just a few houses down. The balconies on each level offers amazing views of sunsets and sparkling stars, the dock takes you past the turtle grass, and the kayaks are available to explore. You do need to have transportation to get to the grocery store and the tourist areas of West End and West Bay. It isn't a far drive and is perfectly situated between the American style grocery store, Eldon's, in Coxen Hole and the little restaurants of West End, plus a nice water taxi from West End can take you right to West Bay. We have never had to bring anything with us to add to the comfort of the home. The kitchen is nicely stocked, there is a blow dryer, plenty of towels, a washer and dryer and each floor has a safe for valuables. The management company is easily accessible through messaging on WhatsApp. We had a problem with the garage door at one point (there is a locked gate and a garage to park your car) and Liz with the management company responded quickly via WhatsApp.

I stayed at Turtle Casa with friends in April and we had a fabulous time! The home has been extensively updated recently which made the stay even more enjoyable. Very comfortable beds and nice quality linens, towels and pillows (a must for me!). The Penthouse is really sweet and has the feel of a very expensive hotel. The gaming suite was terrific for congregating together and having fun in the evenings. The large covered decks on all levels with loungers and hammocks made mornings and evenings really pleasurable for relaxing and just taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean and sunsets. We rented a car so having the garage was also a real bonus, keeping our car safe and cool. Turtle Casa is in a local island neighborhood, away from the tourist areas, and the local people were quite friendly. We enjoyed this aspect as West End and West Bay are quite busy and noisy - lot's of fun for night life and going to the beach during the day, but nice to retire to Turtle Casa in the evening where we could enjoy the peace and quiet of the ocean (there were the occasional local dogs barking, but all in all it is quite peaceful and quiet). All of the activities we were interested in were very close to the house so it was never a big inconvenience to make the short trip to all the places we wanted to see. All in all I highly recommend Turtle Casa for anyone considering Roatan for their next vacation, particularly if you're interested in snorkeling, diving or fishing. The kayaks were great and the snorkeling out in front of the house was some of the best we found on the island. Diving operators will pick you up right at the dock and the next door neighbor has a fabulous fishing charter as well. His sunset cruise was amazing and all we had to do was walk out the door and get on the boat! Thanks again for a great trip. We hope to visit the island again and will definitely stay at Turtle Casa!

This house was perfect for our 15 person family reunion this July. We rented all 3 floors. Being right on the water is great - and the docks and porches were used daily. The house itself was big enough for us all - we did use the hide-a-bed couches for sleeping. We cooked nearly all our breakfasts and dinners in the second floor kitchen (and BBQ) and used the other floor's kitchen's refrigerators for storing all the food we ate. After each scuba session, we cleaned up with the outside shower. The house is plenty big for all us to visit, shoot pool, relax, and enjoy the view. We did use the kayaks to snorkel in the reef just beyond the dock (our dive shop took us scuba diving here too). If our family were to return to Roatan, we would definitely make this our first housing choice. C. Brenner

Turtle Casa was great. We stayed in the Penthouse suite, which has a large deck that overlooks the caribbean. The sunsets are amazing. During the day it’s a great place for lounging in the hammocks. There are two bedrooms - the “master” suite and the “guest suite”. I stayed in the guest suite, which has it’s own bathroom with double sinks, shower/tub, and toilet. The only difference I found between the two bedrooms was the master had a king size bed. My bed was very comfortable (I’m going to see if I can find the brand when I get home). Our friends stayed in the Gaming Suite, which is just below us. This is a great space too, with the same large deck facing the sea and lots of windows. The pool table is in great shape, and I had fun with the electronic dart board. The house is very solidly constructed, which meant that we really didn’t hear any noise coming from below, even though our friends had 2 small, energetic children. When I travel to foreign countries, I like a combination of eating out and cooking my own meals using local ingredients. I found the kitchen was equipped with pretty much anything I needed (make sure to get spices at the store, as there were only the basics when I arrived). When we felt like going out for dinner or lunch, West End, with all it’s restaurants and night life, is less than a 10 minute drive. We had a car, and I highly recommend having one anywhere you stay on the island - there is so much to see! But if you want to use a taxi the property managers have special drivers they can hook you up with. Another thing that’s important for me is “chill” space: I like to hang out and do touristy things, but I also love a peaceful spot to retreat to - Turtle Casa was perfect for that. The dock is cool for hanging out, swiming, boating, or catching water taxis. There are fishing guides that run their operation from there! I brought my fly fishing equipment, and found out that Sandy Bay is actually one of the better spots on the island for Bonefish and Permit. I caught 3 bonefish *right in front of the house* - the first was almost six pounds! My friend’s daughter had a blast catching reef fish right off the dock. There’s also kayaks which guests are free to use at any time. We went to Spooky Channel daily, which has amazing snorkeling (it’s just a 5 minute row!). I could have hung out at the house exclusively and did all the snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and relaxing that I wanted. It was just GREAT.
