Turtle Casa Island Beach Villa Near Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences
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. Walk out the door and have your party picked up right at the end of our dock for all of these activities! 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 to Cayos Cochinos 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. And your diving/fishing/excursion operators all can pick you up right there without having to leave the property!
Or slide one of our kayaks down the easy 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.
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:

The Beach Suite, 2BR/1Bath - The Beach Suite is the ground level of Turtle Casa and provides our most economical accommodations.
