Casa Tortuga is a Secluded Villa on a Private Beach

Casa Tortuga beckons those seeking tranquility, seclusion, and serenity amidst 180 feet of private beachfront! Nestled in the idyllic Frank Sound on the southern shore of Grand Cayman, this villa boasts an unrivaled position on a stunning south-facing beach, offering captivating vistas of the Caribbean Sea that reaffirm the existence of paradise.

This single-level home offers guests three generously sized bedrooms, each accompanied by an ensuite bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious living/dining area—all conveniently situated on the ground level. Abundant natural light floods the interiors through sliding doors and large windows, while the gentle sea breezes invite you to open up and revel in the refreshing coastal air. Outside, the inviting gazebo and tropical breezes create an irresistible ambiance for al fresco dining, morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or sunset cocktails, ensuring relaxation throughout the day.

True to its name, Casa Tortuga pays homage to the owner's fondness for turtles, reflected in the unique décor and furnishings that adorn the home. Catering to various guest configurations, whether a small family, a group of friends, or couples seeking privacy and relaxation, Casa Tortuga offers a welcoming retreat for all.

Set upon a fenced-in 2-acre plot, the home boasts a winding driveway flanked by lush coconut trees leading to the entrance. Surrounded by verdant tropical gardens and mere steps from the tranquil Caribbean Sea, guests can indulge in some of the island's finest snorkeling, with the chance of encountering a graceful turtle or two. Following a day of aquatic adventures, unwind by the poolside, soaking in the warmth of the tropical breezes. A gas BBQ stands ready for the designated chef to grill up freshly caught fish, readily available from local fishermen. Please note that a groundskeeper resides in a small cottage on the premises, ensuring privacy for guests during their stay.

For those seeking further exploration, the historic enclave of Bodden Town lies just 10 minutes away, offering charm and personality amidst traditional homes and a vibrant fish hut. Venture northeast to Rum Point for its renowned beach bar, or head east to East End, a quaint residential area with delightful restaurants and beachside bars. Alternatively, journey west to bustling George Town and Seven Mile Beach, boasting pristine coastlines, shopping plazas, water sports, entertainment, and an array of spectacular dining options.

Peaceful getaway
This beautiful gem in the East End had everything we needed for a relaxing and much needed 40th birthday getaway! Positioned between Rum Point and 7 mile beach it gave us the ability to enjoy the entire Cayman island instead of just one small portion of it. Ms Lisa the property manager was absolutely a gem, very easy to contact should we need her. At the end of the stay there was some confusion on my part where to drop of the property key, and she can met us at the airport to come get it. Would recommend this place to anyone needing that perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of their fast paced life!

Secluded and Low Key Cayman
Casa Tortuga was the perfect home base for our Cayman Christmas vacation!!! As advertised, the home is secluded with a private beach and pool. We loved that there were paddle boards and a kayak available for use. You can snorkel in the sound behind the house. The owners have provided everything you need to cook a meal and feel at home during your stay. Including snorkel gear and extra beach towels. Several reviews refer to the beach area being ‘dirty’ and I would describe this as more of a natural beach feel. If you’re looking for the pristine sand beaches without some grass in the water, you may want to stay elsewhere. We thought it was beautiful and enjoyed how private and quiet this spot was - away from the hustle and bustle. Plenty of room to spread out in the living and kitchen. Would definitely recommend renting a car if you want to go shopping or out to eat. There aren’t many options close to the house. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets views from the gazebo and relaxing in the pool. My only suggestion for improvement would be to replace the pillows for all of the bedrooms. They are quite worn and uncomfortable- that’s not really a matter of preference. I read a response from the property management from early 2023 saying the bedding was going to be updated but that had not occurred by the time of our stay for Christmas 2023. If you’re really particular about your bedding - just bring your own.

The week’s stay at Casa Tortuga
The location is excellent in relation to being on the water, and it is recommended you rent a car if you expect to go out for dinner or seeing the sights. The pool is nice and heated, however we had to call the pool company as the heater stopped working which was apparently due to a lack of maintenance. The grounds are adequate but again in need of general upkeep as we saw trash near the gazebo and behind the pool. The house is nice but in some need of updating or repair ie microwave, knobs on stove, refrigerator ice maker etc. No one came by all week to check on how we were or if we needed anything. As we have stayed in properties in the USA, Mexico, and Europe, this one would not be on the top of the list. For the price i would overall recommend seeking another venue.

Great villa, beautiful beach!
Casa Tortuga was perfect for my family of 4 - myself, my husband and our older teen daughters. We had plenty of space and the beach was gorgeous. Made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards. Recommend bringing snorkeling gear if you have it (the house did have enough for 2 people) because there is lots to see right off the beach. The location is great in that every part of the island is no more than a 40 minute drive, and it's quiet and peaceful. The only drawback was when we wanted to go out but didn't feel like driving - there really is nothing nearby. We didn't need much during our stay as everything was in order, but for the couple requests we did have, the caretaker and property manager were extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend Casa Tortuga.

Great Weekend Getaway
6 of us (3 couples) spent a long weekend at Casa Tortuga. The property was a great place to hang out and relax. The beach area, pool and gazebo were all well used, as were the kayaks and paddleboards. The kitchen is large and equipped with everything we needed.

Family Vacation
Casa Tortuga was exactly as pictured and described. It was the perfect place for us to stay with our 2 grown daughters/partners. Everyone had their own space and then large comfortable common areas both inside and out. The house was clean and well stocked. The pool was wonderful and the beach was well enjoyed. I would highly recommend it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Could have been a lot better
Great place to stay if you don’t plan on going outside to enjoy the beach. Inside was okay. Glass coffee & end tables were dirty. Outside chair cushions were brought inside & couch was all sandy. Outside-everything in disarray. Water balloon fragments all over, table & chairs in cabana were messy, shovel laying on the ground, blow-up canoe & paddleboards were just thrown around, one paddleboard was broken, beach was littered with garbage (soda can, shoe, quart of motor oil). Sargassum had not been cleaned out & there was no clear access to the water. Beach had not been raked & it looked dirty. Hammock was broken & so were all of the lounge chairs. The nice brown wicker lounge chairs pictured in ad were not the ones there. Pool was nice, but umbrella & float were broken. Gas grill had been left on and was gross, even after housekeeping came & cleaned it up. We did complain about the beach & the groundskeeper came over at 10:30pm & cleaned off the sidewalk & patio (which we already swept), then spent 30 mins clearing out the 10ft section of beach that was promised in the paperwork. Next morning we were shocked to see a 5ft section that had been barely cleared. We never got in the water. I understand sargassum is a problem, but neighbor’s beach was cleared, raked & looked amazing. With a bit more attention, Casa Tortuga could once again look like the pictures online. We did get one night refunded, but it did not make up for the terrible experience we had as first-time visitors.

Great Home, The Best Location
Basically a private beach home, only saw one or two people a day walking, otherwise complete privacy. Easy to get to Seven Mile Beach or Rum Point, best restaurants are east 5 minutes (Tukka). Manager let us stay longer for checkout which was very nice. The others reviews were accurate in that bedding and cleaning could use more upgrades but, that seems minor, the party was outside.
