Peaceful getaway

This property checks all the boxes for everything you’d want for a relaxing getaway. Home and grounds are immaculate. Calm, quiet and serene and the added bonus of random wildlife makes being in or outside in the rocking chairs awesome.

This place is a gem. We had plans to explore the area but just ended up hanging out by the water, fishing, swimming and playing with kayaks and paddle boards all day. One of the most relaxing trips we've had. We will definitely be back!

Glorious tranquil get-away! Little slice of heaven

What a magical little private oasis! We loved every minute of our secluded get away... the quiet mornings, humming birds, live water and all the kayaking and paddle boarding we could squeeze in. Definitely plan on returning! Kids ages 7 and 8 couldn’t stop talking about all the simple fun we had!

Amazing Property

We throughly enjoyed our time at this property! It was a wonderful experience. The water was so clear. Fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding was great. We were so thankful for all of the amenities the property had. Watching the deer on a daily and nightly basis just out the front door was neat for the whole family. The kids are already talking about going back again!

Weekend getaway

Enjoyed our stay, house on smaller side but perfectly adequate for my husband, me and three kids. The creek is barricaded just a couple houses down on both sides so a little short for kayaking but we did enjoy playing in the cool water and reading on the patio. Water shoes might be helpful as the creek bottom by the entry is a bit rocky.

BFF’s girls trip

What a gem! Green everywhere. Serenity with nature watching the birds and squirrels from the porch. The water is crystal clear. The little fish swam around us peacefully. The house was clean and comfortable. So many good amenities. Spacious and several sitting areas. We felt rejuvenated for sure over the weekend.

Nice retreat and break for Doctor's Visit Road Trip

We stayed at Tortuga Frio on a return road trip to MD Anderson for my Dad. The property was perfect for some quality time cooking and sitting down by the water fishing with Dad. The property is well maintained, stocked with all the needed amenities and had special touches from a caring host. It is the small things sometimes; extra toilet paper, salt and pepper, coffee and a sense that the hosts want you to feel at home in their home. Thank you for sharing your home with us and helping us create memories.

Awesome Property!!

My husband, two grandsons and I had a wonderful time while staying at this property. The house had everything we needed. Sitting on the porch and watching the rain was so relaxing. The creek was so clear and beautiful. My youngest grandson spent a lot of time fishing. The oldest grandson enjoyed the paddleboard. We all loved swimming. The surrounding area is breathtaking. We voted this property as our favorite place!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

Beautiful surroundings! Crystal clear water with easy access. We spent time sitting on the porch and watching the humming birds, cardinals and squirrels. Totally private and peaceful. The house has everything you could need . Bring food and drink and you will never have to leave the property. The grandsons loved having their own bedrooms. They also loved the dependable wifi. This was our second stay at Tortuga Frio and it has become our favorite place for fun and relaxation.

Fun Times on Turtle Creek

We had the best time staying at Tortuga Frio. The home was lovely and well-stocked. The owner, Lori, was very sweet and thoughtful. The property is beautiful and we did not lack for entertainment. We caught fish after fish on the dock using a fly rod and regular fishing pole. We enjoyed exploring the creek on the paddle boards and kayak—all provided by the host. The fireflies put on quite a show for us as did the hummingbirds. Lovely, lovely time.

Outstanding

Beautiful cabin with amazing view and proximity to water. They had every amenity you could possibly need for water fun and for making you feel like you were at home. We swam, fished, paddleboarded, and spent the evenings and mornings on the porch watching birds and squirrels. We have four kids ages 9-17, and none of them were bored the whole time we were there. Our 11-year-old caught his first fish, and Mom caught a HUGE catfish! Tortuga Frio is a little slice of heaven!
