Amazing

We loved staying at La Tortuga! It had all the comforts of home and was spacious for 6 adults! We will be back! Our only complaint was there weren't any trash bags to be found and 1 bag for 4 days and 6 people wasn't enough.

Birthday shortcation

I was so impressed, the listening doesn't give this place justice. The check in process was straight and to the point. Plenty of rm for everyone and the beds were perfect fot a good night's sleep. It reminds me of when I went to St.Lucia nice breez at night if you open the bed rm patio doors. I will be back .

Left a note on the kitchen bar telling about a few items that need to be addressed for future guest.

Fans in living room were always on if lights were on. Toaster & coffee Keruig did not work properly, no personal soap or shampoo was available, had to purchase dishwasher detergent in order to wash dishes, instructions needed to use television in living room. Otherwise the place was very comfortable & clean.

Mardi Gras

The house was very nice. Did not here from the owner of the residence with the info needed to enter the house until the evening before we were heading to Galveston. Sent a couple of emails and 2 phone calls. Had problems with the remotes in the bedrooms.
