About this property

Beach House Right on the beach!

A 2 bedroom, 3-bathroom house located on Turtle Beach on the South East Peninsula of St. Kitts. There are only 2 houses on this beach and we are the only 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom house on the beach. It is a very private and peaceful beach full of lots of sea life and pelicans and sandpipers. A 3rd bedroom recently renovated is located downstairs off of the atrium and can be added for an extra nightly charge of $125.00 per night. Contact owner for details or see the separate listing on VRBO as a 3 bedroom.
If rented as a 2 bedroom, the 2 bedrooms are upstairs as you enter the main house to the right. A staircase leads you up to the dining/living & kitchen area which is all open concept. There is an A/C unit in this area as well as 2 ceiling fans. The balcony is off of the living area & 2 French doors open out to an impressive view of Nevis & Booby Island. There is a sectional outdoor sofa along with a table & 4 chairs out there which are perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or to watch the pelicans dive for their breakfast and dinner. We also have an incredible sunrise view which can be seen from both patios or from the beach. We also have a very comfy hammock in the corner.
The dining area has a table with 6 chairs. In the living room there is a sofa, loveseat & an armchair. The smart TV is in the armoire in the living room. To our American visitors we highly recommend bringing your own Fire Stick so you can access all your favorite shows. We do have the premium cable package as well so there are lots of options if needed for tv watching. We also have the highest internet speed you can get on the island in case working remotely is needed. This has been tested many times by us.
The kitchen has place settings for 8 people & glasses (both glass & plastic for the beach). There is a fridge, electric stove top with oven, microwave oven and dishwasher. There is a drip coffee pot, electric kettle, toaster and blender. The kitchen is fully kitted out with all you need for making your own meals including a few basic spices.
More about the bedrooms: The master bedroom faces the Caribbean Sea/Channel & Nevis. There is a King bed with all bedding & pillows & blankets provided. An interesting feature is a Jacuzzi tub in the corner of this room which looks out over the water. There is an air conditioner in this bedroom as well as a ceiling fan. There is a chest of drawers, a mirror, a chair, luggage rack and a bench as well as a large closet for hanging clothes. The bathroom is ensuite & has a shower, toilet & double vanity with lots of cupboards for storage. We supply a hair dryer as well.
The upstairs guest bedroom is on the other side of the master bedroom separated by a foyer. One of the windows looks towards the water & Nevis and the other one looks towards the hills. This room has a king bed with all bedding, pillows & blankets provided. The king bed can be converted to 2 twin beds upon request before arrival. There is a chest of drawers, mirror, chair, luggage rack as well as a closet for hanging clothes. The bathroom is also ensuite as there is a privacy door by the foyer. This bathroom has a shower, toilet & single vanity with storage space.
More about the entrance to the property: When you enter the front door there is an atrium area which takes you out to a huge downstairs patio with lots of seating options including 2 picnic tables & benches, sectional sofa, built in perimeter seating & a propane BBQ grill. There is also an outdoor shower. There are 4 beach lounge chairs, 4 outdoor plastic Adirondack style chairs & 2 small plastic side tables which are provided for the use of our guests. We have also provided 2 inflatable Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP's). They are impressively sturdy & very light to carry down to the water. We also provide 2 life jackets (1 men's large & 1 women's medium). We have 4 snorkel gear sets. There is also a small basic “beach” kitchen off of the atrium where there is a fridge & a sink. This is perfect for use during the day when you are at the beach & need a cold Carib beer or a rum punch! We also have 2 different sized coolers for your use. Our 3rd bathroom is next to the downstairs kitchen. If the house is rented as a 3 bedroom house the newly added 3rd bedroom is downstairs and uses this 3rd bathroom. This bedroom is air conditioned and has a ceiling fan as well.
Access to the beach is within steps of our downstairs patio. Hopefully the photos can give a good perspective. We have a white picket gate that leads out to what is typically a very private and peaceful beach. The reef system in front of our house is quite shallow
and we are lucky to have many different species of fish & turtles. Please be respectful of our beach as it is a turtle nesting beach & as such must be protected. It is also an incredible spot for wind surfing, wind foiling, kite surfing & kite foiling on a windy day.
The location of our beach house is what makes this a perfect spot. There are restaurants & bars within a 5-10 minute drive. A car is a must as the location of our beach house is about a 20 minute drive from the airport over what is known as the South East Peninsula (SEP). It truly is a spectacular drive as you will have the Atlantic Ocean on your left & the Caribbean Sea on your right. Along the way you will see signs for some great restaurants & bars including Spice Mill, Shipwreck & Reggae Beach just to name a few. You can also catch a ferry over to Nevis from the dock at Reggae Beach which we highly recommend for a day trip.
Lots more to recommend if needed so just ask our Property Manager Max Brisbane. His family is from St. Kitts & Max is a wealth of knowledge of all things St. Kitts.

Turtle Cove Beach House

The house a location are perfect, Kim and Max made our stay seem like family time! The reef is beautiful right in front of the house, all the locals are very friendly and again made us feel welcome. Words alone can’t describe the feelings you have on a sunny day looking at the water from the deck. Come see it for yourself!!!

Lovely Villa on the Beach with Great Manager and Owner

We had 6 nights in the property , felt at home right away , very well equipped, even with a paddle board , snorkeling gear and a kayak . Beautiful views from the beach , upper and lower deck . Loved the cute beach at the Villa . Very near cockleshell beach , the reggae bar, spice mill ( lovely food, location on the beach ) and the park Hyatt . Cockleshell beach walkable : go right at the beach , around the bay , the sign points to an overgrown path but passable ( 10 minutes with a machete would do wonders: Max ?) then follow the road ( after 3 minutes on the path ) to the beach and the reggae bar - the spice mill, a bit further down the beach . Max 20 minutes . The villa has v good flashlights , fyi . Kim the owner is very nice and quick to respond . Max, the on island manager is fun, incredibly responsive and a great overall manager ! We would return here .

Amazing stay!

Absolutely recommend staying at Turtle Cove Beach House! My husband, our 3 children and I loved staying here during our recent trip to St. Kitts. This house and property is absolutely beautiful! Spacious and clean house with everything we needed for our stay. It has the most beautiful view of the sea and Nevis and is steps away from the sand and sea. We loved having an outdoor shower to clean our snorkel gear each night and we spent a lot of time enjoying the incredible view from the upper deck. We snorkeled right in front of the house and saw fish. The house is located in a secluded and quiet neighborhood and was a great place to relax after our outings each day. From the minute we made our reservation, communication was wonderful. We had to change plans due to the storm Ernesto and the homeowner, Kim and property manager, Max, were so accommodating. They kept us updated as the storm progressed and after the storm once they assessed the house. They allowed us to switch our trip days since there was availability and even cleaned up all the debris from the storm before our arrival. When we finally arrived, we were greeted by a cheerful Max! He showed us around the property and how to use everything there. Kim and Max messaged us to check on us during our stay. Check our was also super quick and easy. I would absolutely stay here again if we go to St. Kitts again in the future!

Paradise Found

This house is just beautiful, immaculately clean, with all the amenities you could want. The beach is wonderful, practically a private beach and the bay is private with clear waters and perfect for relaxing, which is exactly what we wanted. Kim and Max made everything so simple and we appreciated their care and attention to detail.

Heaven on earth

Well, like it was previously said in a review I don't want the secret to get out! Because I'd like this property to be available at all times to me! But I owe it to Kim and Max to tell the world about my experience because they're so deserving of a 10 star rating.. I could write for days here about the Turtle Cove Beach House and how much we enjoyed the little things, the fine touches and details of this house. The spectacular condition of it, so clean. The pictures don't even do it justice. The communication with Kim and Max was outstanding..Max welcomed us in and is so friendly. Max set the tone for our vacation really. We were still in the NY groove and the haze of the flight and rental car, all that and Max helped settle right in to this beautiful place and gave us all the info we needed. The house had everything you need , all you need is groceries. We cooked the entire week pretty much. Bbq on the grill and stuff...I loved this house and these people and we'll be back...St Kitts was my 5th and so far my favorite island I've been to.. The location is great.. so secluded yet right around the corner from everything you need.. Quiet! Tranquil! That's what we wanted and that's what we got.. I'm gonna be late for work.. Thanks Kim and Max. See you soon! ..

Best vacation experience

The house was amazing and property manager, Max, was so very helpful booking excursions and recommending restaurants, beaches, etc. The whole experience was absolutely amazing from checkin to checkout. The owner, Kim, was also excellent and checked in with us to make sure all was perfect. I highly recommend Turtle Cove Beach House to all!!

Wonderful place and awesome stay

This by far has been the best experience we have had with any property we have rented over the years. Kim and Max and the property manager were very attentive, informative and engage before, during and after our visit. The house is everything that is advertised and more. We had the beach to ourselves with awesome views, lots of wildlife and best of all extremely quiet. The house was well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay whether you are cooking your own meals or going out every meal. There is plenty of places to eat and the grocery store (we like to cook ourselves) was only 15 minutes away. We wanted a place where we could just relax, swim, stare at the ocean and just slow down and this place was perfect. We will looking to come back again and again.

FABULOUS! ONE OF A KIND.

This place was wonderful, and just what my wife and I needed for some upscale but personal time off. Located at the far end of St. Kitts (an island of very cordial and happy people) the Turtle Beach location is just like the cover photo shows. Every day, we would walk the 50 feet from the house to the (essentially private) beach to lie back and relax. If we needed lunch, we'd drive to the Raggae Beach Bar at the next beach to have shrimp, lobster, whatever we liked plus drinks in a friendly and uncrowded shaded restaurant setting - again right on the beach. The two bedroom AC units blow very cold air, enough to somewhat cool the living room. We understand the owners will be installing a full-house air conditioner soon. Built for relaxing, there are numerous comfy couches inside and outside on good-sized upper and lower decks, and even a separate bathroom and kitchen downstairs for teh beach and outside areas. Owners were 'over the top' in communication, and in providing everything you could imagine including masks, fins & snorkels, stand up waterboards, towels, cushions, etc. There were 2 or 3 kinds of coffee makers and Starbucks coffee waiting for us, a blender, an ice-maker for making filtered-water ice, etc. Every type of kitchen appliance, pt, pan, dish, etc. you might need. The two owners were wonderful and totally on top of any communication needs. This was our third time in St Kitts, and the home was teh BEST! We will definitely be returning!!

Perfect in every way!!!

We are flying home as I write this and already trying to sort out how to return! Max the Property Manager was, without question, the most incredibly kind, considerate, and professional Manager we have run across! He went out of his way at all times to make sure we were getting the most out of our time on his island at all times. His communication was well-timed, concise, but warm, giving just the right information just when we needed it. For instance he found a rapid Covid testing site and remembered to send a reminder with photos and instructions so we could effortlessly make it to our appointment on time. As soon as we booked he sent links to the government site so we could run through the necessary paperwork required to visit the country. He was in touch every step of the way making sure we had everything in order. It was truly remarkable! The home was very comfortable and well-stocked with everything you would expect to find. We loved being right on the beach which was quiet and perfect for snorkeling. Max even secured private snorkeling instruction at our request to make sure we were able to get the most out of our time there. We couldn’t be happier with our time spent at this lovely beachside home! Thank you, Kim and Max!

St. Kitts Family Vacation

We just spent a marvelous family vacation at the Turtle Cove Beach House. The property was all and more than advertised! We would gladly come back again. The house was clean and well appointed. We had everything that we needed to make our stay as perfect as possible. The main floor of the house is light, with vaulted ceilings, that provide a stunning view of the turquoise Caribbean and neighbor island, Nevis. We spent hours out on the deck overlooking the water. Most days, we had our own private beach area and a solitude that made us feel as we had landed in our own little piece of paradise. The house is close to Cockelshell Beach, with the Reggae Beach Bar and The Spice Mill Restaurant. Both are wonderful! The best thing about TCBH, however, is Max, the property manager! Beside being a great person, he provided us with all of the information and reservations needed to keep us all happy and entertained during our stay. He made us feel welcome and pampered from the minute we arrived! I would highly recommend a stay at the Turtle Cove Beach House!

This property is absolutely amazing!

This house on turtle beach was absolutely amazing! The property manager Max met us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the home and helped make our stay a 5star experience. The Turtle Beach house is located directly on the beach and it feels as if you have your own private beach. The house is clean and very well equipped for your extended stay. We enjoyed the snorkeling gear, paddle boards, beach chairs everyday and the sunrises are amazing off the back porch. The location of this house is far enough away from the cruise ship Port and touristy places which is nice. The house and location is in a very safe and secure location so you can relax and not be concerned for that. I highly recommend this property and once you meet Max you will feel the same.

A perfect vacation house!

We have rented many houses throughout the Caribbean and this house was the best part of our vacation! It has everything you need for a great stay. All of the amenities as exactly as stated on the website. The house is spacious and very private. The views over to Nevis from the private beach, lower level of the house and the spacious veranda are spectacular - even better in person than in the photos! The bed was very comfortable and the recreational items that are provided are in excellent condition. The owner and the property manager are helpful, and very welcoming. Our questions were answered swiftly and thoroughly. All in all this house was perfect in everyway and we could not recommend it more highly!

Host profile image
We are from St. Kitts & our families have been there for generations. We currently live in the U.S. but visit quite often as it will always be home for us.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for many years. It holds many wonderful memories for us as we grew up there. It is such a peaceful, beautiful spot on the island.

What makes this property unique

My favourite times are dawn & dusk on the balcony or on the beach watching the pelicans dive into the water in search of their next meal. It really is like having your own private beach. There is only one other property on the beach so it is very peaceful.
