The guest bath toilet leaked and flooded the guest bath on the first night. We reported it, and the bathroom was unusable for the trip. I would have expected a couple hundred bucks back but the host didn’t offer and didn’t respond to my request for partial refund which was disappointing. The stay was otherwise pleasant.

Dream Honeymoon at Tortuga!

When we arrived, we were stunned by the beauty of the property! It feels like you're in a secluded tropical oasis and the view from the balcony is priceless. We spent a lot of time just looking out across the island throughout the day. The home is incredibly quiet and peaceful - we did not want to leave. The inside of the home is open with high ceilings, nice rooms, and great showers. We enjoyed the 3 setting rain shower in the master room! The Jacuzzi was also a wonderful touch especially on our honeymoon and after adventuring during the day. One suggestion would be providing a more invited and welcomed guest feel - at times it felt like we did not always have ready access to what we needed. For example, working batteries for flashlights during the power outage or a newer, more user-friendly coffeemaker. Very minor things though. We absolutely would return to Villa Tortuga! We were so sad to leave and would love to go back one day.

Amazing House with Amazing View

We had a lovely stay at this house for a week. James was very responsive with any questions we had. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped. House is beautifully decorated with nice furniture. The most scenic drive was out towards Point Udall and around the southeast shore. The prettiest beach was Carambola. You can park just before the entrance and take the stairs down through the resort. The best swimming beach was Sandy Point out by Frederiksted. There’s also a really good restaurant on the beach, called Rhythms at Rainbow Beach. We also had two friendly cat brothers who came to visit us every day. I would definitely stay here again.

Central Location with Amazing Views

We loved our stay at Villa Tortuga! The home had lots of nice accommodations including beach towels, water bottles, beach chairs etc. The location is great - outside of busy Christiansted but also a quick drive to amenities. Also very easy to drive to Frederiksted/Cane Bay etc. We spent a few nights in the hot tub relaxing after long beach days which was such a nice addition. The gate/house code was easier to figure out. If you type in "Villa Tortuga" into Google Maps, it navigates you right to the house which is helpful in the dark! If we return to St Croix, we will certainly stay here again!

Private home with scenic views

We had a lovely stay at Villa Tortuga. While near Christiansted, the property is very private and secluded with gate entry. Situated upon a high hill, views of the harbor are splendid. We did not miss a sunrise, which can be enjoyed from the deck or living room, which has expansive windows and sliding glass doors. The kitchen had a few items to help us get started, which we appreciated. The host was very responsive to all of our questions. If you don’t mind a bit of a hike, go to Jack and Isaac’s beach. Stunning!

Beautiful View

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful deck in the hot tub, dining, or just gazing at the view. The house was nicely furnished, with plenty of beach towels and bath towels. We also used the sand toys, nice beach chairs, snorkel gear, and washer and dryer. The beds were very comfortable and sleeping with the breeze coming in was the best! We would recommend this house to anyone! Thank you James!

From the moment we pulled up to the gate The property was absolutely beautiful. The house is meticulously maintained. The views were spectacular and James was great communicating with us.

Amazing views

We were on St Croix for 2 weeks and stayed at Dan and Frans for the second week. Dan was a great host reaching out to us with check in instructions days before arrival at his house. He was prompt in response and addressed our needs via message quickly. Views were spectacular and house was perfect for our 3 kids under 10. We loved the pool and caught every sunrise on the deck. Location was central to allow us to hit all parts of the island in 20 mins. Neighborhood was safe with guard at the entrance. Truly a great spot!

Husband was very happy

Villa Tortuga was a fabulous place for our family to stay while on the island. It was just as described online, was clean and fairly priced. As soon as we stepped onto the deck upon our arrival, my husband was so happy with the villa and the location. From the deck, you can see both sides of the island. All in all our experience was absolutely great. James was so easy to work with and was always quick to respond if I had a question. The home was clean, beds felt great, showers worked well, kitchen was nicely equipped. If we make it back to St. Croix, you can bet I will be checking to see if Villa Tortuga is still available!

About the host

Hosted by James

Host profile image
I work in the healthcare industry in Atlanta and Ramon is an IT manager. I'm a military brat and have lived in many places here and abroad. I started going to the Caribbean about 20 years ago. After many trips and several islands later, we decided to buy a home on St. Croix. Ramon is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, so moving to St. Croix was like going home for him. This island is the Caribbean's best kept secret. We hope you enjoy this jewel of an island as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

When looking for a home in St. Croix, we couldn't decide if we wanted a great view or more land. Fortunately with this property we were able to get both! The property is about an acre with incredible views of the both the ocean and hillside.

What makes this property unique

Although Villa Tortuga is only 5 minutes from downtown Christiansted, it is in a very tropical setting that is both serene and private. It's such a beautiful space.
