Little Slice of Heaven!
This is an out-of-the-way, open-air, natural beauty, a private little estate, right on the water. A few of the things we loved about it were being on a secluded beach, the sound of the waves, the cool breezes that rolled through the open windows, watching the stars every night, the reef right in our back yard, the fish and monkeys, pelicans and sandpipers. It seemed like a time warp where the whole world just slowed down. We were there during the off season (October) which we think is the way to go. It's fifteen minutes drive to great restaurants (also on the water - there's a theme developing here...We are already thinking ahead to our next visit to this beautiful gem of a place on the planet.

Beyond disappointed…that I can’t leave 1M stars rating!! PICTURE PERFECT PARADISE!!!
This place is beyond what my limited vocabulary can describe!! The breathtaking views and unparalleled beauty of what we found at Turtle Beach is beyond description. We just returned from 10 days of trying to wrap our heads around our blessing that we found this hidden gem. Of course we took advantage of the Caribbean reefs and wrecks for scuba diving as well as we ventured out on our own to climb up Mount Liamugia in our rented jeep (Bullseye rental deserves, 1 million stars as well for their service and response.) but the most enjoyable part of our trip was being at the cottage…from sitting on one of the many beautiful seating areas around the cottage and gazing upon Nevis to exploring the private expanse of the natural beach to snorkeling on the shallow reefs in Mosquito Bay. Yes, it was Africa hot, but I chose to go in August for my birthday adventure. The Winward tradewinds were glorious and cooled us but when we needed more, the master bedroom was another beautiful place to rest and chill with its charming decor and AC!! Turtle Beach in its natural state was beautiful! Every day was a new canvas for God to display His beautiful work. The seaweed would come and go as as the tides and trade winds changed direction. We were fortunate to have Gert go north but we were prepared to extend our stay to take in more!! We can’t thank our hosts enough for sharing their home with us. We do not need to look any further as we have now found our forever vacation spot.

Best Stay Ever
The online descriptions and information about Turtle Cottage only told a small part of the story. The cottage is so much more magnificent in person. The location was truly paradise. The owners have created a one-of-a-kind home away from home. The is living space is spacious and beautifully decorated with a Caribbean vibe. The bedroom was especially beautiful. We didn't know what to expect with the communal areas that are shared with the Ocean Song and other cottage located just up the hill. It turned out to be a great time to share the beach and bar with like minded traveler. The property manger was extremely helpful and had lots of suggestions on what to do and where to go. When we left St Kitts he took us to the ferry and organized a taxi to take us to the airport in Revis. The owners gave us lots of information before we arrived and were very helpful after we arrive.

Beautiful view
Turtle Beach is about 30 minutes from the airport in St Kitts, but you will need to rent a Jeep, which we did thru Bullseye rental. The road is pretty rough. Other than the bedroom, the cottage is NOT air conditioned, and it gets extremely hot. The water is gorgeous, but the seaweed was pretty awful this week. Also, no dishwasher. The view is incredible, maybe the best on the island. We drove the entire island twice, and we were always excited to get back to our little cottage. Overall, I would recommend this rental as long as you understand that this is an upstairs cottage with a small kitchen area, bathroom and two living areas with no air conditioning (other than the bedroom) and it is HOT. It was fine for us because we stayed outside most of the time. Owners were fantastic.

Incredible view and property!
Perfect for those wanting direct connection to the ocean - the sound of the waves, delightful breezes, warm water swimming and outdoor shaded and sunny spots can’t be beat. Having property to yourself in the morning and after 5 makes it extra nice. The seaweed was about a 3-4 foot strip with lots of sand still available for chairs - no smell and no big deal to me to rake a path thru to the ocean. Stay was heavenly.

The PERFECT Getaway
We found Turtle Beach Cottage through a random advertisement in a local email, and I am SO thankful that we did! It was the absolute perfect getaway. Ricky and Penny provide so much information before even stepping foot on the island, such as restaurants to try, hikes to take, and so much more! The island is BEAUTIFUL, and we may be biased, but we think Turtle Beach is the most beautiful part. The cottage is stunning with breathtaking views and the Property Manager, Yellow, was a pleasure to work with - even teaching my husband how to open a coconut he had found on the beach! The Beach Lounge is the perfect place to spend the day, and the walk to Cockleshell Beach is so easy, and filled with local monkeys! We took Ricky & Penny’s recommendation and visited LobsterFest at Reggae Beach Bar. Definitely a can’t miss! We also loved spending the day sipping drinks at Shipwreck! The only thing I’d change about our trip is to stay longer - 3 nights was not enough! Do yourself a favor and come experience this beautiful island and cottage for yourself!

Jus what we needed
A quiet little haven to ourselves, the beach was only occupied by two other people who were staying in the sister property that is located a little further up, but before 10am andafter5pm the beach was ours. We felt completely at ease to carry out our work from the lookout o paradise, we saw some reviews complain about seaweed, but honestly it did not bother us in the slightest as we came to take in the view from our accommodation and swim in the beautiful sea, we feel this place is perfect for a couple who seek serenity in seclusion and enjoy a bit of a relaxed adventure. Read the helpful handbook Ricky put together as it has great tips.

The Perfect Vacation Getaway!
We absolutely loved this house! The home was comfortable and the view was unbeatable. It really is right on the ocean! There were plenty of water toys, towels and all the things you could want at a beach house. The honor bar was a really nice addition, too, although we didn't take advantage of it while we were there. The owners and property manager were responsive and easy to work with. Even working with us when our flight home was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. A great home and a great vacation!

Beautiful piece of paradise!
Wow this property has the most stunning photogenic views! We had an amazing week here, our boys loved snorkelling & swimming, the wildlife provides a lot of entertainment, from turtles to crabs to monkeys we loved watching them all. The property is well managed, the one problem we had (caused by a turtle on the beach!) was fixed with super speed! Good basics in the kitchen which people had left, oil, sauces as well as eggs, bread & water provided initially at the start of our stay. You will need to stock up on the first day or have a car to get to the supermarket in Basseterre regularly as there are no shops nearby. Overall just amazing location, wildlife & beautiful views are well worth the visit!

Quite and relaxing
Our stay at Turtle Beach Cottage was wonderful. It is on the South Peninsula away from all the resorts and crowds. The property was well maintained and even though others have use of the downstairs from 10-5, we never saw a soul. Our only complaints are really something the owner has no control over (1) the road to the house is brutal even in a Jeep and (2) the seaweed has completely covered the beach. It would be impossible to keep it raked. We were told this is true of the whole island and will hopefully subside with changing ocean conditions. Our only recommendation to the owner is to purchase another air conditioner for the living/kitchen area. It is impossible to stay upstairs during the summer days. We were relegated to the bedroom to get relief from the heat. Downstairs is nice because of the breeze but at dusk the bugs were terrible so we found ourselves between a rock and a hard place. If the upstairs living was air conditioned you could still enjoy the view without the bugs. Even so, we throughly enjoyed the quite and peace that this cottage offers.

Great cottage! Details in every aspect top notch! Many little "sitting places" perfect for reading or watching the birds and surf. I finished 3 books! Short beach walk to the cove where there are a few beach bars and food. Penny always responded quickly and happily on any questions we had setting up our stay. Richard and Penny supply a very informative paper covering almost everything imaginable to prepare and engage while there! Franklyn (on site) was absolutely superb in being available, recommending, setting up, and assisting in anything we needed. We loved the place, its people, and the stay!

Honeymoon in a Caribbean Paradise!
I cannot say enough about our stay at the Turtle Beach Cottage! Let me start with our hosts Penny and Ricky. Our transition into paradise was the smoothest and made possible by these two, as they were always there if we had questions or needed anything. They are hands down the nicest people and made us feel right at home. As we arrived to the house Ricky was waiting there to greet us. He gave us a tour of our little place we’d call home for the next week. The place is breathtaking.. you’re literally living the unbelievable Caribbean shots you see advertised all on your own private property. The waters are blue, the breeze coming in off the the Atlantic is relaxing, the views should be on a post card, and the sea life is active! As we waded the waters on our first night we ended up guiding cute baby turtles back into the sea. The snorkeling right off our beach is everything you’d ask for. Beautiful reefs, exotic fish, and we even encountered a couple sting rays. All of this compliments the beautiful place we chose to spend our 7 night honeymoon vacation. The home is immaculate. French doors throughout the residence invite the cool breeze and views in that make for the perfect morning cup of joe. My wife and I could not have found a better spot to spend our honeymoon. This place covered everything we wanted. We cannot wait to get back to this little piece of paradise! - Jeff & Morgan

The property is located directly on the beach at Turtle Beach. The check-in was easy and efficient. Ricky (the owner) and staff are friendly and very helpful. Though not new, the property is clean and well kept...the views from the balconies are to die for! The beach is lovely for walking and there are some bars/restaurants a short walk away at Cockleshell Beach. However, if you want to explore the island, you will definitely need a car (easy to hire at Basseterre airport). In essence, for a peaceful getaway the property is perfect.

Pictures Are "Not" Worth A Thousand Words or Money Spent on Rental Property
At 5:15 pm on Monday when I called Franklin to let him know we were on the way his Quote was "JESUS CHRIST" like it was a problem that we were coming, this time frame did not suit his schedule. When we got there he stated I was supposed to have eggs and juice but he would bring them by the next day. The next day when he came by he was informed that the cell phone did not work, his statement was I had a smart phone so I was too smart to use a simple phone. Three days later he came by to show me how the phone worked and he could not make it work so he decided it was broke. For the rest of my visit I had to use my phone to make local calls . On that same day he used the toilet downstairs not checking to see that the valve was closed on the toilet which caused the holding tank to run out of water which left us with no water for about five hours. We flagged a car down on the roadway in front of the house and found out from Greg (your family member) that the engineer at the Gov't Water supply was called and that water would be restored in another hour or so. Now to the house: roof is leaking water into the living area near the bathroom where the plant stand is located; floor boards are water damaged and peeling upward throughout the house; outside decking boards are rotting near the outside laundry room and in front of the house; the shower curtain was filthy with mold and mildew; linens were old and worn out; need to purchase new bath towels and WASH CLOTHS; freezer door fell off and needs to be fixed; house needs to be power washed; and the seagrass was three feet deep and five feet wide on the beach, could not get into the ocean. Your beach toys need to be housed in a storage shed, but are left out in the weather. Your property manager must be outsourcing the cleaning process and not following up with inspecting your property. All he is concerned with is making money off the rental incumbents with his soliciting of "tour" operations. The entire property needs to be updated because this is not a five star property! The best thing about St. Kitts and Nevis was the monkey population and your view from the house of Nevis. This property should be taken off all web sites until it has been upgraded and CLEANED.!!!

Adventurous vacation
We had a very nice stay last week at turtle beach cottage. The cottage itself is very comfortable and the views are amazing. The owners were very responsive to needs that arose and we were very thankful for that. The snorkeling at the property was great. The only real downer on the trip was the amount of seaweed on our beach(the guy that cleans the beach said a huge amount came in a couple days before we got there). this is obviously not the fault of the owners, we just got A little unlucky in that regard. It did mostly clear out on our last day which was nice. We would definitely come back again in the future.
