You found the desired place on the Island everyone wants. No iron shore here.
Welcome to a quiet, private beach front property. The property is filled with lush tropical plants and flowers and among them is 10 villas (all unique in their own way).
The Beach is groomed every day. We have Kayaks, Paddle Boards, Snorkel Gear, Hammocks, Lounge Chairs and Beach Towels for your use. Along with free WiFi. And we have WiFi on the Beach and the Dock so you can play your own music while you chill on the Beach.
We are private yet close to everything--- Activities, Bars, Restaurants, Shopping and Entertainment.
The National Park is an amazing 3 minute Beach front walk away. The park has zip-lines, monkeys, macaws, sloths and many other animals.
The diving, swimming and snorkeling is excellent right here in front of Turtle Beach as the left side of our dock that has the mermaid is all rock and coral. You will see amazing colors of fish, lobster, so many things! And on the next dock over is a 5 star dive shop.
The Beach front walk to West End or West Bay Beach is about a 15 minute walk either way or a 5 minute water taxi ride (which you can catch from our dock). We are fabulously located at the half way point between them.
The Dive shop and all other water sports will pick you up right at our dock - Dolphin swim, Snorkel, Parasail, Jetski, etc.
We are full Western Exposure so the Sunsets are dramatic and different every night and they never get old to watch.
We have two Ocean front pools so you can sip a drink in the pool and watch the sunset. We also have a fully stocked outdoor kitchen and grill and ample seating for fantastic outdoor meals!
The 80 ft. long dock is great for morning coffee or afternoon swims. It has a swing and hammock!
Our newest building on the beach features a great sunbathing deck or a perfect spot to catch the sunsets.
You will not be disappointed here. We have many People leave other places while on the Island and they come here because of the location, service and all we have to offer.
There are no crashing Waves because the Reef is about a ¼ mile off shore right in front of Turtle Beach.
As you saw on Vacation Rental By Owner my reviews are all 5 star so I know you will be happy. (They are 5 star on all sites.)
We have had Dive groups, Wedding & Birthday parties where the whole group rents the place out for themselves. And Honeymooners love it here.
We have 10 Villas
A 3 bedroom/2 bath Villa
4 - 2 bedroom Villas (2 with 2 baths/2 with 1 bath)
1 - 1 bedroom Villa
2 Cabins (13x16)
2 Studio Suites
Many have amazing Ocean views and all have full Kitchens with stainless steel appliances, Tile Bathrooms, fully appointed kitchens and baths & Hammocks on every porch.

After deciding on a destination wedding, we chose Turtle Beach for a beach wedding + long stay honeymoon. It was the best decision we made! Turtle Beach is amazing - and I can't thank Steve, Paul, Tommy, Carlos, Rosa and the rest of the crew enough for the great event.
Turtle Beach went out of their way to take care of all the guests and all the planning: Firedancers, music, daily deliveries of beverages and fresh food, beautiful flowers, decorations, sand sculptures, and sailboats. Fantastic snorkeling right from the privacy of the beach; scuba (Clearwater) on-site; macaws flying overhead; chasing crabs at night; and star-gazing. It's a perfect location away from the crowds in your own private oasis, yet close enough to walk down the beach to West End or West Bay.
I highly recommend Turtle Beach to travelers of all ages - our group ranged from 2 years to 65+ and it was perfect for everyone.

I feel so lucky to have stumbled across Turtle Beach. It is in the best location between West Bay and West End. The accommodations are outstanding, we were able to cook our own meals when we wanted to and were just a short walk away from restaurants for when we didn't feel like cooking. Tommy and Paul were so welcoming and were always willing to help us book a tour or give a recommendation for the best place to go. We cannot wait to book our return trip to Turtle Beach.

perfection.
i just spent 8 incredible days at turtle beach. we nailed it with this booking.
paul and tommy are the nicest guys on earth. they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and had a killer vacation. from helping us book scuba diving and a tattoo appointment, to bailing us out of a jam when our car got booted - these guys have mastered hospitality.
i will absolutely return to turtle beach - the location couldn't be better, the accommodations are pristine and the adjacent dive company, clearwater adventures, is equally as fantastic.
book this place. period.

Like Home...Only Better
Just realized these guys are finally on Tripadvisor, and had to give a shout out for an incredible stay a couple of years ago!
There are not enough words to express what an amazing time we had at Turtle Beach. Not only is the property itself everything we were looking for, but we also felt like family by the time we left. The units are beautiful, clean, and well equipped....the pool was nice and refreshing....and the beach was perfect and secluded. It's in a great location between west end and west bay (no need for a car) but it is simultaneously quiet and private. Turtle beach was probably the single best thing about our vacation and I'm so glad we decided to stay there (after doing months of research)!
Thanks again guys for everything! :)

Amazing cabin on an amazing private beach
I spent a long weekend at the Turtle Beach Resort (I stayed in Jellyfish cabin). The place is extraordinary. It is somewhat secluded, on its own beach situated halfway between West End and West Bay (walk to either easily, or get a water taxi). The white sand beach and crystal clear water are only improved by the comfy beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and beach "toys" available for guests. The owners/hosts are great guys, and the staff treats you like family from the moment you arrive. I highly recommend staying here if you want a laid back, casual, restful beach vacation.

What a cool place!
This is a really cool place. 8 low key cabins right on the beach. Made new friends everyday while hanging out on the deck above the water. They have their own private dive boat which goes out for 2-3 dives everyday to some of the best sites on the island. Clearwater Adventures is 75 feet away and Denisse is probably the most enthusiastic dive guide I have ever met. Fun everyday. Steve is a great BBQ chef. After 3 days of BBQ lobster, I couldn't take anymore and had to revert to Lionfish, Snapper, Grouper and Shrimp. Small type of family entertainment brought in twice weekly. Paul is on staff 24/7 and he is a great host. Again, it's more of a small type of retreat, so I was able to meet new friends everyday hanging out on the boat dock or at the pool and wooden deck overlooking the Caribbean Sea. If you are use to big sprawling, overcrowded hustle and bustle, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for piece and quiet, relaxation, fun or romance, this is the place for you. And if you want to head to the village, it's a 15 minute beachside walk, or $3.00, 3 minute water taxi to some of the bigger bars and restaurants. It's a fun, cool place and way better suited for people who are fun and cool!

Cool Place with Cool People!
After much research, we decided to stay at this place because of the proximity to West End/West Bay and because of all the activities offered.. We couldn't of choose better! Paul and Tommy who own/run the place are two awesome dudes.. They came to Roatan several years ago and began building the paradise Turtle Beach Cabins is today.
What I really like about this place and the owners, is that Turtle Beach Cabins isn't just a place for travelers to have a great vacation - it's also a resort that cares about the community. They've partnered with other local business owners to help out with activities around the resort. Thus, creating micro-businesses supported by the guests who visit. As a student of tourism I understand how money spent correctly can go to work to improve quality of life. Paul and Tommy understand this, and employee this philosophy in their day to day operations.
Aside from that very important part for me, you can expect all the services/needs to be in place durring your stay. Well kept Villas of differnt sizes all with Air Conditioning. The resort is kind of new, so all the appliances in the kitchen are new and the beds are supper comfortable.
If you're staying at Turtle Beach Ocean Cabins & Villas, you can expect a low hassle, zero pressure, chilax stay... Be sure to spend some time in the Palapa over the water!
Can't wait to go back next year with a larger group!.. This place is perfect for family reunion, Quick getaway, or extended stay. Feel like a local in just a day or two...
