About this property

Beachfront! Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking on site. Turtle Casa GAMING SUITE

Turtle Casa is a fabulous 3 story Beach Villa with each level featuring a full kitchen, living room, dining areas, bedrooms and baths.

This listing is for renting the 2 bedroom/1.5 bathroom GAMING SUITE, middle floor.

Electricity is INCLUDED. We simply ask out guests to be conservative with it, as it is VERY EXPENSIVE on Roatan!

Why so few reviews?? Please see our primary listing (whole villa) for MANY 5 Star reviews of the property: https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p210207

We have 5 additional listings on VRBO that will give you more choices for all of our 2, 4 and 6 bedroom options to suit your needs and budget. Listing address' are provided at the bottom of this section. Please check them all out and make the choice that's the best fit for you.

The Gaming Suite is our most FUN offering with a full sized pool table, electronic dart board, games, Bluetooth stereo, small library, projector and an expansive covered patio with two hammocks. It has two full sized bedrooms, both with closets, one containing a safe, with a Jack and Jill bathroom between them. There is also a half bath in the main living area. The Gaming Suite offers dining for six both indoors and out.

WIFI: If you need to get some work done (or just like staying in touch or streaming) Turtle Casa has upgraded to the highest residential WIFI package available on-island through Fiber Optic cable. We've added a Google Mesh system to reach all corners of the large villa with excellent upload and download speeds as well.

The Villa is located in the Sandy Bay area, away from the commotion and noise of the tourist areas, and at the same time just a short drive to the best areas on the Island for public beaches, restaurants and nightlife. Our property is ideal for the traveler wanting to stay away from the crowds but close to the action. You'll appreciate the quiet at night when you're sitting out on the veranda or swinging in one of our Hammocks, watching the stars and listening to the waves crashing on the reef just offshore.

You couldn't have a better location for Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Fishing, Island excursions to Cayos Cochinos or other exotic locales and Sunset Cruises - The hallmarks of a vacation at Turtle Casa. Walk out the door and have your party picked up right at the end of our dock for all of these activities! Our next door neighbor (Capt Tim) shares our expansive dock and runs one of the most popular charter services in Roatan for deep sea/fly fishing, Island Excursions to Cayos Cochinos and other remote locations like Pigeon Cay and Sunset cruises. Look him up on the web at Ruthless Roatan Charters - You'll want to take advantage of an unforgettable excursion with the best service on Roatan, leaving right from your dock!

And speaking of our dock, Turtle Casa features a custom 2 level Dock, built with ocean activities and entertainment in mind. Plenty of Adirondack-style seating, hammocks and Sea Kayaks make this a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. And your diving/fishing/excursion operators all can pick you up right there without having to leave the property!

Or slide one of our kayaks down the easy ramp into the ocean and kayak out to the gorgeous coral reef, just off shore, for some fantastic snorkeling at Roatan's famous dive site, Spooky Channel.

Have you always wanted to swim with Dolphins? The world famous Roatan Institute for Marine Science is located within walking distance from Turtle Casa at Anthony's Key. Here you can Snorkel with Dolphins, Dive with Dolphins or even become a 'Trainer for a Day'. An experience you'll never forget!

So much to do right on site - AND away from all the crowds.

And then there's Turtle Casa's spectacular deck's overlooking the Ocean; my favorite place to swing in the hammock's every morning with a cup of coffee or watch the unbelievably gorgeous Caribbean sunsets!

Lastly, Turtle Casa provides a garage with automatic doors and a full size washer/dryer for your convenience at no charge.

Now let's move inside and I'll describe each of Turtle Casa's 3 private suite's in detail:

Remember, this listing includes the 2 Bedroom / 1.5 Bathroom Gaming Suite only.

Master Bedroom 1 features a King size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a beautiful mosaic rock shower with dual "rain" style shower heads. Master Bedroom 2 features a queen size bed and master bath with 2 sinks and a shower/tub combination. The Penthouse is our most sophisticated and luxurious suite, offering spectacular unimpeded sunset and ocean views.

The Gaming Suite, 2BR/1.5 Bath (this listing) - Gather together for socializing and fun in the very spacious middle Gaming Suite featuring Billiards, Darts, Games, Books, a Projector, Stereo and an expansive covered patio. This suite is all about sharing good times with family and friends! It features a large covered veranda with hammocks, loungers, gas grill and an outdoor dining set for 6. Inside you'll find a fine 6 person dining set, expansive living room/game room with 1/2 bath, full kitchen with all appliances and granite counters, even a wine chiller! The 2 Queen bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Without a doubt, this is where your group will spend most of it's time together and it's got what you need.

(not included in this listing) Beach Suite, 2BR/1Bath - The Beach Suite is the ground level of Turtle Casa and provides our most economical accommodations. It is smaller in size than the Gaming/Penthouse levels as it shares it's floor space with the 2 car garage. But it still provides 2 good size bedrooms (1 queen/1double), a living room/dining room, full kitchen (half sized fridge) with granite counter tops and a full bathroom. It has a large outdoor seating area just a few steps to the Beach with loungers and hammock.

Close to West End and came with everything
I can’t say enough good things about the property. The Turtle Casa came with everything we needed. We stayed in the gaming suite, one adult, and two girls ages 10 and 13. We loved it. It was truly our home away from home. First, the view is amazing. The reef is right outside with an amazing dock. The rooms were nicely laid out and well stocked with linens, towels, and cookery. It really was close to everything. It was an easy 15 minutes from west end and there were several markets nearby. Eldon’s was also 15 minutes away. So it really is convenient. I loved that my kids got to see how locals lived. You are in a neighborhood and people who live on the island are nearby. We went walking at night and I felt completely safe. I highly recommend for many reasons. The place is stocked with tons of games, tons of movies, and great WiFi. You will not be bored! Marnie, specifically, was awesome to talk to. She communicated everything I needed. I probably could have read more than I did but she walked me through so many things. Really I recommend everything about this place!

AMAZING stay at Turtle Casa
I can't say enough about the month I spent at Turtle Casa in the Gaming suite. the view, the room and the support was even better than advertised. Our Host Marnie needs a new title because Super Host is an understatement for her, she is in contact with you from the time you book until after you leave making sure all your needs are being satisfied. I was worried a month may have been too long but this place was so perfectly located I wish I spent two months there. I will definatly be back and will bring out travel friends.

All fun and games
We really enjoyed the gaming suite at Turtle Casa. After a great day of diving, snorkling, kayaking, shopping in Westend, it was so convenient to return to a fully appointed home and prepare a great meal, followed by some billiards, darts, cards, a movie, or just relaxing and watching the sun set on the private dock. We did all those things. The gaming suite was ideal for 2 couples traveling together but I think it would also be great for a family with teenagers.

About the host

Hosted by Marnie Paffenroth

Host profile image
As a five-star host I can honestly say that I love making our guests happy! I love going above and beyond to help guests feel comfortable and confident, not only in my properties, but also in an area they are visiting. I love recommending places and activities I've found to be exceptional, and I love when guests find my homes a "Small Slice of Heaven on Earth".

As the Managing Owner, I work closely with Mark and Katie Waller, original owners of Turtle Casa (and great Partners), my husband Scott, a pilot with AA (which makes flying back and forth easy) and our awesome Property Manager, Johney. We are all here to make your time on Roatan truly exceptional!

Why they chose this property

We chose Roatan because of the Islands undeveloped natural beauty and value in a Caribbean Island destination. Unlike so many tropical places, Roatan still has a wonderfully authentic Island feel. We specifically chose Turtle's Casa's location because it's quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas.


What makes this property unique

And there's plenty to do right at the house. Our Dive partner will pick you up for diving right from the dock. Our next door neighbor runs a Deep Sea/Fly Fishing/Island Excursion business which is also based from our dock. The sea kayaking and snorkeling right in front of the house is some of the best to be found on the island with the reef just offshore.

There are beautiful beaches on Roatan that you can go to and not see another soul for hours. There is also the great commercial districts with great restaurants, beautiful beaches and lots of activities. We also Love that the Island is mountainous and covered with tropical rainforest.


Roatan is an Island experience that you'll want to come back for again and again. There's just so much to see and do!


Turtle Casa makes you feel like you're on a luxury yacht when you're on the large covered decks or in the living areas of the home. The wall of windows facing the Ocean bring the spectacular view and sunsets right into your living room. It is truly a spectacular experience to swing in the hammocks in the early morning hours or during sunset, listening to the ocean and feeling the breeze. And you'll be glad to have the quiet Turtle Casa provides being located in a small local neighborhood away from the tourist frenzy.
