Everything about this property is incredible. Beautiful natural beaches, sparkling water, unreal views, full bar, and you hardly a soul. Franklyn was an amazing help, and we had chef Wayne come cook more food than we could eat. This is at the top of our list of places to come back to.

Mildly apprehensive to leave such a glowing review because I want to keep coming back to this place and know it will get booked up. But Penny and Richard, wow, just the best hosts and such a serene location with the best hangout zones, best beach, best part of the island. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Cannot wait to return - thank you also for being so kind about the craziness with the departing flights being canceled and offering assistance with accomodations. 11 out of 10.

What a great experience at Turtle Beach Cottage. The atmosphere and views of Nevis were breathtaking and everyone we met was great. Great snorkeling right out front and monkeys in the back yard. Very secluded. Perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary. We'll be back.

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.

Relaxing!

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!

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!

Alison, Thank you so much for leaving a review! Nature is so amazing and we never get tired of all of the "life" on the beach. We have resident turtles who keep coming back to lay their eggs under the cottage every year which can be challenging! We love our rustic beach cottage and we're thrilled that you and your family enjoyed your vacation there!

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.

Relaxing ,fun , and views out of this world.

When we chose to rent Richard and Pennie cottage we were hoping it wasnt just another photo fix. We have rented a vacation home in past and it wasn’t as it was on line. But this cottage is what it is displayed as on line. It is a beautiful place and a very relaxing stay. It was everything we wanted and more for our island experience . Richard and Pennie were the nicest people . They went beyond to make sure we had a true island experience . We will be back to stay again. The people on st Kitts was very kind and the food was great. Everything we done while there was backed by the helpfulness of the island People . Loved everything about our trip to the turtle beach cottage . Thanks Richard and Pennie .

Hi Mitch & Renee! It was a pleasure to have you folks stay in our Turtle Beach Cottage. I know it can take HOURS to search online for a perfect place to spend your valuable vacation time (& money) Once you get to St Kitts all you need to do is RELAX! I spend a lot of time on my "Guest Information Document FAQ'S" so our guests do not have to THINK while on their vacation. Therefore I'm always thrilled that our guests take advantage of exploring the places we LOVE ourselves on St Kitts and Nevis! You both certainly did and we're so happy you had an amazing day on Nevis too! Thanks so much again and come back soon! Penny & Ricky

Exceptionally Excellent Experience

The cottage exceeded our greatest expectations. The interior is like Chip and Joanna Gains of HGTV's Fixer Upper does Oceanside. It is perfect. The decks are great for sunrises, sunbathing, and the magnificent views. There are lots of great restaurants close by. There are tons of things on the island to do. Our favorite: zip lining, it was a blast! The owners are a known family with generations on the island. When making reservations, we were asked where we were staying. All we had to say was the owners' first names. Everyone knows them. These owners designed and built the cottage, they take great pride in it, and it shows. This cottage is on the cover of the tourism's association visitor guide! Overall, this rental is six stars.

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.

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!

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.

PERFECT HONEYMOON!

The Turtle Beach Cottage is a tranquil, private dream house (not much of a "cottage" at all)! We stayed 7 nights for our honeymoon. Turtle Beach, only 5 steps from the deck, and completely yours! The beach was empty for most of our stay; only shared a day or two with a small group of kite surfers. The house and property was very well kept - everything was beautiful. All the snorkeling equipment was there for us to use and when we ventured only 20 feet or so off the shore - we saw a plethora of ocean life. It is quite amazing how close you are to some of the best snorkeling on the island! The best part of the day - waking up and opening all the French doors in the house, allowing the breeze to flow through, and sipping coffee on the deck looking out to the beautiful views of Nevis and the Ocean. The location was truly stunning, really a Caribbean dream vacation. Thank you Ricky and Penny for your hospitality. We appreciate all the thought you give to your tenants. The quick communication throughout our planning and our stay was absolutely 5-star service! Thank you for giving us a trip to remember forever!!

Fantastic Location

This was our second stay at Turtle Beach. Previous stay was in the studio apartment by the same owner as this beachside property. The location is amazing--right on the beach but you need a car if you want to venture further than Cockleshell beach which is the next bay over and is in walking distance. The challenges for us were that by coming in September just about everything at Cockleshell Beach is closed so not a good month to come. Also, it's incredibly hot and the cottage only has air conditioning in the bedroom. The living areas have doors and windows that can be opened but it is still extremely warm and without screens on the doors quite a few mosquitos. If you are expecting the standard VRBO tidy generic environment with Wayfair furniture and decor, this is not the place for you. Cottage is very lived in. It's what you would expect if your friends offered you the use of their house while they were out of town--fridge with food in it, drawers with random items in them, etc. I would definitely recommend this location in other months but for sure not September.

Paradise realized

OMG where do I start. This is the most amazing, secluded property in paradise. My daughter treated me for my 60th birthday. Everything about this this stay was over the top. The property owner Richard stayed in contact up until arrival. The property manager Mr.Franklin was a godsend. He arranged a chef for my daughter and I and the food was outstanding. He arranged for our trip to Nevis and made sure we were looked after. We even got a tour of the marketplace. We felt like family. This place was outstanding and literally on the water. I would go back in a heartbeat. The villa was clean and spacious, and the bed was super comfy. I can't thank you all enough for an amazing stay. The decor was amazing and definitely had a women's touch to it. I also arranged for a local mobile massage therapist that gave me a heavenly massage on the balcony to sound of the crashing waves. I will be back. Thank you Thank you. Hugs and kisses all around. Do not hesitate to book this rare gem!! Respectfully, Andrea
