Perfect House

We stayed at Tortuga Inn for 3 nights (4/10 - 4/13). It was myself and my husband, our son and daughter-in-law, and 4 year old grandson. I can't say enough great things about the house and our host! The check-in/out process was seemless and Pam was very accommodating with early check-in. The house was immaculate, and adorably decorated, the beds were super comfy, and only 3 blocks from the beach and restaurants. The outdoor pool was amazing, lots of floats and a wagon to pull. Really, this was one of the nicest houses we've stayed in. Thank you so much, Pam!!

Great Galveston Gem

My husband and I came to Galveston to visit family in the area get some beach time in. We were very pleasantly surprised by the condition and cleanliness of Tortuga Inn. The house and pool was exactly as advertised, was extremely clean and has the best location! Property management was very helpful and checked in on us to ensure everything was going well. We are definitely going to be staying here again on our next trip to Galveston!

Family Friendly and close to the beach

Very spacious and family friendly. Almost felt like two different properties! The downstairs family room (TV, Fridge and couches) and bathroom connected to the pool (heated!) and patio area was very nice. The upstairs with was also spread out with the bedrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room are very modern with updated appliances. A washer and dryer right next to the kitchen was very convenient. Just a few blocks away from the beach too! Would love to stay again if we're in the area.

A fun time for our family

Our family of 3 generations (grandparents, parents, and young children) enjoyed Tortuga Inn for 4 days in April. The property was very efficiently laid out. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 to store our things, fix meals, and relax inside and out. A pleasant surprise was some extra items at the property such as a wagon to pull our stuff to the beach, beach chairs, a few sand toys, pool floaties, and games to play inside. It was a convenient walk to the beach, Gaido’s and other restaurants. It was a short drive to the Galveston Strand, pleasure peer, and the train museum. Moody Gardens was also nearby. The pool was a little small but worked perfectly for the young children and was heated to 85 degrees, which was great for the cooler days in April.

Great location

This property is close to the Seawall, grocery store, restaurants and bars. The pool was great, covered BBQ grill area, lots of seating outside. Lots of kitchen utensils, dishes and pots. There is not a pull out sofa in the basement, there are two smaller sofas. There is a large sofa upstairs that can be used as a bed as a last resort. However, they did provide us with a blowup mattress, which was much appreciated. The pictures that are posted are not accurate, not as many chairs in living room and no large sofa downstairs. The dining table was huge!! The washer/drier was used a lot! The cleanliness was not as good as it could have been, could’ve used some new shower curtain liners, grout in the master floor tile and a new towel bar. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay for 5 adults and two kiddos under 5.

Family vacation

We had a great time. Rooms were nice. Had everything we needed. Pool was a nice get away from being at the beach all the time. Things that you may consider working in: there were loose tiles near pool that need to be repaired, blinds in king size room were in closet and in the way (I placed them flat to prevent damage), baby gate was broken- we attempted to repair as we needed to use it, drawer in refrigerator was broken and would not slide, roaches in game room and pool area. Again, enjoyed stay. Game room was a plus - offered extra things to do.
