4BR luxury villa

Home in San Pedro

There were 8 of us staying at place and it was great setup. We truly loved having a bathroom for each room, easy access to beach, and our own private pool. Host was very helpful in setting up excursions, providing recommendations, and responding during our stay as needed.

Ken and Megan were incredible hosts from start to finish. Ken was so kind and helpful during the booking process, and Megan was top notch while we were there. She answered me quickly, helped us arrange golf carts, assisted with booking excursions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. The home is absolutely beautiful. The beds were so comfy the views are stunning, and it had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We especially loved how peaceful and quiet the location is, and the path to the beach is just lovely. We spent time in the pool every day, enjoyed the rooftop at night watching the stars, and took relaxing midday naps in the hammock. This was our first trip to Belize, and it quickly became one of our favorites! One of the highlights for me was getting around by golf cart. It completely slowed down the pace of life in the best way, and those drives to and from the house were filled with some of our favorite conversations and laughter! I would 100% recommend!

Ken and Megan were very responsive and helpful in setting up a relaxed low stress dive get away for us. The Villa is exactly as advertised, AC was awesome and the two floors allowed our group to have some space and privacy. It was a great stay out and away from the crowds. Spend the extra time in town when you first arrive to get you food and drinks purchased, it’s a quite a trip back in to town to pick up stuff.

We had a great time at this place!  It is probably the best I have ever stayed at as far as having almost anything you could think of as far as kitchen and bathrooms are concerned. The location was great away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still plenty of good places to eat nearby! Would definitely stay here again

Everything from the house itself to the people running it was wonderful. The only thing was the road to the house is bumpy and a bit uncomfortable.

Megan was incredibly helpful during our check-in and made sure all of our questions were answered. The view was stunning, and the house was exactly as pictured and described. The peaceful atmosphere was just what we needed. The amenities were great, and we especially enjoyed the delicious restaurant at the resort next door. Our entire family truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Turtuga!

My family enjoyed every moment we spent at Ken's place. The sunrise was phenomenal. We sat by the private pool everyday. Local restaurants were not too far away. It was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be going back.

Had a wonderful stay at Villa Tortuga. Well equipped, very clean and the pool was a bonus. Would recommend highly to all.

If you are looking for a quiet, clean, beautiful place for your group or family this is it.  Plenty of room for the 10 of us.  The hosts were wonderful from questions before to meeting us in town and taking us to the home.  They arranged a fishing trip that was loved.  The tiny restaurant at the resort next door cooked the fish we caught and did a wonderful job.  We enjoyed the beautiful bumpy golf cart ride to the home.  Watch carefully because we twice spotted a crocodile.  The nearest grocery store charges over twice what one in town costs ($7 for a can of tomato soup).   We felt it was less expensive to eat out than shop there.  Hope you love it as much as we do!

Place was amazing and Meg was a rockstar very patient and helpful with our luggage when we arrived, as we had a big group. Responsive and helpful. Out of the way but not too far and it was nice. The resort next door always welcomed us for food and drinks and let us use the dock for pick up for tours. Will be back !

Ken’s place was exactly what my big family needed. There were 7 adults and 5 kids. It is a nice drive from the city but the peace, tranquility,  beach access, private pool was worth the drive. We appreciate Ken and Megan for hosting us and highly recommend his place.

This was the most fun trip I had, getting to know San Pedro Belize was an amazing experience and staying at this place was the highlight of my vacation. Thank you very much

Seven of us, five from 16-20 and then my wife and I. My wife is from Belize city so some of her family joined us a few nights and it fit all of us easily. So peaceful and out of the way. If you love chaos and hustle and bustle stay in San Pedro town, but if you enjoy private beach access, peace and quiet, and you like to do your own thing, Ken’s place is perfect. We would drive to town on occasion and the golf cart drive is relaxing and not bad at all. If you’re coming to Belize, my recommendation is to shift gears all the way down to first gear and just stay on island time the entire trip. Relax, unwind, breathe, put your phone down and reconnect. If that’s you, and you have a good sized group,you can’t miss with this house. It is tropical climate so bring bug spray. Lastly, my wish for all travelers to San Pedro is bring your hydro flask and take your water with you from Kens. This is a small island, and it bothers me to see so much single use plastic.

The family that runs this place are very nice! Place was clean and family was very responsive and helpful - thank you! Our low rating is due to the following: 1. First night AC stopped working in one Bedroom and leaked on to bed in the other. Both were fixed the next day. 2. Outlets did not work in our bathroom. This was a bit of a pain as our bathroom was not attached to our bedroom. This was never fixed 3. There was a power outage which lasted almost 2 days. We were baking. When the power goes out there is no water pressure which means no showers, and toilets do not flush. 4. Golf cart ride was almost 40 min into town. Much of the ride is very dusty and bumpy. There are a lot of dump trucks on the road which kick up even more dust. I would encourage exploring places close by as there a few decent restaurants within 10- 15 min. You can use the resort bar/restaurant next to airbnb. Alex their bartender is a good dude. Overall nice place but paid too much considering issues

Dear Mr. Sarj Bains Thank you for your feedback and review. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the island-wide power outage that occurred part of one of the days during your stay. Our goal is to make sure our guests have an amazing experience during their tropical Belize vacation. The power outage, as you are aware, affected the entire island and parts of the mainland on the Wednesday during your stay that lasted for 15 hours from 10 am to 1 am and for 1 hour and 15 minutes on Thursday night. The hours of the outage have been verified and documented by the electric company and confirmed with the neighbors. You contacted our caretaker Sunday morning to let him know the air conditioning was not working in the downstairs bedroom. He drove up immediately, diagnosed the issue and had another unit brought out and replaced it. It turns out it was damaged from a power surge when the power came back on from an earlier outage. When power outages occur, it can cause some electrical issues in the home, and it zapped one of the brand new air conditioners we had installed in November. There are a total of 6 separate air conditioners: one in each of the four bedrooms and one in each of the living rooms. The air conditioner in the living room cools the entire floor, but we also installed one in each of the 4 bedrooms so that you have more control over your comfort on warmer or cooler days and evenings. I am glad we were able to replace it so quickly for you. The outlet in one of 4 bathrooms could not be fixed during your stay as we needed to order a GFI switch/outlet which takes two weeks to get to the island, and of course we ordered spares. We would have gladly provided you with an extension cable if you were unable to access the other 3 bathrooms for hair drying or other needs. If you would have kindly contacted us regarding a request for a refund, we would have gladly found a way to fairly compensate you for the day without air conditioning. Airbnb's written policy is to not hold owners responsible for issues not within their control, such as area power outages or weather-related issues, so they would not have been able to help you directly. We have been responsive to your group’s questions prior to booking, after the booking, during your stay, and Patojo provided a complimentary golf cart for your group’s luggage transportation. Power outages on the island are semi-rare occasions, but they can happen anywhere in the world due to storms or pressure on the power grid. When this happens, our guests can take full advantage of enjoying the beach, taking excursions, a kayak paddle to the reef, snorkeling out front, or driving the golf cart on a day trip north to Tranquility Bay, or enjoying the refreshing pool. We sincerely apologize if the map of the location home on the island which shows our home is seven miles from town wasn’t on the listing wasn’t descriptive enough, and thanks to your review we will provide more clarity. It takes 30 minutes by golf cart to get to the north end of town. The road to town is 3 1/2 miles of paved road and 3 1/2 miles of unpaved road. It is a gorgeous, nature-filled drive with ocean views on one side and lagoon views on the other, with countless resorts, restaurants, bars, and markets, and shops to enjoy along the way. For those guests who enjoy spending time at Secret Beach, it is the same distance from our home to get there as it is to get there from town. When choosing a location to stay on the island, there are those who prefer to get away from the noise and hustle of the town and prefer the sounds of nature and watching the butterflies migrate, the ospreys flying overhead, and the sounds of the local mockingbirds. We have lightning bugs almost year-round in the foliage in the front, back, and side yards, and you see them in the early hours on less windy evenings. Our guests tend to book our newly built pool home specifically to enjoy a much more private, quieter, and peaceful atmosphere at 1/2 of the price of comparable places closer to town, with far more wide-open space and a brand-new private pool with rafts and floats for our guests to use. For comparison, there are a total of 4 private homes with a private pool that sleeps 12 on the entire island, and all of them are much more expensive and some are quite a distance from town. Villa Tortuga is the only home that has separate floors with 2 fully stocked chef's dream kitchens so that your group can enjoy their own living and dining space if they choose. Some of the advantages of being in our location is the closeness to the reef for easy access to kayaking and snorkeling, and the locals know that some of the best fishing is right off our local area docks. From town you would need a boat to access the reef as it is quite a distance from shore in rough conditions. A bonus feature of our location is the free use of the marine park out in front of our home, whereas south of us requires a marine pass for a small fee. Also unique to our area north is the coconut plantation next door, Tutos, which happens to have the nicest beach on the entire island. You will find as many coconuts as your heart desires right on the beach, and we have provided a tool for our guests to easily open them. We recently planted 30 fruit and nut trees so our future guests in the coming years may enjoy freshly picked produce. Villa Tortuga is truly the serene paradise that most guests are looking for in a family vacation home. We appreciate your feedback, but unfortunately, these are issues beyond our control and have done our very best to provide a well-appointed home and quickly handle any issues that may occur during your stay. Ken and Teresa Thank you

Great place to stay A bit of a drive from downtown San Pedro but a beautiful secluded neighborhood Megan (co host) was extremely helpful and worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful visit

Great house, perfect for our group of 8.  Every couple had their own bathroom.  Great view of the ocean.  Host met us at airport and helped take our luggage to the house.

House was great! We rented the whole house for 9 people. There was plenty of room, the kitchens and baths were stocked with everything you need.  Hosts were readily available by text, phone, and email.  Amazing restaurants nearby, but pretty far from town.....which we greatly appreciated.  The whole island is "UnBelizeAble"!

Highly recommend. Good drive from town but very peaceful.

Went with 4 other ladies for a girl’s trip. Our stay was superb! The communication both before and during our trip was remarkable. Megan helped us arrange everything ahead of time (golf cart and transportation) and sent us local recommendations on tours and things to do (as did Ken!). Megan also went above and beyond to help us book our tours with local vendors. All fantastic! Patajo (M’s dad/co-host) even met us upon arrival to take us to the house. He also helped us upon leaving (transporting luggage to the airport and returning golf cart). The house itself was just beautiful. Very spacious but still cozy. Loved the hammocks and the pool. Direct access to the beach with a resort/restaurant next door. The 5 of us felt very at home. The upstairs is very private from the downstairs (for better or worse) with separate entrances. We enjoyed having our own spaces. The house is a 30-40 min ride from town (depending on driver lol) but we enjoyed the scenic drive! Could go on and on!! <3

We went as a family for my son’s 40 birthday. First time for all of us to go to Belize. Ken and Megan were so helpful to us by taking the time to help us figure out the logistics of getting to San Pedro, renting golf carts, suggesting dive shops, etc. we were met at the WaterTaxi and taken to the house. The house was everything we’d hoped for and more. Very nicely done with so many amenities. We did quite a bit of cooking and everything we needed was there. What an incredible view from the second and third floor. We fell in love with Belize and highly recommend Ken’s place.

Tropical paradise! Quite location not far from anything. The pool was added bonus. The local hosts are wonderful! If we could give them 10 stars we would. We are already planning our next trip!

This was our first visit to Belize. We had no idea what to expect but we were excited for an adventure! Ken and his co-host Megan made our arrival, visit and departure so simple! Our on-site host Potojo was helpful and incredibly hospitable. We ran into him in town one morning and he stopped what he was doing and took us on a little tour of the town, complete with recommendations for his favorite places to eat. The house was better than expected. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Our kids (10-12) were super excited about the pool, the access to water and the hammocks. There was nothing missing during our stay. They thought of everything one would need in a home.

The attention to detail in this house was amazing.  Upscale hotel linens, fully stocked kitchen with every pot, pan or gadget you may need along with being clean and having comfortable beds.  The pool with loungers, hammocks on the decks was a great way to relax when we were not in the salt water. Sunrises or sunsets on the rooftop were incredible with an onshore breeze all day every day.  We wanted an escape from the daily hustle and bustle of our world and Villa Tortuga was private, quiet and far enough away from everything that we got exactly what we had hoped for.  The hosts that were our line of communication while there were  always available to come to the house if needed, to help give us info or help book a reservation for us.  We can't say enough about it and highly recommend it!

This house was amazing and getting to wake up to the sunrise each morning was such a treat. The host was amazing and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this place & would love to stay again!!!

This is a hidden gem. It’s secluded, very nice amenities with everything. Great pool! We had our family vacation here and have visited all over staying at many rental vacation homes. It is very safe. Great communication throughout the whole stay and Megan was extremely helpful! I would highly recommend this place! Extremely private beach close to happy hour if interested. Thank you.

We spent a week at Villa Tortuga and it was everything we wanted it to be. The beds were comfortable, the kitchens were great and all the amenities were as advertised. We were in Ambergris to fish the flats and the run in Ken's front yard is a great stretch of water. Patojo and Sabrina helped us out with everything local, from directions around town, suggestions on where to go, and even the best way to buy Belikan. It is a drive on the golf cart to get to Villa Tortuga, but we were thrilled to be a little bit out of town and it helped us to explore other parts of the island versus being content to stay in San Pedro. Really a great way to experience Ambergris Caye.
