ST KITTS 'Turtle Nest' At Turtle Beach, A Comfortable Two Bedroom Apartment

Located on the beautiful Southeast Peninsula of St Kitts, Turtle Nest Apartment is the perfect Caribbean getaway for the non-fussy traveler looking for basic and comfortable accommodation.

The views from the veranda of Nevis and the Caribbean sea are simply spectacular. The apartment is just a few steps from Turtle Beach, a quiet sandy beach which has excellent snorkeling over the coral reefs.

Turtle Beach is not a groomed beach and often has seaweed. When calm it has one of the best reefs on St Kitts accessible by land. We live in a very quiet residential area and our beach does not attract cruise ships. Often you may only see a handful of other people on this unspoiled natural beach.

A 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive will lead you to Reggae Beach Bar & Grill at Cockleshell Bay. Here you can enjoy complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. Water Taxis and private boat charters to Nevis are also available to hire from Reggae Beach. Cockleshell Bay Beach is home to Spice Mill Restaurant and the Park Hyatt Resort is located at Banana Bay Beach close by.

Other beaches that are great to explore and enjoy on the peninsula include Banana Bay, Majors Bay, Sandy Bank Bay and South Friar's Bay. Frigate Bay is a 15 minute drive away where you will find The St Kitts Marriott Resort and Casino, as well as a variety of restaurants, shops, health spa, fitness center and an18 hole championship golf course.

Whether you are planning a family holiday, a break with friends, a honeymoon or just want to escape with the ones you love, we look forward to welcoming you!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Paradise! Turtle Nest has the most spectacular views! The privacy and romance vibe of this place was perfect for our 25th Anniversary. Reminded me of a lil Hawaii. Loved the location of the place - quieter than Basseterre and closer to the best food at Spice Mill Restaurant & Reggae Beach Bar for drinks and swimming. Hope to be back every year!

Stay here!! Absolutely amazing and picturesque location. The views were beautiful, super close to great beaches like cockleshell beach, reggae beach, banana bay, etc. Also close to great restaurants and a quick drive to town. We were able to go everywhere we wanted to within 15-30 minutes. Definitely rent a car. Driveway was a little steep but the ford explorer we rented from bullseye rentals was perfect. It was also so cool to see all of the monkeys around! The property manager was very lovely and kind. Truly cannot say enough great things about this vacation rental

Had a great, relaxing time!

Finally a relaxing vacation. The place overlooks a beautiful bay at the quiet end of the island. Had a great time swimming and grabbing food down at the Reggae Beach Bar. It’s a small island so it was only 15 minutes drive to grab groceries or to be surrounded by more people. Good times.

Nothing Better

If you are looking for the best quiet , relaxed place to stay in St Kitts. This is it! Having a local house manager (Michele) that can help you with any local places and activities including Nevis is worth the $$ in house chef. The owners are also locals.

Perfect location at Turtle Beach

We loved our stay at Turtle Nest. The property had everything we needed and was spacious and well maintained. The location provided absolute privacy and quiet evenings. The host was wonderful. She met us on day one and gave us great advice on where to dine and relax. We didn't have to leave the pinninsula to have a great time and enjoy fantastic food and beaches. Reggae Beach Bar is nearby and is a place we could easlily have spent the entire week.

It was a dream vacation staying at Turtle Nest!! Breathtaking ocean views with easy access to Turtle Beach. My husband and I loved snorkeling there and saw an abundance of healthy sea life. Our accommodations were super comfortable with any and all amenities needed. Michelle is so welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We especially loved having breakfast on the porch every morning with our new bud Ziggy! Highly recommend venturing over to Reggae Beach for lunch and/or a few drinks. It’s close enough to walk. The grilled lobster and lobster salad were outstanding! We were definitely forced to “rush slowly” after that meal. Returning to St. Kitts and staying at Turtle Nest again, can’t come soon enough… we have found our new home away from home!

Secluded getaway

High on a hill with a beautiful view of Turtle Bay. Very relaxing there and so so quiet. Our host Michelle was on top of everything. The house had everything you would need to start off with. Very clean and the beds were so comfortable. We traveled to several beaches that were close by and the water taxi to Nevis was five minutes down the road. Make sure you go over there to the Sunshine Bar. The beach is gorgeous there also. We had a wonderful time in St.Kitts and at Turtle Nest.

Turtle Nest Review

Great stay. The Turtle Nest unit is accurately described in the description. It was very clean and nice, but is not a “fancy” accommodation. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most of our meals. Location is excellent if you want a quiet, private stay. Spectacular views and walking distance to beach. Short drive to several beautifully maintained beaches. Excellent communication and responsiveness from owners. 5-star rating and would definitely stay here again.

Doesn’t get better than here!

If you are planning on visiting St Kitts & want a quiet location with wonderful views, stay here! From the start, the communication was wonderful - from the directions, to the pages of information covering restaurant suggestions to beach suggestions to so many other things, we were so well informed before even arriving. The on-site property manager called us when they had a tropical storm roll through so we had up-to-date warnings. Also, the official “make the guests welcome” cat made our stay homey. The apartment was just perfect!

Secluded with Great Views of Nevis

The apartment was clean and modern with everything we could ask for. One of the selling points is the view of Nevis from the patio. In February, it was always breezy, but this kept us cool. If you like seclusion, this is the place for you. There are maybe a dozen other homes for neighbors with a few beaches, bars, and restaurants not too far away. You may want to plan for a max of two days of travel to the northern part of the island. Because my son was taking scuba lessons, we traveled north four or five times which got to be a bit much. The trip is 25 minutes to Basseterre. The owner's Reggae Beach Bar is a great hangout and be sure not to miss Salt Plage at sunset.

Great place to stay in Turtle Beach

At the outset this property seemed to good to be true, great price for a 1st floor fully furnished 2 bedroom apt with ocean view so I did some more inquires and put down a deposit. Now we're home and wishing we were still in St. Kitts. The property was what was expected and too many positives to list. Bottom line if you want a 2 bedroom, 2 bath rental and don't mind the drive to the southern end of the island away from all the hustle and bustle of the cruise ship crowds, then this place is for you. Full kitchen was very helpful along with the washer and dryer and AC in the bedrooms. Owners of the property (Gary and Mary) were amazing as were their pets; we already miss the company of the black and white cat (forgot its name) and their little dog Gidget. Only negative was the dirt road travel as the road hadn't been graded in some time. You will need a rental car as calling a taxi for going to town for meals or shopping will get expensive unless you plan on eating all your meals in. St. Kitts is a great place to vacation and this property is as advertised; probably can't ask for anything better for the price.

A comfortable apartment with an amazing view!

We had a wonderful week at the "Turtle Nest" on St. Kitts. The apartment was meticulously clean and very comfortable. We slept great every night on the very comfortable king bed. The view of Turtle Beach and Nevis from the balcony is amazing! Michelle (the property manager) is a great host who is willing to share a wealth of helpful information and is never intrusive. She provides the perfect balance of being engaged and available while giving us complete privacy. The fresh eggs, bread and water in the refrigerator upon arrival was appreciated!Part of the beauty of "Turtle Nest" is the serenity of the distance from the town. It is about a 30 minute drive to the nearest grocery store. The dirt road in from the main road is rough and you must go slowly. We rented a jeep and the extra clearance was helpful. We suggest you go to the grocery store on your drive in.Beach access at The Reggae Beach Bar on nearby Cockleshell Beach was great. Turtle Nest provided snorkeling equipment which we used. We also took the water taxi to Nevis for the day with no problems. There are some restaurants nearby. We recommend going to Lobster Fest on Friday nights at Reggae. It was fabulous food and fun! Breakfast overlooking the beach at the Park Hyatt was pricey, but wonderful and beautiful. We had a great vacation! Thank you Michelle for everything!

Phenomenal Property!!

I’m former travel agent for 25 years & we have traveled all over the Caribbean. St Kitt’s has by far been the absolute best island ever!! So easy to navigate, amazing restaurant options & the beaches are awesome!! Turtle Nest Apt was also one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Very spacious & clean! Comfy beds and the floors weren’t a sandy mess. Loved having a few island essentials in the refrigerator when we arrived: bottled water, fresh bread, eggs. Ziggy the cat was always awaiting our return every evening & meowed at the door first thing in the morning. We loved having him around. Loved the ease in communication. Our trip had to be unexpectedly rescheduled last minute from June to end of July & they were flexible in allowing us to change our dates. Which this was very much appreciated! I’ve already recommended this apartment to many of my friends & we will be back!! And, Reggae Beach was amazing & very close - highly recommend LobsterFest on Friday nights! By far the best beach was Salt Plage (it’s “closed”) but it was recommended by some Ross Vet Students & we went 3 days. Security Guard just advised to cleanup after ourselves & enjoy. No facilities here but beautiful dock to enjoy under the palm trees, snorkeling was amazing & the have yolo boards that you can use & put back. Sunset here was beautiful. Rush slowly & enjoy St Kitt’s like we did!

Charming Suite with Great View

We really enjoyed our week at Turtle Nest. There is a resident cat, Ziggy, a real sweetheart who will move in with you for the week if you let him. We're cat people, so Ziggy really made us feel at home. The owners of the property leave food under the sink that you can feed him if you want to encourage him to hang around. Otherwise, this is a charming well-equipped suite. It's cozy but very comfortable and quiet. It's not newly renovated but is nicely furnished and decorated, and very quiet except for the sound of the ocean. The windows are all screened so can be left open for a nice cross breeze. We never turned the AC on. There is a large deck that runs the length of the suite which has great views and very comfy lounge chairs. Turtle Bay is a two minute walk down the hill. It can be quite rough when the wind is up, but it's still possible to swim near the shore, and there is a decent snorkeling reef out past the remains of the wooden dock that's accessible on calmer days. And yes, there are turtles. As others have mentioned, the beach is not groomed and there's a fair bit of sargassum build-up, so it's a not a beach you walk to feel your toes in the sand. You can walk in about twenty minutes via a short-cut path to Reggae Beach, which is more sheltered for swimming and has water sports and activities - and two good restaurants, Reggae Beach Bar, and Spice Mill. The path starts at the east end of Turtle Bay beach. There are signs pointing into the foliage, which is a little thick at first but soon opens up to a dirt road going right into the Reggae Beach Bar parking area. We found Turtle Nest to be a great value for the money. We'd come from a week on Nevis at a much more expensive villa, and thought it might be a bit of a come down, but we were very pleasantly surprised and would happily go back. I deducted one star for 'Location' only because the dirt road from the highway is very rough in places. Just go slowly, which is good advice for any Caribbean holiday.

Our stay at turtle nest was even more than I expected. We loved our little cottage. It was a very short drive to the Reggae Beach. The drive into town was 20 to 25 minutes, but it was kind of nice being away from the crowds of the big city and the beaches. I would definitely stay there again. Saint Kitts is beautiful. I wish everyone would take the opportunity to go visit.
