Beachfront! Stunning! Isla Tortuga
Welcome to the beach! Isla Tortuga is a first floor, fully renovated condominium, located across the street from Babe’s Beach. Unobstructed beach view with a private, spacious balcony! From this balcony, guests can watch the sunrise and take in the beauty of being at the beach. Isla Tortuga was created with guests in mind, to create a comfortable space where each and every person feels welcome.
Isla Tortuga is located on Seawall Blvd, directly across the street from Babe's Beach. This condo is approximately 1,000 sq. feet, with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed, & the spare bedroom has a queen bed. Additional sleeping: a queen size air mattress & Pack 'n Play. The only place inside Isla Tortuga to set-up the queen air mattress is the living room.

POOL: Unfortunately, the pool's surface was stained due to an extended power outage after Galveston was hit by Hurricane Beryl. Please understand, the pool is cleaned and maintained regularly; however, you will still be able to see stains on the bottom. The pool is slated for a resurface but we do not have a confirmed date.
A wristband is required to use the pool/hot tub at the condo complex. We leave one band in the condo. A guest doesn't have to wear it; however, please bring it with you while using the pool/hot tub. At checkout, please leave it on the dining table. A missing band results in a $20 fee.
Isla Tortuga is located in an ideal location, on Seawall Blvd, which is close to many restaurants and attractions.
