Everything We Needed and More!
We had a great family (12) stay at Far Tortuga. The house had everything we needed and more.
Grand Cayman is also an amazing place with top notch service everywhere we went. Brad’s recommendations were spot on.
Can’t wait to do it again!

Grand Cayman's Best Kept Secret!
We have been coming to Grand Cayman for over 20 years and we stayed at Far Tortuga more than 15 years ago. It was awesome then and EVEN BETTER now!
The new owners did a massive renovation and it is awesome! The villa offers everything you could possibly need for an unforgettable vacation - spacious living areas, a gorgeous infinity pool, and direct access to the water. We snorkeled and fished from the private dock and swam/kayaked from the private beach.
Brad (our host) was wonderful, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfect. This villa is truly Grand Caymans best- kept-secret! We would recommend this to anyone!

Amazing!
Far Tortuga on Grand Cayman was awesome. The Villa is spacious, with a private sand beach, a nice heated outdoor pool, massive pool deck that we all hung out on, and a long dock that we fished off of and snorkeled to a coral reef close by.
What really struck me is how large the villa is from the inside. It was able to accommodate all 16 of us with ample privacy. The location is quiet, perfect for relaxing but also close to exploring the island and going to beachfront restaurants.
Brad, the host, is super friendly, quick to respond, gave us tons of suggestions on where to eat and activities to do and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it’s a great spot to escape the cold and unwind in paradise! We are coming back next year.

WOW is the Word That First Comes to Mind!
We have traveled to many island destinations over the years, but this experience tops our list! The Villa is stunning and huge with beautiful views! We definitely underutilized the property with only 3 couples, but the main living area, pool, and beach all got plenty of use.
Of all the VRBO’s we have been to, I have never seen one so fully stocked. The kitchen had every imaginable cooking utensil, pots, pans, coffee bar, two massive fridges, and wine fridge. Snorkeling equipment, kayaks, pool toys, all supplied. No need to pay for rental equipment for these activities!
After a few days of private quiet time, if you get that social itch to roam around take a short drive to Rum Point to experience an amazing beach, outdoor bar, and restaurant. Another close beach is starfish bay. Relax, snorkel, and bring your cooler (provided in the Villa) for the day.
The owner Brad was very responsive before and during our trip. Definitely returning!

Paradise Found at Far Tortuga!
Far Tortuga is the perfect island escape! The home is stunning, spacious, comfortable, and set right on a pristine stretch of beach.
Waking up to breathtaking ocean views, stepping out onto the soft sand, and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters just steps from the house made this an unforgettable stay. The private pool and outdoor space were perfect for relaxing and soaking in the beauty of Grand Cayman.
Brad, the host, was incredibly responsive and made everything seamless, while the on-island manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Their hospitality made our stay even more special.
If you’re looking for a private, peaceful retreat with a beautiful beach and top-notch service, Far Tortuga is it! We can’t wait to return.

Amazing Stay
We had an amazing stay at Far Tortuga! Our family of 11 adults had plenty of space, and the house had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped.
One of the highlights was snorkeling right off the dock—such a fun and convenient way to enjoy the beautiful water.
The owner, Brad, was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. His attentiveness added to the overall experience, and we truly appreciated his hospitality.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation home!

We Had the Most Amazing Experience
We had the most amazing experience staying at Far Tortuga in Grand Cayman. This beautiful property offered everything I could have asked for and more.
The house is stunning, with spacious rooms and incredible views, but what truly stood out were the outdoor spaces and the incredible snorkeling right off the dock.
The beach was absolutely gorgeous—pristine, peaceful, and perfect for spending hours just soaking up the sun or walking along the shore. The highlight for us was definitely the snorkeling. The water is crystal clear, and we were able to swim with vibrant fish, sea turtles, and even rays, all just off the private dock.
Brad, the host, was phenomenal. He made sure we had everything we needed, gave great recommendations for local activities, and really went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
We can’t recommend Far Tortuga enough—if you’re looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway in Grand Cayman, this is the place to be!

Spectacular Family Vacation
Our stay at Far Tortuga in Grand Cayman was absolutely incredible. The villa offers stunning ocean views, a peaceful atmosphere, and all the comforts of home in a luxurious setting.
The spacious, well-appointed rooms and fully equipped kitchen made our stay comfortable and convenient, while the pool and private dock provided endless relaxation and fun.
Brad, the property manager, was fantastic—attentive, responsive, and full of great local recommendations. The villa’s secluded location allowed for a quiet retreat, yet it was still within a reasonable drive to top attractions like Stingray City and Rum Point.
Far Tortuga is the perfect getaway for families and groups looking for a beautiful, private escape in Grand Cayman. We can’t wait to return!

Great Place for a Big Group
We took our entire family (16 of us) and had a wonderful time!! The house was amazing with lots of room for everyone.
The kitchen had everything to cook a gourmet meal! The walk out the back door of the screened in porch, onto the deck with the pool was spectacular but the scenery beyond was breathtaking!!!
Brad was a wonderful host and he answered any questions quickly and his recommendations for dinners out was very helpful. We loved it here and can’t wait for possible return trip.

What a Great Getaway
Six couples in our family stayed at Far Tortuga for a week and had a wonderful getaway. The house accommodated us very well.
Each couple had a private bedroom with its own en-suite bath, and the gathering spaces were large enough for all of us to play games, dine together, watch TV, or just visit. We snorkeled and kayaked right off the private pier and enjoyed sitting outside or in the screened porch every morning. The kitchen is well equipped, and we used it a lot.
Brad and Gigi were great hosts and responsive to our needs in a timely way. We recommend Far Tortuga if you plan a trip to Grand Cayman.

A Slice of Paradise in North Side
We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning villa in North Side, Grand Cayman. The property is beautifully maintained, with breathtaking ocean views and direct beach access. The villa was spotless with a well-equipped kitchen making it feel like a true home away from home.
The location is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility, away from the busier areas of the island. We enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling right off the beach and even spotted colorful fish and a stingray! Nearby attractions like Rum and Starfish Point were just a short drive away, adding to the convenience.
Brad was exceptional—attentive, responsive, and provided great recommendations for local dining and activities. The little touches, like the beach, snorkling gears, and the dock lights that were installed while we were there, made the experience even more special.
If you're looking for a relaxing retreat in paradise, this villa is the place to be. We can't wait to return!

A Memorable Family Trip
Well let’s begin! Brad and his place the Tortuga was amazing!
We had our whole family with us and let me tell you it’s not easy navigating 13 people. He had everything that was needed for entertainment.
Brad was an amazing host and responded very fast. He gave such great information about the area, restaurants and things to do. We as a family love our trip and where we stayed.
When and if we came back we would definitely try to stay at the Tortuga. Thank you Brad for such a memorable family trip! Your place felt like home away from home. It was an unforgettable memory we will never forget!

Far Tortuga was Awesome
Our family has been coming to Grand Cayman for years. We have stayed on 7-mile beach and in the Northside/Rum Point area.
Far Tortuga was awesome. Our large group of 13 including 5 kids had a blast. Sandy beach. A huge dock with a covered gazebo to fish, snorkel and swim off of. Great pool and pool deck area. Spacious bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, and huge great room. The owners thought of everything: kayaks, snorkel gear, plenty of pool furniture, arcade games, crib/high chairs, etc.
Our entire group said it was one of the best vacations they have ever taken.
We are booking again for spring 2025. Thanks Brad (host).

Already Planning a Return
Our friends were looking for a relaxing beach getaway and Far Tortuga did not disappoint. The property is absolutely breathtaking and meticulously kept. With our party of 10, we easily had our own spaces. The open area kitchen was great for cooking and meal preparation.
Brad went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing and entertaining stay. From dining recommendations nearby to the on-site kayaks and snorkeling equipment, the amenities were superb.
We are already discussing when we can return as a group with friends or family. Thank you, Brad for the immaculate beach property and responding to all our inquiries promptly.

Perfection by the Sea
Our stay at Far Tortuga was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the villa's serene beauty and the thoughtful details throughout the property. The private beach felt like our own little slice of heaven.
The villa itself was spotless and spacious, with everything we needed to feel at home. The open living area was perfect for our family to gather. We loved starting our mornings with coffee on the dock, watching the sunrise, and ending the days with a swim in the pool.
Brad went above and beyond as a host, checking in to make sure we were comfortable and offering excellent recommendations for restaurants and excursions. If you’re dreaming of a peaceful, luxurious getaway, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

A Dream Vacation Spot
We brought three generations of our family to Far Tortuga, and it exceeded every expectation! The property is designed with families in mind—plenty of space for everyone to relax, large kitchen for group meals, and thoughtful extras.
The highlight for us was the dock and gazebo area. We fished, snorkeled, and even spotted a sea turtle one evening! The pool deck was another favorite hangout, with comfortable lounge chairs and pool fun for the kids.
Brad’s hospitality was outstanding. He answered all our questions promptly and even helped us arrange a private boat tour. It’s clear he truly cares about his guests having the best experience possible. This was hands down the best family vacation we’ve ever had, and we’re already planning our return.

An Oasis of Relaxation
Far Tortuga Villa is everything you could want in a tropical retreat and more. The location is peaceful and secluded, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the natural beauty of Grand Cayman. The villa's design is stunning, with panoramic ocean views, spacious bedrooms, and a pool area that feels like a private resort. The restaurant recommendations were on point and we enjoyed a few enjoyable meals out.
We spent our days lounging on the beach, taking the kayaks out, and exploring nearby attractions like Starfish Point. The evenings were equally magical, with the dock lights illuminating the water and the sound of waves lulling us to sleep.
Brad was the ultimate host—kind, responsive, and full of great tips for making the most of our stay. The little touches, like the welcome snacks and the perfectly maintained beach gear, made us feel truly pampered. Far Tortuga is a gem we can't wait to return to!

Wonderful Property, Well Appointed, Great Location
We spent Chrismas week at this newly-renovated property. It’s in a great location, close enough to all of the amenities at Rum Point (parks, beaches, water sports, restaurants) but far enough where you feel secluded with your own pool and beach.
We loved both the house and the area and would stay here again. The property was just renovated and was light and airy. Everything was well appointed. The kitchen had every pot and pan and utensil imaginable, even a crock pot and rice coooker. Plenty of plates and utensils.
Bedrooms were nice, all new bathrooms, and fold out beds in every closet so we could arrange where the kids stayed easily. The bunk bed even had a trundle. The owner was very accommodating with providing cribs and high chairs on request.
Beach was great, a bit rocky and some seaweed but not a problem and there was plenty of beach for the kids to play on. Great snorkeling location, lots of conch and easy to wade out to the reef, and there is plenty of snorkel equipment pro.
Rum Bay is a 10 minute drive, the beach nearby at Starfish Point is very nice soft sand as is the one at Rum Point Resort where you can have someone bring you frozen drinks all day if you want that. We made a couple of trips to the west side / seven mile for activities but we liked staying on Northside and would do so again.
The property manager was highly responsive to our minor issues and questions. This is a well managed property in nice shape, great for extended family stays.
