Welcome to the pristine white sand beaches, lush green mountains and blue glassy surf waves that make Casa Tortuga in Santa Teresa a natural tropical paradise!
Casa Tortuga is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath tropical style home which provides the creature comforts and quality northamerican building standards, something which should not be taken for granted in this remote area. This modern home is part of a four house gated complex on four acres with 100 yards of beachfront on a magical stretch of secluded Playa Santa Teresa.
