Guestbook Comment

Debanne and Vince,

I had to write and thank you for the wonderful vacation that my family and I had this past week (Feb 14-21).

"Far Tortuga" is "far" from the regular rental home. Inside...the openness and views of the ocean are spectacular. The kitchen is better equipped than ours at home. The dock and the gazebo was a great place for sunset cocktails. The reef just beyond..offered the most amazing snorkeling.

We truly enjoyed meeting the local Cayman people in Northside. They were very nice and super friendly.

We are already counting the days until we come back next year. BOOK US!!!

We have had an awesome time staying at Far Tortuga. Your home was fantastic. We really enjoyed the snorkeling off the pier and watching the stars at night on the patio. The inside and outside of the home had every amenity we could want.

Vince- Our family celebration/vacation to Grand Cayman was absolutely the best ever and your home was what made the difference. If there was anything we thought we needed, it was there in the house and in great working condition. The bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, and pool toys were readily available and items we didn't need to bring or rent on the island adding to the overall value of the property. We drove around the entire island several times and saw the homes we could have rented for the week but were so GLAD we ended up staying at Far Tortuga. Your recommendations to use BA and McCurley for the car rental, Carolyn as a local cook for our in-home Caymanian meal, and Kaibo Bar & Grill, Over the Edge and Lighthouse restaurants was spot on! Thanks so much for opening up your home and extending to us the opportunity to have a splendid time. And yes, it was sure hard to wake up this morning not listening to the waves break on the shore.

We just got back from Grand Cayman and Far Tortuga last night and I could not wait to write a comment. I am not one to take the time and write a comment; however, we had such a good time I had to share it with others. I have stayed at over two dozen homes all over the caribbean over the years and I must say that this is the BEST I have seen. We had 10 people in our party and the home was so spacious that we never felt crowded. There was never a desire to leave the property because it was so private and relaxing. The house has everything you would ever need and more. The dock and snorkeling make this a very special place. Take all the owner's suggestions because there was not a one that missed the mark from resturants, car rental, cooks, etc. The other main point would be the people of the North End. We were there for 9 days and never met a person that was not friendly and helpful. Trust me, you can not miss with this one.

Just returned from a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Far Tortuga. The weather was rainy, but we didn't care as there was so much to do anyway. Spent lots of time on the gazebo, fishing, playing games on the screened porch, puzzles and snorkeling. The house was very well stocked with linens and every imaginable kitchen utensil. Loved the layout of the house, it was really large and perfect for family gatherings. I ould recommend to anyone.

Thanks so much for renting your beautiful home to us. We had a wonderful relaxing time and the house exceeded our wildest expectations. It was so comfortable and nicely furnished right down to the original artwork. We had all of our meals on the porch and enjoyed how easy it was to prepare meals in your beautiful kitchen. It was my husband's 50th birtday and the wonderful ocean setting and pool made it perfect for him and the rest of us.

All six adults (no chldren) really appreciated the free phone line and wireless internet very much.

We really enjoyed the Sunday bar-b-ques down the street. Great food for the price. The car rental couple you recommended were great, easy and a fair price.

We all agreed your home would be a wonderful place to bring the kids and grand kids. Hopefully, some day we might be able to do that.

Traveled to Far Tortuga with two other couples to celebrate our wedding anniversaries ( two at 10 years one at 13). We had a wonderful time and the home was everything we had hoped for. Enjoyed most days exploring the coral right outside the back door. We saw a large barracuda, a nursery shark and tons of beautiful fish. Even in the “shoulder season” the weather was beautiful and we had sun everyday. We ate at several restaurants to include the Lighthouse, Portifino’s, Over the Edge and Kiabo. All the food was great. Strongly suggest ordering the Wahoo fish at Over the Edge, it was great. Also suggest contacting Carolyn, a local who is a great cook. She prepared dinner for us at the house and it was nice to come home to a cooked meal after a day of scuba diving. The turtle farm is a bit of a drive but is a must see. This house is great for those looking for a relaxing vacation without a lot of tourists. Although nothing is more than 20 or 30 minutes away, the location of this house allows you to feel like a local. We are already trying to figure out when we can return.

Our trip to Far Tortuga was a memorable one. It was a perfect setting for our 40th birthdays along with three other couples (no children). The amenities were terrific, the meals were excellent (especially the Lighthouse and Portofino), and the pool/ocean were very relaxing. We also arranged for breakfast chef services each morning, which was money well spent. There were many memorable activities, including swimming with the sting rays, visiting the turtle farm, or just relaxing at Rum Point in the ocean (or was that a large salt water swimming pool). The snorkeling was excellent. It seemed like we saw more fish each time we swam in and around the reef. For the work-aholics in the group, or just checking in with the kids, the free VOIP phone and the wireless internet were vital lifelines.
