My wife and I stayed at the Sea Turtle Studio for the second time in the last year. Both times, we had unforgettable experience at the property and at Culebra and will happily come back.
Overall very happy with our stay. The porch and views were great. Loved waking up to such a beautiful view!. We do not cook a lot on vacation so difficult to review thoroughly. We did boil and fry eggs. There were 2 of everything needed. Liked the lickbox for key so we didn't worry about loosing while we were out. Walking distance to a great garden store, restaurant and liquor store.
Great place over looking the harbour. Centrally located with easy beach, shopping and restaurant access. Would definitely recommend! Great accommodating hosts!

Nice cozy studio. Great view from balcony. Would stay here again.
This is a delightful vacation condo set high above the water with a lovely balcony and view. It is bright, clean, nicely decorated and equipped with all you might want, including beach chairs, towels and a cooler. We highly recommend it!
Our second time to this amazing location Never Disappoints! Heather answered any questions I had promptly .. Very clean , great location , Beautiful view ! Thank you for a lovely stay
The view is amazing! Beautiful sunrise and stunning sunsets. The sea breeze is so nice to enjoy from the porch in the hammock it will take just a few minutes to fall asleep.
Simply heavenly!
I had a wonderful stay. I enjoyed this studio which had a wonderful view, quiet neighborhood, and i felt very safe. It was very clean with all of the amenities, and felt cozy. The owners Heather & Alonso replied right away to any questions i had. Also, they had very good recommendations on where to eat! My only regret is that i didn’t have more days to spend there… I would stay there again.
Staying at Sea Turtle for three days made my wife’s and my experience in Culebra truly memorable. The view from the veranda on the bay was breathtaking - it would be quite challenging to find a comparable view anywhere else in mainland US or Puerto Rico. The property is conveniently located within walking distance of a grocery store, a market, an airport, a couple of restaurants, a bar, and a seaport/pueblo. In fact, we only used the cart to get to Flamenco Beach. The property was very clean, well-maintained, and the host was responsive to requests about navigating to the property, wifi, etc. We would definitely return the next time we visit Culebra!
Clean, great location, beautiful view. Kitchen and bathroom could have been stocked a bit better for 8 day stay but overall clean and beautiful. Look forward to coming back!

Beautiful view and cozy comfortable space
Loved the neighborhood, the view, and the amenities of this home away from home.
We spent 4 nights on Culebra at The Flamenco and got exactly what we'd hoped for. Comfortable accommodations with a great view and centrally located to explore all of Culebra's beaches. AND a great covered outdoor seating to relax, read and enjoy quiet island time. Definitely 5 star buy island standards.
Really beautiful lodging, bedroom with king size bed positioned just inside the balcony that overlooks a lovely bay. Very clean with good sized kitchen, living room, and bathroom.
Quick drive to everything. We enjoyed snorkeling at several beaches and had delicious pinchos at Playa Flamenco. We returned twice to Dinghy Dock for dinner.
The SeaTurtle suite was the perfect suite. It had all the amenities you would need. The view from our bedroom and balcony was amazing. Close to everything but you should definitely rent a vehicle or golf cart. The owner was always quick to answer my questions or concerns. I give this place a 10 out of a 10. Well worth the price!
We had such a great experience staying at this suite. It’s conveniently located, close to everything and with such amazing views of the water! We had an unforgettable experience at Culebra. The suite had everything we needed, from pot's in the kitchen to beach chairs and a cooler to take to the beach. Our kids thought the sofa pull out bed was comfortable. Although they froze at night with the large ductless AC overhead. It cooled the suite into an ice box, a bit too cold for our liking. A couple of ceiling fans would be a nice option to avoid the frost in the room. Overall, an Amazing Stay!
Gorgeous island, but not sure if I would rent this place gain
The island is amazing, although the place we stayed in could've been better. It had a beautiful terrace and cute little studio, but there were many things that could be improved. Bathroom has no vent and window seems to be broken, so no way to open. The listing says 4 people can stay comfortably, but there were only 2 towels and 3 forks. The dish sponge is used by previous tenants. Furniture handles are full of dust. The shower drain is dirty with someone’s hair. The beach chairs are broken. And of course, we could ask the property manager to fix all this, because they were responsive. At the end we came for vacations where we could relax and not deal with this day-to-day routine. Seems like this place is mostly focused on how to increase the profit with minimum investment. Not sure I would book this place again.
Excellent location, hospitality, helpfulness, and friendliness for those who want a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Alfonso and Heather were extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay! Would highly recommend, but leave some time for our return :)!!

This was a great place to stay in Culebra. Just as advertised, everything was new. It is a very cozy and clean studio with a balcony that gives you a fantastic view of Culebra Bay. Loved its colors and turtle-inspired decorations. It’s very close to everything, the airport, the town, restaurants and tour meeting places. It has air conditioning, wifi, a TV with Dish Network programming which for me was a plus because at Culebra by 8:00 PM everything was closed and I could watch the NBA Playoffs. The shower sprays mildly warm water at most. It has a beach cooler and beach chairs you can borrow. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.

This property has it all: insuperable views, convenient location, quiet neighborhood and all the comforts one needs for a relaxing start. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has all the basics you need and the AC works very well. The terrace and the views are exactly as shown in the pictures, that is, stunning.

Excellent Location; excellent view from the balcony; very clean and all amenities included are a guarantee of a wonderful vacation.
Sea Turtle studio was a great place to stay during our week in Culebra. Heather was very responsive to messages and Alfonso took great care of us while we were there. Studio was very clean and well kept. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
The pictures were an exact reflection of the property. It was extremely clean and the view from our balcony/sitting area was very relaxing. The owner, Heather, put a lot of thoughtful and tasteful sea turtle touches throughout our Sea Turtle Studio. In addition to the regular amenities (pots/pans/dishes, coffee, cooler, and beach chairs), there were other helpful items not normally found in an Airbnb (toilet paper, paper towels, bug repellant, disinfectant wipes and first aid kit) that we appreciated having using. The air conditioner cooled off the unit very quickly and was actually a little too chilly for me; but perfectly comfortable for my husband. Lastly, Heather was very responsive (the property manager, not so much), even when I didn’t expect her to respond to my late night texts via the app. There was a helpful guide in our room on the restaurants and the suggested ones we chose did not disappoint. It was nice being in a neighborhood with the locals and felt like we were 10 minutes from everything...the grocery store, gas station, airport, drive thru bar, and most importantly, Flamenco Beach. The horses, dogs, and resident cats were friendly and not frightening in the least. I don’t know why there were so many roosters on the island; but their wake up calls were cool. All in all, this is a retreat I would gladly choose again. There are only 2 knocks on the property...the bed was too soft both of us and we couldn’t stay longer to take in that amazing view..
