I stayed here with my elderly parents for a few days and it was such a beautiful place to relax and chill out at, with your own jetty, beautiful garden, lots of lounges to relax on and great facilities . We really enjoyed the whole experience - wish we were there for longer.
Everything is well maintained and clean with comfortable beds.
We saw lots of fish off the jetty and went snorkeling out the front.
You are out of town away from everything but also have a resort within walking distance so have the advantage of being able to go up there for a meal or a few drinks if you don't feel like cooking.
They have thought of everything that you need for a few days or a few weeks - extra towels, water sport equipment, BBQ, torches, DVD's, music, books and a house phone to call local taxi etc. The manager met us on site and showed us how everything worked and gave us some great information on the area, a book was provided with tips and where to find things in case you forget..
We could not have felt more welcome - I have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We went to Vanuatu a few days after a busy Christmas and NYE schedule and looked forward to visiting a place that could offer us the typical laid back atmosphere of a remote pacific island paradise combined with wild and adventurous places that seemingly not many people go to explore.We found all of that and much more after a 2 hour flight and a short drive up the east coast of Santos at and near The Beach House in Turtle Bay.We stayed in one of the two bungalows and I can tell from having worked in 5 star hotels all over the world that The Beach House is not ordinary.From folded towels to welcome flowers the owner seems to have a fine eye for detail and nothing was spared.The cottage sits close enough to the edge of the water that you can throw your left over breakfast toast to the fish.There are all sorts of water craft available and the water was always calm and flat.There is a surf break a little off shore and the snorkelling spots are near and plentiful.
We went to a number of restaurants and bars in the vicinity of the The Beach House ,all of which were of very good quality and very affordable.
We felt comfortable ,relaxed and security was never a concern.Neighbours are friendly and locals in general are warm and welcoming.
If we get another chance to go to Vanuatu we will not bother searching around for alternatives as we don't feel the need to.

How great to wake up in a stunning, natural, well-built bungalow, watch your child put on his sunscreen and bolt out the door to the lagoon that's right there? 6am, and it's sunny, and your child is safe, and it's quiet, and you can lie in knowing that when you wake, amazing pineapples and passionfruit and bananas await.

The weather was just perfect, the ocean almost 30 degrees warm (great for kids who get cold in Sydney's water), the visibility and things to see underwater made my 8-year-old a better snorkeler for sure. And kayaker. And Stand-Up paddle boarder. Mosquitoes were almost non-existent, the bungalow's ceiling fan kept us cool, and making group meals with our extended family was easy and cost-efficient, too. And for nights when we didn't want to blend our own pina coladas or cook, several nearby resorts were just a short moonlit walk or kayak paddle away.

Turtle Bay Beach House is near numerous Blue Holes, Champagne Beach, and the world's best wreck diving. Lovely local people who speak English and French. We thought we'd die without regular internet but checking every other day, in town or at nearby resorts, was more than sufficient. There were also board games and DVDs for this kids on the one short afternoon when it rained.

Don't miss the local market in town - it's small and rustic for sure, but the red papayas, eaten with lime juice squeezed on top, are heaven. As is the local lime juice which must be just local limes with a bit of sugar mixed in.

Beds were King sized, new, and comfy.

Coral Quays diving collected us for dives and returned us. They were absolutely great as well.

The last ten days at Turtle Bay Beach House turned out to be magical, far exceeding our expectations. The house is clean, comfortable, the kitchen had all we needed as did the separate laundry. The deck is brilliant and it, plus the hammocks, had incredible views over the lagoon. A well-placed outdoor shower added to the comfort. The kayaks and paddle boards were well worth using as there are so many places to explore. There is snorkel gear too (we used our own). Willie sorted us all out with exchanging money, stocking up from market, butcher and supermarket before taking us out to the house in his van. We benefited from his local knowledge and were lucky enough to have Alex helping too and making us feel at home in their lovely house. The laplap that Willie provides is a great experience and a 'must do'.

I would highly recommend the house if you are looking for self catering accommodation and our family of six, with children ranging from 18 to 9, thoroughly enjoyed everything Turtle Bay Beach house had to offer.
