Important: Before check-in, the primary guest must complete our Guest Verification process. This helps us comply with short-term rental regulations and provides added protection for guests and the property.

Damage protection is required for every reservation, regardless of where you booked. During verification, you will choose one of the following options:

Interaction
We are a local, professional team and are here whenever you need us. You will have a direct line for questions before and during your stay, and we keep our communication Clear, Calm, and Complete. We are happy to share local tips, help arrange a boat rental, or sort out anything that comes up, while still giving you the space to enjoy your getaway.
Interaction
Tortuga Bay sits on Lake Anna’s private (warm) side in Bumpass, the quieter, more residential half of the lake. The private side has no public marinas or ramps, so the water stays calm, warm, and uncrowded, with an extended swimming and fishing season. Mornings are glassy and the shallow cove is ideal for little swimmers, while anglers love this side for bass, crappie, and catfish right off the dock.

Nearby you will find lakeside dining at The Cove and Tim’s at Lake Anna, plus Vito’s, Asian Cafe, and Tavern on the Rail. Sip and sample at Lake Anna Winery, Cooling Pond Brewery, Coyote Hole Ciderworks, and Lake Anna Taphouse. Families love Lake Anna State Park, the Boardwalk’s mini golf, and Moo Thru ice cream. Marinas at Anna Point, Dukes Creek, and Sturgeon Creek offer gas, rentals, and bait. Fredericksburg is about 35 minutes, and Richmond, Charlottesville, and Culpeper are each about an hour away.
Access
Self check-in is easy with a smart lock and a unique code for your stay. The home has a circular gravel driveway plus space to the left of the garage, with room for up to 6 vehicles. Please park only on the driveway, not the grass, to protect the septic field. Full arrival details, directions, and your code are sent through the guest portal before your trip.

Wine Tours: Discounted hourly rate for our guests with our partner, Monticello Wine Tour & Coach Company. Just let us know if you are interested and we will make the introduction!

What Guests Are Saying

5.0 18 reviews

Guests return to Tortuga Bay again and again for the private cove with its own little beach, warm swimmable water just steps from the house, and a game room so well-stocked that families spend entire evenings playing oversized Jenga, foosball, and pool without ever leaving the property. The separate apartment above the garage gives teens and couples their own retreat, while the main house stays spacious and quiet. Kayaks, paddleboards, a brand-new swim mat, a firepit by the water, and a hot tub make this the kind of place where guests lose track of time and leave wishing they'd booked longer.

My family stayed here for a weekend and had such

My family stayed here for a weekend and had such a blast. There’s so many things to do and we didn’t want to leave at all. We enjoyed grilling, kayaking and canoeing, foosball, darts, enjoying each others company over a fire, watching the sun set on the dock, fishing (we brought our own rod and bait), and dancing until quiet time. We would love to come back again and stay longer! Thank you so very much for hosting. It was an amazing experience for us all.

This is a great house for spending time at the lake. They have great options for water toys and just got a brand new swim mat! The garage is great, and there are so many games! The room above the garage is private for anyone who wants to stay away from the rest of the house. The AC in the house and the garage works great!! The host is great, and we would stay here again!
