I had the privilege of staying at Turtle Bay House 3 as a solo traveler and it was perfection. It is spacious and beautifully appointed. The views alone are worth the price; a wraparound deck with lovely furnishings makes it easy to enjoy them. The owners' spectacular artwork, collected during more than 15 years in Malaysia and Hong Kong, adorn the interior. Furthermore, I felt like I had a private pool during my entire stay as other guests spent most of their time exploring the island; again, the views from the pool are breathtaking.
Loved the convenience of a washer and dryer. The bed was comfortable. The wifi was super strong - I could easily stream music.
The location is unbeatable, just a 10-minute ride from the airport, and about a 40-minute drive to the southernmost tip of the island, a half hour to the northernmost. But you could go without a car rental; there are grocery stores and beaches within easy walking distance. Though the house is on a hill, so you have to negotiate a bit of an incline.
The cherry on the sundae of the experience was the kindness and generosity of Robert, who owns Turtle Bay with his partner. For instance, when I didn't have butter and the stores were on the verge of closing, he brought over enough to last me my trip, as well as a bottle of wine. Also, he allowed me to stay much later than checkout as due to a late flight.
Hands down, Turtle Bay is the best value of the island and I hope you have the opportunity to stay here.
