We’re Brian and Brenda Montgomery – Turtle Villa is a part of our larger dream, Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas..
This story has been a long time in the making. In fact, it goes all the way back to 2003, when Brian received a life-changing diagnosis.
When you learn you have Stage 4 cancer and are given just six months to live, you begin to reflect on the things that are important to you.
For us it was family and loved ones first and foremost – and the wonderful experiences we could share together.
It was during that trying time when the idea of a beachside retreat came to us. But our dream seemed just that – a dream.
Brian was undergoing treatment, and we were fighting with all that we had to hold on to him.
One evening, with the lyrics of the Beach Boys’ Kokomo washing over us, we made a bold decision. We’d fight through this, and when Brian was well enough, we’d begin exploring the beauty of the Caribbean.
That day finally came, and we were off to Jamaica and then Aruba shortly thereafter.
Years passed, and life intervened, but that dream was always in front of us.
Then one year our travels took us to the stunning beaches of Placencia, Belize.
With its perfect weather, gorgeous setting and wonderful people, Placencia captured our hearts like nowhere else. We knew we’d found the setting for our dream.
It started with Casa Sunsandsea, and that gave us so much joy we expanded! You'll find Turtle (and the entire area) designed for spending time with loved ones – for relaxing, connecting and making memories together.
It’s luxurious, private and a true home away from home in one of the most relaxing settings in the world.
And we’re delighted to have you join our family and become a part of our story.
- Brian and Brenda
