Turtle Beach Resort & Inn

"Old Florida Charming and at the same time rustic. There may not be luxurious details and decor but the stay is luxurious in its comfort and privacy. We stayed in the Cozy Cottage. The cottage was clean with very comfy beds. The living room furniture could use an update, pretty worn. The outside areas of the cottage were wonderful with outdoor furnishings, hammock, hot tub, and a breeze from the best view on the property. It really felt like we were on a houseboat the way we were right on the Bay.The property is small and very peaceful, a sort of secret garden away from the hustle. It was just the escape we needed. We will definitely stay again."

"This was our second time staying at this little inn and we had a lovely weekend! The Caribbean cottage was clean, comfy, and the views were amazing. So many perfect little touches that made our girls weekend that much more special. Just to name a few-Hot tub overlooking the water, your own private dock, kayaks and canoes a few steps away, and waking up with views of pelicans, osprey and other seabirds doing life. Thanks to the staff for the genuine hospitality and kindness. We will definitely be back."

"Me and my two small dogs took a first time trip to Sarasota/Siesta Keys and our stay was absolutely incredible at Turtle Beach resort. Beyond peaceful and quiet compared to other "touristy" cities or resorts. The Rainforest bungalow was truly a hidden gem and private oasis. I ended up spending a lot of time lounging at the room or on the dock of the bay if I wasn't at the beach. I cannot wait to come back!!"

"The pictures we saw before booking the stay were not accurate in my opinion. The staff was very friendly and tried to accommodate us. The facility is just old. Many coats of chipping paint, wood swinging gates that do not latch, boardwalks that are uneven, outdoor lights that may work or may not work, maybe one light on a string of them works like the ones over the hot tub, and entry doors that stick and are hard to close and open. To be fair, there was a storm the day before we arrived. So things were a bit out of sorts. But most of our problems were not from the storm. The cover for the hot tubs are full of mildew. So when you take them off to use the tub, you get to deal with the mildew smell. The walls and ceilings around the hot tub were also full of mildew. I am guessing it is very difficult to keep them clean with the heat and humidity. We had an issue with our first room, the hot tub did not work. Sarah was very quick to move us to another room. The room was large and spacious. But the shower was maybe 30" square. And the bathroom is tiny. The only place to sit in the main room, other than the two high top chairs was a very small couch that sits very low to the ground. And only big enough for one person. The king mattress needs to be replaced. There is a major sag on one side. And overall the mattress was not comfortable. On the positive side, the appliances were great. They looked new. The resort provides a bag of ice in the freezer so you don't have to go buy it somewhere. And the second room hot tub worked great. It is in a great location and as I stated above, Sarah tried to help us. That is the only reason for the 2 star. If only based on the price for the accommodations, it would be 1 star. The bottom line is for the price we paid, the accommodations were not what we expected nor worth the price."
