Turtle Beach Resort

We had a lovely time! This part of Siesta Key is so quiet, peaceful and a hidden gem! The walk to the beach is so convenient and the cottage very welcoming and comfortable for the week. Our family and two dogs loved our week here. This is our third stay but first time in over 12 years. Our daughter loved the local SurfIt camp. We will definitely be back next summer - it is just too relaxing! The Resort is small but quaint and affording all the quiet time we needed.

The staff were amazing and the lodgings were well positioned with access to local transportation

Hotel needs to spend some money First appearance is a one star low level property. I thought we were going into a Mexican campground. Outside setting is nice. Staff is friendly. It just needs a complete facelift. Horrible construction. Hot tub cover fell off. Tv is YouTube hard to find channels. Rotting floor boards on porch. Overpriced.

This place was awesome, comfortable bed,beautiful room,hot tub amazing, manatees and dolphins in the canal,what more can you ask for !!! The shuttle to the beach downtown is next door. Beach parking in the lot on the other side of the campground is free !!

Older facility with clean, helpful service.

Great place room was private Kayaks were a blast Would go again

Turtle Beach Resort and Inn is quaint, refreshing and charming. We stayed in a 2 bed/1 bath cottage. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean. The bathroom was a little bit dated, but comfortable and more than adequate. The water pressure in the shower was great! We appreciated the availability of a washer and dryer onsite. I will stay here again and recommend if you are in the area.

Chose this place for our 40th anniversary and for an “old Florida” experience. The location is wonderful - down past the crowded village area and very quiet. A short walk to the beach, and the pavilion where you can catch the free shuttle. We did not have to drive anywhere. We stayed in The Caribbean lodge, which was more private with our own dock. You’re steps from the water, with gorgeous sunrises. This place isn’t for the faint of heart, however. It is VERY very old and VERY very well used. To us it was more like a fish camp experience. The entire compound felt a little cobble together. The owner and staff were extremely pleasant and responsive to any issue, but with some investment in updates, the place could be a real gold mine. Things were just SO OLD and used. The beds were fine as were the linens, curtains, towels, etc. One cabinet door was hitting the other, and the fridge had rust along the outside, but it worked. No dishwasher or disposal, which as fine (but we washed everything well before we used anything). They have a nice large washer and dryer to use, free of charge, as well as other items you may need for your room (fresh towels, soaps, dish sponges, paper towels, TP at your disposal, which was a nice touch). There were beach chairs, umbrella, kayaks, canoes, and hot tub (which we did not get in). Many barnacles on the second step down to get in the boats. It was a bit pricey, considering you could stay at The Don Cesar at St. Pete (Pink Palace) for about the same per night. Overall, we would not stay here again, BUT, if you have little ones who like to fish or you want to experience old Florida, this IS the place. It’s not for everyone so just KNOW it is super old and very worn out. Kudos to the owner who was just a gem and fun guy! We made the best of it and enjoyed our little camp but if you’re a super clean or fussy person and wanted high end touches, this isn’t the place.

We loved the place…Very funky.. The kitchen was so well equipped, that we ate our dinner there every night..We dident have to deal with the expense or hassle…great view from our dining room table. If you like the idea of cozy little cottages by the water, this is your place.
