Reviewer Comments:
The unit was great. The management company created a problem at check out that they then expected me to correct. I got upset with them because they would not own up to their mistake and make it correct.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr 2026
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the unit, but we need to address the situation you mentioned, as it has been misrepresented.
After your checkout, we sent you a photo of a pack and play left behind, asking if it belonged to you. You confirmed that it did. However, instead of properly verifying, you sent someone to pick it up. Once it was collected, you then claimed it was not yours—contradicting your earlier confirmation.
At that point, our team simply asked that the item be returned, since it had already been removed from the property based on your confirmation. Instead of cooperating, you spoke disrespectfully to our reservations staff and stated that you would discard the item, placing responsibility on us for a situation that resulted directly from your own actions.
We stand by our team’s handling of this matter. The issue did not originate from our side, and it is not acceptable to treat staff in that manner or refuse accountability after confirming ownership of an item.
For that reason, we would not host you again.
This house performed well in hosting our family of eight that included children starting at age 8 and grandparents up to age 71. The location was very good and the beach was gorgeous. The house had everything it said it would and nothing more. Do not expect to find leftover beach chairs, toys, or anything else useful that is not including in the listing. The house is a touch dated, but was still very nice. The mattress I slept on felt a bit cheap, but was firm and provided a decent week's sleep. I never expect a house of this sort to be perfect, so host communication is very important to me. Our host was responsive, seemed to actually care about the quality of our stay, and quickly took care of anything I mentioned. We would stay here again.

Beach house needs dome minor maintenance. Key pad no code, some doors don’t close easily, sink faucet drips, electric outlet with no cover, hair dryer has open wire,All minor things - a good detail check is needed

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention — it truly helps us improve.
Great house, amazing views. The home had all basic home amenities however only towels for the beach - chairs and umbrellas need to be brought (FYI). Loved the location and views. Pool table and jacuzzi were great additions.

The Turtleback Beach house was perfect for our family of 7! The large family room, kitchen, dining area was very nice. Having 2 refrigerators was also a bonus for our family. The pool table was enjoyable as well as the hot tub. We enjoyed the view of the gulf & the beach area was very private it is a deep beach, so be prepared for a walk to the ocean. There are many local restaurants that are close by & have a variety of seafood to order from. 10/10 for this beach house!! We will definitely be back!

I can’t say enough good things about this property!
We absolutely loved our stay here. Our group is already looking to plan another trip back. Can’t say enough about the house and the location, it’s absolutely perfect!
This house was beautiful, clean and just as pictured! My family and I enjoyed our stay and wished it were longer! We'll definitely recommend and be back!
We had a wonderful time at this property! Very spacious and accommodates a big group. The view from the balcony was amazing and access to the private beach was a super quick and easy short walk. Quick walk to beach bars / restaurants too! The beds are VERY comfortable. Would highly recommend staying at this property.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is located right on the beach and the area is not super crowded. The house is very nice and roomy. We had a great stay there and would book it again if we wanted to visit the area. My only complaint would be that the hot water heater and both refrigerators are on the same breaker and it trips every time they are all running at the same time so you have to keep checking to make sure the refrigerators are still on.

Thanks for the feedback, Lisa! We’re really glad you enjoyed the beachfront location and the roomy layout—it’s such a peaceful area. And thank you for flagging the breaker issue. We’ll definitely have our maintenance team look into that so it doesn’t cause trouble for future guests. We'd love to have you back next time you're in town!
Joanie the property manager was great. Well appointed kitchen, 3 refrigerators, comfortable beds and great beach. Tons of lounging areas inside and out. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Rented this property for family vacation—six adults and six children. Property was clean and very spacious. Only drawback was the traffic noise at night, especially for bedrooms on the backside of the house.
