Beautiful property!! Easy check in and simple check out. Host responds promptly. The home worked well for our family - lots of sitting areas and was nice it had 3 bathrooms for a larger family to get ready. We were visiting AZ for a family wedding which took place only a mile from this home. The home is centrally located with easy freeway access (Canyon Lake was lovely), and only a few miles for good shopping!! It was a very special time here. Thank you.

Great Home away

We rented the home as a central spot to anchor for a wedding in the area. The home was great - extremely clean and well kept and the hosts were very understanding. Although we didn’t get to enjoy the water or pool as much as we’d have liked to, it was still beautiful and calming to see and enjoy.

Very nice property

We really liked the outdoor space and the quiet mornings and evenings overlooking the water. The gated neighborhood is very attractive and well maintained. The photos accurately reflected the actual home. Some things could benefit from an update, especially the master shower. We enjoyed our 4 days at Turtle Pines!

Nice View - Needs Updating

Backyard is delightful and nice views. Birds are loud and nest around the house. Some might like it others might be annoyed. House didn't feel professionally cleaned. House is needing an update as decor and everything are dated along w carpet.

Thank you for staying with us. We haven’t heard any other feedback on a birds nest and will check that out. Yes the house is old and does need updating, but pictures are accurate. The carpet is 3 years old and we keep rental cost low compared to the area so there isn’t alot left over for updating right now.

Paradise doesn’t say enough!

This house is fabulous! Every bedroom had it’s once unique decor. 3 bathrooms meant we were all ready to go for what ever plans we had made for the day. The promise of turtles was fulfilled within minutes of arrival and a relaxing kayak trip around neighborhood and you could find tons more and plenty of ducks. The spacious house allowed tons of space for our entire family to stretch out and relax. The outside patio was great for sunbathing and enjoying the beautiful Arizona weather. We definitely will check the availability for this house next time we are in Gilbert!

Definitely recommend!

We are a group of over 60 life long friends, and we spent 7 days, 8 nights in this home, and had a very nice time! Lovely slightly older home, mostly well maintained. We had 1 issue that the owner quickly responded to. The pool was amazing, the beds very comfortable, and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. We commented more than once that the home actually appears lived in off season (which is a good thing). A lot of times there are minimal cooking utensils and very poor cookware, and this was not the case. Our only suggestions in the kitchen would be more baking sheets! It would also benefit from more table space in the home. We play a lot of cards and games at night, and there was only the kitchen/dining table available.All in all, a very lovely home, and we would definitely stay again.

Turtle Palms Exceeds Expectation!

Our group of 8 family members had a fabulous Christmas vacation at Turtle Palms! It was immaculate, well stocked, open and inviting. They even had Christmas decor up around the house that made it very festive for our celebration. The location was ideal in relation to resources for food, entertainment and shopping. We were close to the freeway to access the larger malls as well as the airport. The star of the week we spent was the gorgeous view from the back of the home. Being on the lake was magical as all the homes around us had lights up for the holiday-they sparkled and reflected in the beautiful water! Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets delighted everyone but were especially appreciated from the Master Suite balcony. Having use of the kayaks was also a much appreciated amenity. FYI, the lake is manmade and very calm so beginners will have no problem on the water. We used the pool and hot tub~5stars there for sure! This home has two stories which allowed for the children to have some quiet at night while the rest of us talked, played games and laughed till we cried :) The neighborhood is gated (!), beautiful and QUIET. If you're a noisy, rambunctious group and want to take it outside, I would caution against this rental only because of the absolute peacefulness of the location and neighbors. The owner was incredibly responsive during Christmas week and an absolute joy to work with. We'll be back!!!

With all of the graduation festivities and celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary with family in town this home was perfect for all of us to unwind, relax, enjoy the views, and the cute turtles that came up to the deck each day. This home allowed ample space for the family to spread out when we needed a break and also gather in multiple sitting area areas. There was plenty of space for everyone and everything. This home is beautiful and in a wonderful community here in Gilbert and close to just about everything. Perfect for those visiting and staycations alike! 10/10
