Andrew was great and very accommodating! House was beautiful and comfortable. Would be great place with kids.
The view was exceptional and short walk to beach with lots of sea shells and sharks teeth. Made a wonderful vacation, would definitely stay there again!
What a great experience and beautiful location! We are from Miami and we never get tired of great finds like this one. Andrew was really nice and attentive, and extremely accommodating. We were right on the beach! Exclusivity is a guarantee. Will definitely be returning again!
Quite secluded on the beach. Wonderful if you are looking for this. Short drive to stores. As a long term stay be prepared to stock your own necessities. Definitely furnished as a rental. Overall a great experience
This was fantastic location with tropical plants surrounding the house leading out to the vast waterfront. I've stayed at several VRBOs. The one thing I was a bit concerned with is the lack of incidental items for cooking - oils and spices. Other than that... it was super!
Best Ever! This home was amazing! Perfect location (steps from private beach) Close to dying and grocery shopping, James well cared for and immaculate and I stocked with everything I needed. Andrew, the manager was very helpful and responsive to any questions. This is the second time rented features from Andrew… And help to work with him again.
My family of 6 had the best time at this property. The beach is only steps away from the house which made it so easy & stress-free to take everyone down without having to load tons of drinks/snacks for the day. We could easily walk back to the house anytime someone wanted something! The house itself was incredible. We actually spent a ton of time on the porch, as it was shaded and breezy. No sign of bugs or any issues while we were there. Restaurants are all just a few minutes drive. The host was helpful with suggestions & questions. Would absolutely book one of Andrew’s properties again! Can’t say enough good about our trip. 💛
The house was nice we had plenty of room for the 5 of us. We did learn that it’s best to do laundry in the evening. It get’s pretty warm in the house if you do it during the day, with that being said some more oscillating fans would be helpful. Downstairs was a bit musty smelling but we just opened up the windows and it was fine. The dart board could use an update. But all in all
Stayed in the Turtle House for a week. Everything we needed was there. The house was clean and had sufficient cookware and towels. The loft ceiling is a bit low, so you might want to use that area for children only. You’ll need a fan up there! The lower area under the house was great to use during thunderstorms. “Shark tooth hunting” was the reason for our visit and this area did not disappoint! Two thumbs up for The Turtle House.
The location is wonderful, the house is next to the beach. The house was clean but we saw three roaches in three different locations of the house. The description of the property says it sleeps 8 people and is true except that the sofa bed frame is broken and the mattress is old and impossible to sleep on. My son in law had to get an air mattress for the remainder of the stay. The house describes shampoo but there was none, the toilet paper was the cheapest and there was a lack of basic amenities. Finally the grill was filthy and rusted. We love Manasota and this is our third time on the key. I don’t think I will go back to the turtle house.

Unclean Property
Arrived at property an hour and a half after check in time. Check in was very easy. Walked into Turtle House to find rotting bananas on kitchen table, food in refrigerator, beds unmade, bathrooms dirty, jacket on couch, laundry hanging out of the dryer, etc. House had not been cleaned. Host was messaged, and he called back in a timely fashion. We canceled our reservation and requested a full refund. After two phone calls to VRBO over the next two days, they confirmed the full refund would be coming in 5-7 days. This was a disappointing, frustrating and very inconvenient experience.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful beach vacation house, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shore.
Location: 🌊🌴
The house is perfectly situated right on the beach, offering easy access to the sand and surf. We loved waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and enjoying our morning coffee on the spacious deck.
Amenities: 🏠✨ The house itself has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and a cozy living area. The outdoor space is fantastic, with plenty of seating for lounging.
Comfort: 🛏️🌟 The beds were incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the house, such as beach towels and chairs. The air conditioning kept us cool during the hot afternoons, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable.
Activities: 🏖️ There was never a dull moment during our stay. We spent our days swimming, sunbathing, and fishing. In the evenings, we enjoyed watching the sunset from the deck.
Overall Experience: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This beach vacation house was the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a peaceful beach getaway, this is the place for you!
5++ stars
Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Our family enjoyed our stay immensely. Best beach location ever and we look forward to coming back again soon!
The house is perfectly situated on a private quiet beach (and only a few easy steps away from the front door). The view from the porch is amazing for watching the ocean and sunsets. The house was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen was well equipped with a large separate pantry/ laundry room. The bedrooms were spacious and super comfortable. There was a cute loft with 2 twin beds and small bean bag chairs - a fun spot for our kids to have their own space.
Great for those who love the beach with beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels provided and convenient outdoor shower to rinse off. The brand new outdoor gas grill was great for grilling fish. Besides lots of fun at the beach and swimming time, our kids enjoyed reading books in the hammock and playing downstairs and outside. The house is nestled in a quiet tree canopied area- a rare bit of old Florida paradise (although town is nearby if you need it- but we rarely left the peace and quiet of the house and beach). Owner was very nice and provided quick responses to questions. Self check in and out was very convenient. We look forward to returning soon and highly recommend to others.
Perfect vacation home. Steps from the beach and spacious deck with beautiful views. Sunsets are amazing. We hope to be back again to enjoy this wonderful property.
I hate to say too much, as I would like this property to be the best kept secret, but it is fabulous place! I'm going to try to book it again in the fall. Wish me luck, Arbie
We had a wonderful time at the Turtle House. The property is amazing…..the unique round house is surrounded lush greenery which then opens up to the Gulf of Mexico. The views from inside the house are breathtaking, and having cocktails on the deck or beach while watching the sunset every night was just spectacular. Andrew was great to work with and very accommodating (even when I called him by accident on Easter morning!). It was a trip we will never forget, and I hope to stay at this lovely home again.
