The Sea Turtle is a very nice place to stay. The pictures were exactly what the townhouse looked like. The beach was awesome. I would recommend it. I will definitely be staying there again.

About the host
Hosted by Lagenia Clark
Hi! We’re Dave and Lagenia, a husband-and-wife team based in Houston, TX. We met while serving in the U.S. Army, got engaged on our second date, and have been married for over 30 years. We have three amazing adult children who still keep life fun and full.
We both love to travel—I’ve been to 41 countries and Dave has been to 39 (yes, we’re a little competitive!). And after visiting beaches around the world, we can honestly say none compare to the one in our own backyard.
I'm originally from Radcliff, Kentucky, and Dave is from Rockville, Maryland. I graduated from Vanderbilt University, and Dave is a proud Citadel alum. Today, Dave works in the travel industry, and I work in franchising—so hospitality is truly close to both of our hearts.
We fell in love with Okaloosa Island while visiting friends and knew instantly it was the perfect place to create a beach retreat for our family. Now, we’re thrilled to share it with you! Whether you’re coming to relax, explore, or make memories with loved ones, we hope you feel right at home at the Sea Turtle House.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always happy to help before or during your stay!
Why they chose this property
🏖 Why We Chose This Neighborhood + Local Attractions We fell in love with Okaloosa Island after visiting friends nearby—it’s the perfect blend of peaceful, family-friendly beaches and exciting nearby attractions. The beach right outside our home is stunning, but there's so much more to explore:
🚗 Distance 🌟 Attraction 💬 Why We Love It 2 mi The Boardwalk & Island Pier Beachfront restaurants, shops, and free summer fireworks every Wednesday—watch right from our deck! 5 min Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park Dolphin shows, sea lion exhibits, and a sea turtle rescue center—great for all ages. 5 min Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone Arcade, ropes course, mini-golf, laser tag, and more—perfect for kids (and kids at heart). 10 min Emerald Coast Science Center Hands-on exhibits for kids and curious minds—ideal for rainy days. 10–15 min (by boat) Crab Island Destin's famous shallow water sandbar party—rent a boat or book a shuttle for floating fun, food, and music. 15 min Destin Harbor Charter boats, dolphin tours, parasailing, and waterfront dining—close enough for a fun day trip. 15 min Air Force Armament Museum Free admission to an impressive collection of historic aircraft, missiles, and military exhibits—perfect for aviation lovers and curious kids.
Whether you're planning to unwind, explore, or entertain the whole family, this area offers the best of the Emerald Coast—without the crowds. That’s why we chose to call this special spot home—and we’re so excited to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
🐢 What Makes The Sea Turtle House Special Our home was designed to bring the beach to you—from sunrise to sunset! As a corner unit, you'll enjoy unobstructed ocean views from every level, with triple sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and primary bedroom.
We love spending time on our two spacious balconies and ground-level patio, all with breathtaking views of the Gulf. Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a cocktail at sunset, there's no better place to relax.
And in the summer (from Memorial Day to Labor Day), don’t miss the Wednesday night fireworks from the pier, just 2 miles east—you’ll have front-row seats right from our decks and windows on the 2nd and 3rd levels.
It’s these little moments—paired with the space, views, and comfort—that make Sea Turtle House so special.
