About this property

Chateau Tortuga - SUPER cute, Dog-Friendly Townhome Steps to Beach w/ Pool!

Welcome to the Chateau Tortuga, our beautiful villa just steps from the beach. This delightful home near the ocean is situated in the Villa Chateaus, one of PCB’s most sought-after beach communities.

What’s so special about our place anyway? Oh-so-many things! It’s not every day you have a place with easy beach access, pool access, and ocean views all at once. And we’re dog-friendly to boot! How could you want for more?

With enough room for up to eight guests, our home welcomes families, friend groups, and couples alike. There are two bedrooms for spreading out. The primary suite comes with the coziest king bed and warm coastal decor that will make you feel right at home.
As if it couldn’t get any better, this main bedroom has an attached balcony. The second bedroom is equally cozy, with one queen bed and two twin beds. It also has balcony access.
Both upstairs bedrooms have access to the upstairs bathroom with shower/tub combo down the hall.

While you’re probably dying to get out and take a dip in the community pool or hang out at the ocean, there’s plenty of fun to be had at home too. Enjoy game night and great conversation from the comfy leather couches in the living room. An additional full bathroom off of the kitchen is provided for your convenience.
And cooking up tasty meals is a cinch in our modern, well-equipped kitchen. Test your culinary skills with the stovetop oven and ample granite-top counter space. Then gather around the indoor dining table or the outdoor table on the back deck to enjoy quality time together.
Okay, okay. Now it’s time to get outside. Luckily, you’ve got options. If you prefer some alone time, chill on the furniture of Chateau Tortuga’s second-floor balcony, front porch, or outdoor back deck (yes, that’s a doggy shower!).

If you want to venture out, utilize the community pool or shuffleboard within Villa Chateaus. And seriously, the beach is just a short walk away! You will love the convenient beach access, dog-friendly vibes, and ocean views that make for one epic Florida getaway!
You’re also just a 10-minute drive from a place your furry friends (and you) will adore: Pier Park Dog Beach. Let your dogs frolic and make friends beside the ocean!

Perfect little place for our family

The location of this townhouse was perfect for our stay - somewhat away from the busiest part of PCB but still close to plenty of restaurants and shops in PCB and nearby Laguna Beach. We could easily walk from the house to the beach, and the community pool was right next door.

We’ll be back!

This property is perfect! We loved the area. It was very easy for kids and our two small dogs. The only complaint was the beds were pretty hard. Some memory foam mattress toppers would help out quite a bit. I am already looking at other properties owned by the same company for our trip next year! We would love to stay at this listing again but we may have more people with us next time. Thank you to the owners and management company for an awesome stay with an easy check-in and out experience.

Could you a update in the bathrooms as well as the sofas. Some stains on sofa. Pet fee was extremly high for only 3 nights. I do understand its a cleaning fee however it was more than what others do charge, even with a shorthaired dog, trained and respectful of premesis.Contact with property was quick to respond and very efficient.

We loved staying on the west end of PCB. Quiet and easy access for us to ride bikes to Conversation Park. The unit was pretty well equipped. Nice touch with welcome bag and spice rack! The unit was nice but we found that it may need a good thorough cleaning in the bathrooms. Along with a few other minor things such as room darkening curtains in the master bedroom would be a plus All in all we enjoyed our stay.

I do recommend a large rug in front of the door on the inside. Water on ceramic tile isn’t a good combination. I learned this the very first night there. Other than that, this is a great dog friendly, neat home.

Comfortable Home Away from Home

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at 25 Chateau Rd. Perfect home away from home. The walk to the beach was manageable - and the nearby public beach was not very crowded and wonderful. The pool and shuffleboard court near the home was a great alternative to the beach. The home was great for our group of 5 - clean, spacious and comfortable. We visited PCB for a softball tournament - and this home was near both ballparks. Also, a quick drive to Pier Park. We had a great stay and would definitely opt to stay there again.

Our new rental home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family of 6 plus two fur babies. This place has an outdoor shower which is great after coming off the beach! The only downside is that the pool closes at 6pm which means no swimming ability once it's too dark to go in the ocean. We had quick, attentive maintenance service that came to take care of our issues on the day-of. We will definitely be staying here again!

It is located next to the pool and the beach is right across the road. It has everything we needed. Kitchen is well equipped to cook, bake your favorite meals. Only downside is that we needed to wash the dishes,glassware before use,since some were dirty. The home itself was clean and comfy. Costumer service was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our stay. The unit was very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed as a family of 4 and two dogs. We loved how close we were to the pool and the beach was just right across the street! We especially liked the back deck area. It made spraying off from the beach so easy. There was plenty of green space for the dogs. My onlySuggestion would be for the second bedroom to have blinds or black out curtains.. the curtains in that room are sheer so it made for early rising kids. Other than that, we loved it! We will definitely stay here again!

Unethical treatment, DO NOT RENT FROM BLUE SWELL

Blue Swell aggressively evicted my Disabled Airforce Veteran husband, myself and our 2 small children over a technicality buried in their 6 page contract. We were 100%compliant, but they gave us 45 minutes to leave before calling the police, which had my children crying in fear. We lost $2500 and this brutality ruined our 1 summer trip. Please find another company that won’t entrap you with a lengthy contract
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Oct, 2023
Hi Kendall, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We would like to start by thanking your husband and your family for their service. Upon review, the reason you were asked to leave was due to the fact that your party was far over the limit for the number of guests that the unit allows. There were also multiple cars parked in unauthorized areas. Per your rental agreement, there are no parties allowed on the property. We never want to disrupt a family's vacation and we deeply regret having to do so in this case. Please understand that as the property manager, our primary responsibility has to be to keep our vacation homes in good working order and protect them from damages, police complaints, and other city fines. We want every family to have a peaceful and enjoyable vacation. We hope you can understand that we do not allow the type of disruptive and vulgar behavior that your party demonstrated. 45 minutes is the allowable time for you to collect your belongings and depart the property. However, as we explained over the phone, it would be fine if it took you a bit more time so long as we could see that you were departing. We never want to contact the authorities if it is not required and would only do so if left with no other options. Thank you again for leaving us a review and we sincerely hope your next vacation is a better experience for your family.
