Perfect duplex in the heart of downtown Port St Joe. We stayed a few nights with our dogs and the fenced in back yard was amazing for potty breaks. Super close to the restaurants and shops and centrally located for trips to the State Park or Port St Joe Beach.

This was the best place for us to stay during our trip. The Turtles Nest was clean and very nice, and close to downtown. The host made our stay PERFECT and their communication was top tier! We will definitely stay here again. If you are thinking about staying here, do it. You won’t regret it! There is even a fenced in back yard if you are traveling with your fur babies.

The hosts (Richard & Ginger) make each stay at their beautiful cottages a welcoming, relaxing and wonderful time. The cottages have every amenity you could ever want or need and decorated beautifully. Richard and Ginger are hosts that go and beyond for their guests. We especially appreciated that we were able to bring our dogs with us without any extra fees that other hosts usually charge. The beautiful back deck and fenced in back yard are another bonus to staying in the cottages. This was our second stay at the Turtle's Nest cottage, and we've already booked our 3rd stay for 2027. Definitely a 5 star stay for us!

Richard and Ginger were amazing hosts. From the moment we booked, the hospitality was non-stop. Weeks before our trip, Richard sent over restaurant recommendations, beach access points and things to do. This made knowing where we wanted to go to eat the whole time so easy. The duplex had a HUGE yard that was great for our high-energy pup - she loved being able to rub around all day. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were phenomenal. Within walking distance to downtown and a fully stocked kitchen for our seafood boil. We will definitely be staying here again during our next stay!

My wife, kids, and I spent a long weekend at the beach, and stayed here. Everything was exceptionally clean, with zero issues. Communication with the host was just a phone call away. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip.

Check in was easy. The entire duplex was setup perfectly. The kitchen was setup for easy food preparation during our stay. The location was close to downtown restaurants and convenient to boat launch, etc. The property had space for our vehicle as well as our boat. An excellent place to stay. Thanks
