Tortuga is a very prestigious property in Siesta Key, but not at all stuffy. Unlike most other condo developments, it's not overrun with cars and views of concrete from other complexes. Tortuga is directly on the beach and there is a huge grassy courtyard with tropical flowers and wonderful landscaping. Ground floor garage parking is provided, leaving a beautiful view all around and great security, too. As you know, Siesta Key boasts that it has the recently ranked #1 beach in the world. To the north end of Siesta Key, there is a lovely, quaint village with great walking, fantastic restaurants and a great weekend farmer's market, too. There is also a very busy public beach at the north end of Siesta Key. Tortuga is at the prestigious and far quieter southern end, known as Turtle Beach. The shelling here rivals Sanibel. The gulf views are amazing. The bay side with fishing docks and boating slips is just a two minute walk away, too. The drive along Midnight Pass Rd. in this part of the key has a tree canopy, multi-million dollar homes, and just a few condos. It's not overrun with touristy hotel-like condos like the northern end of Siesta Key. Although all of Siesta Key is great, the southern end doesn't have traffic congestion problems, is far more quiet, yet is just a short drive (or even bike ride) to Siesta Key Village. We really do believe we've found paradise here! Tortuga is very friendly. It is unique in that it has an indoor-outdoor pool, an expansive newly remodeled community room, elevators, and is wonderfully maintained. In the unlikely event you would have any difficulties in the condo, Brian, the full-time superintendent of Tortuga, is always there to help out. If you desire your own weekly cleaning, our maid can stop by to help you, too.
