House had a horrible mold smell. My family got sick from it. Host never responded. We had to leave and scramble to find a safe vacation rental. I wouldn’t step foot on this property unless you want your family getting sick. Host completely ignored the situation probably because they know it has a problem.

The house is super cute!!!! Lovely spot on the beach! Take note that there is a beach access easement for the people across the street so there are people who come through the driveway to get to the beach but they seemed very respectful! Lots of shells and shark teeth and beautiful sunsets! We will be back!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Is all we can say! Gathering for 5 of us grade school pals after 50 years!! Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location. We never left. Had deliveries come to us!! Wonderful beach & sunsets. Pretty private. Shark teeth galore!! Only downfall we'd have to say was little tricky on spiral staircase up and down on our old joints & bones but otherwise, AMAZING!!! Thanks again sooooo much! Hope to be back sometime!!

Our stay was simply perfect. The kitchen had nice quality pots and pans and plenty of dishes. Everything in the home was well maintained and comfortable. We enjoyed many dinners on the large deck overlooking the Gulf. Our host, Andrew, could not have been more accommodating. We had an issue with the stove and he immediately sent someone over to fix it. My family loved walking out the door to go shark tooth hunting! I highly recommend the Turtle House.

We have been coming to Manasota for 4 years now. Our condo we stayed at previously was destroyed in the hurricane. I was so bummed thinking I wouldn’t find anything we liked as much as the condo that was almost in the water! I am so thankful I found The Turtle House! We Had an amazing time! The home was gorgeous and clean. The views were incredible and we can’t wait to come back!

The Turtle House

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.

A little of everything

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!

Shark Tooth Heaven

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.

Location was the best. Home was very dated. AC could not keep home at desired temperature during daytime. Furniture needs updated. Not very comfortable. Home was not level. Perhaps this because it got wet and bowed the floors. Bugs were a crazy problem.

Phenomenal location & home!

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. 💛

Family vacation

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

Our Stay

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.
