Tge condo was great! We were looking for a clean, affordable, simple place to stay for fall break. This was the place. Right on the beach, easily accessible elevators, good location. During the week we stayed, tge weather wasn't the best, so the game room came in handy! Ping pong, shuffleboard, and arcade games hit tge spot... especially when they're all free! We also enjoyed the outside swing and corn hole that is set up and ready to play. We ready enjoyed the stay and tge extra amenities were a nice touch. There is also an area with beach boards, floaties, and other items offered for tge beach that are free to use. We had a wonderful stay even on the days that motger nature didn't cooperate! We will return!

Perfect Getaway

This property is perfect for a couple to spend a few days in the sun. Great location. Loved the white shiplap walls and the aqua beachy turtle decor. The view of the ocean and pool from the front windows was a pleasure to see every morning. Would definitely rate it a big 10.

It's too small for two people. The view was nice, but only if you sat near the window. Pool and gulf view. Too congested and having two beds in the room eliminates the couch which only faces the beds. Short of electrical outlets in convenient places. End tables were tiny and limited setting things we needed. Wouldn't stay there again. The beach was beautiful and the highlight of the stay. Otherwise, it's not a relaxing room at all.

Perfect weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property has many amenities that we made use of (swimming pool, snack shack, loaner beach toys, vending machines, free beach chair rental). Excellent location for the money, super close to everywhere we were interested in going. There's a public beach close by that we stopped at upon arrival to wait for check in. Overall we had an excellent experience!

Very nice place

This is a cute place to stay with a beautiful view of the gulf. Convenient to lots of shops & restaurants. It has 2 beds and could technically sleep 4, but it is small, and I think more than 2 people would be pretty tight. We stayed during the off-season. The pool is not heated so it was not useable for us. The snack shack was also closed. However, Pineapple Willy's is a short walk up the beach and has great food and drinks. The beach is pristine and the sand is so soft! Overall a very nice place.

Top of Gulf condo

Well maintained clean, great view but no balcony, wish I understood no visitor policy better before booking, but it worked out. Wesring wrist band for days at a time is also a little over the top and not very healthy. All that said now that I know I would be able to decide if we would stay there again and still might.

I love to stay at the Salty Turtle rooms. They are always clean and updated with beautiful views. They have a kitchen so if you want to cook you can. The pool is nice and always clean and the beach isn’t far from it. It has free chair rentals so no need to have to bring chairs. The host is always a pleasure to deal with. She is the sweetest and will answer any questions you have.

Stayed weekend after labor day. Was told by the host we could get there early to use the pool before check in and was greeted by the front desk kind of rudely saying we couldnt do anything until check in. After i told her that i was under a different impression, she checked us in anyway. Not sure why that happened when it seemed like it was normal do to this. But that was easy fix. Greeted by a wonderfully clean room! The place was great overall. Kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately the snack shack was closed but only had a sign that said "be back later", by later, i guess that meant next season. The beach chairs were a great plus! Really enjoyed not having to lug so much to the beach. Location was great. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Host sent follow up emails during stay to make sure everything was good. I would come back again!
