Our Resort
A quiet beachfront home on Longboat Key
Turtle Crawl Inn sits directly on the white sand of Longboat Key at 4235 Gulf of Mexico Drive — the barrier island between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf.

What our guests remember
A very good location, and I would be happy to return
Great property, right on the water. My wife and I had an amazing trip here, we will always remember it. It located about 10 minutes from Lido Key. There are plenty of restaraunts on longboat as wellz and there is a coffee spot 3 minutes away.
Wonderful stay for our family of 3 (including a two-year-old). Clean, spacious enough to host my parents when they came to visit. A/C works great. Zero complaints.
Clean and well located. Beach was right out the door. Putting green was fun as well as shuffle board. They even had beach chairs and lounges to use at the beach. Only drawback was the tv remote in the living room did not work and it also needed a new dvd player. Vent fan in bath needs to be replaced. Other than those two items, stay was great
We had a wonderful stay at Turtle Crawl Inn while in town for a family reunion. We had a fifth floor unit with a balcony overlooking the beach. It has a 1970’s flavor but that’s part of the charm. Looking for a peaceful, laid back stay, Turtle Crawl Inn is highly recommend. We will be back.
We have been clients that go every year.
excellent location. Great view. calm and quiet perfect for relaxing
We enjoyed at stay very much! We’ve stayed at Turtle Crawl Inn several times and it’s always nice. Love being so close to the beach with the wonderful view. Our condo 504 was nice and had everything we needed.
Second time at this location and will be back.
The apartment at the Turtle Crawl was perfectly adequate for our needs. The best part was immediate access to the beach (you open the sliders and the beach is right there!) While everything was nice and clean, we did feel that the apartment needed some updates in terms of decor, quality furnishings and things like bed linens and pillows which were polyester. Same for the drapes and general decor. It is a peaceful spot though and very quiet and family oriented. We just felt there were a few things that could be a little better in terms of quality and maintenance.
Great place to stay
TC is our family’s home-away-from-home every summer. Our friends invited us 8 years ago, and we have joined them every summer since. We have traveled and visited amazing places, but this is the vacay our entire family looks forward to. Our summer stay at TC has become a tradition. We truly love TC; Margaret and Noelene, and the staff, are very accommodating, and always make us feel welcome.
Great unit. Well run facility. Right on the most beautiful beach in the world
Very quiet and peaceful and the beach and pool were never crowded. Just what we needed.
Great place Great people Margaret is the best ever
