Important Information Regarding Accessibility Needs

Please be advised that the Turtle Crawl Inn is not a place of public accommodation as defined by the American Disabilities Act (ADA). Rather, individual owners separately own the Turtle Crawl Inn units. Each residence is different and offers unique facilities and amenities and for this reason the Turtle Crawl Inn is largely inaccessible to persons with disabilities, including persons using a wheelchair. Of course, whether the Turtle Crawl Inn is accessible to you depends on the accommodations and features you require. Please call to discuss any specific questions about the Turtle Crawl Inn and the residence in which you are interested.

The following features will give you a sense of what is and what is not accessible:

The Turtle Crawl Inn consists of multiple buildings constructed in the 1960’s and 70’s. The facility is not a place of public accommodation as defined by the ADA and, therefore, does not meet the accessibility requirements of the ADA. That said, there are some accessible features at the facility. We have attempted to identify and describe features at the Turtle Crawl Inn and its residences in enough detail to permit individuals with disabilities to assess independently whether it meets their personal accessibility needs. However, we cannot possibly list each and every feature of the residences, amenities, space or elements applicable under the ADA. We are also aware the individuals with disabilities are not all the same and may require different or unique accessibility features to accommodate their needs.

We encourage dialogue with our prospective guests and all persons interested in being guests. We welcome your questions and will do our best to meet your needs. Please contact our office staff with any questions, comments, or concerns.
