Thank you so much for visiting - we hope you enjoyed your stay!
We’ve been a 5-time repeat visitor to Turtle Crawn since 2018. We like the naturalness of the beach area, the friendly helpful staff,
the relaxing atmosphere and the short drive to areas of interest. We’ve already booked our next stay. We’re an elderly couple, and we always leave the Turtle Crawl feeling better than when we got there. I guess that says something, but having said that, young families with kids seem to enjoy it too.
We love Turtle Crawl Inn! It is clean, quiet and has beautiful views of the beach. The staff is wonderful! We come here often.
We loved our stay at Turtle Crawl Inn in Unit 403. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. Appreciate the views, being right on the water and close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Staff was very helpful, and the week went by (too) quickly!
Stayed April, 2023 Villa # 83. Unit was a little dated and the floor plan a little odd the bathroom is a walk through that separates the living area from the bedroom area. However, the unit was clean, and we had no issues. Staff friendly, the location is great for beach access, plenty of beach chairs, beautiful beach area and not overcrowded. Would stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The landscaping, the pool, the beach and all the amenities such as the towels, chairs, umbrellas, putting green, gas grills etc. were top notch. We stayed in 402, and really enjoyed the lanai looking out on the Gulf.! The location is absolutely perfect . The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most nights. We appreciated the towel and paper product service. Rebecca and the other girls were very gracious and helpful. Our only complaints would be the couch was very uncomfortable and the leg on the coffee table was broken so we had to be very careful with it. I am sure the owners will take care of that eventually. Had a wonderful time and will come back.
We will be back!! So hard to leave this beautiful place! Wonderful! Comfortable! Clean! Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful place for our party of 4 to enjoy the beach and the pool. We used the grill one evening—such a nice option provided by management. The booking process was flawless and staff is super friendly and very very helpful. It’s hard to leave paradise but it was a great place to refresh our souls 🌅THANKS Turtle Crawl Inn
This was my first time in Longboat Key but it certainly won’t be my last – but I’m bringing my whole family with me next time! We really enjoyed unit 501, too! The condo was not only clean, comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed – THE VIEWS!! Waking up to the best views and enjoying the sunset was a highlight of the trip. I loved being able to walk right out to the beach and enjoy the day and the sunsets. Can’t wait to be back!
Longboat Key is our family’s top beach destination! You cannot beat the beaches– the best anywhere! Longboat has such a lovely, peaceful, and low-key vibe. Turtle Crawl Inn– UNIT 501 is our favorite place to stay. It has all the amenities we need and the BEST view, being that it is right on the ocean. The unit has views to the South since it is an end unit, and of course the perfect view of the Gulf to the west. The kitchen is well-equipped and the owners have done many updates to make it the nicest unit there! Beds are comfortable, and the nice large closet and dresser help you feel at home, and organized during vacation. We love the small pool that doesn’t get crowded… and putt putt green and shuffle board are fun for the whole family. We highly recommend Turtle Crawl inn, Unit 501.
Turtle Crawl is a true hidden gem! We really enjoyed the amenities (towels, chairs, umbrellas, putting green, etc.) We stayed in 103, and really enjoyed being able to walk right out on the beach! The location is absolutely perfect – very close to St. Armands, Bradenton, Anna Maria, etc. The staff was very friendly, and even had the condo ready for an early check-in so we could come straight from the airport! We absolutely fell in love with this place, so much so that we already booked our next getaway at Turtle Crawl only 24 hours after leaving! Can’t wait to get back!
Michael and I have been coming to Turtle Crawl Inn for 5 years. We are so thankful that we found this little gem. The staff is wonderful…and they know us…which I find charming! Love our villa and love this beach! We will be vacationing at Turtle Crawl for the next 25 years…and if I can talk Michael into it…maybe a wedding! LOL Can’t wait to see it in a couple of week!!!!!
We decided to spend Christmas at the Beach this year but I was worried about the chance of arriving late on Christmas Eve and how the check in process would be handled. “No problem”, Rebecca had everything organized and ready should we arrive late. She even researched what restaurants would be open on Christmas Day and also provided me with the information about the grocery store nearby that would provide on-line ordering and delivery service and she said they would make sure the groceries got put into our unit so the food would be there when we arrived late on Christmas Eve. From the very first contact I made with Rebecca (cold call on the phone) all the way through the entire week, this property and the staff are outstanding! Always tidying up the common areas, etc. It was the most wonderful Christmas we have had in a long time and THANK YOU especially to the staff at Turtle Crawl Inn. We will be back again!
Thanks for your comment Patricia. Glad you had a good time at Turtle Crawl Inn!
My family enjoyed the Turtle Crawl Inn over the Labor Day weekend. The hurricane stayed on the other side of the state. Staff members efficient
and friendly. I am sure my family member living close by will return again. Thank you. Jan Marriott
It was awesome & I will definitely go back again very quiet and peaceful
Our family is local to Orlando and we had the privilege to stay at Turtle Crawl the weekend of May 10-13th. We absolutely LOVED it!! Clean and extremely accommodating! We are already planning on returning in a few months. Thank you all so much! 11 out of 10!
Thanks for your nice comment Jeremy! We’re glad you had a pleasant time at Turtle Crawl Inn!
Enjoyed our second year here! Spent almost two weeks last February…great weather…and returned this year in March for about ten days. Weather not quite as nice, but still loved the location and atmosphere as before. We plan to return again next year! Great staff…wonderful restuarants, and easy access to groceries, Sarasota and other community activities. Wonderful sunsets. Fairly quiet location which we like. Condos spotless, and any amenity provided if able. Grilled out two nights which was a nice change of pace …just home tonight, and miss it already!
Thanks for your comments Diane! So glad you enjoyed your stay!
We stayed a couple of weeks and found it very difficult to leave. We were in Unit #203. It was a lovely one bedroom that was spacious, well-equipped and decorated attractively. The linens were plush and plentiful. Ample kitchenware, plus we used the gas grills that were provided next to a picnic shelter right on the beach. Very clean, comfortable beds, comfortable furniture, good wifi, flat screen TV with cable and very quiet. The building had only 20 units. Beach chairs, a sun umbrella and rain umbrellas were provided. There was a good swimming pool. We enjoyed lovely sunsets from our second floor balcony. Long beach walks started our mornings. The white sand beach stretched about 4 miles in either direction. We have stayed in the area numerous times before and regret we did not know of this place sooner. We will stay at this place the next time we return to the area.
Thanks for staying at Turtle Crawl Inn this year! Looking forward to your return visit.
We stayed at the Turtle Crawl Inn Resort for 2 nights in November 2018. It is a beautiful place close to the beach, but we couldn’t connect to wifi.
We were in condo #61.
We were very happy with the Turtle Crawl Inn. Everything was very comfortable and clean. Being right there on the beach was wonderful and access up and down the coast easy. The only complaint would be that the WiFi was a little weak.
We have stayed in Turtle Crawl a number of times over the past 5 years, staying in the Tower Condos. All these Condos have great views over the ocean
and are the best place to see fabulous sunsets. The location is quiet and right on the beach, sunbeds and umbrellas are provided and there is a decent
pool to relax by too. The Receptionists are very friendly, helpful and efficient at their job.
Loved our 12 days spent there! We upgraded from efficiency apt. to the towers our second day…much nicer! Beautiful gulf views and sunsets! Staff super! Hope to return next year for same extended stay!
Meine Frau und ich haben im Oktober 2017 eine Suite für 3 Tage bewohnt, die unsere Erwartung jedoch total enttäuscht hat.
Für immerhin 557.00 Dollar, also 186.00 pro Tag , erhielten wir mit der “Suite 63” ein dunkles Loch in der Art eines kleinen
Motelzimmers mit minimaler Kücheneinrichtung.
Die teilweise defekte Beleuchtung konnte das Zimmer kaum erhellen und die veraltete Klimaanlage war nachts störend laut.
Geschirr, Bestecke und Töpfe waren bunt zusammengesucht und von miserabler Qualität.
Positiv zu erwähnen sind jedoch die ordentlichen und kostenlosen Strandliegen und Sonnenschirme.
Aber das genügt nicht, um diese Adresse zu empfehlen.
We just stayed at unit #204 for the second time. They just put in a beautiful new kitchen and appliances. the views are simply stunning! Can’t wait to go back next year!
We were able to stay at the Turtle Crawl Inn Resort for a week in November. My wife and I loved it! Our condo (#103) was very clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We especially enjoyed being able to walk right out onto the beach and watched several amazing sunsets. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend this resort.
