เทอร์เทิลครอว์ลอินน์

We have stayed at several places on the Gulf side of Florida. First at $350 + a night our room did not on par. The refrigerator did not make ice. We had to put milk, water, drinks in the freezer to get them cold. Then when informed management on duty, it was and??? look. Refrigerator not fixed. Next it was a cold room, at 65 degree. Tried to get heat - furnace did not work. So we snuggled to keep warm. Snuggling is not a complaint- no heat is. Cleanness was a issue as off mold-musty oder was prevalent walking into room. Blind shades held together by zip ties. Very small bathroom, no area to put on makeup. Very dated !! Bottom line would not recommend staying here. As we will not be staying here next trip to Florida Gulf side. The view was top notch - but not worth everything to go through.

The condo was modern, clean and very well equipped. Cannot complain about a thing! The beach is spotless and was never crowded. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is always plenty of parking and some nice places to eat nearby. Would definitely recommend booking unit 64 @ Turtle Crawl.

We just returned from a week long stay. Check in/out was easy and the ladies at the desk are so kind! The villa was clean and well equipped with everything we needed and more! The resort itself is small which guaranteed us space on the beach and time in the pool. We used the bbq grills almost every night, and they were always clean! Guests were mostly families or older folks, and all were respectful of the resort’s rules and quiet time.

We rented joined condos 61 and 62 at Turtle Crawl Inn over Thanksgiving with another couple - it was two bedrooms shared by a common living space.   The condos at Turtle Crawl are owned individually but managed by the Turtle Crawl Inn Property Management company.  While we can't speak for the other condos, we can speak for 61 and 62  We should have known what the experience was going to be like when we got the keys to the condo (first picture) Absolutely THE worst rental experience ever.  I think "a picture is worth a thousand words"  so will share the pictures we took of this abomination which included rusted shower holder, a green tub from the 1940s with no mat that was frankly dangerously slippery to take a shower in, cracked tiles, stained table chair pads (all four) and stained couch, rusted trash barrels, side bed tables in room 62 with no lamps or clock - one lamp for the entire room - (we know why now, too much light would have revealed how awful it was), half a beach umbrella (front desk did give us two), old used air fresheners attempting to mask the constant musty odor (BTW, we went to Publix and bought refills and antiseptic spray), dirty painted surfaces, especially around door knobs. Could go on but will let the pictures do the talking. What was good? The refrigerator kept things cold and the TVs worked. As the week progressed management, I assume, decided to start holiday decorating, but abandoned the attempt; as they left an extension cord leading from a storage closet to the half-lit bushes, across our doorway; not to mention the abandoned grocery cart full of decorations at our front door. We did bring our concerns to the property manager on our first day there and asked if we could move to another condo or were willing to move to two individual condos and we would pay any difference in cost for the remainder of our stay.  They offered a 20% discount for their tower condos but not a refund for the place we already had paid for. They also told us the elevator was not in service there. The property rep said that since these are owner-owned, they would bring our concerns to the owner.  They offered a $207 credit on a 2,072 total bill for 5 nights.  Nothing else was offered.  In hindsight, I wish we had charge-backed the entire bill on our credit card.  These accommodations definitely influenced our stay in Longboat Key negatively. The beach is beautiful - no doubt about that - but it did NOT make up for the accommodations. 

Great location, Beach front with easy access. Plenty of beach chairs, friendly staff, resort is a little dated, but we had no issues. Our unit # 83 was clean and had no issues. Beach area is beautiful and not overcrowded. Would stay again.

This place is very nice with a great location on the beach. Not fancy but great for us. Now the not so good. The bed was not very comfortable and squeaked like crazy! The A/C worked great in living room and not well in the bedroom. The dishes all smelled when you pulled them from the cubbard. Maybe residue from water. No biggie, just rinse before using, especially glasses. Check out time most places is noon. Some places at 11am, but here its at 10am! Whoa! Now lets get to the price. For 450 bucks a night This place should be incredible with wonderful beds, a first class kitchen and more, including a reasonable check out time! Now the wonderful part! Nicole in the office was the bomb! Helpful as can be with anything you needed and service with a smile! This gal is a keeper! Overall, we had a great time. I felt compelled to write this because when you pay as much as we did you expect to get what you paid for. at a 100 less a night this would have been great! It still was, just over the top, in your pocket pricey.
