50th Birthday Girls Trip!

We had an absolute blast at Surfin’ Turtle! The floor plan was perfect for our group. The kitchen had everything we needed (wine cooler!!) and lots of cabinets for storage. Plenty of parking! Our favorite was the huge patio! It was perfect for morning coffee and mimosas!

Secluded Dunes, Cape San Blas

We really enjoyed the home’s setting! The view of the Gulf from the the home is spectacular! The home faces due west and the sunsets were amazing! The beach is wide, the sand soft and clean, and a short walk to the north soon takes you to State Park Property and few users. The home was clean and comfortably furnished, the kitchen had everything we needed in the way of equipment. I would definitely stay here again.

Surfin Turtle is a beautiful home and most comfortable. It was very clean and welcoming. I have a disabled daughter so the one level living was very accommodating. The owners were very nice and understanding and very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be booking Surfin Turtle again !!

Perfect location!

This has a perfect location and the views are AMAZING! I would give this a 10 on views if I could. You feel like your on the stern of a boat with the views from the living room. The house is only about 6 houses from the state park. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves!! The only cons… the AC could not keep up with the heat. We had record highs and the AC just couldn’t compete in the afternoons. We ended up having to close the hurricane shutters to help cool the house. Thus, losing the views. Also, there needs to be a walkway added to make it more accessible to the beach. It’s extremely steep and in the heat the sand was excruciatingly hot. We had to wear shoes to the beach. The outside does need minor repairs. One of the beds had sand in it upon arrival, but overall the house was clean. The master shower is tiny! However, we don’t go to the beach for the shower so not a deal breaker. I gave this a 5 mainly because of the views and the beach! They are spectacular!

Sweet Retreat for a Big Family

We love CSB, and stay every year that we can. As a family with several young children, we look for homes that are on the water and spacious. Surfin’ Turtle met every one of our needs! What spectacular views!!! We felt like we were sitting ON the water. Every day was spent on the beach or the screened in porch soaking up the beauty surrounding us. We also loved the book collection and games! The kitchen is well stocked and equipped with the best appliances for staying in and making your own meals. Thank you, Carla and Surfin Turtle for giving our family the rest we needed!!

We enjoyed our stay! Lori is helping Carla on the rental end and she does a fantastic job! She responds quickly (which a lot of management companies don't do that) and is very accommodating. We had a few requests and she was able to make all of them happen! We thank you very much for allowing us to stay and it was very convenient for us too while we are finishing our home in Secluded Dunes....a MUST destination vacation:) Will be back, if needed!

Relaxing Getaway

From our first communication, during the booking process and throughout our stay, communication with Lisa was excellent. Her responses were extremely prompt and her manner was enthusiastic and warm. The photos and description of the house are all accurate.. This was our 4th visit to the cape, but the first time in winter. Being from the North, we were looking for a place to relax and enjoy some warmer temperatures. Even though Florida was experiencing a few days of record cold during our stay, it didn’t bother us a bit. The house was snug and warm and we enjoyed cooking in most days. The kitchen was well equipped with all new appliances and everything was in perfect working order. We ate at Pepper’s Mexican Grill in Port Saint Joe one evening and enjoyed a bucket of Shrimp Boil from Skully’s Low Country Boil just down the road on the cape - delicious! In our opinion, the very best feature of the house is it’s location. Being just a few houses from the State Park provides the quiet and solitude we appreciate. It’s almost like having your own private beach. So when it was too cold to be outside, we enjoyed the unobstructed gulf views from all living spaces and our master bedroom. When the temperatures were warm enough my husband enjoyed fishing while I enjoyed long walks on the beach hunting for shells. We walked 5 miles toward the end of the cape and loved the wild views with dunes on one side and the gulf on the other. We saw dauphins on a few occasions and enjoyed watching the birds dive for fish. The house has high ceilings and is very open and would accommodate a large family easily. My husband and I were alone except for 3 nights when my cousin and her husband joined us. It sounds cliche, but it’s true……the only negative was that we didn’t book for longer. We highly recommend a stay at the Surfin Turtle!
