We had an amazing stay at Turtle Crawl Inn! Clean, all the amenities we needed and views that cannot be described! Highly recommend for a relaxing get away! We will definitely be back.

It’s quaint and quiet. There are a few rules like keeping drapes closed in the evening that seem to be geared more toward the turtles’ comfort rather than the guests but overall it’s a nice place and I would return

We stayed in Unit 73, said sleeps 6, pulled out Queen size sleeper, no mattress only 2in. soiled foam. Unit outdated as far as furniture, but, we did not allow that to ruin our stay, we very much enjoyed the beach!! We will go back but will book through the Inn not Expedia!

Loved the atmosphere!
We appreciated the staff at Turtle Crawl Inn! They were friendly and very helpful with our questions even before we arrived. The suites were perfect for our family, and the kitchenettes well-stocked with dishes. We appreciated the outdoor gas grill, heated pool, laundry, and spigots to spray off sand. Our favorite part was the beach at Turtle Crawl Inn! Much more private than some of the nearby beaches. Beautiful sand, shells, and sunsets!

So so...
Room was adequate for our needs. It was a little outdated. One instance was the shower head at my chest level(I'm 6'2") the beds were small and older, with one of them actually having a slope down both sides.

Good location, bad room
First off, there was no lighting in the bedroom. The shower was barely tall enough for someone who is 5’5. There was no ice machine in the freezer and no way to make ice either. The coffee maker stopped working after the first day and there is not much room at all for food storage. One of the few good things was that it is right on the beach so good location. But other than that the room was not what was expected.

Unit 72
I love Longboat Key but I would never stay in this unit again. It was noisy due to traffic, the unit is outdated and had several maintenance issues. The pool had a max bathing load of nine people and was warmer than bathwater. Very unpleasant

Short family Vacation spring break.
We decided to book a last minute trip to Long Boat Key and stay at the Turtle Crawl Inn. We took our 2 teenage daughters to go and relax. The front desk staff was very friendly and emailed me to let me know that my room was ready early and they were all set for us. The room was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of towels and blankets. Was a just a few steps to the beach with plenty of chairs. Everyone was very friendly. Can’t wait to go back.
