While our family truly enjoyed the Island and the house, it could have had a better cleaning done before we arrived. The air return vent in the main living room was totally disgusting and you could tell had not been cleaned or the filter changed in over a long time. The couches were stained and some of the kitchen utensils were dirty. It is a beautiful house and enjoyable but the owners really need to check that the cleaning people are doing their jobs! Also, might want a new hot water heater as the hot water does not last long!

The property was not as clean as I would have liked and was not as manicured and taken care of as I thought it should have been for this price range. The porches were not cleaned at all between guests, there was trash on the tables and chocolate on the chairs outside.

My family enjoyed this house for the second time, with the first being last year. Our family loves vacationing at Turtle's Cove due to its size, the extra "cottage" and location. Watching the sunset from the balconies are second to none, Our grandkids can enjoy playing on the second floor, or third, with all the space that this house has. No reason for them to be bored! A quick drive or ten minute walk to the beach is a plus. Working with Andrew, our host, has been easy and helpful. Definitely, Turtle's Cove is a place to stay!

Good place to stay that matched our budget. Had a small issue that the property manager took care of within a reasonable time frame. The house is in a good quiet location with plenty of space. The house could use a little tlc but nothing that would turn me away from booking.

Our stay was incredible and the home met every expectation. 3 floors with ample space allowed for gatherings and alone time. The home was clean and the location was great. The elevator was very handy. We had a few minor service issues that were resolved satisfactorily. Sunsets were simply stunning. Thank you!

This home was very well built and has beautiful touches throughout. It is very large, clean and well furnished, with plenty of parking. Every single room of this home has direct access to a deck! It was a bit too cool to use the pool, but it was clean. We would absolutely stay here again!

I reserved this beautiful home in hopes of having a great weekend. The property must not have been properly inspected nor cleaned. There is no way the cleaners did not notice the blood stain on the second floor common area chair arm.(left side) There was a blood stain on the blue and white striped bed comforter in the second room bed of the second floor. The second floor bathroom that is shared between two of the guest rooms, between the bunk bed room and the room with the blue and whit comforter, was not cleaned properly. You can see mold on the tiles. The fabric shower curtain was yellow stained with water and dirt and a visible blood stain on it, as well. This poses an infection control issue. Upon checking in, two metal broken door stops at the top of two of the guest room doors. The pool was filthy so we were unable to swim in it. Why even advertise it if you’re not going to clean it. That’s the main reason we booked this property.. The patio furniture chairs were very nasty, need a pressure wash and weren’t set up properly on the top or the second level patio. The check in was super easy. We had to clean the property before getting somewhat comfortable. Which took time and extra money. The top level couches were both filthy. We had to cover them with sheets to sit on them. I had videos and pictures to prove all of these claims. I will not book this property again. I should be refunded my cleaning fee at the very least.

Other than the elevator and garbage disposal not working, the house was nice. It was big enough for our group of 16. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Weather was a little too chilly to enjoy the pool as it’s not heated, but some of the kids braved it for a few minutes. Was even too cold for them. All in all, the house was comfortable and not too far from town and the beach. We enjoyed ourselves.

Visited St George Island for the first time. Had a wonderful time! Everyone we met was friendly and we adored the area. Enjoyed the casual atomsphere at all the restaurants. Home on the bayside was wonderful! The view was gorgeous! Layout of the house was perfect for when our family visited us for a week. Porches and porch with firepit made for relaxing evenings. Elevator was wonderderful because my husband had knee replacement shortly before our trip. Overall everything was great-home, island and restaurants.

We rented Turtle's Cove for our family's Christmas at the beach. The house is lovely with a ton of space for everyone. The elevator came in handy for unloading all of our stuff. Total of ive good size bedrooms. Our daughter's family of four were very comfortable in the bonus detached bedroom. The outdoor space is awesome too! Several porches ( one screened), an outdoor shower, very nice pool/patio (although we did not use it since it was pretty cold the week we were there). We spent a lot of time by the fire pit. Our dogs loved the fenced in area. Sunsets on the bay were gorgeous! The Gulf is not far but we did rent a golf cart to make it easier to transport little ones and beach gear. We cooked every day in the well equipped kitchen. The house was great for our large family.

Very nice property and location but it was very dirty at check-in. The beds were made but it appeared as if the floors and counters had been skipped. There was a film on top of all surfaces. There were also several roaches. No checkout instructions were posted or received via email. When I emailed asking for checkout instructions, I did not receive a response.

My family and I stayed here on vacation and it was everything that was advertised. The owner was very cordial and helpful with any questions that we had and even came to the house to bring a couple of things that we needed. Andrew is a top right owner and I would highly recommend this property.

The house location was superb with outstanding views of the sunset and bay. Easy access to beach areas. The house was located in a relaxing and quiet area. Our family loved the house and all the balconies. Screened in balcony on the third floor was perfect for family meals! Screened in pool was great for after beach time. Elevator was great as living areas were on the second and third floor. Cannot think of anything we did not like and will look forward to staying here in the future.

The location and house were very nice. We had no internet until Tuesday which made it difficult for any of us to watch tv or work. The gas grill on the deck was out of gas. One of the kids lights fell out of the ceiling when they were taking a shower and it shattered glass everywhere.

Great place! Beautiful sunsets, from the decks! Short walk to the beach! Lots of amenities (charcoal grill, gas grill, refrigerator downstairs on the bottom floor, where the grills are, and even a supply of wood and charcoal! We didn’t use it, but nice that it was there! Big rooms, many bathrooms, wonderful screened in pool! Clean, neat, and support staff were very polite, and nice! I recommend Turtle Cove, for anyone looking to relax! Paddle boards, kayaks… all provided! Elevator was very reliable, once we figured out how to work it. We are planning on renting it again!

The location of home is great, beautiful views of the bay, close to beach access and lots of space for big families. The listing says King beds, although the beds were comfortable that is not accurate queens/double size only. House could use some TLC (deep cleaning etc) Until things are updated renters should bring their own blankets, pot, pans, etc. Had to purchase grill due to the dysfunctional one on site. If bringing pets, back yard is fenced in but not kept up. Screened in pool is great but be warned the screen door is broken, once it is open it does not close automatically. Covered parking is a plus. Also house has an elevator which was helpful for bringing in and taking out luggage and supples. Sunsets are beautiful on the porch and having some screened in also was nice. We contacted management on a few safety issues and let them know the cleanliness of the property so hopefully they will contact owners and make sure the house is a little more comfortable for future guest. Also emails to the management went unanswered, it was explained to us that using the VRBO app was the best way to contact them. Something that should have been explained in the check in-check out instructions. But unfortunately they didn’t have any of those either. I would recommend this home for large families. It was very comfortable and you could spread out and not feel so cramped. Overall our stay was fun and we enjoyed it.

The property was very nice, there was plenty of room for our family including 7 adults and 3 children. The location was very convenient to the Bay and the Beach. Everyone on the island was friendly, we had a nice relaxing vacation. I would suggest T.V.s in the bedrooms and a Check Out instructions. Thanks for having us!

The place is great, clean and pretty well maintained. The only problem we had was a water leak under the kitchen sink. It leaked through to the second floor and made all the smoke detectors go off. We had a hard time getting in touch with the property manager but when we did he was very friendly. We were able to stop the leak and get the smoke detectors to stop ourselves. No one ever came to fix it during our stay.

Our family had a wonderful time at this home on St. George Island. The house was clean and offered ample space and amenities. The bay view was perfect for evening sunsets from the porches. We accessed the beach by a short golf cart ride daily and it was great to have the covered pool to relax with a different vibe in the heat of the midday sun. The one thing to note was that none of the beds were actually king size - only queen, however the mattresses were excellent quality and offered a wonderful night's sleep. All-in-all, would highly recommend and would book this vacation home again.

Turtle Coves was as described. A beautiful home for all to enjoy. Upon arriving everyone talked about how clean everything was. We loved the view of the bay and would have loved being able to see the ocean. Golf carts came in handy to the beach however the walk was not bad. The pool was an added treat for us to enjoy. Overall the best home for cleanliness and space in our travels.
