Great value for the money, could use a little update here and there.

On the beach, location in the middle of Longboat Key, many good features such as pool, beach access, laundry services, putting green, etc.

Pool is very small, condo needs to be updated, no dishwasher for sanitizing purposes

Beautiful beach sunsets

The rooms were spacious and very close to the beach. The staff was friendly and we had privacy.

The shower drain didn't work, there wasn't a way to use the oven and the carport flooded to the door every time it rained.

Won't stay there again.

Have stayed at Longboat Key many times, and at Turtle Crawl Inn several times. The location is excellent and it's right on the beach. Older facility (1950-1960's timeframe) but typically maintained in good condition. Weather was nice (low 90's during day & didn't rain except at night). Pool was small (9 people max) but it was nice. We live in Tampa area & like to get away for a couple of short beach stays each year. Longboat Key is VERY quiet and has several excellent restaurants. Ate at one of our favorites in Florida, the Dry Dock Grill (exceptional seafood) and also at the Lazy Lobster (also very good seafood). Blue Moon restaurant (next door to Lazy Lobster) has a very nice breakfast, as does Peach's (down in Holmes Beach area). St Armand's Circle is only a handful of miles away from Turtle Crawl Inn and is a nice place to do a little specialty shopping; the gelato at Settimi's is exceptional BTW.

Very disappointing mid-September stay at Turtle Crawl Inn. Beach at Longboat Key was always one of the nicest in Florida; right now it's gross. Major erosion & seaweed has piled up (smells terrible). Room was booked through Booking.com ($647 for 2 nights that included a $150 cleaning fee) which is a reasonable fee, except that the room was probably the worst one there (2nd floor end unit in 2-story building right next to the highway, complete with all the highway noise); rear balcony overlooked an alleyway and the complex's tool shed. Rest of the complex was nearly empty during our mid-week stay. Turtle Crawl Inn has signs posted that they're undergoing major renovation, but couldn't see any evidence of that. Will concur with them though; it definitely needs renovation.

The condo we stayed in room 504 was so nice and spacious we were able to cook full meals with the kitchen it was equipped with. Very clean very comfortable!! The view of the water was amazing! I'll be coming back to the same spot at least once a year. Love the pool area too!!

There's nothing I didn't like about our stay here. Everything was amazing! I cannot wait to come back to this place!

Overpriced for crappy location on the property.

Ample parking, beach decor.

Way overpriced, cleaning fee not refunded, coffee machine pot overflowed because wrong pot, "garden" room meant dumpster on one side, overflowing ashtray on the other, and we were right on the main road.

Overall - good. Happy with our stay. Would return if the beds are replaced in the family suite 61/62

Our family liked the pool and private beach. Stayed in "family suite", which is the combination of 2 units. Did not feel cramped like in a hotel, and had 2 bathrooms with showers. Kitchen allowed us to stock up from Publix just a few minutes drive away for breakfast and lunch meals, while letting us explore dinner dining options up and down Longboat Key. Tip: Keep track of office hours, so you can swap towels and get anything else needed daily. As mentioned in other posts, street noise was a concern before visiting - no issue when we visited.

All the beds should be replaced. This suite has no ocean view and the laundry room that services the whole complex was operating daily from the view we had. Perhaps add some more trees/plants/landscaping to allow for more privacy.

Needs new furniture.

The location was very nice. The Amenities were all there. Pool, Private beach. Beach chairs available. And beach umbrellas. Available. Coin laundry parking was convenient enough.

Unit 502:The Kitchen and bath was updated. And very cozi. The Bedrooms were outdated- and the beds were awful. They were completley worn out. Spring mattresses- that was sagging in the middle. My husband slept in the dip- and i laid on the sloap. Needless to say we didnt get good sleep. And bedroom & living room furniture was dated. Couch was very worn and couch bed was awful. Elevator was extremely slow. No Ice machine or ice maker in room.

Very nice, clean, and very kid friendly area. Nice beach, not crowded at all.

Location of pool was to the side behind private residence. Feel it should be behind building and be a little bigger.

Needs a little upkeep but wonderful still.

This is a very short distance to a not so crowded beach. Plenty of toys for the kids to build castles and lounge chairs provided. Pool was perfect after the ocean if you washed off.

We loved this place but it is 1950's. I don't mind that, I actually prefer it! Just not when the grout lining the rooms is light and the walked on areas is pitch black. That could use a good scrub and a bleach pen. There also had been used food on the dishes and greasy fingerprints on the cabinets and fridge. We had the 61 and 62 condo combo rooms.
