The beds were extremely comfortable. The property was accommodating for our family. The master bedroom does face HWY 98, road noise was somewhat bothersome, used loud sound machine to drown out noise. Diane was extremely prompt in her response and helpful. The beach was beautiful and clean!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. Check in was very easy and even with some issues we had(no fault of the property or owners, weather related) everything was solved quickly which we appreciated! Parking is pretty tight so I’d suggest not trying to park more than 2 mid size cars. We had a mid sized SUV and a car and it fit.
As for the neighbor, and this was made clear by the property manager and the reviews, they really take things to the extreme with the dog whistle alarm we could hear while not even stepping on their property?? It was honestly ridiculous, but we abided by the advice we received and did not even try to walk the dogs anywhere near his house.
Overall the property was great and was in a good location for what we needed. Beach access is right across the street which is super convenient, and Rosemary beach is only about a .9 mile walk.
Thanks again for having us!

This was not what we had in mind when we booked. The location was way outside of the Seacrest area. You have to cross a four lane major road with no light or cross walk to get to the beach access road. Or you can walk 1/2 mile to the next red light and then back 1/2 mile to get to the beach access road. If you have a family this is far from ideal. There is no beach access to seacrest. There is no community pool, No amenities. No beach towels. There is no backyard or anyplace to go outside the house. The back porch is an old wooden deck that is filthy and backs up to the main road with all the cars flying by. The road was very very busy. Lots of motorcycles, trucks, loud mufflers all the time. The neighbors had an alarm on their property line and if you get within 10’ it sets off a high pitch noise. The outside of the house is dark and feels unsafe. There are zero lights outside on the house and there are no street lights.
Owner was responsive and offered $50 back because we had sand in one of the bunk beds. Nice people but would never stay here again.

The property was clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and everything was as pictured. The location was perfect—a six to seven minute walk to the beach. We were worried about crossing the busy highway, but it’s divided and has clearly marked sidewalks which made it easy. Walking distance to restaurants and shops as well. Highly recommend it!

Nice house
The house is very clean and was just as described. The noise from 98 really bothered me- but I’m a light sleeper. No one else in my family heard it. The neighborhood was nice. It was a great house for a quick visit to 30A.

Great cozy Beach Cottage!
The house is very nice and laid-out well.
Even though it is near Hwy 98 (bringing this up bc it was mentionedin some reviews), there is a pedestrian crosswalk to the beach and the noise is minimal and was white noise to me. The owners were quick to respond when we had a question. We had a nice experience and would come back.

The house served us well. Super clean, excellent beds, good location (as long as you don't want to be outside at the house itself). The owners were helpfully communicative so that we were glad to rent from them. I'd like to re-arrange the living room so that the TV is easier for all to watch (the Olympics were on). The rental was comfortable, easy, & relaxing.

The rental house was great. Diane made the whole process easy! With several light sleepers, the road noise hindered our sleep, even with the provided sound machines. The location was easy to get to the beach access!

House was perfect size with all the amenities for my family if 6. But the intangibles made this a great place: beach equipment available for renters including a wagon, chairs and beach mats. Also proximity to the beach - easy walk to beautiful beach not overcrowded from condos. Also location spared us from crazy traffic on 30A or PCB and is close to Pier Park and many great restaurants. I didn’t know all the intricacies of the location but this house can’t be beat and very fortunate we found it.

This is our first time staying at Inlet Beach. We normally stay close to Blue Mountain. We were absolutely happy with every aspect of our stay at the Winking Turtle! The walk to the beach across 98 was absolutely no big deal at all with our group, and is much shorter than what we're accustomed to. The highway noise was a non-issue. I noticed it a bit in the master bedroom, but I also love white noise when I sleep, so it was not unpleasant at all. Our host was extremely hospitable, and handled our special requests almost immediately! I can't recommend this property and this host enough.

The place was very clean and just good overall. Good working Ac ! If you are traveling with babies, keep in mind there are stairs . You might wanna bring a walker or high chair to keep baby in place while you eat,etc. This time I had the help of my family to hold babies . Also, a hanging key holder would help at the door for our cars. I left them on the table and nobody moved them. Yeah right lol . took me a while to find them . Over all good!
