Cottages and Suites
Turtle Beach Resort offers 10 clapboard cottages, each with a private porch and hot tub. The cottages, dating from the 1940s, include fully enclosed patios with hammocks. Accommodations range from studios to two-bedroom units, equipped with kitchens, flat-screen TVs, and sea views. Some cottages face Little Sarasota Bay.
Pet-Friendly Stays
The resort welcomes pets in its bay-side cottages, with a limit of two dogs per unit. Guests can explore nearby Brohard Paw Park, a pet-friendly beach 20 minutes away. Complimentary kayaks and canoes allow for water adventures with pets. A $100 cleaning fee applies for unregistered pets.
Resort Amenities
Guests have access to a heated waterfront pool, private docks, and BBQ areas. The resort provides free kayaks, canoes, bicycles, and fishing gear. A nightly $18 resort fee covers Wi-Fi, beach chairs, umbrellas, and 10-pound bags of ice. No outside visitors are allowed without prior approval.
Nearby Attractions
The resort is a 3-minute walk from Turtle Beach, known for its 99% quartz sand. Nearby landmarks include Jim Neville Marine Preserve (0.5 km) and Legacy Trail (4 km). Guests can paddle to Bird Keys or dine at seafood restaurants within walking distance.
Guest Policies
Check-in requires payment of the remaining balance. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas. Two-bedroom units accommodate up to 4 guests; studios fit 2. Unauthorized additional guests incur a $200 nightly charge. The property enforces quiet hours for pet behavior.
“There's a secluded, historic charm to this family-owned resort near Siesta Key, but some of the buildings could benefit from a refresh; however, the cottages themselves are individually styled with full kitchens, and private patios add a layer of seclusion. Complimentary equipment encourages guests to get out on the water or explore nearby Turtle Beach, and I think that those seeking adventure will feel right at home here.”
