圖爾托克魯爾飯店(Turtle Crawl Inn - Longboat Key)

Muy lindo lugar con vista al mar. Playa sobre el hotel, con reposteros y lo necesario para pasarla bien. Fuimos con dos chicos y la posibilidad de cocinar en el lugar nos permitió hacer el estilo de vida que queríamos ya que después de un tiempo comer afuera cansa.

We just returned from a week long stay. Check in/out was easy and the ladies at the desk are so kind! The villa was clean and well equipped with everything we needed and more! The resort itself is small which guaranteed us space on the beach and time in the pool. We used the bbq grills almost every night, and they were always clean! Guests were mostly families or older folks, and all were respectful of the resort’s rules and quiet time.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and in proper working order. A little dated but very well kept.

We rented joined condos 61 and 62 at Turtle Crawl Inn over Thanksgiving with another couple - it was two bedrooms shared by a common living space.   The condos at Turtle Crawl are owned individually but managed by the Turtle Crawl Inn Property Management company.  While we can't speak for the other condos, we can speak for 61 and 62  We should have known what the experience was going to be like when we got the keys to the condo (first picture) Absolutely THE worst rental experience ever.  I think "a picture is worth a thousand words"  so will share the pictures we took of this abomination which included rusted shower holder, a green tub from the 1940s with no mat that was frankly dangerously slippery to take a shower in, cracked tiles, stained table chair pads (all four) and stained couch, rusted trash barrels, side bed tables in room 62 with no lamps or clock - one lamp for the entire room - (we know why now, too much light would have revealed how awful it was), half a beach umbrella (front desk did give us two), old used air fresheners attempting to mask the constant musty odor (BTW, we went to Publix and bought refills and antiseptic spray), dirty painted surfaces, especially around door knobs. Could go on but will let the pictures do the talking. What was good? The refrigerator kept things cold and the TVs worked. As the week progressed management, I assume, decided to start holiday decorating, but abandoned the attempt; as they left an extension cord leading from a storage closet to the half-lit bushes, across our doorway; not to mention the abandoned grocery cart full of decorations at our front door. We did bring our concerns to the property manager on our first day there and asked if we could move to another condo or were willing to move to two individual condos and we would pay any difference in cost for the remainder of our stay.  They offered a 20% discount for their tower condos but not a refund for the place we already had paid for. They also told us the elevator was not in service there. The property rep said that since these are owner-owned, they would bring our concerns to the owner.  They offered a $207 credit on a 2,072 total bill for 5 nights.  Nothing else was offered.  In hindsight, I wish we had charge-backed the entire bill on our credit card.  These accommodations definitely influenced our stay in Longboat Key negatively. The beach is beautiful - no doubt about that - but it did NOT make up for the accommodations. 

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.

I normally don't write reviews, but I feel like I paid a lot of money for a vacation rental that did not meet my expectations. I've lived in Florida long enough to know the expected standards. I stayed in the Unit 81 villa. I first noticed issues in the kitchen. The refrigerator was extremely noisy. The stove was dirty, and the coil burners did not fit properly on the stove, so the pans were not flat when you cooked. The coffee cups and cereal bowl were chipped. The dish washer did not work propery, as it was not dissolving the soap pods. Also, the basket that held the utensils had holes in the bottom, resulting in the utensils falling to the bottom of the dishwasher. The air conditioner was extremely loud every time the motor started, making it difficult to sleep at night. There was a lot of dust under the beds, and I had to call maintenance to have them clean it. The outside porch area, which had tables and a sink was extremely fithy, and the windows were also dirty, like it all hadn't been cleaned for a long time. I asked to have it cleaned, but they only swept the floor, without cleaning the table or sink, so I just didn't utilize porch. For the bathroom, the toilet bowl handle did not function properly, and the master bedroom had a broken drawer handle. The lamp switches were difficult to reach because of unfitted lamp shades. Overall, the place could definitely use updating. Otherwise, the staff were nice, the beach was pretty, and the pool area was well kept, but I would not recommend and unfortunately will not be going 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

Great location, Beach front with easy access. Plenty of beach chairs, friendly staff, resort is a little dated, but we had no issues. Our unit # 83 was clean and had no issues. Beach area is beautiful and not overcrowded. Would stay again.

This place is very nice with a great location on the beach. Not fancy but great for us. Now the not so good. The bed was not very comfortable and squeaked like crazy! The A/C worked great in living room and not well in the bedroom. The dishes all smelled when you pulled them from the cubbard. Maybe residue from water. No biggie, just rinse before using, especially glasses. Check out time most places is noon. Some places at 11am, but here its at 10am! Whoa! Now lets get to the price. For 450 bucks a night This place should be incredible with wonderful beds, a first class kitchen and more, including a reasonable check out time! Now the wonderful part! Nicole in the office was the bomb! Helpful as can be with anything you needed and service with a smile! This gal is a keeper! Overall, we had a great time. I felt compelled to write this because when you pay as much as we did you expect to get what you paid for. at a 100 less a night this would have been great! It still was, just over the top, in your pocket pricey.
