    I cannot say enough great things about the Inn at Turtle Beach Resort. The rooms are luxurious and clean (I actually dropped some medication on the floor and crawled under the sink to get it - and the floor was clean!). The beds are incredible comfy (and I'm VERY picky - terrible insomniac). The grounds are beautiful. Dave and Gail are kind and beyond helpful - great suggestions for excursions, restaurants etc. We used the grill (every night), the fishing gear, the bikes, The canoes and the kayaks and everything was in great shape and oh yeah - FREE - This was an amazing long weekend and we will be back!!!

    I called to book one night at the last moment before the inkeepers where to sign off for the eveing and Gail was more then accommodating. Not only did she find us a lovely studio for the night but she upgraded us for free to a Bay view. The room was magnificent and comfortable not to mention the View from our bungalow was so very romantic and relaxing. Every bungalow also has a private Jacuzzi which turned out great due to the rain we experienced all day. I plan on returning again without a doubt!! I would recommend this resort to anyone visiting the Siesta Key/Sarasota Area!! Top Notch!!
