We had a fantastic stay at The Turtles Nest! My wife and I took a quick weekend trip to Gulf Shores and we couldn't have been happier with the location, just a half mile from The Hangout and all the other nearby restaurants and shops, and a short drive to The Wharf in Orange Beach. The place was clean, comfortable and so close to the beach! The owner, Don, was also very accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back and would hope to stay in the same place!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and five stars! The fantastic location is one of the biggest reasons we love this property ourselves. Being just steps from the beach while also having restaurants, shopping, and so much of Gulf Shores within an easy walk makes it such a special spot. We’re also so glad you mentioned how clean you found the condo. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities, and we want every guest to walk in and immediately feel comfortable, relaxed, and ready to enjoy their vacation. As hosts, we want our guests to know we’re always just a message away—whether you have a question, need a recommendation, or want a local suggestion. At the same time, we believe your vacation should be your vacation, so if you don’t need us, we’re happy to give you the space and privacy to simply relax and enjoy your stay! Thank you again for choosing The Turtle Nest. 🐢🏖️ We’d love to welcome you back for another Gulf Shores getaway!

Don and Angela were the absolute best hosts, if we needed anything leading up to our trip or while we were in beautiful Gulf Shores one of them were always available and they provided the most amazing recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc. They were so accommodating. The space is a coastal oasis, very clean, literally everything you would need, they have. The location is incredible, right across the street from the beach. The beach was very easy to access, and not crowded whatsoever. We could walk to several restaurants and bars from the VRBO. The longest walk we had to a restaurant was 15 minutes which was more than doable for our group. The market across the street was super helpful for us as well. We could pick up things that were not available from other stores. We will definitely stay here again.
