The kitchen has granite countertops with two full ovens, a microwave, dishwasher and includes outdoor dishes for dining on the balcony. The kitchen is also wonderfully integrated into the dining space. There are two refrigerators in the kitchen so you have plenty of room to store drinks and food.

Home away from home

Our group consists of three families, 6 adults and 5 children, every one of us enjoyed our stay here. There are enough rooms for privacy, the kitchen is well equipped for the Italian cook to entertain the whole group (It is the only trip that we did not eat out). The beach is nice and quiet, Sunset can be enjoyed at the beach as well as from the spacious deck. Overall it is a wonderful vacation for us! Thank you, Bobbie!

Each bedroom had a TV which they were very excited about. They were able to go play in the backyard and the beach all day long!!! Beds were comfortable! Location was perfect! Only complaint is the loud traffic 24/7.

Heavenly Vacation Spot

The house was amazing! We thought it looked better than the photos. A sweet little path to the beach. Ocean was very calm and beautiful and great for just standing in and swimming and playing. We had planned on doing a lot of activities outside of the condo and beach, but ended up only going out for a couple of meals we were so happy in the house and beach! The views of the ocean from the first and second floor balconies was wonderful! Lots of amenities like beach towels and stuff. Kitchen had more amenities and gadgets than anywhere I've rented and there were two fridges and two ovens. Joanie was fantastic to deal with. Only complaint is sometimes the water didn't get very hot. A perfect place to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery in a beautiful house!

So disappointed

We were a party of 9 - ages 3-70 . One bath no hot water - 2 baths water so hot it was dangerous. Rusted screws and nails in the sand. Roaches in the drawers. Freeze drawer frozen shut. Unable to close the front door at night because knob was broken. Wet towels in the closet. Patio doors were very difficult to close. Beach toys and equipment rusted Yes I called maintenance they came twice. I tried contacting customer service for 10 days - no answer - no return calls - so disappointed -

Blissful stay at the beach

My family and I are all from Florida or have spent tons of time at Florida beaches, mostly on the Atlantic side or on the panhandle. But we all agreed this was possibly the most beautiful Florida beach we have ever visited! It was truly stunning. If beach quality is one of your priorities, this is the house for you. Being right on the water meant we spent so much more time there, including our nightly sunset swims. The water is calm, clear, and warm. The sand is so soft and full of gorgeous shells. The community around the house is quiet—we never once felt crowded on the sand. Our family of 10 adults fit perfectly in the house and we all slept great on the comfy beds. We cooked nearly all our meals and the kitchen was very well equipped and spacious for multiple chefs to be working at once. Only snag: When we first got to the house, the fridges were not cold and we were concerned they wouldn’t work, but overnight they cooled down to normal temps so it all worked out and no food was wasted. I had good communication with the property manager throughout that first night so I knew we would have help if we needed it. My advice to future vacationers: -Beware of overnight storms (par for the course during Florida summers) when you leave your belongings outside to dry! -Bring along innertubes and floats as the water is perfect for floating. -Stop at the Costco in Clearwater for your big grocery haul if possible to save yourself a bigger bill at Publix. We went to Publix a few times for little things and it was super convenient, but I’m glad we got most of our supplies at Costco. -Go on a sunset cruise at Hubbards marina for a night out! -Check out Ted Peters for the legendary smoked fish dishes, especially the smoked mullet dip. -Visit Ybor city in Tampa and eat at the Columbia for a nice meal!

Turtleback beach house lacks!

To begin, we are multiple times VRBO stayers and have been extremely happy with many, many times. That being said, this was a very unpleasant, poor experience for our family. When we arrived, the padlock did not work and I’m glad it didn’t because I’m not sure I had anyone in the party to climb over the couch in front of the door to let everyone in. When the property manager came over she let us into the most unclean facilities I have stayed in. The stay could not get started until WE cleaned after we had to go buy the cleaning supplies because the house had nothing that resembled any cleaning supplies except for the bottle of multi-purpose Windex. We had to clean mold off of the vents or at least the ones we could reach. The counters and the kitchen table had to be cleaned, floors mopped, worn carpets had to be vacuumed and bathrooms cleaned thoroughly. Then we all got to take a cold to maybe a lukewarm shower, if you used your imagination. The property manager did address the hot water heater issue on Sunday. We had to wash many of the bedsheets which resulted in people getting to go to sleep at 1:30 in the morning. We had to bleach the washer. Dishwasher had to go through two extensive cycles in order for us to end up having to clean many dishes by hand each time we used it. The worms were terrible in the house. Yes, I have been in Florida and yes, I have not had that problem. Falling ceiling drywall became a morning ritual. The WiFi was nonexistent. You need to make sure you pay your marketing firm extra for the filter they have on that camera to make the house look/appear as it does because pictures and reality are different in this case. Am I being unreasonable? Absolutely not! Am I being picky? Absolutely! Do I have high expectations? Absolutely! When a family pays what we paid for this house this week for the only week of the year we get to go on vacation, I expect to receive an inviting, clean and homey place to live for a week and in this case we did not receive that!! Turtleback beach house looked like it got hit by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The Turtleback Beach house was perfect for our family of 7! The large family room, kitchen, dining area was very nice. Having 2 refrigerators was also a bonus for our family. The pool table was enjoyable as well as the hot tub. We enjoyed the view of the gulf & the beach area was very private it is a deep beach, so be prepared for a walk to the ocean. There are many local restaurants that are close by & have a variety of seafood to order from. 10/10 for this beach house!! We will definitely be back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is located right on the beach and the area is not super crowded. The house is very nice and roomy. We had a great stay there and would book it again if we wanted to visit the area. My only complaint would be that the hot water heater and both refrigerators are on the same breaker and it trips every time they are all running at the same time so you have to keep checking to make sure the refrigerators are still on.

Would Love to grow older Here!

I wish we were not getting older, so we could visit this beach house every year!!!! It is superb! The house is wonderful: clean, well supplied, spacious, great communal areas, play areas, quiet time areas. A great walking or swimming beach. Kitchen and dining table great for the whole family. Such wonderful views and the sound of the surf just soothed my soul lying on a chaise lounge on the upper balcony.!! Areas of sun and shade. Some great birds to entertain as well, the parrots! Terrific location on the beach and to groceries and bridge access. It is a great place to watch beach life rain or shine. We will all remember our times there! Thanks to All who enabled our visit!!!!

We found the house to be great for a large family, clean and comfortable with lots of places to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped. The decks have amazing views of the beach and sunsets. The house as advertised is right on the beach. Because of this, I was very disappointed that there were no beach chairs or umbrellas especially for out of state renters (Tommy Bahama backpack chairs would have been great). I would definitely recommend this house.

Thanksgiving on Treasure Island

Great property for a Thanksgiving celebration with 8 adults and 4 children. Access to the beach was excellent. Accommodations were great. Kitchen was spacious and well stocked. Plenty of room at the dining room and in the living room. Bedrooms/bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. Driveway is short and right off busy road way -- so take care when exiting.
