This property is a tri-plex with it'sown beach access. The other 2 units were empty for the duration of the stay. We were very happy with the i it! It really was an overlooked gem. We had turtles galore! The kitchen has been upgraded and was lovely. We are already planning on staying there again!

A little slice of heaven, and an introvert’s dream! Our stay could not have been better. I slept like a log every night and spent days walking on the beach. The place is so cute and secluded but groceries and restaurants are fairly close by 1000% recommend

Perfect vacation

Our stay at the turtle run property was excellent. We had no problems there and the location is perfect. It feels secluded but is very close to town. The place is very clean and just as described. We loved it.

Our place, Turtle Run, had “old Florida” feel.It was well kept and had direct access to the beach. The owners were just a phone call away when we had questions.

Peace & Quiet

This was a great place for us: a little remote, and very quiet. The vacationers in the neighboring units were appropriately "neighborly", and Joe & Marlene (the owners) were superb hosts. We're already planning our return.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

We are a working couple from Orlando and needed some time alone together at the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of daily routines. This was the perfect escape for us. We were able to work remotely while enjoying each other and the ocean.

Turtle Run

Beautiful private beach which doesn't get crowded in a sea turtle nesting area. During the nights of my families stay dozens of sea turtles arrived to lay eggs. Swimming, collecting sea shells, spotting dolphins and seabirds made for a perfect family vacation at the beach.

Relaxing getaway!

We loved the location of place! We had the beach to ourselves! It was easy to get to shopping areas, grocery stores etc. The area is quaint and quiet for a Thanksgiving getaway. The hosts were easy to work with and the process was easy. We are likely to try to book this again next Thanksgiving if possible. Thank you!

Paradise

We had an absolutely marvelous time. The rooms were spotless and had everything we could ever need. The beach was fantastic with very few people on it. It was like we had our own private beach. We saw turtles, dolphins, birds, and even a manatee! We will definitely plan to come back to Turtle Run.

Everything good.

Our first stay at Turtle Run, but not our first visit to Melbourne Beach. We love this area already. The accommodation was pretty much perfect. We had everything we needed, plenty of space, nice kitchen, porch and patio. Right on the beach, quiet. There are nice restaurants around, but cooked at home a lot, including the outdoor grill. Will definitely will return. Thank you Joe and Marlene.

Just does not get better

It was exactly as presented in the listing. A little slice of paradise on the beach. Everything was exactly as it should be and any problems were corrected immediately. Our hosts were eager to satisfy our needs. We were excited to be able to see 2 launches from our backyard. It was almost like having a private beach because we saw few people when we walked on the beach.

Good location

We had a mostly enjoyable stay in the apartment that was even better than the photos show. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed and there were extra towels and beach supplies. The location was great. Our primary issue happened at the end when we realized on the last day there were cameras pointed at the yard so guests were in frame any time grilling, eating outside or relaxing. At the time this was not disclosed on the ad, and it seems the owner has now included specifics which is a good step. (We have stayed at properties with cameras, but they were always disclosed. We called VRBO that evening to confirm the policy). We had been looking forward to future stays at this location as the apartment is really perfect. But the camera location is just a turnoff. Perhaps one pointed from the doors toward the beach would suit the security requirements while still giving guests some modicum of privacy while sitting by the picnic tables. However, with the new disclosure, if you are comfortable with the camera locations, I would definitely recommend the apartment for a beach stay.

Thank you Michelle for the review it is greatly appreciated We always want to make the guest stay better if possible We are really saddened to hear that at the end of your vacation you were uncomfortable We had the lines of communication opened and offered for you to call if you had any issues I certainly would’ve turned them off if they made you feel uncomfortable during your stay as long as it was OK with the other guests now I understand that it was at the last day and there was no time to make that change and I’m very sorry But like to let you know all the footage is discontinued after one month if no security issues There are two cameras in the far end of each corner in the backyard and one facing the parking lot in the front yard Actually chose the cameras in the back on the far end of property so was the furthest away from the guest but able to see the sides of the property for security purposes The cameras are so far away I believe offers more privacy then coming off the building right by your door Although I certainly will take your thoughts of relocation of the cameras into consideration We hope to find the perfect spot for privacy and security Thanks again we do appreciate the comments Follow up I did change the cameras as you suggested does that seem to alter the security issues
