About this property

Welcome to our historic home on beautiful South Padre Island, 5805 Gulf Blvd! The Turtle House was formerly owned by Ila Fox Loetscher "The Turtle Lady of South Padre Island", founder of the famous tourist attraction, Sea Turtle Inc. Ila saw a need for protecting Sea Turtles and did so from what was once her home, right here at 5805 Gulf Blvd. We are honored to share our beach home with you and your guests. Come relax and make precious memories on a fun-filled vacation just steps to the beautiful warm beaches of South Padre Island.

This beach home is located just across the street from the beach entry, less than a 1-minute walk! It boasts an open floor plan to enjoy with your guests for indoor socialization. Enjoy a glow-in-the-dark game room with classic arcade games, darts, a pool table, and foosball. The oversized backyard offers a built-in firepit great for late-night smores and a built-in outdoor grill.
