Tortuga Paradise

Beautiful 2nd floor condo. Very spacious, comfortable and had everything you needed. Well stocked kitchen with nice pots pans. Location was on the quiet end of Siesta Key which made for easy access with a parking garage. Turtle Beach was great for shelling. Would love to stay there again in the future.

Thank you for the review. We are glad that you like our home. January through April is the high season for renters, most tenants at Tortuga are repeated renters year after year. Windows and doors will be replaced before summer 2020 for Tortuga. A major expenditure for us, but a great improvement for Tortuga homes. Looking forward to hearing from you again Diane.

Amazing Condo with Views of the Gulf and Sunset!

Since retiring, we have been to several VRBOs in Florida but this was one was by far the best one yet. It is spacious and comfortably furnished. The beds are comfortable, there were plenty of towels for home and beach. We eat at home for most meals and the kitchen is very well appointed. Although there is a beautiful formal dining room, we ate all of our meals at the lovely dining area in the lani so we could enjoy the view of the Gulf. We would highly recommend this wonderful condo and would very much like to return!

January month stay

There is a lot to like about this property. It is very spacious and has everything you need including beach chairs and bicycles. Not sure what they were thinking in positioning the pool. It is half under the building. This wouldn't be a problem but it seems the last two buildings shadow the outside portion. Unfortunate but necessary maintenance was very noisy throughout visit, taking place outside 8 am monday through Friday. On a positive note the condo is near the end of the quiet partion of Diesta Key. Lovely walk every day! Free trolley to village was perfect! Lots of stores, pubs, etc..

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the construction. The association requires all owners to replace windows and doors to keep Tortuga updated. It is a major undertaking.

It's a great little hideaway getaway

The place is very spacious & has everything you could need or want. We enjoyed our stay we were able to go fishing, play tennis & enjoy the beach all at one place. It was a very nice vacation unfortunately it was interrupted with red tide for 3 of the 4 weeks we reserved.

The recent red tide is unfortunate. Hopefully it will go away soon.

About the host

Hosted by Howard Jia

Host profile image
We have been travelling to Florida many times since our kids were little in the 1990's. We have stayed in Naples, Panama City Beach, Miami and Orlando, some of the greatest places on earth. But when we were looking for a permanent home, we decided on Sarasota, and more specifically Siesta Key. (Our photo was taken in Spain, not Sarasota).

We both are working, so we come here during vacation and holidays. Our long term seasonal guests from Canada come to Tortuga for decades, and they treat our home like theirs.

Why they chose this property

We bought from a 97 year old lady who was the original owner since 1980. Her daughter decided that Mom was too old to live a independent life here.

Although she kept good care of the home, we thought the home needed an overhaul to match our expectation. We made our purchasing decision based on three factors: location, location, location.

Tortuga is on the south side of the key, away from most rental properties and shops. Traffic is low. It is 2.5 miles away from the shops, and 3 miles from the mainland.

Our home is in Building A (windows facing the gulf), which has the best view among 3 Tortuga buildings (their homes also have ocean view).

What makes this property unique

The office/club (directly under our home) has a huge kitchen and meeting area. In 2013, during the construction of our kitchen, we borrowed the club to host a dinner with friends. We used the kitchen, silverware, tables, and everything we need for the dinner for free. Tortuga residents do enjoy many privileges.

The indoor-outdoor pool and sauna is below the office, so a walk to the pool is 20 seconds (elevator or stairs). A walk to the beach is a couple of minutes. You don't even need slippers, just walk on your bare feet.

In early 2016, Sarasota City spent millions of dollars to pump sand from the ocean to rebuild the beach. As a result, our semi-private beach is 80 - 100 feet wide. We saw a huge turtle crawling over the beach to lay eggs on July 3. Soon, thousands of baby turtles will be trying to find their way to the sea. It's very exciting.
