Knowing how much work they had to do to get it rehabbed after last year’s hurricanes makes you appreciate it even more. The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. You are right on the beach with a spectacular view of the sunset. Communication with the hosts is a breeze and they are quick to respond to any questions you have. ##### Debbie E.

Incredible view from the deck where we spent a lot of time reading and enjoying the view of the water. Very peaceful and quiet area. Cottage has been remodeled and comes with everything to make your stay enjoyable. Stores, restaurants and shopping are near by. Donna, the owner lives near by and is willing to help if need be.

The sunsets were amazing and on many days during our stay the Gulf was as smooth as glass. We were delighted to see dolphins, several within 7 feet of the beach. When I was swimming, one day, one swam within 9 feet of me. Shark teeth are in abundance on the beach directly in front of the cottage. The beach was never very busy. We would definitely recommend this location. FYI I highly recommend Farlow’s on the water. Great food, beautiful patio, and great service. ##### Mary D.

We booked this place after reading other guest reviews about how private the beach is. After our own stay we can definitely confirm this! My husband and I were set up on the beach all week and had the whole beach to ourselves. We also found TONS of sharks teeth so if you enjoy shark tooth hunting definitely book turtles and toes! We also saw the dolphins, a manatee in the ocean, and Rowdy the turtle! Overall, the house was perfect for the two of us, was very clean, and had everything we needed for the week! Would definitely recommend turtles and toes!! ##### sam Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura H.

We had breakfast on the porch every morning and drinks in the evenings as we watched the sun go down. Moochie came to visit a couple of times. We also saw him on the beach hanging out with the fishermen. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. There was a light breeze making it just right to sit on the beach and soak in the sun. We also took advantage of the provided information and supplies and tried our hand at shark tooth hunting. We found literally hundreds of them to take back to the grandkids. Donna was friendly and kept us well informed! Check in was easy. We had an amazing time and hope to get a chance to go back soon! ##### Laura H.

Dec 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquil Pre-Christmas Escape What an amazing cottage! It is exactly as described. Outside pictures depict an older small cottage but the inside has been updated and is very cozy. There are other houses and cottages around it but everything makes it feel as if you have the beach completely to yourself. There aren't any high rises or public beach accesses so it's definitely not crowded and loud. We were there the week leading up to Christmas so I'm not sure if that was a factor. Upon stepping out on the porch, you feel you are on the beach...you couldn't be any closer. The sunsets are spectacular and you don't have to leave the premises! This is advertised as sleeping 4 but be aware that is 2 queens in the 1 bedroom so I would recommend this as a couple get away or a family with 2 small children or even a solo traveler wanting some tranquil time. It was the perfect location for us! ##### Vickie M. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles B. Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### If we could give this more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! While you would think, driving in, that you won't have privacy, you would be wrong. This is the most amazing piece of paradise we have ever stayed at. Before we even got to the front door, we were entranced by the view! The cottage is so cozy and welcoming and absolutely PERFECT! Almost anything you would need for a perfect beach trip is in this place somewhere. For our first Gulf of Mexico vacation-- we couldn't ask for a more perfect place. Each morning, we walked the short way to the beach and each morning there were more and more markers for turtle nests! We saw birds, a stingray, and A MANATEE SWAM UP TO US! (Admittedly we freaked out at first, but a manatee!!!) We watched dolphins at sundown one evening, and so many lizards! I'll admit, my wife cried when it was time to go. I cannot recommend Turtle and Toes enough, and I certainly can't wait to go back! ##### Charles B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### doug a. May 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Get Away My wife didn't want me to write such a great review because she wants to keep this place to ourselves. But it couldn't have been much better. Donna helped answer a lot of questions before we even arrived so we could plan accordingly. She also answered questions right away if anything came up during the week. But the best thing about the whole trip was the location. We would sit on the deck and only see beach and gulf in front of us. We watched boats, dolphins, pelicans and other people stroll by. We had our little portion of the beach to ourselves and decided to stay put the whole week. Days consisted of putting up the beach umbrella in the morning. Eating our meals on the deck. Reading and shell hunting in the afternoon (it was delightful) and watching the sunset each evening. It was perfect for us. ##### doug a. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff L. Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our stay at this little cottage on the beach. Location could not have been better. Was nice to have all the beach supplies available, even sunscreen, even though we brought our own. Found lots of sharks teeth too!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef2487fb-3942-4e35-838e-c4b159d941a6-1755906733846.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4bc2ce4a-d662-437d-85a0-c9fb99187c74-1755906735737.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e71874fb-756d-44e9-bd33-15b243a5a2ab-1755906734887.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cd0ca95-2ed3-4bf9-ab9f-65b8c09f628e-1755906734763.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jeff L.
