Beach is just a short walk away and coming back to our very own private pool was the icing on the cake. The kids had an absolute blast. Amazing location as well, centrally located and just a quick golf cart ride to pretty much anywhere on the island. We had no issues whatsoever during our stay and Raye was a great host. The place is expertly decorated, very clean, and has a plethora of modern features. We will definitely be staying again! ##### Nathan W.

The proximity to the beach is amazing and the house comes with a great beach cart to easily carry all your gear. We stayed in the house with our kids ages 5, 3 and 8 months. There was plenty of space in the house and the pool was a great spot for the afternoons after the kids had enough at the beach. The house is walking distance to The Ugly Grouper restaurant, an ice cream shop and a few stores. Everything else is a short drive away. The house is incredibly clean!! The host responded quickly if we had any questions. We loved our stay and hope to keep going back! ##### Meghan G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen R. Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Holiday Wow! We spent a week at A Turtle’s Nest, our second visit to the island but our first time staying here. It’s a beautiful property, modern and stylish but also comfortable and relaxing, and we felt at home surprisingly quickly. It’s very much a luxury holiday home - my favourite kind! Everything is of high quality - the appliances, the fixtures and fittings, the crockery and cutlery, even the tea towels are plush! The bed is super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud. There’s an abundance of fluffy bath towels and pool towels, and a delightfully old-fashioned whistling stove-top kettle for tea drinkers like us. We enjoyed spotting the little turtle touches all over the house, and appreciated the labels on switches and other devices that made life easier. The location is perfect, on a quiet street just a short stroll to the beach. We love Anna Maria Island - the beaches, the sunsets and the wildlife, and hope to return again in the future. Our favourite food recommendations would be a burger at The Waterfront, fish at The Porch and steak at SALT Bar & Table. It’s been an absolute pleasure staying here. We don’t usually stay at the same property twice, but I’d make an exception in this case. I couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate my 50th birthday. Thank you Raye! ##### Kathleen R.

This was our fourth stay in this incredible house, and it truly feels like a home away from home for our family. We keep coming back because it’s simply perfect — from the thoughtful little touches throughout the home to the unbeatable location just steps from the beach. The pool is a favorite for all of us, and the house always feels fresh, clean, and beautifully maintained. Every time we visit, there’s something new — updates or features that make it even better than before. It has everything we need and more. We’re so grateful to have found this gem and can’t wait to return again! ##### Lauren B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara B.

Very cozy, great style, clean and had everything we needed for the perfect beach getaway. My only suggestion is to put black out curtains in the bedrooms, because the neighbor’s exterior light sensor is very bright and goes off and on throughout the night. I brought an eye cover which helped. Other than that we absolutely loved our stay there! ##### Katie W. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M.

Our favorite part was the pool. It was such a fun place to cool off and private from the road. The beach was a quick walk from the house. The house was also close to restaurants and ice cream shops.

The home has just been renovated! The location is great - only 5 minutes to the beach, and in a quiet neighborhood. The soundproofing is excellent too - there was some construction on the street during our stay and we didn’t hear the equipment run with closed doors. The communication with the owner was great - when we had any questions, those were answered reasonably fast! The Turtle Nest is definitely on the short list of places to stay for us in the future, for sure. ##### Mike R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren B.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. The property is beautiful and has all the amenities of home. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the kitchen (equipped with everything you need). Plenty of space for the kids to spread out and the sun room was perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. We enjoyed walking to the beach every evening for sunset (less than 5 mins). Also loved having the beach wagon and chairs, umbrella, etc that are provided. We will stay here again the next time we visit the island. ##### Michelle P.

Our stay at the Turtle's Nest was top notch. Questions I had before our stay were quickly answered. We have stayed at several other houses on AMI, and this one was the most accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and had some condiments and spices. The walk to the beach is short, and having the chairs and wagon available was great. The outdoor shower, pool, and outdoor dining area were key, especially with a 4 and 7 year old. Loved that you can see the pool from the kitchen so I felt comfortable letting the kids play outside while I cooked dinner. We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Kasey G.

A Turtle's Nest was the perfect spot for my family! The house was beautiful and very clean. I stayed in the house with my husband and daughters (3 years and 1 year). There was plenty of room for my kids to move around and the outdoor areas were perfect for relaxing after the kids were asleep. The beach cart was great and fit everything we needed. The walk to the beach is no more than 5 minutes. I couldn't tell from the pictures before booking but the outdoor area with the grill is separated from the pool by a gate if you want a separate area for kids to play away from the pool. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it! ##### Meghan G. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris S.

The villa was even better than the photos with so many nice details...it really felt like a home from home. There was everything we needed in the villa and the beach cart with the location made it an absolutely perfect holiday. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you! ##### Chris S.

Inside and outside - everything worked perfectly. Only regret is a very noisy installation just outside the master bedroom which ruined the night’s sleep ##### Helle H.

Mar 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent house on Anna Maria Island Recently updated and looks amazing! Three living areas - one is a step down living room. Pool on one side of house and grill with fabulous sitting area on the other - do connect with path along the rear of house. Pool is small but absolutely beautiful. Lots of towels provided for pool. Water is 85 degrees. Careful of the step out of house onto pool terrace - it's a bit high. Three bedrooms - 1) Queen bed is comfy and ensuite bath is smallish (shower only) but very very nice. 2) Twin beds with hall bath (Tub with shower) right outside of door. 3) Queen bed with door off of the step-down living area so have to walk around which worked out fine. Kitchen is totally open and well stocked - even condiments in the fridge. Walk to beach only takes 3-5 minutes. Neighborhood is quiet and new circular driveway is perfect! Loved our stay in the excellent Turtle's Nest. ##### Julia Y.
