Wonderful Gamily Vacation
We had a wonderful experience at the Tortuga! The family enjoyed the dock and the easy access to the ICW as well as the short distance to the beach. The best of both worlds! It is a lovely house.

Family vacation
We absolutely love the yard, porch, the dock was great for the kids kayaking, fishing, the pool was great had a tv at the pool great for the kids and their music. We rented bikes and a golf cart. The area was great for the kids, little traffic, they rode their bikes, with little worry of getting hit. There was a hose in the front of the house to rinse off before heading to the pool shower or in the house. The house was beautiful inside nicely decorated comfortable furniture. However the bed stands could use some work. The house was greatly stocked with every thing needed in a kitchen and good quality items and for someone who loves the kitchen could only appreciate. Enough dishes for the large group. The porches had enough seating to enjoy each others company. The home has been well kept. We had zero complaints. Enough parking for everyone coming in from all directions of the map. Very much enjoyed our stay.
