So relaxing
This property was exactly as described. Very easy check in process and great communications with owner. The mattress was extra comfortable. It was nice having an elevator along with carts to haul things in and out. Alao well stocked. The weather wasn’t great, but we still sat on the porch and listened to the waves and took walks when it cleared. Very quiet in the facility as well as outside. Highly recommend.

Amazing place to Stay
Great location, easy entry, great view! I can't say enough about this property. We didn't cook any meals, but the kitchen was well stocked to make anything you would want. Toaster, coffee maker, crock pot, you name it. Towels were big and soft, shower was wonderful (great pressure and removable shower head). Bed was very comfy and there were plenty of pillows. The pool was heated and we swam in Feb!! Island is easy to get around. The beach felt like we were the only ones there. We are looking to return this summer with our family. Loved Dauphin Island and Turtles Nest East. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a hot tub...but that's just being greedy! LOL

Turtle's Nest
Beautiful views, loved the pools, and the easy access to the beach. The condo looked newly refurbished and was super comfortable. The only issues we had were that we got emails from three different places and it was confusing. We got to the condo and had to call the lady because we didnt have our front door code. She was super helpful and told me to look for an email under a different name. I found it. That was our only issue. We had a graat time and would stay here again or recommend to others.

Just a quick two night stay. Condo was clean and well decorated. With direct access to the white sand beach and two pools, we found time for some much needed r-n-r.
