Located in the coveted community of Secluded Dunes, steps away from the Gulf waters and award winning sandy white beaches! This one-level 4 bedroom, 3 bath home sits on 1/2 an acre and has amazing sunsets, Gulf views and sunrise views over the State Park. Whether you're looking for a family vacation, a girls get-a-way or even a small team retreat, Surfin' Turtle will meet all your needs. Unlike some of neighboring beaches, Cap San Blas, aka Florida's Forgotten Coast,is a true beach vacation - there are no high rises or large condo communities. You're welcome to come down and check it out, but let's try to keep it a secret!
100% will stay here again.Very clean, very well maintained property.Excellent communication from host/manager.Very private, very quiet location. Everything we could have hoped for.
Property was exactly as described. Perfect location and beach/view was amazing. Beds very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Beverage fridge and ice maker were nice to have. My young adult children loved the swim spa. I loved the deck overlooking the beach. Appreciated the beach chairs/umbrella and games. Wonderful week at San Blas!
This home is wonderful! Right on the beach in Secluded Dunes. The beds are so comfy. The furniture was comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The washer and dryer are fabulous! Great home!
We had an absolute blast at Surfinâ Turtle! The floor plan was perfect for our group. The kitchen had everything we needed (wine cooler!!) and lots of cabinets for storage. Plenty of parking! Our favorite was the huge patio! It was perfect for morning coffee and mimosas!
Beautiful place with an amazing view and so peaceful. Very quiet area and perfect for families. Only issue we had was at check-in but owner was very responsive and readily able to help. We look forward to returning soon!
Stunning property on the beach with beautiful sunset views! Perfect time, not hot and not crowded. Everything we needed, clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Communication with hostess was excellent, definitely plan to visit again!
We really enjoyed the homeâs setting! The view of the Gulf from the the home is spectacular! The home faces due west and the sunsets were amazing! The beach is wide, the sand soft and clean, and a short walk to the north soon takes you to State Park Property and few users. The home was clean and comfortably furnished, the kitchen had everything we needed in the way of equipment. I would definitely stay here again.
Surfin Turtle is a beautiful home and most comfortable. It was very clean and welcoming. I have a disabled daughter so the one level living was very accommodating. The owners were very nice and understanding and very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be booking Surfin Turtle again !!
Everything was as described in the listing. Location was perfect. House was beautiful. Communication was speedy and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape the crowds.
This has a perfect location and the views are AMAZING! I would give this a 10 on views if I could. You feel like your on the stern of a boat with the views from the living room. The house is only about 6 houses from the state park. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves!!
The only cons⊠the AC could not keep up with the heat. We had record highs and the AC just couldnât compete in the afternoons. We ended up having to close the hurricane shutters to help cool the house. Thus, losing the views. Also, there needs to be a walkway added to make it more accessible to the beach. Itâs extremely steep and in the heat the sand was excruciatingly hot. We had to wear shoes to the beach. The outside does need minor repairs. One of the beds had sand in it upon arrival, but overall the house was clean. The master shower is tiny! However, we donât go to the beach for the shower so not a deal breaker.
I gave this a 5 mainly because of the views and the beach! They are spectacular!
Wonderful vacation! Perfect quiet location at the northern end of the cape just steps from the beach! The house was perfectâŠclean and well equipped and the view was even better than the photos. Lori was very responsive and helpful!
We love CSB, and stay every year that we can. As a family with several young children, we look for homes that are on the water and spacious. Surfinâ Turtle met every one of our needs! What spectacular views!!! We felt like we were sitting ON the water. Every day was spent on the beach or the screened in porch soaking up the beauty surrounding us.
We also loved the book collection and games!
The kitchen is well stocked and equipped with the best appliances for staying in and making your own meals.
Thank you, Carla and Surfin Turtle for giving our family the rest we needed!!
We enjoyed our stay! Lori is helping Carla on the rental end and she does a fantastic job! She responds quickly (which a lot of management companies don't do that) and is very accommodating. We had a few requests and she was able to make all of them happen! We thank you very much for allowing us to stay and it was very convenient for us too while we are finishing our home in Secluded Dunes....a MUST destination vacation:) Will be back, if needed!
From our first communication, during the booking process and throughout our stay, communication with Lisa was excellent. Her responses were extremely prompt and her manner was enthusiastic and warm. The photos and description of the house are all accurate..
This was our 4th visit to the cape, but the first time in winter. Being from the North, we were looking for a place to relax and enjoy some warmer temperatures. Even though Florida was experiencing a few days of record cold during our stay, it didnât bother us a bit. The house was snug and warm and we enjoyed cooking in most days. The kitchen was well equipped with all new appliances and everything was in perfect working order. We ate at Pepperâs Mexican Grill in Port Saint Joe one evening and enjoyed a bucket of Shrimp Boil from Skullyâs Low Country Boil just down the road on the cape - delicious!
In our opinion, the very best feature of the house is itâs location. Being just a few houses from the State Park provides the quiet and solitude we appreciate. Itâs almost like having your own private beach. So when it was too cold to be outside, we enjoyed the unobstructed gulf views from all living spaces and our master bedroom.
When the temperatures were warm enough my husband enjoyed fishing while I enjoyed long walks on the beach hunting for shells. We walked 5 miles toward the end of the cape and loved the wild views with dunes on one side and the gulf on the other. We saw dauphins on a few occasions and enjoyed watching the birds dive for fish.
The house has high ceilings and is very open and would accommodate a large family easily. My husband and I were alone except for 3 nights when my cousin and her husband joined us.
It sounds cliche, but itâs trueâŠâŠthe only negative was that we didnât book for longer. We highly recommend a stay at the Surfin Turtle!
My husband, teenage son and I visited the Cape San Blas area for the first time during the summer of 2021. We were in awe of the beauty, and how quiet the beach was!
We chose this property primarily based on the location on the Cape - the north end, where it's the most private and secluded. Also, we liked the one-level living.
The views from the porch can't be beat - the front porch in the morning for amazing sunrises, and the beach-side porch in the evenings for sunsets. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
