Spring break in the keys
We absolutely loved our stay in Turtle Cove. The pool, the dock, the beautiful weather, what is not to love. House wasn’t fancy, but it was old Florida perfect. We were outside so much, we just needed a place to sleep and eat. They provided us with bath and beach towels and the boat house was full of fishing poles and a collection of hooks, etc that other visitors had left. We added some of our own and left a float for others to enjoy in the pool (my favorite thing to do!). We will definitely be back!

Great location! So many perks!
We enjoyed our stay at the home. Property was very clean, conveniently located and had lots of great features. We loved coffee every morning on the dock. Kayaks and boat house supplies were a great bonus. Property was large and it was great having our own little oasis for vacation.

The property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room in the house. Kids spent a lot of time in the pool. We fished and snorkled from the dock. Saw lots of different fish and small nurse sharks. The property is in a perfecr location. Easy drive to Key West. Plenty of great restaurants within a few minutes of the property. The only complaint we have, is that we only stayed a week. We will definitely stsy here again.

Excellent in every way!
House had everything we needed. My 9 year old fished from daylight to dark. We rented a boat from Cocos boat rental for the week and it was nice to park it at house. My son caught nurse sharks, lobster and fish almost every cast! He didn’t want to leave! We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay, the house was just as expected from the pictures and well equipped. The pool was great, dock is nice and plenty deep to park a boat. There were extra fishing poles, snorkeling gear, life jackets and even a bait freezer in the boat house. The view is fantastic. We will stay here again.

Fisherman’s Dream
The boat house! The dock! The location! All combine to make this property fabulous for the serious fisherman. Bait fridge, hoses and plenty of storage in the boat house make heading every day as easy as possible. The house was exactly as advertised - not luxurious but adequate. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment; laundry room was great. Hope to be back!

Gorgeous setting
The owners were incredibly nice and communicative. The house is in an ideal location to get anywhere local or even to the upper Keys down to Key West. The house was nicely equipped with anything we would need. We enjoyed fishing right from the dock. The views are wide open and stunning.We also very much enjoyed the pool and huge patio area.

The house was amazing.
The house fit 7 of us perfectly. They left so much for our kids to use and do, including games, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, floats, and more. It’s centrally located and easy to find. It’s a short distance to the beach. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

BEAUTIFUL location!
Joined our son and grandchildren at this incredibly beautiful location. It's an old style Florida home on the water with incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico. We Enjoyed the five kayaks everyday and found some really cool places & coves and saw lobsters and a big manatee. Right off the dock we caught many mangrove snapper fish and a nurse shark and a small hammer head ....all we released. In the morning on the dock/pier it's like being in an aquarium, parrot fish, snapper and nurse sharks all around. The salt water pool is a plus! I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely book again.

Perfect Getaway
We enjoyed this property with another family over Spring Break. We loved the water access and kayaks available right on the property. We were able to snorkel right from the dock then jump in the heated pool. We set up our hammocks and spent most of our time relaxing in the yard. The kids had fun swimming and playing with the fallen coconuts. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
