NEW! The Turtle Nest - Heated Pool & White Sand Beach Fire Pit Area

Bring your family to come relax & refresh yourself at The Turtle Nest. The Turtle Nest is a beach themed home, offers plenty of space to spread out for some alone time or come together and play. The location of this home puts you just minutes from beaches, shopping and restaurants, with world class beaches just a hop, jump and a skip away.
The Turtle Nest offers a ton of fun in the sun! Hang out in the screened lanai and watch the kids swim & play, non stop in the heated pool. We’ve provided pool towels, pool noodles, floats, dive sticks, and goggles. Ground yourself and relax while soaking up the sun with your toes in the white sand in our new white beach sand fire pit area, or relax on one of the 2 lounge chairs while watching the kids play the numerous, assorted outdoor games, like ladder toss, jenga, connect four, or corn hole. Mosey past our Mango tree for a snack before heading over to the hammock with a book, where you can relax as long as you want. When its time to eat, the kitchen is fully stocked and ready to go, a gas grill, and grilling utensils are provided to BBQ something up! If you don’t feel like cooking, there are numerous restaurants and options within a 3 mile radius, as well as delivery services available.
The Turtle Nest is centrally located to explore many of the renowned gulf shore beaches, Florida has to offer. Whether you want to pop over to the beach for an hour or two or take the day for a beach adventure we have plenty to make your family beach day memorable! Port Charlotte Beach is a short 8 min drive. Exquisite beaches such as Manasota KeyBeach, Boca Grande Beaches and Venice Beach within 20-24 miles. The garage is equipped with a cooler, 4 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, sand toys and a beach wagon to pull it all! Love to fish? 2 saltwater surf poles have been provided, so head over to the local bait shop and throw a line in the water at one of the many fishing piers/spots in the area.
All new furniture and mattresses throughout was selected for comfort. Each bedroom has a theme. The “Octopus room” features a queen bed w/ a bathroom and walk in closet, the “Turtle” room features a queen bed, and the “Shark” Room features 2 twin beds as a trundle. This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home can accommodate up to 8 people (if the reservation is for more than 6 people, please note 2 people would be sleeping on the fold out couch with an upgraded luxury mattress, in the Florida room, which is a common/shared space of the home.) Each room has a smart TV, alarm clock, sound machine, ceiling fan, wind machine fan, & a flashlight. Wake up and make yourself a cup of coffee or tea from the coffee bar, decide if you’d like just a cup or a whole pot with the dual option Keurig. Nestle into one of the many couches or chairs available and play card or a board game, watch some sports or catch up on your favorite shows on the 72 inch smart TV. Fast Wi-Fi and a desk area for those who work remotely.
Parents of little children, you don’t have to pack all the extra stuff, we’ve provided a pack n play, high chair, stroller, as well as to audio baby monitors to make your travel a little less stressful.

Excellent place to stay

House was very clean and stocked with anything you would need. Sliding glass door worked very hard but the owners stated they are waiting for a new one to come in so they are aware of the issue. The pool was very clean and warm. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place in the area. Pictures are very accurate.

Fantastic Rental

This house was perfect for our family of 8. Plenty of room, pool, and good location. They have literally thought of anything and everything you could possibly need here. We mainly utilized the pool while we were there, but the fire pit was amazing. Loved not having to deal with wood etc to get it started. Tiki hut was a nice surprise and a great place to hang out while grilling dinner. We were close to the mall in Port Charlotte, also enjoyed some great donuts at Abbe’s Donuts. The house is location is great, you can drive to Naples, Fort Myers, or go north to Venice or Tampa. Which we did, you’re right in the middle of it all. Communication was fast and friendly with the owner. We have rented several properties over the years and I would say this is the best stocked house we’ve ever stayed. All we needed was food, toiletries, and our clothes. We throughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back! Thanks again for a fantastic vacation!

We stayed at The Turtle Nest to visit family we havent seen in years. Everything was provided and thought of. Appliances, linens, pool towels and toys were all ready and available to use. The owners also have streaming services signed in for use for the guests. Water pressure in the shower was good. Washer, dryer and dishwasher all worked without issues. Definitely planning to stay again next year and making it a family vacation yearly. The heated pool, and outdoor was entertaining as well. It was too hot outside so we did not use the fire pit or the grill but everything was there. We also had a lot of fun with the outdoor jenga set and used the other games provided. One of the best trips we have ever had. Thank you!!

Okay but. No super stay

We rented The Turtle Nest when in Port Charlotte dealing with my elderly parents. My father was in rehab after a hospitalization. My mother was still in assisted living after a disastrous apartment move. A short visit turned long and we vacated a hotel for a VRBO. The location was close to both parents. The house was clean, very well stocked, and nicely updated. Checkin and Checkout out was very easy. The house rules were reasonable: basically what we do at home. The biggest issue we had was the heat. The thermostat programs may be adequate during peak tourist seasons, but not summer. We would set the thermostat to 72° and find the inside temp at 85° when we came back. It would take all evening to get the inside temp reasonable. At night it goes into sleep mode and again raises the temp. The pool equipment is right outside the master bedroom and noisy. We did not use the pool. Our’s at home is much bigger and nicer. This one seemed quite cramped. The grill is outside by the tiki bar and in the full sunlight. Grilling in the evening heat is challenging. Most Florida VRBOs have their grill conveniently inside the lanai and near a ceiling fan. We probably wouldn’t rent The Turtle Nest again. There are better options in the area.

Nice VRBO

This property was a nice fit for us and the location was just right as we were visiting family members. The host appeared to think of the gusts and provided some things such as beach chairs etc that you would not normally expect to have provided for you. The sand pit was nice but presented a challenge in getting the sand off your feet/shoes before reentry to the house.

Amazing!

This was a wonderful home to stay in while visiting Port, Charlotte and Punta Gorda. The house was beautifully decorated by the hostess. They didn’t leave anything out. Everything was so clean and well appointed for our stay! We would absolutely come and stay there again. The hostess was amazing to communicate with, and helped me out with any questions I had. Thank you so much.

Great stay decent location

The house is really nice and has everything you need. Especially for a beach vacation even though the beach is about 45 min to an hour away. The layout was nice. The location had lots of stores and restaurants nearby. We had 2 families in there. Total of 4 kids and there was plenty for them to do.

Great memories made at the Turtle Nest

We had a wonderful time staying at the Turtle Nest. My two boys (6) & (10) were entertained the entire stay. Everything is as listed in the property description and it is just a short drive to many beaches, shops, restaurants and more. We will definitely keep this property in mind the next time we come down to Florida.

Well appointed home

The house was very clean, well appointed and decorated nicely. The home was well stocked with quality amenities, definitely set the rental apart. We had a little issue checking in as the code and access information was not initially provided and had to reach out to VRBO but was resolved relatively quickly. The neighborhood/location was acceptable and quiet but not necessarily a selling point. Overall, the rental met our needs and expectations!
