About this property

❤ Turtles Nest 🏖 Mins to the Beach☀ Family Condo❤

The Turtle’s Nest is a self-catering accommodation for the budget minded family/friends looking for a cozy nest to stay in the heart of Destin. We allow up to 2 dogs at NO CHARGE. Turtle’s Nest is on the 2nd floor, conveniently located across the street from the beach and next to Big Kahuna’s Waterpark and The Track Family Park. Our complex offers 3 pools, with one being only steps away from your front door, and a peaceful lake walkover just steps away where you can feed the turtles from the bridge.

The space
The entire nest has been decorated to reflect its seaside setting. You will definitely feel like you are on a tropical holiday no matter where you turn. The gorgeous white-sand beach is just a few minutes’ walk away. A grill is available just outside the building for home-style BBQ's for the fish you catch or buy from specialist seafood shops nearby. For those with kids, there are plenty of amusement centers of interest around the corner like The Big Kahuna’s Waterpark and The Track Family Amusement & Theme Park.
When you arrive at the complex, you will enter through one of our two gated entrances and you will be provided with the complex gate access code. You will enter the Turtle’s Nest with a code on our keyless entry keypad, for added convenience.
Walking into the nest you will see the living room that welcomes you with a comfortable queen sleeper sofa with upgraded 5” memory foam mattress and love seat. The living room area also provides a 54” flat-screen TV. Our dining area overlooks the balcony where you can sit and sip a cup of coffee in the sunshine at a table indoors or on the balcony. From the balcony you have a great view of the tennis facility and one of our 3 pools.
Our laundry room is situated directly off the balcony and has a full-sized washer & dryer for your convenience.

Our kitchen area is a full open concept to the dining room, and it is fully stocked with all your cooking essentials like dishes, bake ware, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, blender, crock-pot and standard coffee maker with complimentary coffee, cream, sugar, etc.

Directly off the living area you will have easy access to both living quarters. The master bedroom is equipped with a queen size bed and comfortable pillows for a great night's sleep. The other bedroom is equipped with 2 full size beds. Both bedrooms have flat-screen televisions with ample selections of channels for relaxing in bed while watching your favorite shows at the end of the day.

Our bathroom offers a large shower with complimentary dispenser of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We also have a fully stocked linen closet with plenty of towels and other bath supplies.

We have attempted to provide nearly everything you will need for an enjoyable family/friend’s low-cost getaway to the beautiful Emerald Coast. Perhaps the only thing you will need to bring is your bathing suit and a beach towel! We even have a limited supply of beach gear such as umbrellas, chairs, beach toys, beach mats, etc.

While the closest beach access is about a 1 mile walking distance or about a 10-minute walk, it is a short drive with plenty of free parking adjacent to the Back Porch Restaurant and the June White Decker Public Beach where you will have convenient access to restrooms and shower facilities. The Henderson Beach State Park is only 1.6 miles away or a short 5-minute drive, and I highly recommend this extremely family friendly State Park that has awesome facilities for a small fee of $6 per carload.

Guest access
At Gulf Terrace, our guests have full access to the entire condo, tennis courts and three swimming pools. Parking is free for all our guests. Once you have booked our cozy condo, an email us will be sent to you 3 days before your arrival regarding your itinerary. You will find a link to the check-in instructions in the message. When you access this link, you will find the complex gate access code for both entrances, as well as the latest door code to use during your stay.

Other things to note
We provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower, as well as dishwasher detergent and cleaning supplies. The laundry room is fully stocked with laundry soap. There are plenty of surf shops nearby to purchase any beach accessories that you may need.

Great place!

Great place. My family really enjoyed our stay. The place was better than expected. Only thing to make it better would it being beach front but the price makes the very short drive worth it. Everything was very easily accessible and convenient for food, shopping and the beach.
