Turtle Beach Resort, a 4-star award-winning family and pet-friendly retreat in Siesta Key, offers private cottages with water views of Little Sarasota Bay just minutes from Turtle Beach.
Private Cottage Amenities
Each cottage and suite at Turtle Beach Resort features a fully enclosed patio with a personal hot tub and hammock. Accommodations include air conditioning, fully equipped kitchens with stovetops, refrigerators, and ovens, plus flat-screen TVs with streaming services.
Nearby Dining Options
Just a few minutes walking down the road serves fine seafood dining with an extensive wine list. Several local restaurants within walking distance welcome pets, allowing guests to enjoy meals with their dogs.
Waterfront Recreation Amenities
Guests can explore the saltwater bay and nearby islands using complimentary kayaks and canoes. The resort provides free fishing equipment, bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, and access to a heated waterfront pool.
Beachside Location
Turtle Beach Resort is located in Siesta Key, a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Sarasota, Florida. The property sits a short three-minute walk to Turtle Beach, while Brohard Paw Park, a public pet-friendly beach, is 20 minutes south in Venice.
“Turtle Beach Resort, with its award-winning charm, presents a refreshingly secluded alternative to Siesta Key's larger hotels; each cottage has unique decor, and the private patios, complete with hot tubs, offer a tranquil escape. I admire the multi-generational family ownership, and the complimentary bikes and kayaks add an adventurous touch. It's a hidden gem for those seeking a pet-friendly tropical getaway.”
