Evolve is horrible host
Would not rent from any listing evolve is involved with. Contacted days before stay to discuss options as hurricaine was predicted to hit the area. Got someone different each time and each time they said they were monitoring the weather. Took many calls and many messages to get any communication even after evacuation was govern for the area. No refund was given by host just a credit for future stay. Would not stay with this host again.

Good experience overall
We stayed in a unit with No beachfront view. Beach is just a 30 second walk away though. Property includes lawn chairs, beach towels, has plenty of sand toys for children so no need to rent these. Beach area is great. Unit was slightly smaller than we expected but not a big deal. Our only dissatisfaction really was the balcony was extremely dirty and the bed sheets did not fit properly. Overall I would come back to this property.

Turtle Crawl Inn resort review
Was a nice place. Right on the beach. Absolutely no problems. We had a great time. Great restaurants nearby and a park a block away with tennis pickleball shuffleboard and more. Saw a great sunrise and sunset. Wish we had stayed longer than a week. Loved it.

Cute condo
Overall, it was lovely. We loved the little porch. The bathroom could use some updating. Plus, it could have had a few more supplies such as cleaning wipes or cleaning spray, shower soap or bar soap and aluminum or plastic wrap. There was nothing to clean with except a dish sponge and paper towels. So we had to buy some supplies.

Perfect family getaway
This was our favorite part of our vacation in Florida! Communication was great and the condo was exactly as pictured. The walkway to the beach is beautiful and well-kept and literally about a minute walk. The pool is small but clean and our 11 year old loved it. There is a Publix about a 4 minute drive away which was really helpful. Absolutely loved that the condo provided an umbrella and beach toys and chairs…so thoughtful. Perfect beach for picking shells, dolphin sighting, baby turtle sighting, no crowds, has a sleepy beach town feel with plenty to do within driving/biking distance. Book it!

We stayed at the Turtle Crawl Inn condos this week for a Spring Break getaway from NY. The location right on the gorgeous Longboat Key Beach cannot be beat. And the fact that this isn't a high-rise hotel was also a plus, since the people staying here didn't crowd the beach. The villa itself was nice, if not exceptional. There are two queen beds in the bedroom, a small kitchen, a dining area, a den area and a lanai. The TV reception was very bad and there was a teeny stovetop, but overall, it was a good value and a lovely location.

Cute little condo SO close to the beach!
Condo was exactly as pictured. We unfortunately encountered a ton of rain and red tide but we're comfortable in our space playing games and exploring other places. Had it not been red tide, we'd have been out on the beautiful sand that was literally steps away every day. The benefit of this place being run by a company was were able to exchange fresh towels and get extra toilet paper. Biggest con: they were missing a couple basics like salt and pepper. Wonderful place overall.

We loved this place. The location was great- quiet, private beach with chairs and umbrellas for use. The condo was clean and had everything we needed- even paper towel, trash bags, and dish soap. Beds and couch weren’t the comfiest but besides that our stay was perfect!! Would love to return.

Girls Weekend
This rental was great for a quick 4 day getaway with some girlfriends. Walk to the beach is just one minute. Shops and restaurants are very close in proximity. No more than 5-10 minutes to get to some great places to eat. Cookware in the rental is a little lacking but it was fine for the few days we were there. Deck looks at someone’s driveway but lots of foliage so it makes the view a little more appealing. Overall I would absolutely recommend.

Great Little Place
This unit is exactly as what is shown. There aren't any surprises. It is clean and tidy and a very very short walk to the beach. Pool is on the smaller end but it wasn't busy and our 2 and a half year old loved it. For what we paid for 3 nights this place can't be beat.

Wonderful friendly location. Only thing we would have loved was a better view. It was very close to the ocean...but couldn’t see it. Otherwise, met our expectations!
