Q. Is housekeeping included in my stay?
A. Daily housekeeping “refreshes” are included at the Inn. Turtle Beach Inn is a “Green Lodge” and in an effort to conserve water and detergent wastes we do not replace towels and linens daily unless guests request that service. Information details can be found in each room. The Sand Dollar Cottage and Turtle Tower units are “self-contained” as they are provided with dishwashers, washers & dryers, vacuums and brooms.
Q. Do you provide beach umbrellas and beach chairs?
A. At Turtle Beach Inn & Cottages we provide complimentary beach lounge chairs, beach towels and umbrellas. If you are looking for extra umbrellas, cabanas, chairs, loungers or beach carts check out rentals from our local vendors. A couple of local options are "Happy Cabanas" at 816-694-5338 or “Smiley’s Beach Rentals” at 850-227- 1287.
Q. When is sea turtle nesting season?
A. May through October every year is the sea turtle nesting season. The beaches at Indian Pass and Gulf County have a “Leave No Trace” ordinance to help protect these sea creatures: please turn off all lights visible to the beach at night. Please take all beach chairs and umbrellas up when you are finished with them. Keep the beach clear of obstacles at night - fill in holes left at the beach, take down tents daily; and please no glass at the beach.
