Island Paradise!
The Tortuga Beach Club is easily the best place to stay in Florida! Sanibel Island is ranked as having some of the best beaches in the world and The Tortuga Beach Club gives you unparalleled beach front access!
The units have all of the amenities that you could ever need! We had an amazing view of the beach and beautifully appointed grounds. The office staff is always helpful with recommending a fun one-of-a-kind outing (we took a great sunset cruise) or an unforgettable spot to dine (Island Pizza is a must try). There are even daily activities and crafts for the kids! Poolside lunches and cocktails mean you don't even need to leave the comfort of your chaise! The full kitchens in each unit allowed us to grill out and have a quality family dinner!

Every time I sat on the screened lanai or went into beach I would be covered with them (and...
Read moreWhat a wonderful break this was! Stayed in an upstairs, two story condo. So close to the beach! Water was warm and shallow a long way out, so safe for the kids too. Very peaceful. Staff were helpful and friendly. We had an AC issue, which was taken care of instantly by the in site team. Very clean, with COVID protocols in place. Do shop for groceries before heading into the island, there are more options in the mainland. Then relax and enjoy! Your car will be parked underneath the building in the shade, and it was a great place to be able to keep bicycles with the car or on the undercover bike racks. We have already scheduled a...
