Plenty to keep the kids happy – burn off some energy at the Adventure land Playground, test your courage at the Gulf Coast’s only zipline or ropes course at Baytowne Adventure Zone.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Beach and Golf Family Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at the Thirsty Turtle property! It was really spacious and quiet, the pool was right behind us and the golf cart included made getting back and forth from the beach easy and enjoyable! I was able to play the Links course during our stay, but look forward to playing the other 3 courses during a future stay at this property!

Destination Wedding Guests
We came to the area for a destination wedding weekend and had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect as the wedding was on the beach at the Hilton. It was a short drive with the golf cart! We also enjoyed all the options for meals close by. Had we been there longer I would have taken advantage of the shopping opportunities too. The home was fabulous! Everything was clean. The decor was lovely and minimal, yet there were a few extra touches to make it feel homey. Sitting on the patio was nice and we enjoyed having a few of the pool, which was not too busy given the season. I would absolutely stay there again. It was so easy checking in as well as out.

Golf cart is not included!
We’ve always rented places with golf carts, but somehow we “missed” the fact that the cart is an extra charge for the week. So, we ended up forking over several hundred more dollars after we arrived to get something that was prominently featured in the pictures. Disappointing. When we finally got the golf cart, the tires were badly under-inflated, but we were able to air them up at the marina’s bicycle rental site. Twice, the aged battery nearly left us stranded with its depleted range. The 2nd time, we literally pushed it a short distance back to the charger at the condo. About the condo, the 2 renovated bathrooms were excellent! Kitchen was nicely equipped as well. The master bedroom mattress is shot and needs to be replaced. The screened porch is a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks.

Beautiful home/great location
Pros: Great location Beautiful home Lots of room Home was stocked perfectly with things you will need to enjoy your stay! Cons: Parking is tough, not a lot of room to park and there is no designated parking spots. This unit no longer comes with a golf cart. This is a huge downside. Everyone is riding around on them and the beach is a good distance from the house. This area of Florida is mainly golf carts so not having one is no fun.

Pleasant rental as advertised
We enjoyed our stay at Thirsty Turtle! There was plenty of room for three couples. It was as advertised - no surprises. The porch was lovely. There was lots of activity at the pool during the day, but it was quiet and peaceful in the evenings! There was, as described, a bit of a walk to the beach, which was not too scenic. The condo is part of The Sandestin Beach and Golf resort, which provides rentals of beach chairs and umbrellas at their kiosk on the beach. We were happy to discover that these were available without advance reservation.

First time visitors in Sandestin for 4 of us and the other couple are repeat visitors to the area. The Thirsty Turtle pics delivered and seeing the place and having everything available was amazing! The six person golf cart made it easy to get around the complex and nearby shops and restaurants as well as the beach! I can’t wait to go back again!

Relaxing beach getaway at Thirsty Turtle
My family loved this condo. The location was perfectly located very close to the beautiful beach and we enjoyed being able to utilize the golf cart to get around the resort and to/from the beach. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys were a nice bonus as well. The condo itself was beautiful, spacious, clean, well-appointed, and had a nice screened-in balcony with view of the pool. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
