Ocean and beach views

Soak up the views during your stay.
With balconies overlooking the beach, The Ivory Turtle is the ideal setting to watch sunrises and sunsets glow off the ocean. Located oceanfront where no vehicles are allowed, the house is open-concept with windows framing a stunning view of the Gulf. Large enough to sleep 6, but small enough to feel like home, there are two bedrooms & two bathrooms in this house on stilts that gently sways with the winds. Perfect for a family vacation, honeymoon or small group getaway.

The space
The top-floor has a king-sized bed and a private balcony, while the second bedroom has two full-sized bunks and a trundle. There are two bathrooms, including one that features a relaxing soaking tub = no shower. The bathroom on the first floor has a rain shower, and there is also a temperature-controlled open-air shower that is available to wash off the remnants of your sandcastle.
The kitchen is well-appointed or you can grill and picnic beneath the covered patio. (There is both a propane and ceramic grill. Remember to bring your fuel.) A full-size washer and dryer, free WIFI and basic cable, 3 smart TVs so you can watch on your preferred apps, driveway parking, a fully fenced yard, a crib for the littlest family member on the top floor, beach toys, chairs and outdoor games are all available for use.

Guest access
This is a small, entire home located right on the beach.
