Turtle Beach - Great Escape

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Turtle Beach is a spacious, 2,200-square-foot condo directly on the Gulf of Mexico, waiting to be your home away from home for your next Florida vacation! It features that 'wow factor' that many vacationers look for, along with jaw-dropping views from the open-floor-plan living room with an electric fireplace, dining area, and kitchen, as well as from the master bedroom and the unbeatable 42-foot-long balcony. The other three east- and west-facing bedrooms also have partial gulf views. This inviting getaway was fully repainted and refurbished in spring 2012, and largely repainted again in 2015 and 2018 as part of interior renovations. A lack of entertainment options shouldn't be a problem here, as this beach abode features a 55-inch flatscreen TV, TiVo DVR, and 4K Sony Blu-ray/DVD in the living room, a 40-inch Samsung and Blu-ray in the master bedroom, a 32-inch Samsung and Blu-ray in the twin-bedded bedroom, and another 55-inch 4K LG OLED flatscreen TV and Xbox OneX (make sure to bring your games!) in the fourth bedroom. The fully equipped kitchen includes all you need for dining in or just taking quick meals. The dining table comfortably seats six, and the adjoining kitchen island has three counter stools.

What’s nearby:
You'll be conveniently located two miles east of Seaside and within easy walking distance of Cafe Thirty-A, one of the best restaurants in the area, and The Perfect Pig, which opened in November 2012 to rave reviews and has maintained them since. Goatfeathers Seafood Market, Cafe Thirty-A, and Brozinni's are just down the street, as is the nearest bicycle rental shop. Make sure to visit lively downtown Panama City Beach (23 miles away) for even more family-friendly fun at Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Coconut Creek Family Fun Park, Race City, WonderWorks, and more!

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Free seasonal beach service

Another trip to The Great Escape

Another trip to this beautiful beachfront condo is a real testament to its perfect location and convenience. Scott, we loved your place before but now with all of the new upgrades, it's even better! The new dry bar is an excellent addition! We love the view from the large balcony, with the rockers. The balcony height of this second level condo is exactly where you'd want it while viewing the sunset each evening! Always nice to have an elevator too! Thanks Scott. Pam

Wonderful Vacation

The property was gorgeous and location perfect. Our family enjoyed our stay and would book this property again. I'm not a big fan of Vacasa managed properties. They are always very well stocked, but communication is awful. I couldn't get anyone to answer any questions on the property beyond what I could read in the listing. It appeared clean upon arrival, but over the course of our stay, we found trash on the floor from previous tenants. I highly recommend the property itself, but the management company is a deterent. That being said, our family would stay here again. I was just thankful we didn't have any issues while there. I wasn't confident we would be able to reach anyone that could help.

Wonderful Beach Getaway

We had a wonderful time in Santa Rosa. Star deducted because this is not actually a vacation rental by owner, it is through vacasa (who cannot get in touch with the owner). I had something amazon delivered only to find out I couldn’t access the mailbox. Not a big deal, but I went back through my rental agreement and did not see anything in the disclosure about deliveries, and vacasa couldn’t help.

Fabulous view and location!

The condo has an unobstructed view of the beach. We appreciated the abundance of beach towels provided. Having a community pool was a nice option on the days we were not able to get into the water on the beach. We did not have sheets for the bottom bed on the trundle and asked for them soon after checking in Saturday evening, but did not receive them until Sunday morning. We did also ask for additional bath towels and received ample extra towels Sunday morning as well. The kitchen was well stocked with plates and glasses. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, dishes and glasses. The kitchen floor needed to be scrubbed a bit better, and the cabinets needed to be cleaned around the knobs, but otherwise, the Condo as a whole was very clean. This condo was absolutely an excellent value for the location and accommodations!

Home away from home

We travel to 30A every year, and we were extremely happy with The Great Escape at Turtle Beach! There were so many plus’s about this condo. The walk to the beach was so convenient that I didn’t feel we needed to pack a lunch each day, as it was so easy to just pop back up to the condo for a few minutes. There was only one row of beach chairs, which I alsolutely loved. We rented a golf cart for the week, but if we hadn’t there were so many shops, restaurants and ice cream places within walking distance. The condo itself was very spacious and have everything we needed. The absolute only con was that the pool water was very warm. I’m guessing not much can be done about this with it being so warm outside though. It didn’t bother me much as I was there for that gorgeous ocean. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We never were able to tip our beach attendant, as we didn’t cross path’s that last day, so if there is a way we can Venmo him or something, please let us know. :)

Lot's of room. Nicely decorated.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape #200. The second floor had an amazing view of the gulf. The beach service and private beach access was great. Beach Towels and some beach toys in the closet were also nice to have. There is a washer and dryer in the condo - but unfortunately the washer broke on the second load - so we had wash a lot of cloths by hand - but the dryer was nice. The property manager did bring more towels for us to use though. Overall - Great Property - would definitely book again.

Awesome Week at Great Escape

We had a wonderful week at Great Escape! The house was beautiful and the location was great. Just a few a steps away from the beach! One of my favorite things was the six chairs and three umbrellas that were set up every morning! We would definitely go back!

Loved the location and the view of the beach. Greatly appreciated the 6 chairs and 3 umbrellas as apart of the rental.... Also appreciated the privacy to the beach. No crowds and prime seating! The condo was warm and inviting. Plenty of space for 2 families, 8 ppl. We will plan to visit again.

Great family vacation...the Great Escape met our family's needs even with high winds that kept us out of the Gulf the entire trip. What swimming pools provide...a backup. The view is majestic and a place we treat as our second home every year.
