Trip type: Couples-
We recently spent two nights a the Tortuga Inn celebrating my husband's birthday, and we wished we could have spent two more nights! This was our first stay at the Tortuga, and we were very pleased. The room (a gulf front studio) was quite spacious and well-appointed with a kitchenette and a luxury bath. It didn't feel like a hotel/motel - it felt like we had our own lovely little apartment directly across the street from the beach. The location is good - away from the hustle and bustle, yet just a short walk to Bradenton Beach shops and restaurants. The room was very clean, and the only criticism we had was that the carpet is rather worn. When we checked out, we were greeted and thanked by friendly staff and by the owner, who wanted to know whether we had enjoyed our stay. We have recommended the Tortuga to friends and family members who visit us in Florida, and some of our family members are staying at the Tortuga next month. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Tortuga - our 20th wedding anniversary in April. My husband and I highly recommend this property.

Another RAVE review!

Anna Maria Island is a treasure. Here's what a happy guest had to say about their stay at Tortuga Inn Beach Resort-
Trip Advisor.com August 3rd, 2009
"This place is absolutely an impeccable sleepy little seaside gem!"
This place is even more amazing than their virtual tour! By far the nicest place on Anna Maria Island and the staff particularly Janet were extremely patient and accommodating with our needs! I've lived in Madeira Beach (seminole) for 22 yrs and have traveled all over Florida ,nothing compares to the Tortuga...nothing!
Whoever designed and finished this place hit a Grand Slam!..and the location...well...it speaks for itself!
Amazing restaurants within walking distance ..just ask Janet for the local faves !
2 Thumbs-up plus all the fingers and toes!

Nature at it's finest...
Turtle volunteers had a busy week with mother turtles coming ashore to nest, the first hatchlings emerging, as reported in the AMI Sun.
While boating last week about 1/2 mile offshore, I had the priveledge of seeing a very large sea turtle, 3 nurse sharks circling our boat, 2 non-chalant manatee, and several dolphins. It's always "a beautiful day" on Anna Maria Island and one never knows what they may have the opportunity to experience!

Anna Maria Island News
"Just when you think you’ve seen everything under its proverbial sun, you stumble across a place like Anna Maria Island — a seven-mile slip of cushy white sand tucked in the Gulf of Mexico where you can dump the car, rent a bike, swim in smooth, teal waters and eat remarkably well. "
Cindy Price, New York Times writer for the Travel Section, wrote about her recent Anna Maria Island experience. Read the entire article and many more here...
