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 seabed.

5 Stars! Extremely well maintained condo!

The condo was in fantastic shape, extremely clean, and very comfortable for our family of 5. The best vacation rental I have ever stayed at, hands down— kitchen was fully stocked, everything was in great shape, and all the amenities were delightful. Management was easy to work with and even let us check in early! Would absolutely stay at this home or any other RealJoy managed home again.

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!

Beautiful home. Very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives for us were, first there are no grill. Second, the mattress in master bedroom was very uncomfortable. Probably needs to be replaced. We enjoyed the cart to get around. We still would recommend this property..

Great location for families!

Family of 6 - great neighborhood. Felt so safe and the beach was great. Highly recommend getting the golf cart if you plan to visit Baytowne or the beach - so convenient and easy to find parking. Management company was super responsive to needs in the property but had an issue with the golf cart and never heard back about it so we didn’t get to use it our last day which was a bummer. Overall though, would stay here again and recommend to others!

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!
