Renovated top to bottom in 2025 — Tides and Turtles is a Holmes Beach waterfront duplex where the canal is literally your backyard. A private dock sits right off the back of the property — bring your boat, push off for a morning paddle, drop a line from the dock, or just pull up a chair and watch the water go by. Direct canal access gives this property a character that standard beach rentals can't replicate.
Inside, shiplap accents and warm wood ceilings set a tone that feels coastal without being kitschy. The open-concept layout lets the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together naturally. The kitchen is built around an oversized island where people tend to gather — quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances fully stocked for a week of serious cooking. Slide open the glass doors and the covered patio and outdoor dining area extend the living space toward the water.
Two bedrooms sleep six. The master suite has a king bed. The guest bedroom has 2 queen beds — a practical configuration for families or groups where everyone wants their own sleeping space. Two and a half bathrooms throughout.
Tides and Turtles requires a one-week minimum stay. Pet-friendly.
Noise Ordinance: You are vacationing in a residential area, the quiet hours are 10 PM-7 AM. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.
