Nestled in quaint and quiet Mexico Beach, the delightful "Happy Turtle" 2/2 condo is waiting for you to come and relax!! This is the place to enjoy the best of the beach! The Happy Turtle Condo is equipped for both long or short stays to make your vacation one to remember. UNIT 11 is located on the third floor of Surfside, a Gulf-front Complex in Mexico Beach, FL. The Happy Turtle luxury beachfront vacation retreat is a two-bedroom, two-bath condo, at the end of the road directly on the white-sand beach (no roads to cross). This bright, clean, and uncluttered luxury rental features high-quality furniture, 100% Cotton (white) bedding, quality white cotton towels (beach towels are also provided), a fully stocked kitchen, smart TVs, Neso Beach tent, beach chairs and towels, and more! The relaxing and large gulf-view balcony sits on the east side of the building, perfect for watching the sun rise in the gulf breezes as you enjoy your morning coffee, watching the waves roll in, and keeping an eye on your family on the beach. In the evenings, you can watch the glistening lights of Port St. Joe along the night coast, while listening to the ocean’s soothing waves. Pool located beachside at base of building. Parking is directly underneath building with elevator access. This property is locally owned and managed, to ensure guests have a comfortable, clean, and relaxing beach visit.
The primary bedroom has a king bed with ocean views and large ensuite bathroom; the second bedroom has a queen bed, ocean views, and has a bathroom directly across the hallway. This condo sleeps four. Maximum occupancy is four according to code -- strictly enforced. The dining table seats four, and four bar chairs sit at the bar in-between the kitchen and living space. A large sliding glass door lead out to the long balcony with Adirondack chairs for relaxing outside in the Florida sunshine. Surfside Condos has an elevator (as well as stairs, of course) that will take you right down to the beach with no busy street to cross. The Happy Turtle Condo at Surfside is located on the quiet west side of Mexico Beach, and is within walking distance of several shops and (our favorite) Mango Marley's restaurant on Hwy 98. Surfside is a gulf front condo complex with fantastic views and easy beach access (the beach access point is at the end of the street) . The building is located beachside and is located at the end of the street. It is not directly on Highway 98 like the others, making noise and traffic less of a concern.

The property was very clean, had everything that we needed for our stay, plus some extras! The location was perfect, with the beach just steps away. Would highly recommend and would gladly stay again!

Loved the property. The beach and access are great. Only complaint is the murky brown ocean water.
Five stars to the very courteous and kind owners of "The Happy Turtle" where we spent such a pleasure filled week! The condo was immaculately clean and well kept, well stocked, and very tastefully decorated.The owners were extremely helpful with information on the local area, where to eat etc., and were immediately responsive to any needs or questions that we had. They truly did an outstanding job in making our stay enjoyable and memorable.V&G
We enjoyed our stay. Condo was sufficiently stocked with everything you would need and some things you wouldn’t think to take. It was clean and well maintained. Look forward to going back again.
The home was so clean and well appointed. We were impressed with the little extra touches! Easy access to the beach and we enjoyed the pool. Overall excellent in every aspect, we can’t wait to go back.
The best ever vacation. Condo is better than advertised. We met Tammy, and she is the nicest person. The beach is beautiful white sand. We were close enough to some great seafood restaurants. I suggest Hunt’s. Very quiet beach, great for us because we wanted to get away from the chaos.
We normally would not drive up to this part of Florida for a beach vacation, but we met our Georgia family up there and we had a wonderful time. The condo was very clean and perfect size for my husband and I and our 17-year-old son. I love that there was a thought in providing slippers, flip flops and other items to make the stay comfortable. I felt like there was everything you possibly could need for a week stay. We did have to buy some garbage bags (only one in the can) but no biggie. The host was quick in responding when I had a question. Check in was very easy and look just like the photos. Highly recommend for someone who wants to visit that part of Florida.
