Turtle Cay Resort is a Key West themed resort just across the street from the Atlantic Ocean.
Turtle Cay offers the most spacious suites on the beach with a private balcony. You will find one of the best collection of outdoor pool options in Virginia Beach. The private courtyard features two outdoor pools (one with a 9ft waterfall), two hot tubs, and a gazebo.
Guests can also access an indoor pool, fitness center, and a rooftop pool at Beach Quarters Resort across from this property.
THE SPACE
This is one of the largest 1BR/1BA units available at any of the VB resorts at almost 775 sq ft, so plenty of extra room for a couple or family of 4.
This unit has a Full Kitchen (Stove, Oven, Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, etc), a Dining Table with seating for 4 people, a Queen Sleeper sofa, a Bedroom with King Bed, a large Bathroom, and a large Balcony with table and chairs and a Courtyard / Pool View. This unit also has a Washer and Dryer inside your unit.
Another nice bonus is that the guests at Turtle Cay can also use the outstanding outdoor pools and facilities at Beach Quarters Resort directly across the street. Turtle Cay and Beach Quarters are "sister" properties that share pools and amenities for guests staying at either resort. So you have plenty of swimming and lounging options between the Beach and the multiple pools at Beach Quarters and Turtle Cay.
There are some excellent dining options within a short walking distance from your unit, including the very highly rated Waterman's Surfside Grille located right across the street. Or if you want something more casual Roma's New York Style Pizza and Italian is almost next door just a few steps down the street located in the Ocean Key Resort building. There are also a number of additional restaurants nearby or located at the Marina / Rudee's Inlet.
During the evenings at or near many restaurants along the boardwalk and surrounding areas you can enjoy live music from various artists and performers.
GUEST ACCESS & CHECK IN
Your unit is private, but since this is a resort hotel property, amenities will be shared with other guests (Pools, Hot Tub, Roof Deck, etc)
The Front Desk is staffed 24hrs a day. You will check in with them. They will provide your room keys and be available to assist with any issues or questions during your stay.
Guest checking in at Front Desk must be 21 years of age or older with a valid photo ID. Your Credit Card will be charged with a temporary hold amount of $1 to $100, and this amount will be fully refunded at checkout (minus any charges you may have made to your room).
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
- The Front Desk is staffed 24/7 for Check-In, Check-Out, and any questions or need for assistance during your stay.
- Guest checking in must be at least 21 years of age with a valid ID and credit card for security deposit.
- There is no daily housekeeping provided, however there is a Washer and Dryer inside your unit. If additional housekeeping is desired during your stay it is available for an additional fee scheduled directly with the resort Front Desk.
- Parking for 1 vehicle is included with this rental. Additional parking spaces available for a nominal daily fee.
- This is a FLOATING unit type. What that means is that you are guaranteed a 1BR/1BA unit as described and depicted in the photos, but your specific unit location (high or low floor, towards front or back of building, etc) will be determined at Check In. You may also call the Front Desk ahead of time about 7-10 days before Check-In and request a certain unit location. Although you can never be guaranteed a specific location the Front Desk will usually try to accommodate requests if they can.
- Once reservations are confirmed, you will be asked for the name and address of the main guest who will check in (the resort's Front Desk will also ask for this information when you check in, but obtaining this information beforehand will expedite the check in process) along with an email address to receive a personal confirmation.
- This is a timeshare resort but attending a presentation or taking a tour is NEVER required.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The Virginia Beach Boardwalk and surrounding area is unique among East Coast beach locations because it has many Oceanfront, Oceanside, Marina, and Bay dining choices, including many with outdoor seating. There is also live music venues all along the boardwalk in the evenings.
GETTING AROUND
If you like to ride bikes, you can park your car and almost not need it for the week as it is easy to travel the boardwalk on your bike. If you don't bring your own there are bike rental stations up and down the boardwalk, including one outside Beach Quarters (just across the street from Turtle Cay).
There is a Virginia Beach trolley that runs up and down Atlantic Boulevard from 40th street down to the Marina below 5th street. This is also an effective way to travel up and down Atlantic Boulevard not needing a car.
