Yes, Turtles has all of that-and I'm so glad I found it by accident. I was restless one Friday and pointed the car south. I didn't plan to go to Siesta Key that day, but when I was in that area-and realized how long it had been since my last visit, I had to go. I tooled around a bit on the northern end that I'm more familiar with, then headed way south on the Key. That's where I found Turtles. With its beautiful setting-and a big ol' parking lot, I was immediately sold. There was lots of seating inside-with its happy, coastal vibe, but I chose the outdoor patio-which has two tiers-one covered, one not. It was late spring and I knew the days of comfy patio dining were coming to and end for awhile, so this was the time. Besides-it was even closer to the water. I ordered fish, which was fine... and a rumrunner, which wasn't. I will definitely switch up my order next time. The service was kind-but maybe a little slow. That's ok. You're so enchanted by the ambiance and so chill, it doesn't matter. This was instant vacation, less than two hours from home. Every glance in every direction was postcard pretty. I basked in it-and look forward to doing so again.

I had the fish tacos and it was okay. The chipotle sauce gave its flavor, otherwise the fish was…read moresomewhat bland tasting. The boss had the grilled chicken sandwich. I thought the chicken was overcooked, but the sauce on the sandwich saved the day for it. Service was good. View was very nice. It's convenient after kayaking at turtle but I'll drive up the road next time.

Sean greeted us at the door and was also our waiter while we were there. His recommendations were spot on. We started our meal with soup. I had the tomato bisque which was rich and flavorful and he had the French onion soup which was also full of flavor. For dinner, I had the salmon and my husband had a steak. Both were cooked to perfection and the sides (buttered fettuccine and sautéed vegetables) were also delicious. Anthony from the kitchen graciously brought the food to our table. All staff constantly checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. We ended with a fabulous flourless chocolate brownie topped with ice cream and fruit. The generous portion was more than enough for two people. Overall, I would highly recommend Chaz 51!

Tortuga Club Condos are awesome! My friend's mother owned a condo here, so I had the opportunity to…read morestay here a few times before she sold it. Every stay I experienced here was great! These condos are located just off the beach, with a nice walkway down to the water. It's awesome to stay just off the beach and have that access, as well as pool access, during your stay. Plus, when you're walking down to the beach, you may be lucky enough to see a tortoise that lives there on the grounds. He's so cute! I love him! The condos were very nice and clean. The one we stayed in had a view of the water, and some of the grounds around the beach. The grounds are very well manicured with beautiful green grass and flowers. If you're looking for a great place to stay in Siesta Key, I think Tortuga Club is that spot!

So, I need to buy range balls on top of $195. No cups for water provided? And conditions on course are not great?. I played Gray Oaks last week for $190. Private club and ratws 10/10 course, three 18 holes and all perfect, all drinking water and unlimited cups, amazing greens, super friendly staff and beautiful 2 driving ranges at the main course with free unlimited new Titleist golf balls, amazing club house, amazing food for less money if you can get in. Lely was $165. After 11 am. on golf now and free range balls, free water bottles and amazing condition at Mustang. Note- I will advise tomorrow on Stoney Brook...better be amazing at this price. Lots of great public courses (Arrowhead $150.; Spanish Wells $140.; Valencia $130.; Lely $165; panther Run $130....just saying)
