From the reviews

We enjoyed our first time stay here a lot!!! It was reasonably priced and the condo was perfect. Had a great water view and we enjoyed how the community is lit up at night. Great stay here!!!

★★★★★ — Heather, Mar 2022

The picturesque setting with the boats in the marina in the background was perfect but the food even better. Service was great. Had crab cakes for an appetizer and a rib eye for the entre. Perfectly cooked. Loved it and will be back in the near future.

Getting married at Green Turtle Bay Resort & Marina

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
