From the reviews
What an amazing venue for a wedding! We had approximately 85 guests. My family spent several days at the turtle house for my daughters wedding. The hosts are amazing! They worked so hard to make sure our outdoor wedding, on a very rainy weekend, went off beautifully.
Attended a wedding at the turtle house and it was stunning! The most beautiful place to have a wedding. The management was so easy to work with, Janna is very quick to accommodate our requests making the whole experience feel effortless. Highly recommend for a beautiful, stress-free celebration!
Got married here a year and a half ago! Such a beautiful venue, it was everything I dreamed of! Gorgeous sights and a big area as well. We had a little over 250 people and everyone fit well! They had a park for the kids as well! Everyone had so much fun and enjoyed the breath taking views. Wish I could go back!
My friends and I rented The Turtle House for weekend retreat and it was absolutely beautiful! The property has a pool and a game room which we all enjoyed. Lots of great places to eat near by and the view was next level especially during sunset!
Getting married at The Turtle House
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.
