Guests describe La Tortuga Historic Pass A Grille St Pete Beach 68 as a clean, recently renovated, walkable base steps from the beach and shops, with comfortable rooms and convenient touches like parking and beach gear that make stays easy.
Many note helpful property managers and smooth self check-in, though a few report communication lapses, including one booking that fell through and slow responses to issues. Noise is a recurring complaint due to thin walls and upstairs footfalls, and a few units feel small with compact bathrooms; isolated issues include ants, delayed hot water, or lack of AC. Best for travelers prioritizing simplicity over full-service amenities.

Nice and well kept , we really enjoyed being so close to brass monkey and beach access! The only downside I could see was no pool. Hopefully they get one soon!

We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and quiet. Once you park your car you don’t need to drive again. Close to shopping, restaurants, and a very short walk to the beach. I love that they provided beach chairs!

Walls thin and noise is a barrier to sleep( depending on your neighbor). Smoke alarm chirped for 2 hours. Neighbors were noisy most of the night (2 of the 3 nights). Tenants smoking on porch outside of our door( number 5). Took at least a minute and one half to get hot water - a big waste of water. I reported 2 issues and got no response. The unit was very clean. Location is great.

I have come to Pass-a-Grill every few years for about 20 years and stayed at many places in the area. This was by far the smallest place with the highest price. They reached out at 4:45 pm the day before requesting information to let me check in. They woke me up the second morning with no notice asking me to move my car. The shades on the windows do not block out sunlight. The kitchen is not big enough to have space for a drying rack for dishes. The bathroom is too small to keep from banging your head on the vanity. It is recently renovated, clean, with nice bedding. It's just too small to justify the price but a decent place of last resort if you cannot find anything else available nearby.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I love vacationing in Pass-A-Grille and were excited to find the newly renovated LaTortuga boutique hotel. We stumbled upon the property while here last year, and Brandon met us to give us a tour. We were delighted to book Unit 8 for our stay this year, big enough to accommodate our adult children as guests if either decided to visit during our two week stay. The location of LaTortuga is perfect, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The unit itself is appointed beautifully, with tasteful decorations and everything we needed for a lovely stay. We were sure to book for next year before we left PAG.

Walls thin and noise is a barrier to sleep( depending on your neighbor). Smoke alarm chirped for 2 hours. Neighbors were noisy most of the night (2 of the 3 nights). Tenants smoking on porch outside of our door( number 5). Took at least a minute and one half to get hot water - a big waste of water. I reported 2 issues and got no response. The unit was very clean. Location is great.

Great room, very welcoming decor. All the locations were very accessible. The bonus was the bikes downstairs in well maintained condition. Loved the stay. I did not see any staff until I checked out on 12/28/25 @10:30. But I did not have any problems following directions. They were well written. Can't comment due to the staff was on Christmas break.

The room reserved at La Tortuga was not available when we arrived. There was no communication from the property management company and we were left to find another hotel on our own. Hotels.com did grant us a refund but did not help us find a new hotel for our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I love vacationing in Pass-A-Grille and were excited to find the newly renovated LaTortuga boutique hotel. We stumbled upon the property while here last year, and Brandon met us to give us a tour. We were delighted to book Unit 8 for our stay this year, big enough to accommodate our adult children as guests if either decided to visit during our two week stay. The location of LaTortuga is perfect, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The unit itself is appointed beautifully, with tasteful decorations and everything we needed for a lovely stay. We were sure to book for next year before we left PAG.

Quiet, quaint hotel in the heart of Pass-a-grille - you can walk anywhere. Perfect views of the ocean & sunrise from our unit. Unit was spacious, bed was very comfortable, bathroom was small but didn’t spend much time in there anyways. Great communication from property management team.

Stayed here with my wife and 10 week old baby, first big trip for us as a family unit. The property was beautiful and located in the best possible spot in Pass A Grille. Overall 10/10 we will be coming back.

We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and quiet. Once you park your car you don’t need to drive again. Close to shopping, restaurants, and a very short walk to the beach. I love that they provided beach chairs!

I would recommend this hotel primarily for the location, proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants. And the pool was nice. On the down side, the tub drain was clogged with hair (yuck) and the washing machine didn’t work so we had to take our dirty laundry to a laundromat (not ideal). We also had to constantly empty a dehumidifier. The bathroom was quite small. The interior was nothing special.

A six page contract with a ton of strict rules can’t move furniture, can’t touch tv, can’t leave sand in any place, leave a/c at 78 degrees etc etc., all these subject to fines. My a/c was pouring water all night and was fixed next morning. There is nobody at the hotel you can reach, that’s why everything is virtual. I don’t recommend it if you are looking for a relax vacation.

This place is one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever been to which is important to me. Great location on the island, I wish there was just better food around there.
