Everyone had some degree of suffering during hurricane Michael but turtle lake was very good to us. First and foremost, in the aftermath of the disaster all residents had rent waved for 3 months, because of that we had time to look for new jobs, pay all our overdue bills and we were able to do Christmas which was a HUGE blessing. Second, the staff has always been nothing but kind and understanding and bend over backwards to meet any requests we have. Unfortunately, maintenance is very... understaffed but such can't be helped considering the situation and isn't permanent and will be remedied with due time. Even considering such they work as fast as possible. lastly, the community and residents mostly keep to themselves and are quiet.

The only negative thing I can say about turtle lake is the pest control company they hire (Brock) isn't worth the spare change I'm required to throw their way every month.
I was also sad to see all the beautiful trees that survived get cut down.

This was the first apartment my boyfriend and I have ever lived in together but we were well taken care of. I can only hope that our next apartment complex out of state will be even half as good. And I can assure you that once all the repairs are done they are going to be beautiful. Read More

I have been dealing with an ongoing roach problem for over 8 months now which the management has been informed ever since July of 2017 it's now February of 2018 and the management refuses to do anything about this. The first year no signs of any roaches when I got new neighbors the issue began and it has yet to be resolved.

The staff will tell change paperwork on you without telling you and put you in a different apartment than the one they say they show you, but by then you've already signed your lease. Very very sneaky company. It has changed ownership at least twice since I have lived here in 1 year. There are raccoons in the dumpsters at night, ducks poop on your porch, there is trash left out everywhere. Not a clean environment. They just want you to sign that lease. I highly DO NOT recommend. Good luck.

I moved here about a year ago and have really enjoyed it here. The apartment is beautiful and I love the location. It's in the city and close to everything but doesn't have that busy, "city" vibe. The ladies in the office are great and always willing to help and the maintenance staff are friendly and take care of my work orders very quickly. I also really like that I can pay my rent and put maintenance requests in online. I pay all my other bills online and here I can even pay my rent online.... All around it's a great place to live! I love it here!!! Read More

I have lived here at Turtle Lake Apartments for over a year now for school. For being nearly directly across the street from Gulf Coast State College, the rent is reasonable. The 2B2B is spacious and well laid out. The walkway in front of the apartments of building D does tend to flood during really rainy days, but it doesn't stand for more than a few hours. Maintenance issues are resolved within the hour usually, the the maintenance guys here are A
