Important renters information

TURTLE NESTING SEASON:

Turtle season starts May 1 and ends October 31. Please help the Island House Beach Resort’s efforts toward being a turtle-friendly establishment by complying with County and State Law Ordinance #97-082:

1.     Close drapes after dark when interior lights are in use.

2.     Remove beach furniture and trash at night so it does not hinder migration to and from the water. Any objects left on the beach will be removed and disposed of once the sun has set.

3.     All beach chairs will be removed from the beach before sunset.

4.     Fill in holes that may entrap hatchlings on their way to the water and knock down sandcastles.

5.     Never approach nesting turtles or pick up hatchlings. If you find an unmarked nest, contact the Front Desk and we will contact the County. 

6.      For additional sea turtle information please reach out to helpingseaturtles.org.

7.      In the evenings, please use flashlights to enter and exit the beach.

8.     DO NOT DISTURB THE TURTLE NESTS IN ANY WAY! YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED
