What a lovely spot for a getaway! The hosts thought of everything you might need for a comfy stay. The Turtle Cove Spa was a treat! We will be back again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The unit was really nice and the kitchen was the best stocked of any we've ever stayed in. When traveling as a family of 7 we tend to make a lot of our meals in. The roughest part is the driveway to the condo. Be prepared to arrive in daylight the first time as there are lots of turns in the road and the final decent into the parking spot is really steep. The views and hiking trails more than make up for that!
