Girls getaway
Posted Oct. 7, 2024 on HomeAway2 story home just minutes from the beach has everything you would need especially if you have children. The beach entrance had a shower for public use. Plenty of room upstairs and the porch with the swings was nice place to relax. Only down fall was the car wash next door can see you swingin. The yard had a 8ft solid fence to the back yard for privacy. Nice neighborhood to take a walk or bike. Harris Teeters across the street! I’d stay there again!

Another Excellent Stay
Posted Sep. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayThis place has it all for families. All the beach stuff you need and more. We always have a great stay and will definitely be back again. Quick walk to the beach and local restaurants. Short drive to tons of activities.

Third time was a charm!👍
Posted Sep. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was a (now annual) sister vacation. This was our third year at Turtle Shell, and God willing, we’ll be back for more! We usually eat out most of the time, we don’t utilize all there is to offer, mainly the toaster oven and microwave.😂 this place is very well stocked for anything you could want. Convenient location, very clean and walking distance to the ocean. Highly recommend!👍

They tried to think of it all
Posted Sep. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThey had everything including kids bikes and a push stroller/bike. They provided detailed information about the area. Even the cabinets were labeled to help you find things more easily. They tried hard to make sure you're comfortable. The only thing you need to keep in mind is there is no indoor access from the upper level to the garage/lower level. So you need to prepare to do laundry on a non rainy day or that the person that will sleep in the lower level is able to come up the outdoor steps alone, if they need to come up at night. Great, quiet location. One of the cleanest rentals we've visited.

Turtle Shell Cottage
Posted Sep. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a fantastic stay at the Turtle Shell Cottage! The house has so many amenities and tons of toys and games..perfect for our kids (8,6,4) who enjoyed the house as much as the beach. Great location close just a short walk to the beach and next to lots of restaurants, stores and right next to an ice cream shop! Great communication with the owners who are so friendly. We hope to come back!

Excellent Family Friendly House
Posted Jul. 11, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful week at the Turtle Shell Property with our family. We have 3 little ones and could not have picked a better property for this. The child proofing options around the house and kids toys/books and beach toys were so helpful to have access to! We also enjoyed the activity space in the garage for hanging out in between beach time. Everything was very clean and as described, and Terry and Russell are excellent at communicating throughout the stay! The walk to the beach with kiddos was very short and convenient, and so easy with the beach carts provided at the house. A few reviews mentioned the car wash next door, but with the privacy fence, we had zero issues with that. The location was great being across the street from the grocery store, and walking distance to an ice cream shop and grill on the same side of the road. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this wholeheartedly for future vacations!

Family vaca
Posted Jun. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayThe property was fine for our needs. The lower level had a strong musty odor. That may be the age of the property. The house is located next to a loud car wash.

We try to provide a clean, comfortable and relaxing space with more than just the “4 walls and some furniture”. So glad you enjoyed all the amenities and activities during your stay. Yes, occasionally when the humidity is really high the enclosed garage can have a slight smell….but, it is a garage. The car wash has been there for a couple of years now and I don’t remember any complaints except during the construction. Thanks so much for the 4 star review. There must have been a few things that you enjoyed about your stay. Best wishes for your future travels.
