Long Weekend Getaway
This property was exactly as it was shown in the listing and was perfect for our extended weekend away. Easy access to the beach, to stores, to the highway, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend and a way to close out our summer. So good that we are planning to return multiple times this coming year. Thanks for having us!

Great Place to Stay!
The porch and outside shower were really nice. The house supplied all of our needs and more. It was nice to have a second living/bedroom with a tv. We especially liked the close access to the beach without having to cross a highway. I would rent it again.

Family weekend getaway
Just what our family needed for a quick weekend away. The teen enjoyed having her own space in the second living area with tv and sofa. Elevator was a nice perk to bring our belongings up to the house.

Comfortable house
Turtle Shell is a lovely house for a weekend, clean and well located. The beach can get a bit crowded with trucks and golf cars.

Great property, perfect location
We spent what turned out to be a rather cold spring break here. The house was great and close enough to the beach for ease, but far enough to feel more secluded. It was clean with adequate amenities to cook basic meals. Enough room to not argue over what to watch on TV and some fun games to play. We definitely recommend renting the golf cart, it was great to drive on the beach. Also highly recommend Jose's Cantina for dinner!

Amazing Stay
We had a blast at the Turtle Shell! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We rented a golf cart (I recommend everyone do that, it was a BLAST) it was close to the beach, close to stores, and we even found a local restaurant to eat at our last night. Thank you so much again, we can't wait to get back!
