Beachfront home with outdoor shower, 2 decks, central AC, & W/D - dogs ok
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests. With an oceanfront locale and a private walkway to the beach, this home makes it easy to unwind into vacation mode. After days stretched out in the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and cozy up on one of the two spacious balconies. Listen to the sound of the ocean waves while you sip beverages at the picnic table or additional seating areas.
Kick back with a vacation read in the living room or watch favorite shows on one of the home's five TVs. The well-equipped kitchen features everything you need to prepare family-style meals. When it's time to eat, gather at the large dining table. Large windows invite in picturesque views throughout.

The Turtle Shell is a wonderfully relaxing property. It is a great location, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and everything you need for a week at the beach. It is clear that the property owner cares.

Wonderful accommodation
Don’t let the drab exterior undermine the beautiful interior. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thanks for accommodating our 3 dogs. Love the pain free checking out process. Thanks

The property was excellent, clean and quiet. Quick access to beach with great views from both decks. We had a couple minor household issues upon arrival and vacasa took care of them quickly, in the same day. Thanks to Chris Bolt for taking care of the electrical issues we had.
I have to say that we enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, the mattresses were comfortable, and the view was perfect. There were no ants or any bug for that matter. I am disabled and going down on the beach was very easy for me, minus the steps. I would love to stay here again, but the pricing has gone up and I won’t be able to afford it. The only thing that the house needs is a new set of pots and pans. Don’t pass this place up, you will lose be your stay.

Worth it.
This home had everything we needed for a great vacation. Plenty of space and amenities with direct beach access. Not far from Sneads Ferry if you were to need supplies. Pier is within viewing and walking distance, public park and ice cream within 1.5 miles.
Yes there were ants outside but as long as we kept things cleaned up, they remained outside and away from the vehicles. Totally worth it...we would rent again.
Vacasa made it easy for us every step of the way.
Nice house with wonderful views. Could use some maintenance. Window blind in bunk room was broken. Dryer vent was clogged. Oven did not heat properly. Only 1/2 of toaster worked. The sliding doors on the beach side did not lock well and leaked when it stormed. And some of the slats on the deck are loose. The queen size beds felt more like double beds. Even though, we had a wonderful stay and would stay here again. Loved the location and lots of space.

Too many ants
I would have given a 5, but you got -1 for the colony of ants I had to share it with. Ants in the silverware draw, in the dishwasher after running(cooled down), crawling on you when you sit on the sofa, and at times in beds. Did not get the checkin info when suppose to. Had to call your 800 number with a 20 min conversation to get what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. Layout of top floor very good.
Fantastic house in a great location if you are looking for a non-commercial, non-tourist'y' area. Very enjoyable with great beach access and property location.

Great location!
This was the perfect house for our family to unplug and unwind from the busyness of life. Beach toys were onsite. Minus 1 star only because there was no grill on site. There’s nothing better than grilling at the beach.

Nice beach home
Location was perfect. Amenities were good. Everything was comfortable. Ants were a big problem. They were everywhere and in everything. Other than that, a few things in need of repair, but the location again was excellent. Walk right out into the beach. Not very crowded nearby.

Ants everywhere
Great location and the house is comfortable, the beach is a short walk. The ANTS are a daily struggle. We had to put everything in plastic.
We loved the layout of this house. The top deck furniture is probably the reason we will return. We spent most of our time enjoying the ocean from the top deck
