Our stay was good. Location, location, location. This location is perfect for beach goers. The hosts were very easy/fast to respond to any questions. A few things to others looking at this property. It is not a well stocked property. Very basic. No replacement of paper products. (it does state that in the description) Bring everything you expect to use. There were two chairs, and some sand toys. I did ask the host about beach things so we didn't have to bring, and was told they don't advertise beach equipment so whatever is there is ok to use. Being several steps from the beach you would want your guests to enjoy the beach comfortably. The house was clean but a bit dated. Refrigerator makes a lot of noise. Some maintenance besides cleaning duties that the cleaners would do need some attention. (broken wall decor, outside area needs some upkeep attention) There is a great inside patio area, but not really usable. The air conditioner that is in this area is very old, and to small for the area. This is a pet friendly property which we enjoyed. It is fenced in so you do not have to worry about having your dog outside, but note, there is no grass, so you will still probably need to walk pets. Please don't get me wrong, we did enjoy our stay but wanted inform others of our experience.

Perfect Quiet Get Away

This beach cottage is just what the doctor ordered. Spacious and comfortable. All you need in a home away from your own. Clean. Great gathering spaces inside and out. Close enough to the trolley stop! Super close to the beach! They added an extra touch with providing SOJO amenities for the kitchen & bathroom. Fenced in yard for our pets! what a plus!!

AMI One-Story

This property is in a great location close to beach, but quiet nrighborhood), it’s very spacious, and was quite comfortable. The unit is one story and has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. It has a laundry room, large kitchen area and sun porch, and a small yard. Lots of positive, few negatives. I would suggest adding power strips and blackout shades in bedrooms. Better instructions on using TV (with and without apps) would be helpful. Also, colored strips on the steps up to the sun porch and from the porch to inside, might lessen the chance of tripping (I tripped over both).I recommend and would stay here again.

Comfortable ‘clean place

The Happy Turtle suited our needs of a clean, comfortable rental close to the beach. Communication was easy,and Alex was quick to respond. Beds were comfortable, and place was spacious and equipped with most everything we needed. The four season porch that was lovely, could not be used by us, because of the smell of mildew. I’m sure it was related to the hurricane, so we were sympathetic, but sure would have been a great room to utilize while we were there.Also, know your tv passwords for your apps. Any station you want to access needs a log in, with the exception of Pluto.The location really was steps from the beach!

I want to give a bad review, but in good conscious I cannot.

I really want to give this the worst review possible because I do not want this hidden gem to explode in popularity. The unit had everything you could ever want or ask for and the owner truly was great with meeting almost every possible detail you can think of for a beach house stay. Truly an amazing place that I will only refer my dearest friends and family to stay there.

Short walk to beach!

Overall great spot, plenty of room and space for our family. Came with beach gear and the trolley was a major plus. Only downside was we had trouble with the a/c, it seemed to be on a schedule and temp would rise in the middle of the night and was not ideal for sleeping conditions. Also beds need an update, terribly uncomfortable. Location cant be beat!

Amazing Location

This rental was just about the best location possible and a great price. I love the super short 1 block walk to the beach. I found that this side of the duplex was well worth the small difference in price.I love that I had a private entry and back patio, both closed off and spacious. Having the laundry and extra bathroom made the trip with my mom, husband and kids manageable. I felt that there was plenty of room in the house. An extra dresser would be nice but I made do. This property had amenities I did not expect such as trash bags, dishwasher detergent, and even some beach gear. Keep in mind that this property does not have an oven but only a cooktop. There is a toaster oven and a convection microwave (not sure how it worked as an oven). A crockpot might be a nice item to have. No place is perfect including this one. A few things that were not up to par include: the shower- the hot water runs out very quickly and there is need for a new shower head and repair to the spout. Refrigerator- while this appliance work well, it is missing most of the door shelving which make storage tricky. Mattresses- this is a common issue when not at home but the beds in this house will be the only part of your trip that you will not miss. All in all the pros of this house outweigh the cons! This is a delightful and affordable get away that you won't regret booking!
