We stayed 5 days and I would highly recommend Turtle Hut. The home was very clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. Communication was excellent and very prompt. The location is conveniently located for a variety of restaurants. You will not be disappointed if you select Turtle Hut.

The home was in a perfect location, and we ended up walking miles every day. The house was cute and worked perfectly for us. You just can't beat the beauty of the area but Mother Nature was not as generous with warm weather as I had hoped. Staying two months would have been the answer to that issue.

A nice vacation!
The owners were very responsive, the house had everything we needed. Our only gripe was the thin curtains in the bedrooms because we like to sleep in the dark. But everything else was great! Thank you!
