Family Getaway
Great location! Beach access directly across the way. Could not use your canopies and cannot use wagons because of the stairs to get to beach, BUT with quick access we did not need them. The rental comes with beach chair/umbrella rentals each day. Gated community so very quiet! You could walk to shops/restaurants in just a few minutes! The front area and side could use a little cleaning, overgrown. But overall very pleased with rental and location!

Great location
The property was so close to everything including the beach. Spacious enough for two large families. Pool was nice but you feel pretty exposed to neighbors. Property have some wear and utility issues but was taken care of quickly. Thanks for the great memories.

Beautiful home in excellent location
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Topsy Turtle. The home was bright and airy. The location was steps from the white sand beach and close to great restaurants and stores. The neighborhood was quiet. The heated pool was a great asset due to a few chilly days.

Nice place, good location, but under constant surveillance
Place was nice and the location was great. Didn’t care for the roaches and the over bearing owner and property management. We had seven of us there. Two adults and 5 teens. Felt borderline harassed on multiple occasions. Cooked a couple pots of pasta on a hot afternoon and got complaints from “owners” that place was too hot inside. Only parked in the designated driveway and got complaints about someone else parking a long street. Got false noise complaint from management company. Everyone in our house was in bed and asleep, while neighbors had a driveway/ street party until 3 am, but some how we got blamed??Neighbors kids were screaming in the streets at 6 am every morning, however, didn’t seem to a problem.
Had roaches crawling on walls and floors. I have pics and video.
Would have been willing to overlook a lot due to location of house,, but being harassed daily by owner and management company is real turn off.
