Good beach house!
My family and I loved this beach house. Good amenities and location. Pet friendly, had inclusions. Spacious and is made for spending time with family. I liked how the area was quiet and not too far from the beach or shops. Very clean and beautiful. The only issue was the echoing and how you can hear EVERYTHING, then the directions to get to the house itself. However, my family and friends felt at home.

Great Cottage at Orange Beach
The cottage was clean and well cared for. They cleaned the pool everyday. The short walk to the beach was great. Beach chairs and toys provided. Bring your own beach towels. We loved the many bike trails through Gulf State Park which are very close to the property.

This location is perfect! The house was immaculately clean and prettier than even the pictures show. The pool is so conveniently located and the beach and even some restaurants are a very short walk away. We will be repeat guests for sure!

Orange Beach Getaway
We enjoyed our 10 day vacay at the Turquoise Turtle! The beach cottage is absolutely beautiful. We appreciated the use of space/storage options from good sized closets, dressers and baskets. The kitchen was well stocked with quality utensils and cookware. There are sand toys, chairs and a wagon which is super nice. There are very minor things we would love to see added which are: more towels, a full size ironing board and higher quality king size sheets. There were 6 of us staying in the house and we had 1 set of towels per person. We believe in reusing our towels but being at the beach/pools all day meant washing more often than we’d like on vacation. We did request more towel sets and we were given more body towels. I think adding more sets would do the trick! Also we wanted to pack light and needed to iron the clothes we brought with us for a nice dinner and family pics so a full size ironing board would have been helpful. The beds were very comfortable, the only issue is the sheets would often pop off the mattress. Again these are minor things and would not keep us from coming back. The pool is a few steps from the front door. The walk to the beach is easy as there is a crosswalk right in front of the property. Restaurants, shops and entertainment are close by as well. Again we loved our stay and are already talking about our next visit! If we didn’t have prior commitments/school starting, we would have asked for a few more days. Thank you for sharing your home!!!

Great home
This is a great house for a family of 5. The house was clean upon arrival. The pool is steps from your front door and the beach is across the street and easy to get to. The house had beach chairs umbrellas wagon and various beach toys. Bring your own beach towels cleaning supplies/trash bags. There are several ring cameras on the property which would allow the subscriber to listen to your outside conversations and know your coming and goings. I would definitely stay here again!
