LOVED this place
We loved staying here. The way the house is laid is great, we weren't on top of each other and was able to spread out. I love that it is dog friendly. This is where we will stay next time we book! We had adults, and four teenagers, and we all had such a great time at this house.

Easter weekend
When we first arrived there was an odor in the house probably just for it being closed up. I assumed from the photos that the house was a newer house but it is definitely an older house. There was some areas that needed to be repaired or repainted. I should warn you that there is a sand flea problem in the yard as I received 1 million bites sitting in a chair there. So be prepared for that. Most of the things outside were not in good condition or didn’t have all the pieces. We were missing bags and washers from both the corn hole and the washer set. The person before us or the cleaning crew had left trash downstairs underneath the bar and a complete mess and disarray of all The kids stuff downstairs.
On a good note the beds were comfortable and our family had a great time regardless. The location was great. We enjoyed the extra effort on things like coffee trash bags, plenty of towels. It’s also a very spacious house that gives you room for your family.

Quick beach trip
My 17 yr old wanted a beach birthday with a few of her friends. This house was perfect. The amount of space, location and cleanliness exceeded my expectations. We had so much fun on our quick trip. It was so hard to come home.

Beach Getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It's in a great location and I loved the kitchen area. Ms. Minda was easy to communicate with and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had.

A Relaxing Memorial Weekend
We had a very relaxing Memorial Weekend. The house is conveniently located just a few minutes from the beach. Even with the holiday weekend crowd, we felt comfortable and private. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the balcony, playing cornhole, and fishing in the canal located behind the house. The house itself is spacious, had plenty of room for a family of six, well lit, and very well kept.
We definitely recommend staying at the Turtle Nest and we would look forward to staying there again!

Great beach house
Upon arrival and speaking to Minda, she was super sweet and great on answering questions quickly. After arriving the house was even prettier in person. Any issue we had was resolved quickly. We had some family up for my sons birthday and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and catch up. Definitely have recommended this home to everyone. It was within 3 minutes walk to the beach, and about 30 seconds on golf cart. Right in the middle of the stores and gas stations in case you forgot stuff like me. Highly recommend staying here for whatever the occasion is!
