Place was not cleaned appropriately not vacuumed, toothpaste stains I cleaned in sink, toilet paper empty on rolls, washer not cleaned out, dishes in dish washer, . The hot tub does not work and obviously by the sign has not worked for a long time as there was a sign on it saying not operating. There are nicks and scrapes all over the house the couches are patched with tape. The driveway has sediment was all over it and a tree was down over the sidewalk. The grill was decrepit with the front plate off and laying in the gravel. The lock did not work. We notified the host immediately and nothing no response until an autogenerated response said “I hope you are getting settled in…” Beds were excessively soft so if you need something in this universe that does not sleep like a hammock good luck. T or C made up for it and the clubhouse dinner and drinks were AWESOME! People are great there had a great time for my wife’s birthday.

Nice home!

Turtleback Oasis is a very nice, roomy home located in a quiet location close to the golf course. The fire pit in the back yard is perfect for early morning coffee and late evening visits and made our stay complete. We will be back to stay again!

Great House!

The house was clean, welcoming and comfortable. Great location in a nice golf course community we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I suggest adding more forks, we cooked during our stay and needed to wash dishes frequently to have clean forks. I highly recommend this property!

The house was lovely! The location was absolutely perfect! Beds were comfortable and it was very clean. The separate ice maker was AWESOME. For some reason, the hot water heater quit working the 2nd day...AFTER we came home from a LONG day at a golf tournament. When I finally figured out that I had a cell phone number to call, help was on the way! 2 of us took cold showers while waiting for the repairman to arrive. The repairman said he fixed the breaker that had tripped, and we were good to go...only to find out in the morning that we still had no hot water. Hopefully, it's an easy fix because we plan on booking the house next year as well. It's a GREAT rental!

Great modern and comfortable property. Great location.

Property was great, owner/manager was exceptionally communicative, clean, great, comfortable beds, and sheets, toiletries and towels were provided. Ice machine was definitely a plus considering you’re at the lake. Views are amazing and the location to the marina and the beaches was exceptionally close. About five minutes. Highly recommend this property.

Property was a 10 min walk to the golf course with a nice view from the backyard. It is very quiet and the shutters allowed for a dark room for sleeping. Best sleep I’ve had at a property in a long time! Nice soaking bathtub.

Great location for a golf outing

All went well, hot tub was a hit. Home was in decent shape, Toliet was broken in living area, BBQ grill was dirty and we ran out of propane but local representative for the property responded quickly. We would rent this property again. Thanks
