We usually stay at Olde Towne but were thrilled with this new addition to Radio Island. This property is beautiful and we had everything we needed and more. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Everything was exactly as advertised! Beautiful and clean house, and the owners went above and beyond to help me out with my boating situation! Will definitely be staying there again!!
We had a perfect vacation! The Sandy Turtle was perfect for our family and we could not ask for a better location for our boat. Our host was most accomodating and house was clean, organized and had everything a guest could need. Highly recommend!
Beautifully appointed and comfortable place to stay. We ran our boat down from Kitty Hawk NC and stayed for the week. The boat lift was out of the Tayors creek current and made for easy in and out. We boated everyday. It was a real treat to come back to a clean cool place overlooking the water. The pool was a great way to end the day. Amazing all the way around. Thank you Susy.
Boated 4 of 6 days. Absolutely fabulous. This location is ideal for boaters. Quick easy access to Beaufort inlet and all places you’d want to go from there. Community was quiet and friendly
The house was very nice with numerous amenities along with an elevator that came I. Handy with my elderly parents. The unit is top notch with a great view and dock location. My main issue that I was displeased with was the thermostat. It was advertised at 68/70 but stayed at 72/74 with us monitoring the doors really restrictive. There was great response during the money transfer and unit requirements but when I requested help with the settings - it went radio silent. That is just a minor fix on somthing that costs several hundred a night - let me sleep cool instead of baking.

I apologize for the AC not working properly. Unfortunately I did not see your message message. At this point all I can say is we are very sorry and for your discomfort I will refund you $250 through Vrbo
We have had a tech come out and found an issue with the mini split. We have been rented most of the summer and had not had any issues or complaints.
Give me a day or two to figure out how to refund you. If I can't figure it out, I can mail you a check or ----------- y
