We had a great time at the Blue Turtle. The house and pool were incredibly well stocked with pretty much everything we needed. Andrew and Mary do a great job of making sure little things are taken care of like stocking the bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and even having each closet stocked with fluffy robes (including kid sized ones!). There are also plenty of towels, we always go through a lot when at the beach.
My kids loved the pool and the water slide, and all the little pool toys that they have. The beach was a short walk away (usually about 8 minutes), or you could drive over, but we always walked. There were plenty of chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and beach toys for the kids, and the outdoor shower was perfect for de-sanding after our trip.
Mary and Andy were incredibly responsive and kind, and made sure to make our whole family feel welcome. They quickly answered any questions we had, and made sure that check-in went smoothly. We had one small issue where a toilet lever broke in one of the bathrooms one evening, we notified them that evening, they texted right back to say they would be by the next morning. The next morning Andy texted again to ask if now was a good time for him to stop by, and got everything all squared away for us.
If we come back to the Outer Banks, we would definitely book the Blue Turtle again.
