We had a wonderful stay at the Turtle House. It's lovely- the pictures don't do it justice. We loved the big windows for watching rainstorms. We were surrounded by so much beautiful greenery! We brought our two dogs and they had a blast exploring the property, running around the huge yard, and investigating the sounds and smells of the local wildlife. Dian was out of town so her friend (I'm blanking on her name) met us there when we got in and was very helpful and nice. The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed, as was the laundry area. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and it's a very quick drive to downtown Ocean Springs.

Two little things are keeping me from giving the Turtle House 5 stars- we found the house to be a bit smelly (probably from all the pets that stayed there in the past, plus whatever products they used to cover the smells), so we ended up buying a few scented candles to keep lit around the house, and that did the trick. The other thing was one night I got out of bed to go change the thermostat, and the bedroom door wouldn't open! It was pretty nerve racking- after maybe 5 minutes (max), my husband was able to get it open. I'm sure Dian will see this and fix the door so it won't happen to you! :)

I would definitely recommend the Turtle House to anyone looking for a cozy unique place to stay in Ocean Springs- ESPECIALLY if you have dogs!
