It’s a great spot right on the beach, perfect for a small family that what’s to avoid trekking back and forth between the house and the beach.

The condo was perfect! Beautiful beach and ocean views along with comfy living and bed space. Nice tvs in living room and bedroom, ample room for a couple. Quiet evenings with the perfect beach access for evening walks as well as going out during the day. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Parking was great and condo is located so nice to go eat or shop easily.

Where to begin, this place was awesome! For two people this was a perfect rental. The place itself was super clean and had a nice beachy vibe to it. The back deck with a breath taking view of the ocean that also has a gate with direct beach access. There is also a foot wash on the boardwalk from the beach to the deck to clean you and your belongings before heading back in. The welcome gifts were also amazing and we couldn’t thank Gene and his wife more for everything they provided for us! This is a 10/10 recommendation!

Very clean, tidy, and well equipped. We really enjoyed the closeness to the sand and the walkway to the ocean was very nice to have. Gene is very responsive and provides clear instructions for check in and check out. The stemless wine glasses his wife makes for souvenirs are a very nice surprise! We will definitely be coming back to Turtle Tides for a longer stay.

Great place. worth the money. Host was fantastic. Only thing I could say that needs help is the deck is old and needs the nails pounded back down. one board was split (when we got there) and not comfortable to walk on bare foot. but sitting out there in the chairs watching the ocean. wonderful. room was well done and spacious. great location. Loved our stay

We had a fantastic day at this beautiful, remodeled, oceanfront condo! There’s really nothing not to like about Turtle Cove. Everything is fresh and clean, the kitchen has everything you need to do some cooking, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and I’d have to say sitting out on the deck overlooking the ocean, enjoying coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night we’re highlights of our day. Also, very easy access on the recently renovated walkway to the beach.The owner was great about communication, and was there to help us when we did have a couple of minor issues. The only thing to be aware of is there are two flights of steps up to the condo and then another flight of steps once you’re in the condo. A little challenging, but definitely worth it, especially because you have an amazing view from the condo!Thank you again Gene!
