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

Exceptional Value!!!

My stay was just for me in this exceptional beautiful home! Just needed time away from my busy life and I found the perfect retreat! The home is beautifully decorated and perfect for families or groups looking for a wonderful and peaceful place to stay. The outdoor hot tub was simply perfect for the beautiful sunrise and sunsets and early morning coffee! Pristine and serene area with great privacy. I loved my stay, the best night sleep I had in months!!! I would definitely book again!
