We had a wonderful stay! The home was exceptionally clean, spacious, and exactly as described. As a family of five, we had plenty of room to spread out and relax, and the layout worked perfectly for us. Everything was well-maintained and stocked with the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was great, and the hosts made the entire process easy and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families looking for a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly vacation rental.

We were so happy with the condo! It was very clean, spacious, and well equipped. The beach chairs and wagon were an excellent feature. The tram service was great! It was nice to have access to the bathroom area while enjoying the beach. Pool was large and located very close to our condo, which made it easy to check on our dog. The area was family and pet friendly too. Condo is located close to shopping and restaurants. We have no complaints. Our family had an excellent vacation and I would highly recommend this condo.

Absolutely love this place!

We have travelled to Miramar Beach for 5 years and this house tops as our favorite! The location is amazing - across the street from the large pool and a short walk to the beach (less than 5 minutes). The decor is great, hospitable and flow of the house delightful. We never felt like we were cramped. Kitchen fully stocked with supplies (we cooked a lot) and the week flew by. This place felt like a true home away from home. We will be back!

Loved it!

It was a perfect fit for our family: 2 parents, five adult children, and a small dog. We appreciated the outdoor patio, proximity to the beach and pool, the beach wagon with accessories, and the beach facilities for Emerald Shores. We had a very attentive maintenance team who immediately came to check on us when the temperature rose to the mid-70’s, even though it was just our daughter who had turned up the thermostat. Shuttle access to the beach was prompt although we enjoyed the short walk most of the time. Beds were comfortable, size and layout of the house perfect for us. Location for shopping great too. We definitely want to come back!

March Spring Break - fabulous!!

Property was directly across from the pool and just a brief walk to the beach. Easy to go either direction to get to food or activities. Property had great space indoors and outdoors to relax and converse and comes with a wagon, 2 boogie boards, and beach chairs for use. Will stay again!!

Home away from Home

It was very nice having a home away from home, in a beautiful and welcoming community. The pool across thebstreet isn't the neated one butbwas expretemly welcomkng to walk in. Its just a short 5 min walk to the beach and the attendent there is very helpful...you also have an option to purchase chair/umbrellas already set up at the beach but this rental does provide that and some pool noodles and sand toys. There is a nice Dollar General right next to the entrance which came in handy.There are only 2 things that I wish was better. First, the TV in the master bedroom has trouble connecting to the internet and when it does it struggles for streaming. Second, there is no full mirrors or even large mirror in the master bedroom. We had 2 official events to attend and it would have been nice to check our outfits instead of relying on each other to look it over.They had added little touches; nicely folded kitchen towels with soap and sponge, the bathroom toiletries, mode lighting for outdoor seating; really made all the difference. Even having some dryer sheets and wash pods for just incase was really nice (even though we didn't use the machines).If we are in town we will most definitely rent here again!

Clean & spacious in great neighborhood

Our family of four had a great Spring Break stay at Turquoise Turtle in April, 2025. The house was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Efficient heating and AC; appliances and door codes worked as expected. The house is right across from the larger pool which could be a little loud if outside, but not inside. We enjoyed the covered porch with the charcoal grill and the yard for throwing the baseball (many houses in the neighborhood have little or no yard). We used the beach wagon provided to tote our gear. Chairs and umbrella also available but we'd brought our own. It was about a six minute walk to the beach; the pavilion access with restrooms is convenient. The beach area isn't wide or deep but it's nice to have a reserved/private spot. The neighbors were friendly; it's a gated community so traffic is slow. Our kids rode their scooters often and felt safe. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, but no seasonings. The coffee pot is a Keurig w/K Cups or 8" basket filters. We recommend Skipper's take out for steamed snow crab & shrimp. Kenny D's was a great option for walking to a restaurant. Dollar General at end of the street had a decent grocery selection.

An amazing stay

The trip was amazing! The unit was so clean and comfortable, and it really felt like a home for the week. The patio space was so nice, and the outside shower and water hose area was so nice to wash off to help keep sand out from tracking in. The beds were very comfortable, and the location was amazing as well. We were located directly across the street from the pool, and just a short walk from the beach. The neighborhood was amazing too, as it felt very safe, and was full of people on their porches, riding bikes, or just walking around and enjoying the weather. We will 100% be coming back to stay again.
