My boyfriend and i had a very nice stay here at Turtle Tides ! although we stayed out of season, the property was clean and gorgeous and the views from the deck did not disappoint ! we had a little trouble getting in and Gene was very attentive and took the time to talk us through getting in quickly and kindly.

The property was beautiful, well decorated in adorable turtles, right on the ocean, very private balcony, beautiful views, fireplace. We had everything we needed. The owner communicated with us to make sure it was up to 5 star level and it was! Easy access. Perfect OBX location. We highly recommend this property. It was our first VRBO.

We thoroughly enjoyed this turtle-themed condo, even though our week coincided with wild Nor'easter winds and cloudy skies. The stormy views from the balcony were beautiful in their own way, and we did finally see two colorful sunrises. The location of this condo is very convenient--an easy drive to all parts of the Outer Banks, and grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants are all nearby. The condo's furnishings met all of our needs. Communication with the host before and during our stay was always prompt and informative.

Check in was super easy. The view was just as described. The minute we walked in we felt our tension slip away. The weather didn’t always cooperate but being able to watch the waves whenever we wanted more than made up for it. The condo was very clean and spacious with great access to many attractions!

Mental reset

Overall we had a great time. The condo was clean and beautiful. The front door was a little tricky but we got the hang of it. We brought our own sheets,pillows and towels so the cleaning staff shouldn't have too much trouble.

Although it was winter weather, the break from home was wonderful. By far, one of the easiest vacations I have ever taken! I would love to visit again in the summer time or early Fall.

Wonderful winter time get away

We had such a relaxing time staying at Turtle Tides. Nothing can beat the view and the sound of the ocean waves from the deck. The hosts had a lot of great information available for us - many great restaurant recommendations. Off season at the beach is so magical. I really enjoy the quiet time to reflect at the end of the year.
