Overall, the stay was great. There were a few things that I would have liked to been better but nothing to complain about. My family and I enjoyed the house and location.

Location was great in reference to proximity of the beach and things to do in the area. Only downside was the yard for animals is more to the side and not directly out the back doors. Be careful with small pets as they can slip through the fencing to get to the yard portion. Otherwise it’s a great house to stay in.

Safe Travels!

We stayed 5 days and I would highly recommend Turtle Hut. The home was very clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. Communication was excellent and very prompt. The location is conveniently located for a variety of restaurants. You will not be disappointed if you select Turtle Hut.

Happy New Year!

The home was in a perfect location, and we ended up walking miles every day. The house was cute and worked perfectly for us. You just can't beat the beauty of the area but Mother Nature was not as generous with warm weather as I had hoped. Staying two months would have been the answer to that issue.

The house worked out great for our Christmas visit. Could use some shades/blinds in the bedrooms. But everything else worked out great.

This property was spotless on arrival and communication and check in were excellent. The house was larger than I thought it would be and it was very comfortable. However, because of the location on an extremely busy street and intersection, the traffic noise was very loud. Also the nextdoor neighbors decided to have a party at 2:30 a.m. on the first two nights of our arrival. Lastly, the backyard was disappointing. The pictures show adirondack chairs around a firepit. While the firepit was there, there was absolutely no seating in the backyard. I really wanted to give this rental five stars, but with the noise and the disappointing backyard, I can only give it 3.5.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for the kind words about the cleanliness, communication, check-in process, size, and comfort of the home. We’re glad those aspects of your stay met your expectations.
We do note in our listing that the property sits on a busy street (especially at certain times of day), which is why we provide the side parking area to help minimize any related inconvenience.
Regarding the late-night noise from neighbors, we wish you had reached out during your stay so we could have assisted. We are located on a corner, and our only adjacent neighbor lives off the side street and has been there for over 30 years—we have not known them to host late parties. The City of Jacksonville Beach does enforce quiet hours, and we would have been happy to help address the situation at the time.
As for the Adirondack chairs, they are stored in the garage to protect them from summer weather, storms, and sun damage. They are lightweight and easy to move into the yard for use around the firepit. We would have gladly guided you on this (or any other questions) had you contacted us during your stay.
We appreciate you choosing Turtle Hut and hope future guests will reach out promptly so we can ensure every detail is addressed in real time.
Thanks so much!

The owners were very responsive, the house had everything we needed. Our only gripe was the thin curtains in the bedrooms because we like to sleep in the dark. But everything else was great! Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet your expectations. Our beach house consistently receives great reviews, including the guests immediately before and after your reservation giving us 5 stars.
The home was professionally cleaned and ready by 3:45pm (standard check-in is 4pm). Detailed arrival instructions were sent the evening before. The fenced yard and firepit are regularly maintained, though occasional spiders and webs are common in a beach environment.
We’re always happy to assist during stays. Wishing you better experiences on future trips!
Thanks!
