About this property

Beachfront home with outdoor shower, 2 decks, central AC, & W/D - dogs ok

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
With an oceanfront locale and a private walkway to the beach, this home makes it easy to unwind into vacation mode. After days stretched out in the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and cozy up on one of the two spacious balconies. Listen to the sound of the ocean waves while you sip beverages at the picnic table or additional seating areas.

Kick back with a vacation read in the living room or watch favorite shows on one of the home's five TVs. The well-equipped kitchen features everything you need to prepare family-style meals. When it's time to eat, gather at the large dining table. Large windows invite in picturesque views throughout.

Great location!

This was the perfect house for our family to unplug and unwind from the busyness of life. Beach toys were onsite. Minus 1 star only because there was no grill on site. There’s nothing better than grilling at the beach.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul, 2025
Hi Mary. Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so happy to hear that the house provided a relaxing space for your family to unplug and unwind, and that the beach toys were a helpful touch. We understand how nice it is to grill during a beach getaway and appreciate your feedback. We'll share this with the team as we’re always looking for ways to enhance the experience. We look forward to having you again in the future.

Nice beach home

Location was perfect. Amenities were good. Everything was comfortable. Ants were a big problem. They were everywhere and in everything. Other than that, a few things in need of repair, but the location again was excellent. Walk right out into the beach. Not very crowded nearby.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jul, 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us, Adam. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the perfect location and the comfortable amenities, as well as the peaceful beach nearby. However, we're truly sorry to learn about the ant issue and the maintenance concerns you experienced during your stay. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests. Please know that we take these matters seriously and will be addressing them with our local team to ensure improvements are made. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better stay in the future.

The Turtle Shell is a wonderfully relaxing property. It is a great location, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and everything you need for a week at the beach. It is clear that the property owner cares.

Great location and the house is comfortable, the beach is a short walk. The ANTS are a daily struggle. We had to put everything in plastic.

The property was excellent, clean and quiet. Quick access to beach with great views from both decks. We had a couple minor household issues upon arrival and vacasa took care of them quickly, in the same day. Thanks to Chris Bolt for taking care of the electrical issues we had.

Great Place!

I have to say that we enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, the mattresses were comfortable, and the view was perfect. There were no ants or any bug for that matter. I am disabled and going down on the beach was very easy for me, minus the steps. I would love to stay here again, but the pricing has gone up and I won’t be able to afford it. The only thing that the house needs is a new set of pots and pans. Don’t pass this place up, you will lose be your stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you liked our home overall. However, we sincerely apologize for the ant problem you encountered during your stay.

Worth it.

This home had everything we needed for a great vacation. Plenty of space and amenities with direct beach access. Not far from Sneads Ferry if you were to need supplies. Pier is within viewing and walking distance, public park and ice cream within 1.5 miles. Yes there were ants outside but as long as we kept things cleaned up, they remained outside and away from the vehicles. Totally worth it...we would rent again. Vacasa made it easy for us every step of the way.

The house was great. Very disappointed in the amount of ants in the house and outside of the house. My husband had to spend his money to buy chemicals to spray inside and out. The manager said they were sending a professional to spray, but no one showed up and said they did. Ants also got into our vehicles.

Old Friends Beach Trip

We had a good time even with all the things wrong with the house ie. poor housekeeping, could not use the keypad for entry-it did not work so had to leave another door unlocked for the week. Scary. An ice machine that went bonkers off and on day and night. Plus an ant invasion inside and out.
