The Turtle's Nest is a great house, we enjoyed our stay immensely. The large fenced yard was very nice; the hammock and outdoor furniture was great, and was a big plus for our two dogs. Beds were new and comfortable but old, flat pillows, living room and family room downstairs were nice. I felt that the only negative was the kitchen. The cooking utensils were minimal and very cheap, the pans were cheap and overall a frustrating experience. The toaster is old and took three times to toast a piece of bread. There's no colander, very poor cutting board (thin, floppy, plastic) and knives so dull you couldn't easily cut anything. Silver ware seems like from the Dollar Store. I bit more attention to this would be great. Otherwise, close to the Sound and beach (but you do have to cross busy highway). We had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
