Beautiful views
Nice house with wonderful views. Could use some maintenance. Window blind in bunk room was broken. Dryer vent was clogged. Oven did not heat properly. Only 1/2 of toaster worked. The sliding doors on the beach side did not lock well and leaked when it stormed. And some of the slats on the deck are loose. The queen size beds felt more like double beds. Even though, we had a wonderful stay and would stay here again. Loved the location and lots of space.

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.

Relaxing
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.

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.

Too many ants
I would have given a 5, but you got -1 for the colony of ants I had to share it with. Ants in the silverware draw, in the dishwasher after running(cooled down), crawling on you when you sit on the sofa, and at times in beds. Did not get the checkin info when suppose to. Had to call your 800 number with a 20 min conversation to get what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. Layout of top floor very good.
