Turtle Shell Cottage

We had a fantastic stay at the Turtle Shell Cottage! The house has so many amenities and tons of toys and games..perfect for our kids (8,6,4) who enjoyed the house as much as the beach. Great location close just a short walk to the beach and next to lots of restaurants, stores and right next to an ice cream shop! Great communication with the owners who are so friendly. We hope to come back!

Third time was a charm!👍

This was a (now annual) sister vacation. This was our third year at Turtle Shell, and God willing, we’ll be back for more! We usually eat out most of the time, we don’t utilize all there is to offer, mainly the toaster oven and microwave.😂 this place is very well stocked for anything you could want. Convenient location, very clean and walking distance to the ocean. Highly recommend!👍

Girls getaway

2 story home just minutes from the beach has everything you would need especially if you have children. The beach entrance had a shower for public use. Plenty of room upstairs and the porch with the swings was nice place to relax. Only down fall was the car wash next door can see you swingin. The yard had a 8ft solid fence to the back yard for privacy. Nice neighborhood to take a walk or bike. Harris Teeters across the street! I’d stay there again!

We Loved the Turtle Shell Cottage

We could not have been happier with the cottage. My whole family loved the property and all the extra amenities that came with. This place literally has everything you need to come and stay. All you need is groceries to fill the fridge. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. I loved the bed linens and the towels were wonderful. I highly recommend this cottage for any kind of vacation stay. We will definitely be rebooking.

Perfect Vacation Spot for our Family with Children with Special Needs

Wonderful property and had everything that we needed to feel safe with our family who has two children with special needs. It was a short walk to the beach and we were surrounded by plenty of activities in the area. Rooms had everything in them to enjoy our stay and we felt right at home.

Family Vacay

Enjoyed our short stay at this beach home. Great location despite the car wash next door which could be a little noisy at times. The owner was very good at communicating when we had any questions or concerns. I would recommend this property for small families for a quick getaway.

Very clean and great location!

We enjoyed our short weekend stay especially the convenient location. We were across the street from a Harris Teeter which made picking up dinner easy. Excellent restaurants close by as well. The property had great amenities including a ping pong table that the kids enjoyed. Easy walk to the beach too.
