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.

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.

With the two (2) beach carts we provide (so you don't feel like a "pack-mule") it is an easy walk. There is also FREE parking at this handy beach access if you don't want the exercise. It is a 4-5 minute walk as described in the website description. We do provide lots of extras (sheets, bath towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, bikes, etc.) so you don't have to rent them or pack your vehicle so tight. Many other wonderful items are at the TURTLE SHELL for your enjoyment. Come and see for yourself!
