Being right on the beach was amazing! Kitchen was very very nice! The updates to the home were great and it was very convenient to have laundry available. We would love to stay here again!
Turtle Time exceeded our expectations for our family vacation! The house was comfortable and located in a great spot for access to the ocean as well as activities with a short walk or drive. We were thankful for the well-stocked kitchen supplies so we could make some easy meals at home after time on the beach. Thank you for a beautiful stay! We can't wait to return!

Perfect Family Vacation
Our family vacation at Turtle Time on Oak Island was better than we could have imagined! We were so thankful for the comfortable home and ideal location for beach and town activities! The home is just as you see in the listing photos but the sound of the waves and ocean breeze while you sit on the back porch made it better than we could have ever imagined. We hope to visit again very soon!

Great time
We had a mom’s weekend away and the place was great for what we needed. Loved the location and walkability to the beach. The house could have been cleaned better, the code to the front door was really long and the ice maker was frozen solid so we couldn’t get ice from it. Would love to come back.

Hello Brianna,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the great location and the easy walk to the beach—those are truly special aspects of the area!
At the same time, I’m very sorry to learn about the concerns you experienced with the cleanliness, the lengthy front door code, and the frozen ice maker. That’s certainly not the seamless stay we aim to provide, and I completely understand how these issues could impact your experience.
Please know that we’re here to assist you during your stay and would be happy to help resolve any concerns as quickly as possible if these were reported at that time. Your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us.
We truly appreciate you choosing our home and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience.

Hello Kathy, thank you for sharing your experience with us; we appreciate your honest feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the updated kitchen, great location, and that there were plenty of towels and sheets for your group. I apologize that you experienced several issues during your stay, I understand how that can be disappointing. I reviewed the maintenance report outlining all the interactions you had with our team, and am glad they addressed them promptly. I regret that we didn’t fully meet your expectations this time. We’d love the opportunity to host you again and provide a much better experience in the future.
I have been coming to Oak Island and Holden Beach for years now, and this is easily the loveliest place I'd stayed at. There were little things here and there that could be fixed, but all in all, the house was great beautiful, right on the beach, close to the grocery stores. Definitely a favorite.

Great beach cottage!
Such a great beach place! It was perfect for our family. It was super clean, easy ocean access, the deck is new, furniture is nice and beds comfortable! Recommend to anyone unless you need a new/gourmet kitchen. I’m already looking at when we can go back and rent Turtle Time again!
