The house is clean, comfortable and well maintained. It has all that you need for a relaxing stay from amenities and appliances, to a large laundry room. There's lots of outdoor and indoor seating areas, including a spacious sun room/veranda.

Great property - perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay here. I loved that it was pet friendly and that my dogs had a fenced in area to be outside. It was a perfect size and amazing location. We had a great time!

Great little vacation house

The place is fantastic. Great location just blocks from a trolley stop and the beach. Quiet. Clean. Comfortable. Well stocked. Alex is an excellent host. Quick response to each and every inquiry, and offered some tasty suggestions for dinner. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation.

I want to give a bad review, but in good conscious I cannot.

I really want to give this the worst review possible because I do not want this hidden gem to explode in popularity. The unit had everything you could ever want or ask for and the owner truly was great with meeting almost every possible detail you can think of for a beach house stay. Truly an amazing place that I will only refer my dearest friends and family to stay there.

Cozy -close to beach

Our time there was awesome. Location is great. Closeness to the ocean perfect. Biggest issue was the internet. Because there is no cable tv, all entertainment comes through the internet. Had to reset the router and fire stick often. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

Short walk to beach!

Overall great spot, plenty of room and space for our family. Came with beach gear and the trolley was a major plus. Only downside was we had trouble with the a/c, it seemed to be on a schedule and temp would rise in the middle of the night and was not ideal for sleeping conditions. Also beds need an update, terribly uncomfortable. Location cant be beat!

Extremely pleased, had issue with air conditioning, owner came out personally and tried to fix it at 10:30pm. Had fixed the next morning. Really nice place, great experience. If visiting the area I'd say you should stay here.

Amazing Location

This rental was just about the best location possible and a great price. I love the super short 1 block walk to the beach. I found that this side of the duplex was well worth the small difference in price.I love that I had a private entry and back patio, both closed off and spacious. Having the laundry and extra bathroom made the trip with my mom, husband and kids manageable. I felt that there was plenty of room in the house. An extra dresser would be nice but I made do. This property had amenities I did not expect such as trash bags, dishwasher detergent, and even some beach gear. Keep in mind that this property does not have an oven but only a cooktop. There is a toaster oven and a convection microwave (not sure how it worked as an oven). A crockpot might be a nice item to have. No place is perfect including this one. A few things that were not up to par include: the shower- the hot water runs out very quickly and there is need for a new shower head and repair to the spout. Refrigerator- while this appliance work well, it is missing most of the door shelving which make storage tricky. Mattresses- this is a common issue when not at home but the beds in this house will be the only part of your trip that you will not miss. All in all the pros of this house outweigh the cons! This is a delightful and affordable get away that you won't regret booking!

We always come and stay at this location with Alex. We trust him and it’s always clean and nice to stay here. A lot of others don’t communicate and is so nice as Alex has been. He’s upfront with everything and will do whatever he can to make your stay happy!! 😊

Perfect Getaway😊

This was a Great place to stay. It was very clean and well maintained. I like that we were able to make our own food and do laundry right on the premises. The walk to the beach was a very short one. Took all of about a minute. I highly recommend this location and will not hesitate at all to return😊

The "Happy Turtle"

The Happy Turtle was a great place to stay. The place looks exactly like the photos. It was walking distance to the beach and driving distance to many great restaurants. Alex was very accommodating and couldn't have been nicer. Would definitely stay again.

Nice & clean very pretty.

Enjoyed our stay very much. 60 steps from beach misleading unless we went the wrong way. It could use a little maintenance. The gutters over entrance were coming down ,when raining you stand where all the water spills over the gutter to unlock the door., the grill out back looked clean but one side didn't work, and if you didn't have matches you couldn't light it.

Alex was wonderful to work with and did everything he could to make sure our stay was perfect!

The home was so cozy and clean and had everything we needed to make our stay great! We loved spending time on the lanai! The bedrooms were both large with lots of storage space. We would definitely recommend this property to others!
