10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We have rented from VRBO for years and never stayed in a house so well equipped for guests. The owner was very responsive and left us a very thoughtful gift basket! There wasn't one thing we looked for that we couldn't find to make our stay perfect. Access to the beach was visible from the porch. The proximity to the grocery store was minutes away. The neighborhood was fantastic for a daytime walk toward the sound. I can't say enough great things about the property, location and owner!

Awesome place. Very clean and spacious for the 10 of us. Good location and quiet area. Will go back again.

Absolutely would stay again! The host is fantastic....so nice, excellent communication and she really has thought of everything! If we thought we may have left something at home...she had it there for us...even for the dogs! The dogs enjoyed their stay and getting a few romps on the beach, which is just across the street, hanging out on the porch and potty breaks in the dog run. Our 2yo nephew had just about everything he needed as well! It was so nice to arrive and be ready to hit the beach.Comfortable home with everything you need. Convenient to the beach and a few blocks from the bridge to local shops, restaurants and ice cream shops everywhere! We hope to make this an annual trip for our family and would definitely come back to 1 Happy Turtle!

We loved our stay at the Happy Turtle! Great place for family and pets. The cleaning crew was awesome (house was sparkling) and our guest contact Ms. Barbara was absolutely wonderful. This was the best stocked house we've been to on vacation - a lot of thought and effort went into making sure we had everything we needed, particularly since we cooked at home all week (one night of takeout). They had everything we needed! Easy walk to beach (grandparents in their 70's and knee replacements had no trouble walking to the beach). They loved the house as did our teenage sons!Only complaint is that the week went by too fast.We cannot wait to come back to the Happy Turtle again!
