10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
The property was great. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware. We cooked most of our meals here so it was a bonus not having to buy extra cookware. Beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for me, my husband, my mom and 2 teenagers. The downstairs is great for the teens to hangout. It was nice having the garage. We were able to unload our beach gear into there every day. Great location too. Quiet neighborhood. I will say, the charcoal grill definitely needs upgraded but we made it work. We are already planning our next trip for next year and planning on staying here.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2024
Communication with property manager was great. House is a little outdated and needs some maintenance, but had what we needed. Location is near restaurants and a short ride to beach. Rental of golf cart and beach chairs is a needed add on.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Tranquil Turtle. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers. It was especially nice having 4 bathrooms. Unfortunately, our dog had a fight with the blinds in one of the bedrooms. We notified the property managers and they were so nice and understanding. They quoted us a price that we felt was very fair to fix the damage. Overall, I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing vacay in Port A.
