Turtle Cove Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Relax with friends and family in this peaceful canal-front home in the quiet Turtle Cove community. With a large dock, you can bring your boat, fish right off the dock, hop in one of the three provided kayaks for a paddle, or opt for one of the many fishing charters in the area. Downstairs you'll find an outdoor shower, gas grill, picnic table, and fridge where you can stash your day's catch. Spend the afternoon on the outdoor swing on the lower deck while the kids nap in the two adorable toddler beds. If you're eager for a beach day, Surfside Beach is about four and a half miles away - don't forget to grab the beach chairs and umbrella stored downstairs. After firing up the grill or preparing your catch in the full kitchen, you can dine alfresco at the picnic table or opt for the roomy dining area inside. A booster seat and high chair are provided to accommodate younger guests. There are many games for the kids while you stream your favorite shows on the TVs in either the living area or the main bedroom, or you can grab one of the rocking chairs on the upstairs deck and watch the stars.

3 night stay
The communication was excellent, had problems with TV, they came out first thing next day, ended up hdmi was just unplugged, they also changed air filter, I did bring to their attention, air grate was extremely dirty and wood next to it was thick with dust, ceiling fans needed cleaning, otherwise everything else was clean. Had coffee pot but no coffee, had to get some from store, usually that is provided when staying in a home or town home. Neighbor on one side had a very nice place, but the other side was extremely run down and junkie.

nice fishing cabin
We were looking for a place to stay while we went fishing. It was fine for that. The air couldn't cool down below 87 during the day. However it was over 100 outside. Just curious, does anyone ever use the toddler beds that take over the 2nd bedroom. Seems to me a twin bed in the room might be better.

Great location & amenities
Very comfy home right on the inlet waterway fully stocked with everything needed for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and playing on the beach. Location is perfect for fishing and a short drive to Surfside Beach. The only downside we experienced was the A/C does not work properly from mid day until 7pm so it would heat up to 84 degrees inside and wouldn’t cool down until right before sunset.

Not Bad
This place is a little smaller than the pictures make it out to be. We rented it for a place to crash after fishing all day so it is well suited for that. However the neighbor seems to be hoarder and his place is trashed so it kind of kills the vacation vibe.

Good value, best for families with young kids.
Good spot within short driving distance of a variety of fun outdoor activities. Location included beach toys, kayaks, other outdoor activity materials. Small and homey, with adequate kitchen and bathroom amenities. Rated for 6 adults. Sleeping arrangement included 1 twin to full bed (comfortably fits 2 adults), 2 fold out single beds, and 2 small toddler beds. 4 adults plus X children (2-4) a more accurate sleeping arrangement description.

Nice cozy place other than the Mosquitoes
Place was clean and cozy. Just wish we could’ve enjoyed more time outside grilling and fishing on the dock because we couldn’t due to the Overwhelming of mosquitoes we tried off etc it didn’t work well. I think there needs to be a pest control system in place to spray the area.

Overall Good Stay
Enjoyed the location of the property. The neighbor next door is an unfriendly hoarder, who does not keep his dog on a leash, so that detracts from the stay. There were a lot of ants in the kitchen and bathroom-that and the neighbor are the main cons of the trip. Otherwise a cute place, love the attached dock and deck and proximity to various beaches.

We had a great stay! The home was perfect for our family. The house has everything you’ll need for your stay. We even caught a fish. The only things that were not so great were the instructions on how to enter the home, the tub water drains slowly, and the view of the home next door omg. Which I know has nothing to do with the rental. Lol. But over all we loved it. We can’t wait to come back!
