The Turtle Shell: Home Across from Ocean Crest Pier and Restaurant

4 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms
1 King | 3 Queens | 2 Twin Rolling Cots

Welcome to the Turtle Shell, OKI’s finest, offering one of the largest private pools on the island (40X16)! Enjoy beautiful expansive ocean views, direct beach access, as well as the Ocean Crest Pier and Island Way Restaurant just steps away across the street. This property provides ample on-site parking so no need to pay extra to go to the beach. As many of our reviews attest, this location simply is the best!

Please enjoy the private pool which includes a generous tanning ledge, also great for young kids to splash around on, a massive deep end with bench seating to enjoy cocktails while lounging in the pool and lots of space for lap swimming as well. Please inquire about the heating and cooling function for an additional fee.

The Turtle Shell offers outdoor space running the gamut from shaded decks to under-house picnic areas to sunshine by the pool with ample lounge seating for all. The covered front porch is a favorite spot to enjoy coffee in the morning and happy hours in the afternoon while watching the waves crash with beautiful unobstructed views of the ocean and pier. The covered area under the house is the perfect place to have a shrimp boil on the two picnic tables or stay covered while cooking on the gas grill. The covered back porch overlooks the pool and offers respite from the sun and wind. There are many places to congregate and play games or watch beautiful sunsets.

This beautiful vacation rental boasts an open floor plan featuring an updated kitchen with ocean views and space for all the chefs in the family including stainless steel appliances and quartz counter tops next to an oversized dining table with ample bench seating to accommodate family. The kitchen and dining areas open into the large living room which includes abundant seating and a large screen TV with smart features and a DVD library all with the same stunning ocean views. The high-speed internet allows streaming on all devices including HD Roku TVs in each room. The pocket doors on one side of the house are perfect for separate families or young children to provide a quiet space on one side of the house or while you wash a load of clothes.

The bedroom layout is ideal with two bedrooms separated by one bathroom on each side of the house. The two front bedrooms (king and queen) have amazing ocean views. All bedrooms have abundant light, clothing storage, ceiling fans, as well as blinds and curtains for those that enjoy dark sleeping quarters.

Off-season nightly rentals available with a two-night minimum.

Guests should note that an additional pool heating or cooling fee is required for each day a guest requests these services. Guest must request the pool heating and pay the fee by calling the OIA office during normal business hours at least 24 hours prior to arrival. Pool heating is only available when temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.
