Nice property, close to the drive on beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit itself was clean and stocked with appropriate kitchen items. It sleeps 7 and we had 7. 1 bath wasn't too much of a problem. Good wifi and TV coverage. Cons: Outside furniture is shabby. Most items were stocked appropriately, but could use more TP even as a starter. The property has a nice pool, but it didn't seem to be cleaned at regular intervals. It was a good stay and I recommend it to others.

Winter Get Away

We had a very nice month stay at Aruba Bay Resort. Me and my husband stayed the month and had guests off and on. Condo was a nice set up. 2nd bedroom is a bit small and no room for storage. Just one rack with hangers. Was not a major issue, just made it work.Location was great. 2 blocks from Ocean and 2 happy hour Bar stops. Pool at Resort was nice and clean. We would stay here again.

Great Family Beach Time

We had a wonderful couple of days even though the weather wasn’t cooperating! The townhome fit our needs and the pool etc. was added fun. I only wish the kitchen had been better equipped (ie silver ware, plastic bowls/lids, liquid dish soap, paper towels) and maybe extra bath towels.

Quick Beach Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The accommodations are nice, however the unit is missing some very key items to ensure a positive experience. Positives:The beds were nice and the decor was very fitting. There was a lot of pots and pans for use.Negatives: There was no tupperware with lids to hold leftovers while on site. No starter shampoo or conditioner was provided. No salt or pepper. Everything was just to the minimum in regards to items available for use. I personally run an STR and it goes a long way to have things that will allow guests to enjoy their stay without having to run to the grocery store the moment they get to the home. The unit was overall clean, but the return air vent was full of dust.

Nice and close to the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I wish it had two bathrooms. The no salt and pepper is silly. That's a basic necessity. I was worried about noise from traffic but it wasn't an issue. Underneath the big bed was lots of random trash. The trash can didn't have a lid. Overall it was nice.

Not Bad

It is a clean place close enough to the beach where you could walk there. It is pet friendly but there isnt a patch of Grass to be found, you need to walk down the block before you can get to an area your dog can do their business. They make it seem like a resort but its just a collection of small condos and a parking lot. It isn't a bad place to stay but I would say it isnt worth the price as you can get more for less in that area. But if you cant find anything else, it is not a bad option.

Nice functional space...could use some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is great..easy beach access and drive to activities, food etc. Property Management was kind and prompt. Zero issues with check in/out. The unit had ample space for our family of 5 and was generally nice. Clean beds, sheets, towels. Cons were the main couch was worn and sunken in and there was a weird smell upon initially entering unit. Back door was worn and hard to open and close. The pool was not clear/was hazy likely due to amount of people using it. It also had a lot of build up on the tiles and bird nests around the water slides. But...still fun and functional especially for families.

Terrific Turtle Bay

Beyond our expectations! Evertything is brand new and beautiful!! Pictures were very accurate. All amenities and accommodations were exactly as described. Turtle Bay provided everything we needed and allowed us to bring our pet. It was hard to find a property that would allow one large dog but they were very accommodating which we appreciated and would not have been able to stay here otherwise. Pools were great and beach access was nearby. It was just perfect! Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
