Reviewer Comments: This was our third stay at Turtle Shack. We love the location, the house is well-equipped, the new sun room really makes the living space feel larger and the management company is very responsive--missing towels were delivered in minutes. We plan to stay here again in the future. My only complaint is that closet and bedroom doors are not cut to accommodate carpet making them very difficult to open and close at times. ##### Gillian G. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen S. May 21, 2024 #### Family Vacation at Turtle Shack Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Turtle Shack was the perfect spot for our family vacation. It is a VERY short walk to the beach. The house is nestled in a very nice beach neighborhood. Turtle Shack is a beautifully designed home with pretty updated furniture to make it very comfortable and relaxing. It is large enough and layed out so perfectly that a large family may spread out. There were no signs of any pets from the previous visitors but speaking of pets what a perfect spot Turtle Shack is for them. It has a nice side yard along with the earlier mentioned neighborhood. Restaurants and shopping are not far away from this spot. Our only complaint is the housekeeping specifically in the kitchen. We were shocked by what we found in the garbage disposal but our call to the rental office was responsive. Except for a few dirty dishes found on the shelf and the dirty bath mats the rest of the house was spotless. We would not hesitate to return next year and hope to do so! Turtle Shack was a great find. ##### Kathleen S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loni S. Jul 5, 2023 #### Excellent stay! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

Itā€™s location was great and centrally located to all the places we explored and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and well furnished. We would have loved to use the pool, but the weather was cold and windy. We would definitely recommend this vacation home. Communication with the rental company was great as well! ##### Rose W. From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Carol W. Jul 1, 2020 #### It was ok! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was okay. The pool was very nice and I felt it was clean upon arriving. Also not a bad walk to the beach access. But, there were so many things that should be taken care of before guests arrive. There were screens out of the windows, no batteries in the tv remotes, no toaster in the kitchen, the ottoman in the living room was ripped and hanging off. I doubt Iā€™d rent this place again. ##### Carol W. From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephanie V. Oct 2, 2020 #### Great location, house could use a thorough clean Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is in a great location and it was nice to have the pool as well. The beach is just a short walk away and there is easy access to walking trails as well. Our stay could have been improved if the house had been cleaned better. Perhaps because we stayed at the tail end of the season it explains some of the excess dirt but the house could really use a thorough cleaning. There was a solid build up of dust on the Hvac return in the bedrooms level, you could see where someone attempted to dust the entertainment section but only swiped half of it, and there was dog hair on the floor and furniture that was not vacuumed. ##### Stephanie V. From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Tonya G. Jun 19, 2020 #### Turtle Shack Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house was nice. There were a few things that need to be addressed. The top floor sliding door lock is broken and looks like it has been for a while. The showers have straight heads on them and donā€™t make for a pleasant shower. Also the one master bath has a broken stopper so you canā€™t use the tub, only as a shower. The cleaning was questionable as we found dog hair under the furniture. I hate to be critical but when you spend that amount of money you hope for a little more. These kinds of problems are rare as I havenā€™t experienced them with other homes rented through Beach Realty. ##### Tonya G. From a partner site ### 4/10 Poor #### Tim S. Sep 11, 2024 #### Turtle Shack lives up to its name Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived on Sunday the 1st. We were met by members of the cleaning staff who told us the carpet cleaners would be there Tuesday. Upon entering the house we discovered multiple issues. On the bedroom area there issues. One bedroom had a bifold closet door off the track. The hallway bathroom had mold on the shower curtain. The bunkbed room carpet stain of unknown origin. The deck on that level had one of the 2 chairs cracked. The top level had issues as well. There was rug on the deck containing dog feces. The window beside the television showed evidence of water damage. I could write my name in the dust on the television stand. If you walked barefoot on the carpet in the GREAT Room you left dusty footprints on the vinyl floor. The half bathroom on this floor had a dental floss stick on t h e floor. The house came with a charcoal grill. Unfortunately only 1 of the 2 handles were connected which resulted in $60 worth of swordfish falling into the sand. The house has great view and pool. I stayed home all day Tuesday waiting for the cleaners who never came at all. Another realtor had a rental available Saturday in Corolla. Beach realty was closed in Duck but had an office in Corolla which I reported to Lawerence since their app never worked. I also emailed them. I got an email on the 8th saying they would be in touch. I got this survey on the 9th. It is 310 on the 10th and I never heard back so I'm filling out the survey ##### Tim S. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott L.

Appeared recently updated, 1 min walk to beach. Note, this portion of outer banks has experienced severe beach erosion. Hopefully dune restoration is planned. ##### Scott L.

I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very cute inside and a very close walk to the beach. I have to say outside was another story. This home is dog friendly. The entire yard was filled with some kind of long, sticky briars that stuck to our dog's fur and skin. Very painful to remove for her and for us. A simple weed whack of the premises would prevent this from happening. No real play area for children as well. No blankets or top sheet for beds. Floors left our 20 month old with dirty feet. Rugs could use a cleaning as well. Close to beach, but would not stay here again. ##### Jeanne G. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd M.

Oct 8, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Cleanliness was a major issue We ended up booking this house Thursday-Sunday. That really only gives you Friday and Saturday because of check in/out. If I was staying any longer than that, I would have complained on the spot about the cleanliness of the house. Every surface is covered in dust, grime, or hair. You're probably thinking that it's because this is a dog friendly house, but I'm not talking about dog hair. In the age of COVID, and being that I'm pregnant, this really bothered me. Not only that, but there was still some urine on the toilet seat from the last guest. I would maybe expect this from using VRBO to rent from an owner, but through a real estate agency I'm pretty shocked. Especially for the money paid for the house. I had to go in and clean up for the first hour or so that we arrived and then resist cleaning the whole house. It just made it very hard to relax. Other than that, the sliding glass door to master bedroom 1 doesn't latch, so sleeping at night with no sense of security was a bit of a bummer too. I've been going to OBX since I was five years old and this was my first experience like this. Love OBX, but won't be returning back to this house. ##### Jesse T.

Reviewer Comments: House was nice. Only complaint would be the bedroom with bunk beds had a recent water leak in the ceiling from the roof and had a musty odor to it. Roofing company came while we were there and fixed the leak. ##### A guest from Pittsburgh, PA S.

Very clean and well maintained. Easy walk to the beach\~ close enough to hear the surf. Quick drive into Duck. Would have liked screens on the windows so we could have had them open\~ but it may have been too early in the season. Would definitely come back! ##### elisabeth l.

Reviewer Comments: The location of the home is perfect - just a short walk to the beach and the Sea Tern community is pretty spread out so the beach itself wasn't too crowded. The pool at Turtle Shack is awesome and gets much needed shade at different parts throughout the day. Upstairs living area and kitchen is very spacious and the recent upgrades to the house are nice. ##### Erin W. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan M. Jun 10, 2020 #### Great rental!
