One of the Best Stays We’ve Ever Had! This hotel truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped — toaster, kettle, dishes, utensils, bowls — absolutely everything! We brought a lot with us, but honestly, we didn’t need to — they had it all. We loved that there were games and activities available, which was perfect for rainy days. Another huge plus was the washer and dryer — traveling with a small child means laundry is inevitable, and this was incredibly helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was generous and well laid out. We honestly enjoyed everything about our stay. The only small downside was that the pool wasn’t heated — if it were, this place would easily be a perfect 10/10 for us!

Tiny Turtle is very well decorated.It is very comfortable and well supplied for the needs of the guest.

Easy access to the center of town and the beach Property is well kept and pet friendly so our four-legged children can visit, too. Nice clean pool. The unit has a queen-size bed, a fold- down couch, very nice appliances in the kitchen, washer and dryer in the bathroom which is very nice.

We rented this unit because we were interested in buying another unit in this complex. The location was perfect, close to everything, directly across the street from the beach. Super cute little getaway.

Perfect

Our stay was wonderful. The beach conditions were fantastic.y husband discovered The Beach House Kitchen restaurant. It was only 1 1/2 blocks away which meant not having to fight traffic to go eat. Both of us could have cocktails at dinner. The food was delicious and service was great. The only negative was the family who stayed above us. The noise never stopped. Our poor dog thought it was thunder. We wish we could have stayed longer.
