We had a person in our group with mobility issues so having an elevator was nice, plus having a suite on the main level made it comfortable for this person. We will rent again. ##### Elizabeth K.

The home was big enough to accommodate all of us and very clean. We had no complaints and looking forward to coming again in the near future. ##### Cathy H.

May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Beach Getaway My family and I stayed here for an extended weekend and loved the proximity to the beach and view of the beach from the pool. We had several young kids with us who napped during the day and it allowed us to stay close to them but still feel like we were able to enjoy the beach. It was a very close walk to the pier and restaurants, ice cream, etc. We will be back! ##### Rachel V. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philly M. Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Annual end of summer beach trip Every year we vacation in Surf City as a family. This year we had some must haves like being ocean front and having an elevator which were some of the reasons we booked the Tipsy Turtle which did not disappoint! Our host was extremely communicative through the booking process, as well as during our stay. The home is beautiful, spacious, had everything we needed and the ocean views were priceless. We plan to book this home again when we come back to Surf City next year. ##### Philly M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolynn B.

This is an amazing home that offers stunning views from all angles!! They have all you need to enjoy the pool that overlooks the beach or take 20 steps and you are ON THE BEACH!! The communication with property management was quick and easy! This was the perfect ending to a perfect wedding for my son and his new bride!! ##### Jamie J.

Nov 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Stay for the location Stay for the location. The listing stated Side A, but it was really Side B. Palmetto bugs were seen (and killed) whenever we entered the foyer. They are common at the beach, but seeing one in the bedroom floor was very disturbing. Please spray the home. ##### Margaret-Anne A. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shauna R. Nov 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Gathering We drive from Georgia, 5 adults, 5 kids and a dog. We had a small mishap with the code to get in the door and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. My son accidentally left his AirPods there, and I reached out to them and they took the time to go to the house and look for them and went above and beyond to find them and ship them back. We cannot wait to see the renovations and we will absolutely be back next year! Thank you so much! ##### Shauna R. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin W.

May 21, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good to ok The bathroom on the fourth floor sink is leaking underneath and is dripping into the living room. The Jack and Jill bathroom toilet has a leak at the bottom of it. Had to call local management to get the Pool cleaned. And the trash cans were overflowing. The pool was not circulating properly. I tell you this because if you don’t know you can’t fix it. We will plan on staying at this property again, we really enjoyed the house but it had these problems. We understand that things break and need work. It happens in your own house. Thanks and I hope this helps you. ##### David S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024
