I don’t know that I’ve ever had a better host. Barbara went above and beyond for our trip and made sure the house was clean and ready. She left a goody bag not only for us but our dog as well. The house is super close (right across the street) from a private beach entrance only used for a couple of houses. I would/will stay here again. We visit every year and this place ranks at the top.

This is the second time we have stayed and this place is beyond our expectations. Everything is included from toilet paper, detergent, gifts for us and the fur babies. The tv in each room was a game changer this year! Barbara is an amazing hosts and checks in with you to ensure you are enjoying your stay. It was an amazing time. We are already looking at dates next year to book!

Our stay couldn’t have been any better! This is a place where you could just bring your swimsuit and dogs because everything else was there - hairdryer, towels, etc. The dog run is so convenient. Let the dogs out safely on the side entrance. Private beach access is literally across the street. It was just the two of us and we slept in the upstairs kingsize bed. Extremely comfortable! I cannot think of one thing that has been overlooked. Thank you allowing us to stay at One Happy Turtle!

The home was in a good location...close to the beach..and coffee shops. Beach was really empty for a holiday weekend, that was peaceful. When we read all the amenities at the house, we packed lite in a back pack..and (my Chiuhaha) Little Jonny and I had a stressless weekend in the miata....I didn't have to pack much. All the kids came down and had lots of room to play and enjoy family..it felt like home again. Our Hostess was exceptional..she checked on us daily and made us feel welcome. We hope to visit her home again in the future. Roy and family
