loved the location, very cute decor. Bed was hard, wish it was softer along with the pillows, I usually bring my own, but did not this trip. The statement of ALL FEES INCLUDED is not correct, the VRBO charge is an additional add on. I was very disappointed about this misleading sales pitch.

Love everything about Turtle Shell. It was clean and up-to-date. The only thing that was disappointing was the mattress. We really struggled with a good nights sleep. It time for a new one.

Pretty good stay for a weekend

Our overall stay was pretty good. The location is okay. You can walk to food and coffee but it is at least a 10 minute walk. I’d recommend taking bikes if you have them. Beach was quiet and relaxing. Room was overall very clean. Only bad comments would be that we could not get the TV to work for anything. That sucked because we didn’t have any way to watch anything expect on our phones. Also, no WiFi. Also, there was no hang soap in our dispenser so just small things that go a long way.
