Our stay was amazing and Turtle Shell was the cutest little place with everything needed to have a weekend at the shore. We definitely enjoyed it and would stay again in the future.

Was a great stay, dog friendly and close to beach. The only thing I wish we had was an outside shower and spigot for the dog!

Everything was clean and cozy, my only complaint would be that the mattress could definitely be improved.

Location to beach and local shops / restaurants were perfect. Able to walk to everywhere I needed to go. I felt safe and had everything I needed for an enjoyable stay.

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.

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.
