Charming beach cottage with a Hot Tub & Cargo Lift. Turtle Shell is the perfect home to make memories on the beach. Located on a large lot with plenty of space to play and a downstairs covered patio/driveway with a Hot Tub. Spend your days at the Beach and your nights in the Hot Tub. We have outdoor Bluetooth speakers so you can listen to your tunes, Charcoal BBQ Grill, Tiki Picnic Table, Outdoor Lighting, Corn Hole, Darts, and other games. You’ll have direct access to the beach with a short walk or drive to the beach. (Our photos show you an aerial view of the house to the beach.) Many excellent restaurants and grocery shopping are within a mile. A Hot Tub & Pet Agreement will be required to sign to complete your booking.

We have an amazing set up with an open concept and a separate game room with mini-fridge, Smart TV and pull-out couch. (So, the kids can watch their own movies!) Sleeps 8 max. Enjoy your own Smart TV in the bedrooms and living room including free YouTube TV.

We have a laid-back beach haven that everyone can enjoy, and we make sure our guests are taken care of by providing linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, laundry detergent, dish soap and dishwasher pods. We just want you to bring your vacation gear, food and drinks and your beach attitude!

We have a Microwave, SS Refrigerator with filtered water and ice maker, Electric Range, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, Keurig, Toaster, Blender, washer and dryer.

Guests will be given a 4-digit lock code prior to arrival for contactless check-in. You can park on the beach (with a $10 parking sticker). Golf cart rentals are available as well. If you would like to rent a golf cart, we recommend you do so as soon as possible! The nearby golf cart rental companies tend to get booked quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Horton

Host profile image
We live in the DFW area. We love coming to the beach house to relax and feel the sand in our toes. We love sharing our beach house with others so they can enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

We love this quiet neighborhood, and many owners live in the subdivision. Emerald Beach 2 is one of the most desired neighborhoods. Our house is a short walk to the beach. We also love driving our vehicle and parking on the beach; set up your canopy, turn on your tunes and stay the day.

What makes this property unique

Our property with a Hot Tub has plenty of room for the kids to play games while the adults cook out on the BBQ grill, listening to your music on our blue tooth speakers and our outdoor hot and cold shower makes it easy rinse off the sand. Our Cargo Lift is wonderful for carrying up your groceries and luggage. This is not for Humans.
