What a wonderful house for a quiet vacation. It was a perfect home base to have breakfast and get ready to spend the day at the beach, going to the aquarium and Ft. Macon, or catching a ferry to Shackleford Island and Cape Lookout. Afternoon naps and homemade dinners or evenings at a local brewery or restaurant make this home an easy place to rest and enjoy your time in the area of Morehead City.

Hard to imagine it's been almost a year since you visited. The pictures you shared are so sweet. We found a new little place to eat by the beach. If you come back again, be certain to ask about it! You literally have your feet in the sand while you have a yummy lunch. There's even a little playground for the kids. Such fun!

Amazing Stay!

This place is truly amazing! They have everything you could need to make a stay (especially with kiddos) as fun and easy as possible. Our boys loved the outdoor games, board games and pirate hunt! Proximity to Fort Macon, beaches, Aquarium and Beaufort was great. We were even able to see a few fireworks through the trees from the front porch! We would absolutely recommend this place to others and come stay again ourselves!

Short Stay - Great Experience

This is an older cottage that has been wonderfully updated. It is in a very quiet neighborhood and in easy travel to the center of Morehead and on to Beaufort. A large food store is just a couple of blocks away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated all the considerations provided by host Matt.

Turtle Tuck was the perfect house for our vacation! The house was very clean and in a great location. You can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into this home. The small details that Matt has added makes this house feel like home!

This place was perfect for my family of 5. The host was very responsive and provided a lot of detailed information about the area, check in/ check out procedures and house rules. I didn't have to think or wonder one bit which was great! The house was very clean and well stocked with anything you may need. The beds were comfy! There were lots of books to read and games to play. The location was just a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants and beaches, but not on the main roads so you can relax as the kids play out in the yard. It was like a home away from home. I would be happy to stay here again in the future!
