Our family trip included a 2 year old to a 94 year old so it was great to have 3 bedrooms with 3 en suite bathrooms to accommodate all of us. There was room to spread out and it was nice to cook in the well stocked kitchen. My personal favorite was sitting on the balcony every morning with my coffee watching the sunrise. There is a boardwalk connecting the condo pool area to the beach, literally just steps away. It was a little cold to use the pool but the beach was lovely. We also spent a lot of time at Padre Island National Seashore which is less than a 30 minute drive from the condo. The only issue we encountered was the dishwasher was not working but someone was there to fix it within an hour of reporting the problem. Could not have asked for a better stay.

Turtley Awesome Lives Up to the Name

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turtley Awesome! Very clean, great location that has easy walking access to the beach. The pool and boardwalk are cleaned regularly. The pool has a lot of shallow area for young children. The view of the beach from the unit is superb!

Awesome place to stay!

My family stayed at this “Turtley Awesome” place and I can say, this place lives up to the name. My son and daughter in law had their own room, my grandkids shared a room and my husband and I had the main bedroom with the king size bed. We all had our own bathrooms, the place was clean and decor was nice, they had plenty of pots and pans, it had a great gulf view, the pool was nice and clean and it was so close to the beach! I will definitely book this same room again when we come with our family.

This property is great. The pool and patio area is clean and relaxing. The walkway to the beach is in excellent condition. The condo was perfect. Plenty of cooking and eating utensils (pot, pans, etc). Clean bath towels. Nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. Everything was just as expected. And I loved the turtles everywhere. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Turtley house. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The decor was great with the turtle/ beach vibes. The entire condo was well stocked with towels , soaps, linens, dishes and everything we needed for our stay. It was very spacious with lots of storage room. . The pool was big enough and never too busy. The boardwalk makes for a convenient way to get to the beach and is no longer damaged as mentioned in previous. The l place even has an elevator which is also helpful. We also took advantage of the chairs and umbrella rental discount that was offered. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Great kitchen supplies, the queen size bed in the room on the right facing into the unit has a large dip in it and the he box spring seems broken. Also I lease supply blankets so the bed spreads aren’t touching the sleepers. Pretty sure the bedspreads aren’t washed with each visit. The American flag for the building is shredded and needs to be replaced. I’ll gladly rent this unit again if those two issues addressed

It was Turtley Awesome!

This unit is truly Turtley Awesome! They named it right. It’s a huge unit. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The decor is so great. I had trouble wanting to leave the room. I was enjoying the room as much or more than the beach. Very cozy, cozy, beautiful! it was one of the nicest condos I’ve ever stayed in. It also has everything you need in that unit. They have it well stocked. It’s not far to walk to the beach you go across the boardwalk. The swimming pool is so beautiful. We really enjoyed lounging around the pool and swimming in the pool. The weekend we stayed the seaweed was horrible on the beach, but we managed just raked it out of our way and the water was perfect. I just love being at the beach and I will definitely return to this unit again

The pros: amazing location -- only steps to the boardwalk. Big windows (and balcony) facing the ocean from two rooms. Bright walls and decor. Spacious. Beach toys in the closet.The things they need to fix: (1) to get the door code, you have to use a random third-party website to generate one. There are 2 issues with this: (A) they didn't explain the process at any point; I just got a cryptic email and decided to trust it. (B) The site allows you to generate a code for any of their rooms; there's no identity verification. Seems un-secure to me.(2) The management company gives a number to text, but they often don't respond.(3) Most of the outlets throughout the unit can't grip a plug at all, so the plugs just fall out (or hang halfway out, which is a hazard).(4) The headboards are completely detached from the bedframes and just leaning against the wall(5) There was no sponge in the kitchen (or cooking oil).

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positives of the home, including the location, views, and space. We do need to firmly clarify that guests are not asked to generate their own door codes. Access codes are automatically generated by our secure system and sent directly to each guest prior to arrival. These codes are unique to the reservation and active only for the dates of stay. We do not use any third-party website that allows access to other units, and we take the security of our properties very seriously. Regarding communication, we see that you reached out after business hours and our team responded the next morning at 8:35 AM. While text messaging is not monitored overnight, we do provide a 24/7 emergency phone line for urgent needs. We appreciate you bringing the maintenance items to our attention, including the outlets and headboards, and will ensure our team addresses these promptly. Lastly, we do not provide cooking oils or spices due to health and safety guidelines. Thank you again for your feedback as it helps us continue to improve the guest experience. -Life in Paradise Team

Overall a very good experience. Unit was nicely decorated and great ocean view. Beds and furniture were comfortable. When we arrived at the unit around 415p, the rental agency still had not sent the door code. When I called, the agency said that it had got hung up in email and then they immediately sent it out.A few suggestions:1. Clean the ac register vents in every room immediately. They are pretty dirty.2. If the ocean view is a selling point for the unit, it would be a benefit if you provided a small squeegee to clean the ocean front windows. Residue builds up fairly quickly. I don't think guests would mind cleaning them with a few quick swipes rather than with many paper towels and scrubbing and drying.3. A fine mesh strainer would be nice as a collander does not always work.4. Ice cream scoop and 4 cup liquid measuring cup

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had a very good experience and enjoyed the nicely decorated unit, great ocean view, and comfortable furniture and beds. We apologize for the delay in receiving the door code and appreciate your patience while we resolved the issue. Your suggestions are incredibly helpful! We’ll prioritize cleaning the AC register vents and consider providing a small squeegee for the oceanfront windows to make it easier for guests to maintain the view. We’ll also look into adding a fine mesh strainer, an ice cream scoop, and a 4-cup liquid measuring cup to the kitchen amenities. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to host you again soon! -Life in Paradise Team
