Beautiful house
House was absolutely beautiful with easy access to beach.
Location was great and very pet friendly on the beach. However dealing with ants in the house was not fun!

Great location. The only issue was the ants. But, they’re performing dune work in the area, so all the ant colonies were shaken up. That’s what the

Great location!
This was the perfect house for our family to unplug and unwind from the busyness of life. Beach toys were onsite. Minus 1 star only because there was no grill on site. There’s nothing better than grilling at the beach.

Turtle Shell
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property. The accessibility to the beach with pets and older parents was nice.
The Turtle Shell is a wonderfully relaxing property. It is a great location, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and everything you need for a week at the beach. It is clear that the property owner cares.

Nice beach home
Location was perfect. Amenities were good. Everything was comfortable. Ants were a big problem. They were everywhere and in everything. Other than that, a few things in need of repair, but the location again was excellent. Walk right out into the beach. Not very crowded nearby.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us, Adam. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the perfect location and the comfortable amenities, as well as the peaceful beach nearby. However, we're truly sorry to learn about the ant issue and the maintenance concerns you experienced during your stay. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests.
Please know that we take these matters seriously and will be addressing them with our local team to ensure improvements are made. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better stay in the future.
Great location and the house is comfortable, the beach is a short walk. The ANTS are a daily struggle. We had to put everything in plastic.

Great house
We loved the layout of this house. The top deck furniture is probably the reason we will return. We spent most of our time enjoying the ocean from the top deck

The property was excellent, clean and quiet. Quick access to beach with great views from both decks. We had a couple minor household issues upon arrival and vacasa took care of them quickly, in the same day. Thanks to Chris Bolt for taking care of the electrical issues we had.
I have to say that we enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, the mattresses were comfortable, and the view was perfect. There were no ants or any bug for that matter. I am disabled and going down on the beach was very easy for me, minus the steps. I would love to stay here again, but the pricing has gone up and I won’t be able to afford it. The only thing that the house needs is a new set of pots and pans. Don’t pass this place up, you will lose be your stay.
Like the property overall but terrible ant problem, all through the house including the beds!

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you liked our home overall. However, we sincerely apologize for the ant problem you encountered during your stay. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide our guests. We have escalated this issue to our local operations manager to address it immediately and ensure it does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.

Worth it.
This home had everything we needed for a great vacation. Plenty of space and amenities with direct beach access. Not far from Sneads Ferry if you were to need supplies. Pier is within viewing and walking distance, public park and ice cream within 1.5 miles.
Yes there were ants outside but as long as we kept things cleaned up, they remained outside and away from the vehicles. Totally worth it...we would rent again.
Vacasa made it easy for us every step of the way.

The house was great. Very disappointed in the amount of ants in the house and outside of the house. My husband had to spend his money to buy chemicals to spray inside and out. The manager said they were sending a professional to spray, but no one showed up and said they did. Ants also got into our vehicles.

We had a good time even with all the things wrong with the house ie. poor housekeeping, could not use the keypad for entry-it did not work so had to leave another door unlocked for the week. Scary. An ice machine that went bonkers off and on day and night. Plus an ant invasion inside and out.
