Perfect Family Trip

Turtle Time exceeded our expectations for our family vacation! The house was comfortable and located in a great spot for access to the ocean as well as activities with a short walk or drive. We were thankful for the well-stocked kitchen supplies so we could make some easy meals at home after time on the beach. Thank you for a beautiful stay! We can't wait to return!

Perfect Family Vacation

Our family vacation at Turtle Time on Oak Island was better than we could have imagined! We were so thankful for the comfortable home and ideal location for beach and town activities! The home is just as you see in the listing photos but the sound of the waves and ocean breeze while you sit on the back porch made it better than we could have ever imagined. We hope to visit again very soon!

Great time

We had a mom’s weekend away and the place was great for what we needed. Loved the location and walkability to the beach. The house could have been cleaned better, the code to the front door was really long and the ice maker was frozen solid so we couldn’t get ice from it. Would love to come back.

Great beach cottage!

Such a great beach place! It was perfect for our family. It was super clean, easy ocean access, the deck is new, furniture is nice and beds comfortable! Recommend to anyone unless you need a new/gourmet kitchen. I’m already looking at when we can go back and rent Turtle Time again!

The best place I ever stayed

I have been coming to Oak Island and Holden Beach for years now, and this is easily the loveliest place I'd stayed at. There were little things here and there that could be fixed, but all in all, the house was great beautiful, right on the beach, close to the grocery stores. Definitely a favorite.

Turtle Time

House is older but has a good updated kitchen. Location is everything. Plenty of towels and sheets Had several problems but hopefully they will be taken care of by next year when we hope to return.
