Great Family Vacation

This was our first family vacation with both of our adult children, our son-in-law, and two young grandchildren (21 months and five weeks). We needed a three-bedroom rental, and this property was ideal. With a bedroom on each level, the layout gave everyone plenty of space. The first level worked perfectly for our daughter’s family — it felt almost like a private apartment for them.The beach was just a short walk from our front door, and we often felt like we had it to ourselves. The condo is located at the far end of Atlantic Beach, right before Ft. Macon State Park, which added to the sense of privacy and tranquility. The beach was never crowded.Accessing restaurants and shops in Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Beaufort was easy and convenient.We’d love to stay here again the next time we visit Atlantic Beach.---Would you like to tweak this for a rental review or maybe use it in a personal travel journal? I’m happy to tailor it however you need.

Spring Break in Atlantic Beach

The condo was as advertised, if not better. It was very tidy and cozy. It had all the amenities to make us feel right at home while on a spring break getaway. The host was very accommodating and provided excellent instructions for check in/check out and during our time there. Our favorite part was being just a short walk from the beach. Everyone had a great time. We hope to get to come again.

Very nice stay

My family had a great time staying at this townhouse. I loved the porch off the master suite and being right across the street from the pool was so easy with a toddler. The house had everything we needed and the host was responsive and helpful when we encountered an issue with the doorknob on the front door. We hope to come back again next year!

Annual Family Beach Vacation

My family stayed at the Sandy Turtle for our annual family beach trip to Atlantic Beach. We absolutely loved the property-it’s perfect for a family. (We had three teenagers with us.) The condo was very clean, and there was even a welcome gift basket with snacks and water for us upon our arrival. The condo is in a great location, very convenient to restaurants and shopping. Very smooth and easy check in/check out process, and the owner is very responsive to messages. Would highly recommend this place to anyone! We hope to stay again in the future!

Great place to stay!

Communication was easy and always quick to get a response. The condo was very clean and we had no issues with anything. We were able to cook several meals easily with the well equipped kitchen. Having a code to enter the place is really nice. It’s also nice that the windows had motorized covers to block sunlight to be able to sleep in when desired.
