4th of July vacation

Had a wonderful week celebrating the 4th at Casa Tortuga! The house had everything we needed, and we especially appreciated the organization and attention to detail -ie. Every light switch and kitchen cabinets were labeled. The beach cart and bikes came in handy traveling to/from the beach, which is a short and scenic walk. Would highly recommend this rental and Chris was very responsive and attentive. Would love to come back to this beautiful home!

Great house and location close to beach

The house has a great location. It is an easy 10 min walk to the beach. My family thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent at the house. Everything you need for your stay is provided, from laundry detergent pods to a big wagon to transport your beach gear. Beach was not crowded and neighborhood is very quiet. Chris was great at communicating and check in was very smooth. Would definitely stay at this house if we come to Oak Island again.

The house has a nice open living room to hang out. I appreciated the beach cart to get everything to the beach. The walk is a little far but doable and you can drive over. I liked it for my teens because they could come and go. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The checkout list is also very minimal.

Amazing stay!

Our family loved staying here! The layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have their own space. Bathrooms are very spacious. Washer and dryer worked very quickly; my kids LOVED the outside shower (we’re not fans of leftover sand). Kitchen was well stocked and organized, the back porch has a HUGE table and benches for family meals. Beach was a very short walk away. Everything you need for the beach was included in the shed at the back of the house, other than food and towels of course. We will be booking again for sure!

Great short stay

Stayed here for a quick anniversary getaway with my husband and another couple. House was just as advertised. And just as others have said the walk down to the beach from the house is almost or as enjoyable as the actual beach. Wish we could have stayed longer. Communication from owner was great. It was wonderful to have the supplies needed already at the home so as to not have to buy a bunch of paper products, etc for such a short stay (Friday afternoon through Sunday morning). Very simple check out process as well. Overall great stay. Thanks!

Excellent beach house with everything you need

We had a great time at Casa Tortuga. The house is on a quiet dead end road. It's also directly on a public beach access streeet...takes 7-10 mins to walk to the beach depending on how speedy you are. The owner kindly lets you use the beach chairs, umbrella, bikes, wagon,kayaks, and the gas grill. We loved sitting on the screened-in porch. The entire house is very organized and labeled so you know where to find absolutely everything and you know which light switch operates which light.

Area is a really nice and quiet vacation area. The house itself is on a quiet street but has great access to the waterway and beach. House has lots of extras like the things you need for the beach. Just take beach towels from home with you. Loved the bikes to use too! House is very clean and great spaces for adults and teens to spread out. We loved the screened in back porch. Would recommend this house to anyone! Owner was attentive and texted us right back when we had a question.

Perfect October Beach Get-a-Way

Our family of four adults had a delightful four night stay at this property. We spent our time enjoying long, lazy days at the beach, eating take-out, bike riding, kite flying, playing games, and relaxing. The house is beautiful, spacious, nicely laid out, and had everything we needed. The location is wonderful. There are nearby eateries and grocery stores. We enjoyed the pretty walk to and from the beach. The large wagon makes it easy to haul beach supplies. The host, Chris, is attentive and communicates well. Thank you for everything! We would love to stay at your property again.

Great vacay at OKI

Loved having the master room off the laundry room and away from the other rooms, for a little bit of peace :) Walk was hot (it was July after all) but totally manageable, especially with a beach wagon (we brought our own, and also used Chris's when we had a larger load). The outdoor shower was maybe one of my favorite features, especially after a hot walk, and to make sure all the sand stayed outside where it belonged! House was very well-stocked (beyond any other rental I've stayed at) and that made it much easier for our arrival. Chris was very fast in any communication. Thanks!
