The unit had a great AC unit. Was tastefully decorated and has the basics. Loved the coded lock on door and bathroom was spacious. Beach Church was 2 blocks away. The gravel parking lot and bed coziness could use improvement but overall nice of you can handle small

Everything was clean and cozy, my only complaint would be that the mattress could definitely be improved.

Pretty good stay for a weekend

Our overall stay was pretty good. The location is okay. You can walk to food and coffee but it is at least a 10 minute walk. I’d recommend taking bikes if you have them. Beach was quiet and relaxing. Room was overall very clean. Only bad comments would be that we could not get the TV to work for anything. That sucked because we didn’t have any way to watch anything expect on our phones. Also, no WiFi. Also, there was no hang soap in our dispenser so just small things that go a long way.

Love everything about Turtle Shell. It was clean and up-to-date. The only thing that was disappointing was the mattress. We really struggled with a good nights sleep. It time for a new one.
