My boyfriend and i had a very nice stay here at Turtle Tides ! although we stayed out of season, the property was clean and gorgeous and the views from the deck did not disappoint ! we had a little trouble getting in and Gene was very attentive and took the time to talk us through getting in quickly and kindly.

The property was beautiful, well decorated in adorable turtles, right on the ocean, very private balcony, beautiful views, fireplace. We had everything we needed. The owner communicated with us to make sure it was up to 5 star level and it was! Easy access. Perfect OBX location. We highly recommend this property. It was our first VRBO.

Check in was super easy. The view was just as described. The minute we walked in we felt our tension slip away. The weather didn’t always cooperate but being able to watch the waves whenever we wanted more than made up for it. The condo was very clean and spacious with great access to many attractions!

Mental reset

Overall we had a great time. The condo was clean and beautiful. The front door was a little tricky but we got the hang of it. We brought our own sheets,pillows and towels so the cleaning staff shouldn't have too much trouble.

Wonderful winter time get away

We had such a relaxing time staying at Turtle Tides. Nothing can beat the view and the sound of the ocean waves from the deck. The hosts had a lot of great information available for us - many great restaurant recommendations. Off season at the beach is so magical. I really enjoy the quiet time to reflect at the end of the year.

Great place on the ocean and centrally located

The condo is decorated so nicely in the beach/turtle theme and is a very pleasant place to stay! We loved having coffee in the morning on the deck while watching the sunrise over the ocean and being able to walk right out onto the beach. The view is wonderful. The location is centrally located to explore both North and South parts of the outer banks and within walking distance to many restaurants. The owner was very responsive, and checked in several times over our short 3 days to to be sure all was perfect for our stay. We can't wait to bring family back next time! Be aware that the there are a fair amount of stairs to climb to get in, so those with mobility issues may have trouble

Great week long retreat from the grind of life!

Turtle Tides is a great 3rd floor penthouse for two. We enjoyed the full kitchen, direct beach access from our private deck and the great views. No need to walk down the stairs to the beach, just walk out and enjoy a hot cup of tea listening to the ocean waves from the balcony. Also Gene’s picks for places to eat are spot on! Will be going back for sure!
