March Spring Break - fabulous!!

Property was directly across from the pool and just a brief walk to the beach. Easy to go either direction to get to food or activities. Property had great space indoors and outdoors to relax and converse and comes with a wagon, 2 boogie boards, and beach chairs for use. Will stay again!!

Great Christmas Break Trip

We had a great family girls trip over Christmas break! This condo was great and the ease of check in and check out was nice. We love this location and its the 2nd time we have stayed at Emerald Shores. The condo was very clean and had the necessities that we needed.

Home away from Home

It was very nice having a home away from home, in a beautiful and welcoming community. The pool across thebstreet isn't the neated one butbwas expretemly welcomkng to walk in. Its just a short 5 min walk to the beach and the attendent there is very helpful...you also have an option to purchase chair/umbrellas already set up at the beach but this rental does provide that and some pool noodles and sand toys. There is a nice Dollar General right next to the entrance which came in handy.There are only 2 things that I wish was better. First, the TV in the master bedroom has trouble connecting to the internet and when it does it struggles for streaming. Second, there is no full mirrors or even large mirror in the master bedroom. We had 2 official events to attend and it would have been nice to check our outfits instead of relying on each other to look it over.They had added little touches; nicely folded kitchen towels with soap and sponge, the bathroom toiletries, mode lighting for outdoor seating; really made all the difference. Even having some dryer sheets and wash pods for just incase was really nice (even though we didn't use the machines).If we are in town we will most definitely rent here again!

Clean & spacious in great neighborhood

Our family of four had a great Spring Break stay at Turquoise Turtle in April, 2025. The house was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Efficient heating and AC; appliances and door codes worked as expected. The house is right across from the larger pool which could be a little loud if outside, but not inside. We enjoyed the covered porch with the charcoal grill and the yard for throwing the baseball (many houses in the neighborhood have little or no yard). We used the beach wagon provided to tote our gear. Chairs and umbrella also available but we'd brought our own. It was about a six minute walk to the beach; the pavilion access with restrooms is convenient. The beach area isn't wide or deep but it's nice to have a reserved/private spot. The neighbors were friendly; it's a gated community so traffic is slow. Our kids rode their scooters often and felt safe. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, but no seasonings. The coffee pot is a Keurig w/K Cups or 8" basket filters. We recommend Skipper's take out for steamed snow crab & shrimp. Kenny D's was a great option for walking to a restaurant. Dollar General at end of the street had a decent grocery selection.
