Fun week!

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.

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.

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!

Very nice property; well maintained; bikes and beach chairs, wagon, umbrella available. For streaming Hulu available. Host responded quickly when messaged. Neighborhood quiet; enjoyed boardwalk over inter coastal and not a long walk to beach. Liked island Jo’s for coffee and sandwiches. Southport quaint; some nice restaurants and shops. Bald head island very nice; recommend golfcart. People of oak island seemed very nice. Caswell beach is nice. Enjoyed our stay.

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.

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!

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 vacation!

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.

Clean house, responsive host

We enjoyed our stay at casa tortuga. Chris was very attentive and accessible. Unfortunately came at a time when the weather was cold and windy so we didn’t get to use kayaks or go to the beach much. The kayaks are the sit on top kind. Enjoyed watching wildlife at the canal. The distance to both the beach and the ICW were a little further than i thought. Like if someone wants to go back to the house to use the restroom it’s a bit of a hike from the beach. Just fyi for small kids. It was a good stay, oak island and the area are really cute, I’d never been before.

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!

Comfortable beach vacay

My family and I (8 of us) enjoyed the 10 min walk to the ocean each day. We looked at the crabs in the marsh on the way. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely with newer looking family homes and old trees. The homeowner was pleasant and available via text. The bicycles could use a little fine tuning. The beach umbrella was missing a part (which we found the day we left). And 2 of the boogie boards were broken. The homeowner was unaware of these issues and plans to take care of them in another week or so. We used the wagon every day to haul our stuff to the beach. The kids took several bike rides around the island. We brought our own bike for our 7 yr old since the bikes provided were for bigger people. We played putt putt twice, which was a blast. We cooked on the grill twice. The kitchen was adequately furnished. It was nice that previous renters had left condiments in the fridge. There was also toilet paper, paper towels, and detergents so we didn't have to run out to the store right away. The entrance to the spacious master bedroom is at the back of the house so I could retreat to my room when I needed some down time. I relaxed on the back porch a lot and enjoyed the rockers on the front porch. The kids were able to sign into our Netflix account and watch movies when they wanted to. We did one puzzle and played connect four. The house decor is calming and beachy. I would stay in this house again.
