About this property

Turtle Shack - Super Cute Beach House 1mi to OIB

Great Location! Cozy one-level ranch home with a screened in porch to relax and enjoy the breeze! We provide everything you need to make this your family's favorite place to stay.

Literally just 1 mile from our door to the beach.

Rent this entire home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all within 1 mile from the parks, shops, Lowes Foods, Publix, surf shops, boat launches, fishing, boat rentals, restaurants, and more...

The home sleeps 8, with 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a large sectional sleep sofa. At just over 1000 square feet, the home is perfect for your family to enjoy some time in beautiful Ocean Isle Beach. This is definitely smaller house with cozy rooms, but you definitely have enough room to spread out. With a large kitchen, ample size living room, and covered outdoor screened-in porch, your family can enjoy your own space, and then come together in the open kitchen for meals and family time.

NEW! Now we have 2 Smart TVs with Roku/FireTV sticks, so you can watch NETFLIX, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, and more. Free Wi-Fi included!

Relax on the porch, the couch, in the yard, or with your feet in the sand on beautiful Ocean Isle Beach, less than 4 minutes away.

NOTE: This property requires a $300 Security Deposit, a Separate Traveler Agreement, and your government-issued ID. More info below, and in the house rules.

The open floor plan makes cooking and hanging out a totally comfortable experience, with a large TV mounted on the living room so you can enjoy NETFLIX, Hulu, Amazon Video, YouTube, or whatever you like.

Ocean Isle Beach is famous for Sea Turtle Nests, and this home is located right by a famous restaurant, The Sugar Shack, so we felt it appropriate to call this home THE TURTLE SHACK. Someday we will count all of the Turtles located all over this property.

All of the rooms have Nautical Names and Rustic Themes to make this home a place you'll always remember...

Turtle Room: Queen bed with small TV
Octopus Room: Queen bed with medium TV
Seahorse Room: 2 Twin beds

One of our favorite things about the home is the amazing and private screened-in porch. It's the perfect place to unwind and relax throughout most of the year.

The home is really easy to find, and you can comfortably park up to 3 cars between the carport, front driveway, and rear driveway.

To make the best of your stay and the most pleasant experience for all of us, please review our basic house rules prior to booking. Thank you!

Yes, we advertise that this home "Sleeps 8," and it definitely can and does. 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a sleeper sofa. However, please keep in mind that the home is about 1000 square feet total. If 8 fully grown adults showed up for a week with 8 fully grown suitcases, then it will absolutely be a little cramped. The ideal amount of humans for this size space is probably 6, but it will fit 8, especially if some of those people are not fully grown adults.

After booking, we will send you a Red Carpet Rental Agreement to sign to complete your reservation. It's a no-nonsense Agreement that protects the guest, host, and the property, and is allowed within the policies and guidelines of all travel booking platforms. The Agreement will come to you as a link, and we require all guests to sign it to rent any of our properties, no matter where the reservation came from. You will have to upload a copy of your government-issued ID to complete your reservation. This property requires a $300.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be collected as a credit card hold separately by the property prior to your arrival or at check-in.

Pet fees are $75 per dog, and if your OTA does not support multiple pet fees, we will collect it separately before check-in. NO PUPPIES, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, and more breeds- PLEASE REVIEW THE FULL LIST OF RESTRICTED BREEDS BEFORE BOOKING.

"Pack 'n Play" (Travel Crib) available by request, and must be requested at least 48 hours prior to check-in.

**SECURITY CAMERAS DISCLOSURE: For your safety and security, this property—and all properties offered by Red Carpet Furnished Homes—use exterior cameras to monitor outdoor areas, including yards, parking, and entrances. These cameras must remain on at all times and should not be adjusted or deactivated.**

Dated and NOT CLEAN

The location is great, however the house is extremely dated and needs a lot of upgrades to charge the price for this place. Limited kitchen item, towels, and general supplies. The house was very very dirty, pet hair on the beds, dusty, bathrooms were not clean, and one of the bedrooms smells like cat urine. I sent pictures of all the issues and was just told “I will tell the cleaning staff”, no apology, no offerer to make it right. Please save your money, DO NOT STAY HERE.

I'm a Turtle Lover

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Turtle Shack! We came to town for a fishing trip for a couple of days, but would definitely rent this home for a week! It is exactly as described and we loved it! It was very clean and had everything we needed! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

LOVED IT!! Like a Home away from Home!

Just want to start out by saying, we are at the beach 8-10 times year for golf and weekend trips. We have stayed in numerous condos and resorts, and I enjoyed this house as much as anything. Nice location in ocean isle beach, close to everything and still quiet. House was clean, spacious and had everything you need to enjoy a vacation.. Loved the place.. THANKS!

Turtle Shack Experience

First and foremost, the host, Brandon McLean is a pleasure to deal with. He was quick and accurate with his response to any questions that came up. The Turtle Shack was spotlessly clean and well stocked with all necessities. Beds and furniture were comfortable and more than adequate for our 5 night stay. We look forward to staying again.

stayed here for a beach wedding

The property was clean and accommodating. Even though the property is next door to a restaurant, the restaurant was only open from late afternoon until about 9 PM, so very quiet.

Very small house; Ideal for a family with kids

This house does not sleep 8 adults comfortably. It’s ideal for a family with children. Great location, love Sugar Shack! The shower off the kitchen is teeny tiny, and kitchen itself is very small. Hard to get in through the door from the carport, as you are walking straight into the washing machine. Owner is easy to communicate with. Mattresses are very hard and not comfortable in our opinion.

We had a wonderful time at the Turtle Shack. It was clean and perfect for two families.

The Turtle Shack was clean and close by everything. The splash pad and park was near by and it was a quick drive to the beach. We would love to come back. The owner was prompt with messages. We had no issues.

"House is exactly as described and allows easy access to public beaches with short drive. Great place to stay with plenty of room and very clean."

"Great location (across from Lowes’ Foods and across from a cute Jamaican restaurant)! It was a three-four minute drive to the beach, so that was great, too. The TV has a Roku, so it was nice to have access to streaming services while there. The bedrooms were a good size and the living room area was a nice size, too. The kitchen had all the basics, plus a few extras. The hosts were always very quick to respond-I really appreciated their attentive communication. We enjoyed our stay!"
