This is our second stay with the company, but different set of condos. This one says it sleeps 8, but 6 plus a baby was TIGHT. Bathroom was small, so needless to say there was no modesty/privacy with 6 people. The pool is fun and great temp. Very close to the beach. Clean and functional. We were missing some of the basic cleaning items promised but staff was quick to get it to us. Kitchen is well stocked with basic cooking supplies.

My family and I have stayed in this condo twice and love it! Its cute, modern with updated amenities and the pool is an added treasure. It is super close to the beach and several restaurants so you don't have to leave the island.

Perfect place to stay with littles! Our toddler loved both pools! The accommodation was great! Very clean and quiet. Wish we would have had more guidance for getting to the beach, but I am certain management would have been helpful. Also, front door locks were tricky. My toddler was able to open it from the inside so we had to place a door in front of it. Aside from those items, we had a great stay and will absolutely return!

Reviewer Comments:
The facility was good but 1st night we noticed that we did not have a blanket for one of the beds. We called the number on flyer and they said sorry we can’t bring you one tonight so we were cold that night. They said one would come the next day about halfway through the next day we had to go to the office and one showed up about 30 minutes later. Also on the website it promised free ice and coffee and snacks from 9-11 all of these things were unavailable during our stay. I was very disappointed that those things weren’t available.

Reviewer Comments:
Stayed in mid-March for three nights. Good location within 5-10 min walk from beach. As stated, there is only a starter supply of household items. We had a few extra towels, but expect one towel and washcloth per person. We ended up washing the bedding and making the top bunk bed, which wasn’t done before our arrival. The back porch has nice artificial grass, which is ok for dogs to potty on. We didn’t end spending much time there since you know dogs have done their business everywhere in the small space. There is an outdoor faucet in front, which was nice to wash sand off feet and beach items. The hose is in poor condition with leaks, could use replaced. The community pool was heated and our kids liked it. The bathroom wasn’t clean at the pool, expect public bathroom level of dirtiness. Slide on top rack of dishwasher was broke, but dishwasher still functioned. Overall would stay again!

We loved the location and rental unit. It was perfect for our family of four. The community heated pool and slides was great for the kids. We enjoyed the clubhouse and all of their daily activities and family entertainment. Highly recommend and will stay here again!

We honestly loved this place. Overall it was very clean, neat and cozy. It was very dog friendly and had easy access to the beach. We are leaving 3 stars though because we had an incident happen. When I was in the shower I heard my dog begin to bark and the front door slam shut. I came out to see what happened and luckily we always keep a camera on to watch our dog. So I went back and looked at the camera footage and to our surprise a man in a red shirt tried to enter our condo unannounced and unexpectedly. In the video you see my dog get up and start to bark at the man and he got scared and left. Our car was not out front because my Boyfriend was at the beach at the time so it looked like no one was home. My boyfriend drove home immediately and went to the office. The front office had no idea why this happened apologized and said it was an accident. But when I spoke to another maintenance worker about what happened his reply was “I don’t do that I know better.” As in the other man knew what he was doing and it wasn’t an accident. He also said that the man might have thought his friend lived in the condo we were staying in. But this again was not true because we saw that maintenance worker multiple times and he saw us come and go. He knew his friend did not live there he was clearly up to no good. We also found out that our door did not have a deadbolt so anyone who had a passcode could enter any time they wanted. After this had happened we did not feel safe to leave the property at all. We slept very horribly thinking anyone could walk in at any time. My birthday trip turned into a trip filled with anxiety and us wanting to go home. We were offered a 2pm checkout but we decided to leave on time at 11am because we Just wanted to get out of there. Like I said it was a nice place but if you stay here I would advise you to get a camera for inside your condo to make sure no one comes in when you are at the beach or just not in the condo.

Great communication with the property
manager through a few mishaps that were outside of anybody’s control. Condo and associated amenities were some of the best we have had on the island. Would definitely recommend for others to stay.

Turtle-licious was adorable. The employees in the office were kind and quick to answer any questions. I wish the slide pool was more child friendly. The adults had taken over and there was a heavy smell of smoke everytime we walked by. That was one of the biggest selling points of the property and we didn't get to slide once. The splash pad pool however, was a huge hit.

The property is just as listed. Very clean and great communication from the property manager. We had a quick stay over Memorial Day weekend. Easy access to the beach.

We stayed at Turtle-Licious for three nights during spring break and it was an unforgettable trip. We had our three girls, 1 year old boy and Boston Terrier. I was a little nervous it wouldn't be enough space for all of us but it fit us perfectly. There was even enough space in the master bedroom for a pack and play. Its a tight fit but it works. My wife and I kept commenting if we remodeled our home we would pick out all the same materials and colors. The murals on the walls are beautiful and got my girls talking and dreaming of sea turtles. The staff at the club house really made the trip for us. They have activities planned for the family every night and definitely have a gift of hospitality. The two heated pools were amazing and my kids said they loved thier time in the game room as well. We all felt so welcome and at home the hardest part was actually leaving. We can't wait to come back again! Also I definitely recommend renting a golf cart to get down to the beach, it was the cherry on top for us.

Our group, 3 adults & 2 teenagers, really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean, nicely decorated, and perfect for our visit. The staff was very responsive & went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed.
