The home was clean and as pictured, and the management company was very helpful and sent a welcome packet in advance with all info we would need. No beach towels though so bring your own or you’ll have to buy when you get there.

This property has a great location close to the beach and Coligny Plaza. It was nice not to have to drive anywhere if we didn’t choose to.
The property management group was excellent at communicating and very willing to make a last-minute change to our stay. Thank you for being accommodating.
The building itself is a little dated, but I feel the pictures do a fair job showing you what you are getting. I felt I was more than informed based on the listing. I have really two concerns. The first is that the mattresses should be replaced. The second is that the outdoor furniture could be replaced.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was absolutely perfect. So close to the beach and close to all the shops at the amazing coligne plaza. Also a short distance away from the children’s museum and incredible pirate ship park. The house was very cute however I only have 2 complaints. It was very dirty-they need a new cleaning service. Mold on shower curtains, lots of sand and dust. And the beds were very noisy and uncomfortable. We did not get much sleep during our stay. Overall we had a great trip. I would definitely do the same location but a different house.

We had a fabulous time staying in this property! The private pool, outdoor space and separate guest house (cottage) were perfect for us and our large family with adult children. Two minute walk to the beach. Two minute walk to Coligy, grocery store and multiple restaurants. The inside of the house was very clean and comfortable. The pool is very large for a private home and the property management company was very responsive. Yes, the outside could benefit from a pressure wash and the outdoor furniture and concrete around the pool aren’t perfect but overall this is a nice property. The only negatives where the lack of kitchen supplies, especially coffee cups and silverware, and lack of clothing storage in the cottage. Also, a shower caddy in the cottage bathroom would be super helpful. These are easy fixes that would make things all bit more enjoyable. It’s not a luxury home by any means but it is certainly comfortable. There is a very high likelihood we will stay at this property again.

We stayed at the property for a friend's wedding in town and it was great to be able to walk to the beach, walk to restaurants and shops, and walk to the wedding. Great pool and hangout in the house as well!

Great location! Walking distance to all the shops/restaurants. Very short distance to ocean. Screened in porch was nice. Pool was great! No pool/beach towels supplied, so bring your own or buy them like we had too.

I’ve previously stayed on this street, so it’s a great location. Close to the beach and shops/restaurants at Coligny. However, this property needs work. When we arrived, the house had not been properly cleaned. We had to buy air fresheners to help with the nasty smell. The pool area has a huge crack in the concrete so beware with kids. Would not recommend!
4.0
Just can’t beat the convenience of walking to the pool, beach, piggly wiggly, ice cream, cloud 9 THC/CBD, Rollers, big bamboo, The Bank, NYC pizza, and the list goes on. Excellent for keeping teenagers busy, but not out of trouble!

I give it a 5 because I'd read all the comments and knew what to expect. The new deck is nice. Can't beat location. I agree w all positive comments. My negatives: too many tripping hazards outside and in the pool. I understand why they keep renting the property out because it's fantastic...but honestly the whole property needs to be razed (except for the trees) and rebuilt.

The pool sells the property and I had a great week with the family. Unfortunately though, the outside pool area/chairs/surrounding property really needs an overhaul. Everything outside was really dirty. I never received any feedback from the property manager when I complained about construction materials/etc. laying out. We found deck screws on the pool deck.

We rent in the north forest beach location yearly and this was a great house for us. My in laws stayed in the seperate pool house while the family with children stayed in the main house. There was no storage for clothing in the guest house aside from a closet and no shelves in the guest shower, but everything else about the property met our needs.
4.0
We enjoyed our week but felt there could be improvements. No place for shampoo and soaps in the shower. No dresser in the cottage Outside around house dirty but Pool area. Beautiful. Rugs in house were hard and uncomfortable. The screen porch dirty. Walk to beach and Cologny perfect.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a cute little bungalow with easy access to food, shopping and beach. For the house to be old it was super clean. Here is the downside. The house has go to have some updates. However the cost of the house probably reflects that it needs updates and basic supplies to the kitchen that would make it a little more accommodating. The house needs a pressure wash, pool area needs to have a major clean, chairs replaced and decking replaced. All of these things are reflective in previous reviews so the home owner is aware. Again the house was super clean on the inside and the location is excellent and the price was probably reflective of everything previous reviews. the kitchen needs to be stocked a little better and just over all the house needs some updating in kitchen table, and all the outside needs to be cleaned and repaired. The property manager is super helpful. We never made any complaints but for others who might be looking for a more modern up to date rental this might help.

It was a wonderful little home. Close by Coligny. Being able to walk there was really nice. Really enjoyed all the light from all the windows. One of the nicest showers with a high shower head. We had a great time. we love staying close to the beach on the north forest beach side.

A wonderful little house that was so close to everything! A close walk to the beach and a short walk to coligny plaza. The pool was wonderful! The property was a little older than the surrounding houses and could use some updating, but overall it a wonderful place to stay and we would definitely come back!

Amazing Location
I cannot emphasize enough how GREAT the location is. There are many good qualities about the property, however, I would rent this house again solely based on the location. You are not only a very short walk to the beach, you are a minute away from restaurants, coffee shops, beach shops, and a grocery store which makes your stay very convenient. We didn't need to use our car at all.
We also loved having the pool which we spent a lot of time in, as well as eating dinner at the outside table. (which seemed new and it was great!)
I was a little nervous about the stay after reading some comments, but the property was GREAT. The only thing that I agree with in previous comments is that the deck definitely needs to be redone. The boards are uneven and splintering which cause my parents to trip a couple times. Other than that, the inside of the house is extremely cute and well decorated as well as the cottage. We were very comfortable and made many great memories.
I would love to book again.

I was hesitant with the reviews describing this property as a small cottage. It was very spacious. The pool was sparkling clean when we arrived and was much bigger than I thought. Both kids and adults enjoyed it very much. We had to call maintenance for a couple minor things but they responded immediately and were great! The people who stayed in the pool house were very happy too as it had a good size bathroom and room. The location is great and it is such an easy walk to the beach. I would highly recommend this property and would rent again!

The location was great. Everything we wanted was within minutes of this Rental location. I would recommend it to others.
However, the exterior of the rental could use some attention. Simple power washing and a fresh coat of paint would go a long way for appearances. Other minor details, such as exposed utilities pipes and cables along the back of the house are unsightly and perhaps easily concealed with a little carpentry work.
The private pool was very nice. We enjoyed it a lot. However, the pool lights didn’t work and we never got a response from Sea Turtle for getting this fixed timely.....would have made swimming late evening much more enjoyable for nothing more than a new light bulb.
The wood patio area was very worn....again, power spray and paint/stain would help. There was a brand new grill, which was great, but we waited on promised patio furniture until Thursday of our stay....too late to really enjoy it.
I liked the place and would give it a 7.5, but it easily could be a 9 with a little more upkeep!
Thanks

We walked to Coligny every day and to the beach in about 3-4 minutes!! The outdoor shower and pool were great after the beach! The house was cozy and our teenaged son enjoyed his own space in the “pool house”! We had a great time and would definitely go back again! The property is older and could use some repairs like any other property we’ve ever stayed in but, overall it was perfect for the four of us!!

Everything was comfortable inside. Outside the furniture is rusted, the boards are popping up, as is the concrete making it dangerous for walking. We love the house but the outside was run down and disappointing.

Reviewer Comments:
This vacation property has a very convenient location to both the beach restaurants and stores. It is in a neighbourhood of mostly grander and newer homes than this one. It is also beside a road, so I recommend doing a quick 360 on google maps to make sure you are comfortable with this feature. The cottage is super cosy and clean, and our rental company was professional and helpful. Still, it is important to note that the outside area looks much more rundown than in the photos; there are sandbags lining the house, the wood deck is rotten, the fence boards are missing, and the patio furniture is rusty. Also, the guest cabin has a strong mould smell and was difficult to ventilate because there were no windows, only doors. Since the doors are at a height and face the street, there is a loss of privacy and security if they are left open much.

Wonderful house near beach, shops, restaurants
The location of this house is fantastic… it is a 30 second walk to beach (just four houses away), and a 1/2 block to the dozens of shops and restaurants at Coligny plaza. The pool is huge and the waterfall wonderful! The house and pool house were very clean and comfortable. As stated by previous reviewers (and acknowledged by mgmt) , the exterior of the house, side patio and pool concrete surround are in need of deep cleaning, and repairs. There are missing fence posts, buckled concrete, dirty house exterior and gutters, and most of the patio furniture is in need of replacement. However, we would definitely rent this property again… the pool and location are just fantastic!

Property needs maintenance. The main house smells of mold , and the cottage is visibly moldy. The air conditioner vents are downright foul. Pool deck is uneven and a tripping hazard. The gutters are moldy and so full of debris I'm surprised they are still attached. Deck needs refreshing, etc. Has lots of potential tial, but needs work. The worst part was being kicked out a day early, but I guess that was an error on the part of Sea Turtle Getaways, not the owner. Regardless, what you are paying for is location, which is very good. Steps to beach, no major road to cross and near the shops.

The ac was set on 67 when we arrived. The television was left on in the LR. The house was dirty, especially the floors . The shower liner in the main house was black at the bottom. The pool was filthy when we arrived. The pool service didn’t even clean the pool. The deck had nails sticking up everywhere. There was pine sap on everything out back so you couldn’t sit on the furniture. There were sand bags along the back of the house because of a drain issue and the pine needles were laying on them thick. The concrete around the pool was raised up and split apart.

We had a beautiful week, the house could definitely use a little “up grading” this darling house has a ton of potential. It had everything we needed but it’s sort of a shame that the owner doesn’t upgrade or paint to keep it looking it’s best. It was very clean, pool was perfect and the extra cottage is perfect for teens! SeaTurtle was awesome to work with for sure! We plan on staying again next year but hoping to see some general updates. One could wish lol.
