I love this island retreat! Everyone is very friendly,and helpful. Turtle time is a awesome house that might as well be listed as ocean front. Updated and very clean.would highly recommended.

The house is right across the street from public beach access, so location was fantastic. We had to call to request a new grill top for the small charcoal grill, and they actually delivered a brand new grill—which was super nice and much appreciated. The kitchen area is small, and there’s only one common area, but we didn’t spend a lot of time in the house. Lots of stairs, so not a great location if you have older folks in your group.

Very clean. Comfortable. Lots of steps!

Overall wonderful stay! Property could use a few upgrades…..some doors to deck wouldn’t open or lock. A few loose spindles on deck (safety issue with toddlers). Need some new mattresses. Pool and location was great!

We did an extended long weekend at Turtle Time for Memorial Day Weekend. The house was perfect for our two families (4 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 5 - 11 years old). The house gave us plenty of room to spread out with two bedrooms on the top floor and the rest on the first floor. We appreciated how well equipped the house was (I've never rented a house with so many plates, cups, etc. available to use - very helpful with six kids!) The beds and pillows were also very comfortable. We really loved the location and ocean access right across the street. We could easily come and go from the beach which was convenient with all the kids. Having both the pool and easy ocean access was great. This seems like one of the more quiet sections of beach on North Topsail. Even on the peak days of Memorial Day Weekend there were only a handful of people in either direction. Felt almost like our own section of private beach. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the kitchen and deck / dining area outside. We also received great service from Paragon Vacations. While at out at dinner one night a HUGE thunderstorm/hailstorm came through and caused some electrical and internet issues with the house. Alan from Paragon was extremely quick to respond and work to get things fixed. He was very responsive and communicative as he worked through everything.

We booked the house for a family including grandparents, parents, young adult grandchildren, and the first great-grandchild. It is a perfect place to give the young adults their personal space, private balcony and hot tub, and give the older adults their peaceful times. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The views are beautiful, public beach access in front of the house was very nice. The property management was responsive and very accommodating. The pool area is awesome. We dream of returning, if we can get everyone together at the same time again. Sweet memories made to last a lifetime. Thank you for renting this property.

We had a great time this year at Turtle time. After a few mishaps in the beginning of the week. We had a little scary event with a snake that was in one of the bedrooms on the second floor in which my boyfriend was able to capture and release unharmed. The management company was gracious enough to inform us of some water damage due to a tropical storm prior to our arrival. This damage did not hinder our stay at all. We have been traveling to Turtle time for at least the last 4 Years and love that area love the house. The house does need some Renovations and we were told by the management company this is going to happen in the fall this year to include some landscaping and the new barbecue grill. Living area furniture sofas could use updating.

Turtle Time is the perfect get away from it all oasis. The property is located away from the hustle and bustle and boasts some of the best views, from every possible angle. The multi story decks afford unobstructed views of the ocean out front and the perfect sunset setting in back. The pool and hot tub only enhance the charm of this property even more. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to allow privacy for a large number of people staying together in one home. Really great for an extended family situation!!! The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to have a home away from home vacation. We enjoyed gorgeous walks at sunrise and took some of the most beautiful photos we’ve ever taken on the beach. In the evening the breeze off the ocean created the perfect setting for a nice glass of wine and great conversation. I can’t say enough good things about this property, the rental experience or the location. We will be back for sure if they’ll have us!!!
