Spanish Wells Oasis

From the start to finish our stay at the Turtle Shell Cottage was perfect. The house was clean and organized with everything you needed for your stay. Jody took our family on a day long boat excursion and it was perfect. We swam with the pigs, went to the swings in the middle of ocean, visited sanddollar beach and snorkled at 2 amazing spots. The walk to the beach was coated in fairy lights that lit up the trees-it was magical. We will be back!!

Great Family Vacation

This property was absolutely for our spring break as a family! It was a great place to launch our explorations of the island, and we loved how close it was to the beach. We got to do lots of snorkeling and kayaking. I was well stocked and had everything we needed.

Escape from our Alaska winter!

Absolutely a delightful place. So wonderful to make a cup of coffee in the morning and walk to the beautiful beach in under a minute. The landscaping and all of the surroundings were over the top. The furnishings were comfortable. Communication with the host was easy. A complete pleasure to stay in your escape.

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Turtle Shell

First off our communication in pre-planning was super quick and super helpful. The place was so cute and comfortable and access to the beach (a spectacular, nearly empty of people beach) was 1 min walk. Spanish Wells is wonderful and we will go back and we would love to stay here again. Thank you Tara and Jody for all the help and for this lovely little gem of a place
