Great experience!

We have been going to Santa Rosa beach for the past 7 years, stayed in a few places, but this house became one of my favorites. Clean, comfortable and in a great location. The golf cart was a huge part of the fun and success of our trip. The second day we weren’t able to start the golf cart, so it was a hassle because we had my senior parents and a one year old baby that needed to be able to go back and forth, and parking lot is very limited at the beach. So I contacted the office and even though they weren’t able to resolve the problem, they responded immediately. Thank goodness my son was able to figure out what needed to be done to start the cart after they towed it back to the house. For any future guess, there is a bottom (red light) under the key hole that you need to push to start the golf cart if it doesn’t start once you unplug it. We never understood why, and we asked our neighbors if they needed to do this and they said no, but just in case because we are still waiting for the technician or mechanic to come tell us what to do…Lol! Despite this incident, we highly recommend this property and will be coming back next year, God willing!

Good for two families.

This place was perfect for our two families, (ten people total)Located within walking distance of many good things, including the beach, and well equipped for making your own meals! The only reason I did not give it four stars was because the golf cart broke down halfway through and they weren’t able to do much about it. But things happen, and we would absolutely stay again.

Perfect Santa Rosa Beach house

This was a perfect house for our two families on Spring Break! The house was ready on time, spotless and just as described. It is very well furnished! We had four adults and five kids and it was plenty of room. The walk into town is super quick but the golf cart was so nice for bringing kids and gear down to the beach. I highly recommend this rental and if we come back to Santa Rosa this will be our first choice!

Great house!

We usually stay at Watercolor but decided to try something different this time. We loved Santa Rosa/Blue Mountain and this house was perfect. Great location (1/2 mi from the beach & restaurants), lots of space (giving the teenagers the whole upstairs was great for everyone), and having the golf cart was awesome. We'll definitely be back!

Fall Family Fun

My wife and I along with two of our niece's and their families had a nice week at Turtle Shell Cottage. The house worked well for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids. We are very familiar with the area, so we made good use of the golf cart that was provided in order to get back and forth to the beach and local restaurants. The itrip team was very easy to work with and very responsive to our questions and our one issue of a shower drain that needed attention. We normally travel alone, but if we have another chance for a family trip, we would rent again.

Overall good

Issues with the fridge cooling and a bathroom tub draining. They were quick to come check it out. The washer also seems to have a worn start button so you have to fidget with it some. I wish there was some more cook ware. The furniture on the back patio needs replaced, however, the front porch is nice. A few more accommodations would have been nice. For our group, the set up worked well for us all to be together, yet have our own space. Not terribly far from the beach, but with small kids it’s a trip walking. I probably wouldn’t rent it again, mostly because we had no access to a pool.

Great beach house for big family

This was a great place for our family of 11! We had plenty of room, everyone had a bed, and plenty of bathrooms! We loved the location. The proximity to the beach was great. We rented a golf cart to get around, but could and did walk back and forth also. The street was a nice quiet area and friendly neighbors. We loved the set up of the house and all the furnishings were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and great for us on the nights we cooked dinner for everyone. Loved that the house was also close to Gulfplace with its shops and places to eat. We tried The Perfect Pig, Sunrise Coffee and Shunk Gulley and loved all of them. Would rent this place again!!

Girl's Trip

We had the most amazing trip at this location. The house was beautiful, clean, and was had a great location. This was a girl's trip and we had all the space we needed for 5 ladies. There was plenty of bathrooms and adult, very cozy beds. We wish there was a full-size mirror somewhere in the house but still loved the house. We were able to walk to the beach and shop at the stores. Close to very delicious food choices. Over all an amazing trip.
