About this place

Turtle Shack • Super Cute Beach House 1mi to OIB

Great Location! Cozy one-level ranch home with a screened in porch to relax and enjoy the breeze! We provide everything you need to make this your family's favorite place to stay.

Literally just 1 mile from our door to the beach.

Rent this entire home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all within 1 mile from the parks, shops, Lowes Foods, Publix, surf shops, boat launches, fishing, boat rentals, restaurants, and more...

The home sleeps 8, with 3 queen beds and a large sectional sleep sofa. At just over 1000 square feet, the home is perfect for your family to enjoy some time in beautiful Ocean Isle Beach. This is definitely smaller house with cozy rooms, but you definitely have enough room to spread out. With a large kitchen, ample size living room, and covered outdoor screened-in porch, your family can enjoy your own space, and then come together in the open kitchen for meals and family time.

NEW! Now we have 2 Smart TVs with Roku/FireTV sticks, so you can watch NETFLIX, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, and more. Free Wi-Fi included!

Relax on the porch, the couch, in the yard, or with your feet in the sand on beautiful Ocean Isle Beach, less than 4 minutes away.

NOTE: This property requires a $300 SECURITY DEPOSIT, a Separate Traveler Agreement plus an Addendum for this property, and your government-issued ID. More info below, and in the house rules.

The open floor plan makes cooking and hanging out a totally comfortable experience, with a large TV mounted on the living room so you can enjoy NETFLIX, Hulu, Amazon Video, YouTube, or whatever you like.

Ocean Isle Beach is famous for Sea Turtle Nests, and this home is located right by a famous restaurant, The Sugar Shack, so we felt it appropriate to call this home THE TURTLE SHACK. Someday we will count all of the Turtles located all over this property.

All of the rooms have Nautical Names and Rustic Themes to make this home a place you'll always remember...

Turtle Room: Queen bed with small TV
Octopus Room: Queen bed with medium TV
Seahorse Room: Queen Bed

One of our favorite things about the home is the amazing and private screened-in porch. It's the perfect place to unwind and relax throughout most of the year.

To make the best of your stay and the most pleasant experience for all of us, please review our basic house rules prior to booking. Thank you!

Yes, we advertise that this home "Sleeps 8," and it definitely can and does. 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a sleeper sofa. However, please keep in mind that the home is about 1000 square feet total. If 8 fully grown adults showed up for a week with 8 fully grown suitcases, then it will absolutely be a little cramped. The ideal amount of humans for this size space is probably 6, but it will fit 8, especially if some of those people are not fully grown adults.

After booking, we will send you a Red Carpet Rental Agreement to sign to complete your reservation. It's a no-nonsense Agreement that protects the guest, host, and the property, and is allowed within the policies and guidelines of all travel booking platforms. The Agreement will come to you as a link, and we require all guests to sign it to rent any of our properties, no matter where the reservation came from. You will have to upload a copy of your government-issued ID to complete your reservation. This property requires a $300.00 SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be collected as a credit card hold separately by the property prior to your arrival or at check-in.

Pet fees are $75 per dog, and if your OTA does not support multiple pet fees, we will collect it separately before check-in. NO PUPPIES, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, and more breeds- PLEASE REVIEW THE FULL LIST OF RESTRICTED BREEDS BEFORE BOOKING.

***Linens & Supplies***
This a furnished home, not a hotel. We provide enough basic supplies to help you get settled in, but if you're staying more than a few days, please plan to purchase additional items as needed.

We provide:

• Basic bed linens for each bed (plus the sleeper sofa, if applicable)
• Basic Bath towels
• Basic kitchenware and cookware
• Enough laundry and dishwasher detergent for approximately 1 to 2 loads
• A starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, and other household essentials

Items such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are sometimes available, but we cannot guarantee they will be stocked upon arrival.

If you're planning an extended stay, you'll need to bring your own preferred toiletries, paper products, laundry detergent, trash bags, and other personal or household supplies.

***We also recommend bringing your favorite pillows or blankets if you have specific comfort preferences. The linens, pillows, and towels we provide are clean, comfortable, and intended for everyday use, but they are standard household quality rather than luxury hotel bedding.***

**SECURITY CAMERAS DISCLOSURE: For your safety and security, this property, and all properties offered by Red Carpet Furnished Homes, use exterior cameras to monitor outdoor areas, including yards, parking, and entrances. These cameras must remain on at all times and should not be adjusted or deactivated.**
