Loved the house. Lots of step ups and step downs but we got used to that pretty quickly. The dogs loved the back deck and fenced in yard. There are definitely improvements that could be done to the property but I know everything is so expensive these days I can understand why certain things haven’t been updated. Definitely have a mouse problem that needs to be taken care of. Loved the Ocean Springs area and enjoyed our weekend!

Layout gives plenty of space with 2 bedrooms on opposite sides, each with its own bath. Conveniently located. Home is located at the end of a street. Very secluded. Driving in you have to go through an older neighborhood with homes in varying degrees of upkeep. May be off-putting to some at first. Couple words of caution...would not recommend this property to anyone with limited mobility as there are steps in the foyer and steps up to the kitchen and bedrooms. Both tubs are very deep making them a challenge for anyone who can't lift their legs high. Also, anyone familiar with coastal areas knows that high humidity creates challenges with mold. The 2nd bath has a strong moldy smell, so this may not be a good fit for anyone with lung / breathing issues. The property was generally clean, but could do with a much deeper clean. We did not encounter any issues with our stay requiring us to interact with the owner.

Hope and Dian were wonderful hosts. Communication was timely and appropriate. The sheets were comfortable; living area very nice; large windows in the mornings were awesome; shower heads and lots of hot water - great; laundry was good plus the laundry room was useful; neighborhood quiet. This is a beautiful home that was once great. It needs a very deep cleaning and possibly updates to get rid of the old dirt. I don't know why the other reviews didn't mention this. Hope offered to deep clean the kitchen while we were there. Since deep cleaning takes quite a bit of time, we declined. The outside lighting in the back did not work. An attempt was made to fix it but couldn't be done and no one followed up. I see a previous review from last September that also mentioned the same problem. The dishwasher door was broken. On our 3rd day there, the mice showed up. Dian brought more traps. Both Dian and Hope apologized thinking the mice came in during recent window replacement. There was evidence the mice had been there for quite some time. Mouse droppings were in the kitchen drawers and oven mits had been gnawed on for nesting material. Towels had also be chewed. Mouse droppings were also found in the spare bedroom on the window sill. After setting our own traps and catching 4 mice, we left a week early and there was no offer to refund part of our money. It's hard to believe that no one else had a similar experience. We will not stay here again and we would not recommend the Turtle House to anyone. We feel that it's very important to be honest on these reviews.

Great place! Great location!

Turtle House is a sweet house surrounded by a lush lot that we enjoyed through large windows because it rained for our visit Houses that allow dogs are always a little risky but Turtle House smelled great and the furniture is slipcovered. The fenced yard seemed inescapable and was perfect for our guys to explore. We will return!

This was a short girl trip looking for a small town Christmas. We did enjoy our stay and the openess of the home to nature. It is not as close to downtown as we thought however. We wanted to be able to walk from the house to downtown and that was not possible for us.

Very serene and restful atmosphere.

Liked it very much....a few too many stairs for old folks, but all in all very comfortable

Loved it!!! This house is beautiful, private, and peaceful!! A very relaxing place to spend time with family while attending my sons destination wedding and taking in some sights. Planning to come back again next year.

This was the second time we stayed at the Turtle house. It has everything you need or could want. Our only complaint with this property is the yard. I believe we put this in our review last time. There a lot of tree roots and no lights in the backyard, so it is really dangerous at night. The main problem is the fencing. It is in really bad shape and we had to find tree branches and a flower pot to keep our dog from getting out. If those things would get corrected it would be absolutely perfect!

It was a beautiful place, relaxing, and low key. Beautiful weather and beautiful cars, an overall GREAT CTC 2022. Will be back!

Nice quiet place. Just a bit out of the way from where we were spending the bulk of our time. Wish there were grab bars in the showers to hold onto. A little rough getting in and out of the high tub for us short folks with bad knees. Also need non slip rugs on the tile floor. Other than that it was nice.

Nice

This property was so cute and tucked away. We loved being so close to everything but yet feeling like we were alone and very private. Everything was super nice!

We love this property. We feel like it's our own and that we've grown with it (first trip was just us, second we brought the dogs, and this third trip we brought the dogs AND our one year old. We have fallen in love with the Turtle House and Ocean Springs!

This was such a cozy & comfortable house. Great location-so quiet & peaceful. Easy access to everything we wanted to see & do. Would highly recommend.

Very much enjoyed our stay at The Turtle House. Just what we needed for our long weekend. Close to downtown OS and Front Beach. Super quiet street backed up to a lot of greenery. For sure we will stay there again!

We had a great time

The property was in a quiet neighborhood and a 4 minute drive to East Beach. We saw a turtle the last day of our stay!

Private, quiet and clean. Not as close to the beach as I had hoped. We enjoyed it.

Roomy property very private. Enjoyed it !

We love our stays at the Turtle House! You feel right at home. It's a great place to bring the pets along. Dian and the management team are very dedicated to making sure all your needs are met and you have a wonderful stay. We will be visiting again!

This place is a hidden gem! We absolutely loved how quiet it was, how close it was to beaches, and the town's culture! The owners were very good at communication as well! We hope to stay again.

Located in a great place and it was enough room for my family.

Love this house very dog friendly with a fenced yard. Grilling our fresh catch on the deck was the best. House is in a neighborhood but with all of the bamboo and trees you feel like you are in the woods by yourself. Bring bug spray if the mosquitoes like you. Also the fence is low in places so if your dogs are jumpers I would watch them closely.

This house was amazing! Everything was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook your favorite dish. The beds were comfortable. There is a nice jetted tub. My furbabies loved the large fenced in yard. The living area and dining area were very spacious and comfortable. We also enjoyed the private deck. We will be staying there again.

Because of our interest in Ishee homes in Ocean Springs, we were excited to finally be able to book The Turtle House. Loved the feeling of a week in the midst of trees. The view from the huge living room window and the large deck was the same - total privacy surrounded by green. Truly beautiful even when it rained. Although we knew that it was not wheelchair accessible, we had not picked up from the pictures that the rooms cascaded from one level to another following the terrain from the back of the house to the front. The varying heights of steps required caution. Surely, this is another Ishee feature. The decor of the house is lovely and comfortable. The kitchen provided all that we needed. The bathrooms are spacious. Showering in the jetted tub was somewhat difficult to enter and exit because of the depth of the tub. We moved a chair nearby to hold onto for safety, but a grab-bar would have been helpful. A second bedside surface in the master bedroom for book, phone,etc. would have been appreciated. Overall, our stay was quite enjoyable and certainly gave some opportunities to explore the uniqueness of Ishee designs and materials. All those wood surfaces must require considerable upkeep.

Great property, nice and quiet, close to everything we needed and we did well fishing!
