Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat

When you enter this newly renovated, luxury, oceanfront, penthouse condo on the Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head border, the view of the Atlantic Ocean is breathtaking. Turtle Tides is the ultimate getaway – ideal for a couple looking to relax and enjoy the gorgeous oceanfront that this retreat has to offer. Perfectly located with direct beach access, this oceanfront gem is just steps away from multitudes of dining options that are sure to tempt your taste buds. Not to be overlooked is the beautiful, in-ground swimming pool just outside your door and an eclectic mix of shops and family-friendly events for all to enjoy within a few minutes drive from Turtle Tides. Unwind as you start each day watching the sunrise from the balcony while sipping your coffee, watch the dolphins frolic and play, listen to the seagulls overhead and at the end of a fun-filled day drift off to sleep listening to the waves gently washing upon the shore.

Turtle Tides can comfortably sleep two (one queen bed). The kitchen is stocked with appliances and cooking utensils that are sure to please any short-order cook or chef.

Pack your bags and get ready for paradise and leave the rest to us!

Great couples get away
If you need that get away weekend for two, you will be hard pressed to find a better place. My wife and I celebrated our 37 years together and this place was perfect for the two of us. Clean and from the deck the view was fantastic.

Loved our stay at Turtle Tides! Everything was 100% as advertised and Gene is an excellent host—every single one of his recommendations was great. You cannot beat being literally steps from the beach.

Excellent vacation spot
My wife and I stayed in this vacation rental while we ran the OBX marathon. Absolutely beautiful get away spot. Perfectly located for great dining. While recovering from the race we enjoyed watching movies with the ocean in view from the couch. Definitely a great place to relax and enjoy the outer banks.

The property was beautiful and the view was spectacular! Our stay was relaxing and just what we wanted it to be. Neighbors were few but friendly and the penthouse was all we could ask for. Being in our late 60's the steps gave us a run for our money, but we got our daily excercise! We would rent it again.

The property was beautiful, well decorated in adorable turtles, right on the ocean, very private balcony, beautiful views, fireplace. We had everything we needed. The owner communicated with us to make sure it was up to 5 star level and it was! Easy access. Perfect OBX location. We highly recommend this property. It was our first VRBO.

Spectacular Experience
The condo was beautifully decorated, clean, and the views were spectacular. The whole rental process from start to finish was seamless. The sheets and towels that were provided were an added bonus! The only thing I would suggest to enhance the experience would be either a larger bed (we are tall) or a more comfortable mattress. We will definitely be going back to stay there again!

Awesome vacation!
Our vacation was everything I had hoped for. The condo was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and clean. The views from the deck are amazing. We watched dolphins swimming in the ocean from our deck. Gene, the host, did an excellent job of preparing us for our visit by providing clear instructions, great recommendations and was available if we needed anything. This was my first time using VRBO as we always used hotels on vacation. I am sold, the warm home environment and thoughtful preparation of the condo beats a hotel. We will be back!

Turtle Tides Lifts The Human Spirit
Had a great time at Turtle Tides and we will definitely return. The beach was just steps away from the property. Conveniently located with privacy and quiet. Watched the sunrise most mornings from the property deck. Great place for a couple. For those wanting a change of pace from the ocean, the on site pool is a great addition. Unit is nicely furnished and decorated. Kitchen well equipped. Grocery stores and shopping nearby. Communication with Gene was excellent.
