The Turtle House: A Hidden Getaway In Old Ocean Springs
Welcome to Turtle House, a unique Carroll B. Ishee designed home nestled in the woods near East Beach in Ocean Springs. With its angular roof lines, large expanses of glass, different floor levels and decks on three sides, the Turtle House invites guests to be attune to nature. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath house offers a peaceful retreat yet is close to East Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore, USM-Gulf Coast Research Laboratory and downtown Ocean Springs, a place that has received many national accolades for its livability and beauty. With the decks and back yard, the property is secure for children and pets. The house has room to sleep 6, but plenty of interior and exterior space for entertaining, including an outdoor grill and wet bar. Located on a paved dead-end street, there is enough parking for even the Cruisers. The home is very comfortable for couples and families, and we love pets.

Short stay
It is fine. It is very dated and needs new furnishing.
This property was precious. We loved the privacy of it. Very short jaunt to the beautiful beach. Was a little disappointed that the listing had jetted tubs but they were not operational. Overall was very pleased with it. Will definitely book again as we have family in the area.
It's a really cool house nestled in a beautiful wooded space. It's not easily walkable to downtown, but would be easily bikeable. The outdoor space would a great place to have a party.
Great property in a good location. Love that it was so private and woodsy. Spent a lot of time outside on the deck. Also loved all the windows in the den.
Nice location for our family. Quiet. I was able to walk to the beach and take our pup for a long walk. We look forward to our next trip to the turtle house!
This was such a cozy & comfortable house. Great location-so quiet & peaceful. Easy access to everything we wanted to see & do. Would highly recommend.
