Description Description

A vacation to this recently renovated home in Topsail Island will put you and your family "On Turtle Time"! Located on the second row near the heart of Surf City, On Turtle Time has everything you need to help life slow down and enjoy the company of family and friends.

This nicely decorated home with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and coastal themes throughout will put you at ease and is sure to send you home well rested. Start outside of the home on the front deck that includes a nice sun deck and a covered porch. Regardless of the weather, spend time outside on the outdoor furniture and take it all in. Head inside to the comfortable living room with plush couches and a large flat screen TV. Steps away is the dining area with seating for eight and the well-stocked kitchen complete with a large center island with seating for three. You'll have everything you need to prepare fresh seafood dinners here. The whole family will gather to help and to eat. Doesn't food taste better when the family dines, laughs and talks together?

We thoroughly enjoy staying at this property. It is well maintained and furnished. On Turtle Time is conveniently located to the beach. The private beach access right across the street from the house is a great feature. This year the walkway did seem to be a bit overgrown and there are no longer stairs down to the beach due to sand building up along the dune. This buildup made it difficult for some members of our party to go to/from the beach. I have noticed in other places where this has happened along the dunes that new wooden stairs have been installed. Perhaps something to consider for next year. I recognize this is a shared private access and would need to be supported by those parties that own /share the access rights. Again a lovely home that we greatly appreciate the opportunity to occupy for our beach vacation

We love this house. The deck and furnishings extend the living space; great breezes on the covered porch. Easy access to the beach right across the street. Kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, plates, silverware and cooking utensils.

We have rented this property for about 5 years now and really enjoy it. The updates in 2019 were appreciated. Thank you for opening this home as a rental.

The first floor renovations - new flooring, carpet, paint and updated kitchen in this house were very nice. Great house and location. Master mattress not to our liking - too soft but otherwise house is a favorite of ours

Thank you Ward Realty. This is the 3rd year we have used your services and we had a great vacation. On Turtle Time is a great beach house and it served our family very well. The home is very comfortable and in an excellent location. The only improvement that I would make is the shower head on the outdoor shower has a leak that affects the water pressure. Very small issue and did not diminish enjoyment of a beautiful home.
Paul from Augusta, GA - Posted: 8/20/2018
We are glad you enjoyed your vacation at On turtle Time. We believe it is a great beach house, too! Thank you for letting us know about the shower - we will send someone right away to fix it.
