The condo is absolutely fantastic. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much.
Le condo est parfait, très propre, bien décoré et surtout très bien équipé. Les enfants ont particulièrement apprécié les jouets qu'on y trouve (Lego) ainsi que les DVD, sans oublier les accessoires de plage. Le site est extraordinaire. Nous retournerions sans hésiter! Merci encore.

| We had a great time at Turtles Return! It was like a home away from home. Everything we needed was there and all the things we wanted were close by! Our 2 year old enjoyed the toys and movie selection as well did the adults! We even got to go to a local festival while we were there and had a blast! We hope to return the same time next year! |

| Scott and I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay in VA Beach. The condo was everything we had hoped for and more. The facility was immaculate and the staff was very pleasant to deal with. I liked the added security of the key pass to enter any door or elevator. The beach was just a stones throw away. We took advantage of that and walked everyday. The pool area was nice to relax in as well. The surrounding area is very easy to navigate around. One trip into town and we already knew our way around. We came without our kids for a little quiet time but are already checking our calendars and planning a return trip before the end of the year. This is a fabulous place to stay (and maybe even move to someday)! |

This is our second stay at Turtles Return, and it has become our favorite retreat. After a long trip across the country, how delightful to find everything as perfect as we remembered. The weather was excellent, and we enjoyed the off-season casualness and lack of crowds. Mike is a great host. Larry and Bobbie

Just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our time at Turtles' Return. I have stayed in a lot of condos and by far yours was the most well-equipped ever!! We had friends for dinner on Wed. nite and all cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. were all available [so nice]. The furnishings and decorations were well-appointed and comfortable. We like a place that is a little closer to the action, but as we always say "we can have fun in a elevator" .
The weather could have been better for the beach and the sanctuary, but we did get some use out of the pool and hot tub!
It will be nice when the restaurant is ready on premises. We went to dinner one nite at "Zest" down the street - food and service was excellent- try it sometime. Another nite we went to BAJA across the street from the complex. The food was just ok and the service was horrible.............but we let the waitress know in no uncertain terms that we were not happy!!
Thank you Mike for letting us use/rent your condo.

P.S. Nice selection of CD's!!

Thanks for the feedback Pat. We are all anxiously awaiting the on site restaurant – they are advertising a spring of 2009 opening. Regarding BAJA – I am sorry you had a bad experience – it’s usually a good choice for sunsets, drinks, and food, but it sounds like they may have had “end of season” help when you were there. We hope you will return for another visit to Turtles Return.

| We vacationed at this condo in August 2008 and we were really enjoyed our stay. We were very thrilled with the extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. We also were impressed with the pools, the gym, the facilities overall, and the location. Highly recommend! |

| We had a wonderful stay at Turtles Return. It was very comfortable with all of the stuff you miss when you are away from home! Very convenient beach access and we loved the items in the storage shed. The grandkids loved to get up in the morning and fo out on the patio to listen to the music and watch the people in the pool. We will be back for sure! |

This was our first time visiting Virginia Beach and we absolutely loved it. The condo "Turtles Return" was wonderful it is tastefully decorated, elegant but yet laid back, we felt so relaxed and confortable, we all enjoyed the games and movies, very nice touch. . .
We definately hope to come back during the summer to be able to enjoy the pools. This time around we got to take walks along the beach, and visit many attractions . . . just loved it!!! |

Thanks for the feedback. Many guests are choosing Turtles Return because it is the most unique property in Virginia and North Carolina – directly on the most pristine beach in Virginia with thousands of acres of open space and parks to the south and west, three pools, hot tub, two fantastic workout rooms, two small libraries, a game room, beautiful architecture, and much more. We decorated Turtles Return with casual elegance in mind – the result is a fantastic vacation destination.

| My roommate and I stayed in the condo during our Spring Break in March 2008. We wanted a nice place to relax and Turtle's Return was perfect! The condo is beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen was wonderful to have; we could have a nice breakfast in the condo before venturing out for the day. There are a variety of restaurants close by, but you don’t feel like you are in the middle of the touristy city. One afternoon we also enjoyed Handel’s ice cream which was AMAZING!! We enjoyed the beach and the serene atmosphere. While we were there, we visited the Virginia Aquarium, walked on the beach, and took a drive to Norfolk. We could not have asked for a better place to take a nice relaxing break. We definitely want to come back to Turtle’s Return, and would recommend this as a wonderful, beautiful, and relaxing vacation spot. |

| We really enjoyed our stay. The place was roomy, well appointed, and comfortable. The owner, Mike, was very helpful with a last minute reservation, with recommendations for restaurants, and with a minor issue with the internet connection. There are two nice bikes that we used to ride to the Back Bay refuge several times. We also used the fishing gear to "wet some line" on the nearby pier. All-in-all a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. |

The condo was extremely well-equipped and the
perfect location for a beach getaway. We were
there in winter and it was wonderfully quiet. The
beach is basically right there and because the site is
at the end of Sandpiper Road and next to the
wildlife refuge, I can imagine it is still fairly quiet in
summer compared to other places further north
which are closer to the main drag of Virginia Beach.
The condo is also within reach of important
amenities like the fairly new shopping centre,
situated a couple of miles inland and which is also
on route to Chesapeake, Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
The condo itself, once again, is indeed a luxury
apartment and the description on the website is
exact. It would be a perfect place to live and is
adequate for a family of three of four over a longer
period of time. We have one son and he throughly
enjoyed having a bedroom to himself. Furthermore,
he enjoyed being able to read the children's books
(supplied) and watch the various DVDs.
We will recommend Turtle's Return to all our
friends out West and in Europe, who may wish to
visit.
Thank you again for a marvellous location! |

| We were reluctant to leave after a week at Turtle's Return, but like the turtles we will be back. The condo was comfortable and well-appointed. Everything was new, so it gave us some ideas about what we would choose when we upgrade our own home. The grandkids, who live locally got to stay with us part of the time and really enjoyed the beach and the pool. The bikes, boogie boards,etc. in the storgage room were put to good use. We are already planning the dates for our next visit! |

| We just returned from an amazing week's stay & it was just even more beautiful than the pictures. While the decor was interesting and unique - no comfort was spared! Lovely to come home to after a day at the beach, pool or shopping! Try the she-crab soup across the street at Baja but watch out for their Bikini-Martinis! Private, secure - the staff at The Sanctuary was courteous and completely professional. You'll never want to leave - I would highly recommend a stay! |
