Slow down the pace and set your clocks to island time when you spend your next Outer Banks vacation at Turtle's Cove. This four-bedroom oceanside and lakefront home in the community of Ocean Sands is just a short walk to the beach via a beautiful tree-lined, lakeside path. The lakefront lot is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac for privacy and seclusion. Nature lovers will appreciate the trail through the woods and around the lake. Get a panoramic, bird's eye view of the lake and the entire neighborhood from the rooftop deck.
Turtle's Cove features a reverse floorplan, with the main living area on the top level. An open-concept layout, vaulted ceilings, and plenty of natural light make this an ideal space for entertaining and spending quality time with family and friends. The spacious kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and provides additional seating at the bar. After dinner, relax in the hot tub on the mid-level covered deck overlooking the lake.
Centrally located in Corolla, Turtle's Cove is approximately one mile from conveniences such as grocery stores, specialty food markets, gas stations, and a coffee shop, plus beach gear stores and rentals. Nearby dining and takeout services include Sun Fish Grill, Sundogs, and Sooey's BBQ. For the ultimate retail therapy session, Timbuck II Shopping Village is located just a mile north, where you'll find favorites such as The Cotton Gin, The Cottage Shop, and Gray's. The village also features some of Corolla's most popular restaurants including Mike Dianna's Grill Room and La Dolce Vita. After dinner, head over to Big Buck's for ice cream, followed by a round of mini-golf and go-carts.

"This was our first off-season vacation at the beach. Turtles Cove provided everything we (two other couples and us) needed for a relaxing October stay at the beach. The lake house was clean and spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and also included large patio spaces both enclosed and open air. Location was ideal with a 5-minute walk to the ocean and overlooking a picturesque lagoon full of wildlife. Surrounding communities were very quaint especially the nearby Historic Corolla Village and charming shops and restaurants at Timbuktu to the north and the Town of Duck to the south. We wouldn't hesitate to do it again. "

"Property was nicer than we expected east walk to beach for adults & teenagers. Lots of stuff included kayaks, bike & games. TV & Internet did not work well. I would recommend trying to fix the Wi-Fi because it caused the tv issues."

"Well maintained spacious home- evident that the owners care about the guests renting as evidenced by having most everything you could need for a family vacation. By far- one of the best properties we have stayed in!"

"Great Stay - We were very happy with this place. Having the lake so close was a nice touch and the kids loved seeing all of the turtles. Being in the corner offered more privacy.
The house was clean with plenty of room for 7 people.
I would recommend this place and would stay again."

"The home is very comfortable and well decorated. The hot tub, bikes and kayaks are a nice touch. Bring your own beach chairs, only camp style chairs are provided. This is the furthest we’ve ever stayed from the beach and I’m not sure we would do it again. If you have toddlers or elderly people, I would suggest finding someplace closer unless you’re fine driving them and getting sand in your car."

"The house was very clean with plenty of room for 7 people. We enjoyed being on a corner lot as this added some privacy. The lake view was great and the number of turtles there was amazing. I would recommend."

"We had a fabulous week at Turtle`s Cove! The house had everything we needed and was very spacious and clean, with lots of deck/outdoor areas. The location was really private and secluded right on the pond. The only thing that wasn`t perfect was the WiFi.. We ran into trouble watching tv & shows due to the spotty internet, but everything else was truly amazing and we would love to come back."

"my family and I occupied the Turtles Cove house. We could not have been more satisfied with the vacation rental. The house was in perfect condition. Perfect in so many ways. Excellent proximity to the ocean, cleanliness, house hold accommodations, privacy, hot tub, quality construction of house, a lake, beautiful roof top lounge area……. The list is so long! Every aspect of this vacation was top quality. Its as if the owner/rental company catered to every one of my family’s needs on a personal level. Truly a fantastic rental and my wife and I will definitely be booking the house for a long time to come. Kayaks, bikes, sharp kitchen knives!, video games. The list could go for days."

"My husband, three daughters, aged 16, 13, and 8 and two of their friends had the best time at Turtle`s Cove. The house was so welcoming, comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped which was so helpful as we made most of our meals at home. We loved being right on the lake and having that view from the deck and the kids loved being able to go see the turtles every day. The kayaks were perfectly stored close to the lake making it quick and simple to take a kayak out on the lake. It was so convenient to have such a short walk to the beach. While on the walking trail to the beach, we often heard frogs or spotted little crabs along the way. I didn`t get a chance but my kids often took short bike rides around the neighborhood in the evening or would bring out cornhole to play in the yard. Having 4 teens and and an 8 yearly to feed non-stop, it was helpful being such a short drive to the grocery store and I especially loved being to close to Seaside Farm Market. We loved that the house is a bit tucked away and private. I would definitely recommend staying at Turtle`s cove and would love to stay here again with my family."

"We enjoyed this beautiful home named Turtle’s Cove, which overlooks a lovely lake & walking path. The beach is just a short walk away. We enjoyed playing outdoor games with our children & grandchildren in the shaded yard area. The home is in great condition and well-equipped with everything you need. Our family enjoyed using the bikes and kayaks that were included with the rental. We also enjoyed relaxing on the multiple decks and the hot tub with a lake view. The gas grill was great for our cookouts. The home is very close to grocery stores, restaurants & shopping areas. A wonderful vacation home! We will be back!"
