Why guests love it:
• Dog-friendly Ocean Sands location
• Private seasonal pool and hot tub
• Game room with pool table and bar area

Turtle Time lives up to its name. It invites families to slow down and enjoy vacation at a better pace. Start the day with coffee on the deck, pack up for the beach, return for lunch and pool time, and end the evening in the hot tub or game room.
The top-level living area is bright, casual, and comfortable, with room for the group to gather after beach and pool days. The kitchen is ready for full vacation weeks, from quick breakfasts and beach lunches to easy takeout and family dinners. The dining space, screened porch, and decks give everyone options for meals, games, and downtime.

The sleeping layout works well for families. The home includes king and queen bedrooms plus bunk-style sleeping for kids, cousins, or teens. The entry-level game room adds a second hangout space with a pool table and bar area, which is especially helpful on rainy days, hot afternoons, and relaxed evenings at home.

Outside, the private pool and hot tub make Turtle Time a strong choice for families who want more than just a place to sleep. Spend mornings on the sand, then return to your own pool for an afternoon swim. The hot tub is a welcome place to unwind after wild horse tours, shopping, mini golf, or a day trip down the Outer Banks.

The Ocean Sands location keeps guests close to Corolla beaches, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Corolla Pizza, Bacchus, Duck Donuts, Lighthouse Bagels, Outer Banks Boil Company, TimBuck II, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Whalehead, and the famous northern 4x4 beaches. The nearest listed seasonal lifeguard area for this beach route is Seabird Way; lifeguard coverage can change, so guests should check current Corolla beach conditions before swimming.

Great Escapes helps arrival day feel easier. Beds are made before arrival, bath towels are provided, hand soap is placed at every sink, and a starter welcome basket helps guests settle in. Turtle Time is a comfortable, practical Corolla rental for families who want beach access, pool time, dog-friendly convenience, and plenty to do nearby.

We stayed for two weeks at Turtle Time! It was an amazing vacation. The pool and hot tub were great and the rooms were perfect sized and the beds were comfortable! Porch and decks also were a great place to hang out! We loved the house and it’s on a culdesac, and it’s a nice quiet spot!
