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.

Moist but, thats to be expected. Seems like there may have been mice. Wish recycling bins were offered and tub jets worked. Some surfaces could have been cleaner. Overall it was what we needed. Thanks.

Cool house, great setting
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.

Love the property. Bummed out that the whirlpool tub was not up and running. Was really looking forward to that and chose the property based on that.

Great location
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.

Needs a little TLC
Charming little cottage, in some disrepair, lots of noise from the AC unit in the bedroom which kept us awake at night, no soap at all in the bathrooms, a little dingy and outlets/light switches out of operation everywhere. Had to go buy coffee for the machine, and then opening the little creamers (which were all spoiled and expired) and ended up disappointed that we didn't bring our own. All of that, and we still had a nice time in the natural surroundings and walking the beach front and downtown areas. Not in close proximity to any coffeshops or restaurants; on the outskirts of town in a run-down neighborhood. Wish the online listing would have been more accurate. Not for guests who prefer higher end comforts.
