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.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the turtle house. The house was warm and cozy, but also big enough for all of us to feel comfortable and not cramped. The house was also extremely close to the cute little ocean Springs Village and also Biloxi. We had a wonderful time. Will definitely stay here again.

The location is fantastic. It's really convenient, close to the beach and to downtown. It feels really secluded but isn't. It's a super cool place to stay!

This beautiful house is tucked back into the woods in such a way that you feel like you're in a forest when you look out the many windows. The Turtle house is actually one of the Ishee houses. These houses are almost the stuff of legend in Mississippi gulf coast lore and you shouldn't miss your chance to stay in one. We had a great time and will definitely be back to stay longer!

This property was precious. We loved the privacy of it. Very short jaunt to the beautiful beach. Was a little disappointed that the listing had jetted tubs but they were not operational. Overall was very pleased with it. Will definitely book again as we have family in the area.

Very comfortable and hidden away with lots of dense foliage makes for a private stay in an otherwise established neighborhood.

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.
