You are LITERALLY steps away from the beach. As long as you bring your groceries, everything else you would need is right there. We did not leave the house but I know that there are nice restaurants somewhat close by. We had a small issue which was addressed immediately so communication is A.

The back deck stairs lead you right into the sand. Very private beach. Huge open kitchen that is VERY well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, prep knives that are actually sharp. We had 10 family members eating together with no issues. The garage was large enough for our Ford F150, plus my daughter's small SUV. Other family members parked on paved driveway area. Furnishing, bedding, beach chairs, towels were all very nice. You basically just need to bring your clothes and food. A well-kept property that we respectfully treated like our own. I spoke with owns due to an A/C issue, which they responded to immediately. Problem was out of their control but couldn't have asked for better customer service and attention. We will most definitely return and recommend to our friends. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4270974d-96a5-4575-9de0-1165cc102831-1748460855360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78f712aa-f540-4573-8241-0295444264a4-1748460868091.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f737c540-a1ca-4464-8e5c-11b17d69ef21-1748460876009.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7f9789d-e223-4f20-af48-3b0c54ccdd72-1748460889794.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cheryl M.

This is the most thoughtful home we have ever stayed in - the owner has taken careful consideration to make sure that you have everything you need. We enjoyed long walks on the beach and beautiful shells. We journeyed to Washington Oaks State Park and spent a lot of time right across the street at the preserve. The trails were amazing and were perfect for our 'cold weather' getaway (the weather ended up being very warm the whole week!). Owner is very responsive, the house is perfectly clean, view is incredible, Publix is right down the street - what more could you need for a great beach vacation?? :) Thank you very much to the owner for sharing this amazing home - we had a great trip! ##### Bradley F.

Our family greatly enjoyed staying at Tipsy Turtle! We were greeted with a lovely gift bag and a fridge with cold drinks. The house was spotless and had plenty of towels in the bathrooms as well as beach towels. There was an abundance of beach supplies
chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. We didn’t even need the things we brought. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed for making meals. We had dinner out at several of the recommended restaurants which we greatly enjoyed. Cap’s on the Water and Aunt Kate’s were our favorites. Be aware that this house has lots of stairs which is to be expected in a beach house, but this lovely home might be difficult for older adults and if the infant in our party had been more mobile I’d have been concerned about him taking a tumble down the stairs. Also be aware that the driveway is tight and it took some maneuvering to enter and exit with our SUV (Honda Pilot) and pulling onto A1-A can be tricky. One must be very cautious. However, the view from the living room and deck was exactly what we needed as we had one recovering from a medical incident and others who just needed to decompress! We spent long hours just watching the waves and soaking up the sun from the deck or on the beach. It was as though we had a private beach for the entire week. We all agreed we’d come back to this house again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18938607-ce88-4857-9d2f-43ab5ee03af2-1748133312126.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/273470ff-a0b3-477b-b402-34cecb340abe-1748133309819.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kathy N.
