Come enjoy staying in the heart of Destin at "Tip'Sea Turtle"

**We cannot stress enough for all potential guests to read our listing & rules in full detail before booking, to ensure our place is satisfactory for your needs. While we have created a budget friendly, fresh, upbeat space inside, there are some limitations that are beyond our control. We understand that our home is not for everyone & want our guests to have the best experience when choosing to book with us**

Where You'll Sleep:

Here's what it's like to stay at "Tip'Sea Turtle"....

When you arrive, you'll walk right in to the living room that boasts a comfortable commercial grade queen sleeper sofa & a fun printed accent chair for lounging. While we don't have a traditional dining table, guests can enjoy breakfast bar seating for meals or a workspace. With a full wall of sliding glass doors encompassing the living room the natural light is incredible! We've added a brand new Smart Tv with Cox Cable offered for our guests convenience. Guests can feel free to login to their own media (Netflix, etc) while traveling as well-we just ask that guests logout at departure.

The kitchen area has an open concept to the living room for enjoying your meals and time together. We've stocked this kitchen with a refrigerator (with ice maker), dishwasher, electric stovetop, and a large toaster oven. PLEASE know that we do NOT have a standard oven, it is a cooktop ONLY. We also have dishes, pots & pans, silverware, utensils, crockpot, blender, and a traditional coffee maker & Keurig! If you plan to cook during your trip, we encourage you to bring along any spices, condiments, & oils you may need as we do not provide any perishable or non perishable items. We have an easy to use high chair, cutlery, cups, and plastic dishes for our tiny travelers as well!

Directly off the living area you can find the bedroom with a cozy Serta King bed with an abundance of pillows for a comfortable nights sleep. A pack and play is in the condo for all families with little ones traveling-one less item to pack! A smart tv here is perfect for relaxing in bed watching your favorite shows at the end of the day. The closet stores two twin memory foam mattresses that can be brought out (with linens) if needed for sleeping accommodations.

The bathroom offers a standup shower, soft towels, and plenty of space to get ready in. We've designed this space with the comforts of home & not a cramped & cold hotel feel!

Our laundry room offers guests the convenience of a stackable washer and dryer for use during your stay. No need to visit the laundromat!

Guest Access:
A few important things to keep in mind:
-Due to this being a residential complex, noise ordinances are at 10pm sharp. We do not permit excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances at any time.
-While we do host groups 25 years or younger at our discretion, we must be notified before your confirmed booking. We do not host one night bookings for ages 25 and younger at any time.
-Smoking is not permitted on the balcony or near the building at any time.
-Any stay that a house trained pet will be included in MUST be disclosed when booking, as a pet fee of $50 is required. We do not accept more than 2 dogs, and pets must be crated when unattended and cleaned up after inside and out. Pets are not permitted on furniture at any time. ADA recognized service animals are not charged a pet fee, but ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are still subject to pet fee. False information regarding a service animal is against the law in our state, so we appreciate your honesty in this matter.
-We are NOT beachfront, you can't see the beach, you can't stick your toes in the sand from the front door, and you do have to get in your vehicle to drive to the PUBLIC beach access that is 3/4 mile from our condo. We do not have a gated or private beach access at this location.
-This is a mixed community with residential & short term guests alike. While the gated community itself is a "community in transition" with updates to the exterior being improved steadily, we do not have control over any "look" of the exterior of our condo. We have gone above & beyond to create a beautiful & cozy space INSIDE for our guests enjoyment!

PLEASE read our house rules in detail before booking. We take time to put important information here that we need each guest to take into consideration when booking our home. While not all items listed may apply to your stay, we host guests of various group compositions so must list all rules that could apply to a trip. Thank you for your understanding!

Short and nice, easy access!

Place is a cozy place in the community near the beaches and airport. We were able to get in and out easily and everything is updated and clean. There is som humidity from the beaches that can mess up stuff. It seems like they take pretty good care of it!

Fell short of expectations

Refrigerator didnt work properly the entire month. We couldn't complain because we found out 2 days after getting there that the previous renters were evicted when they complained. Balcony looks over a trashy parking lot with tow trucks in & out day & night. Microwave is too small to even fit a plate in. Toaster oven door doesn't close. Half of the closet space was being used to store a bed. Condo is ok for 3 or 4 but not 6. Only 2 of 3 pools in service. We would not stay again.

Disappointing

This property is okay for a few days but longer term, such as snowbird, is not good. We booked for 29 days. From day one the refrigerator did not work properly. The manager got us a smaller temporary one while the other was being fixed. After three weeks we were still dealing with a refrigerator that would barely hold a weeks groceries for two. The manager told us the owner would not pay for a replacement and he would get us another refrigerator. After three weeks we told the manager we were not happy and that would be reflected in our review. His response was to evict us immediately. In writing and in person. He altered the rental agreement to end the contract. He pounded on the door and told us to be out in one hour. We are a couple in our 70’s and were quite astounded. When we tried to engage the manager in conversation he would not listen and just kept yelling louder at us. He called the police. We did as well. We packed and left to get out of this traumatic situation. We should be refunded the 7 days we have paid for.

Best Place in Florida

This was a really pretty condo. It was small but feels so open and nicely decorated. The balcony had the view of a palm tree and further to the left, you could see all the city lights. Close to the beach and to restaurants, grocery stores (Walmart, etc), and souvenir shops around. Place was very clean when my family walked into the condo. 10/10

Palm Tree

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet, family friendly, and in the perfect area. The property was clean and comfortable. I never figured out how to turn the balcony light on. Then there was the palm tree. A little eye sore, but I think if it was pruned it wouldn't be bad. Overall a GREAT stay, and we will definitely return.
