Saltwater Pools
These pools produce water that feels softer to the touch. Contrary to popular belief, saltwater pools do contain chlorine, but the levels of it are lower and the way it's introduced into the water is different than in a chlorine pool. Instead of using chlorine tablets or sticks, salt is added directly to the water and a salt chlorine generator (also known as a saltwater chlorinator) converts the salt into chlorine.

You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. The minimum requirement for this home is no less than seven nights. The maximum occupancy is six.

This is the second year that we have stayed at the Tipsy Turtle. Our suggestions from last year were addressed. Nice, comfy new furniture in living room. Great location to the beach. Once the landscape re-grows the road noise will improve.

Spacious and really clean

Great place very close to beach. The house was large and spacious. The amenities were great and the location is perfect. The pool is very secluded but with little sun. The only detraction is that this property is right off the main road so there is some road noise. The rental agent is very responsive and we would stay here again!

Wonderful house!

My husband and I stayed at Tipsy Turtle along with our two adult children. We loved this house! The location was fantastic - just steps from the beach. The house was spotless and the management was extremely helpful and pleasant. We loved the heated pool especially since the weather wasn't as fantastic as we had hoped. Thank you for making our vacation so wonderful!

Excellent stay at Tipsy Turtle

Had a great time at the Tipsy Turtle. House was spotless on arrival. Everything was as pictured. Steps from the beach, with a view of the ocean from the kitchen/family room. Only downside was its by a busy street, which we one on the way in, and was not a deal breaker. We would stay here again.

The place is amazing. Great location and the pool is very convenient specially with kids. They can jump in and out from pool to breach and back. We had a very relaxing vacation thanks to Tipsy Turtle. The response time to all our request and concerns were very fast and handled quickly.

Beautiful home with a view

Overall, the home was great! We could have used more pots and pans in the kitchen and wished the TV on the back porch would’ve worked. I would’ve liked some extra blankets as it got very chilly at night since it was December. The view from the front patio and living room was amazing! I just wish we could have heard the ocean instead of all the traffic noise.

Beautiful house with easy access to beach

Great vacation house for our family of four. Beautifully decorated and beds comfortable. The massive master bathroom is attached to the room with 2 double beds. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat. Two minute walk to the ocean. Beach is beautiful. As every other review mentions, you are on the edge of a street that is very busy during the day. We have an 8 year old and almost 2 year old and it did not add stress to our vacation. Fountain of pool very smart addition to block some street noise. Great view of the ocean from front deck. We had a fantastic first vacation to AMI.

Beautiful house, steps to the beach

This house was gorgeous! The front patio was rather loud with all the traffic as stated in other reviews. The pool was ok. We had issues with the heater on the pool but management was attentive and came to address. Although it still didn’t get real warm for a early March stay. The backyard was nice except you really didn’t get any sunshine back there which may have contributed to the pool not being real warm. I’m sure this would be great on hot summer days in Florida. Thank befall very happy will recommend to others just knowing that about the outdoor space.

Not heated

Pool was not heated for the first three days. After having someone come out and look at it. It was about a day or so for the pool to reach 83F. The thermostat was only set to 71F for the first 3 days of our stay. Only about to use pool the last 3 1/2.
