Perfect Beachfront Vacation

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. We had a group of 6 ages 4-70 and everyone had a wonderful time. Every day we all went for a long walk searching for shells, sea glass and shark teeth. My kids loved being able to do this with their grandparents. The beach was so easily accessible for everyone. Also, if my parents wanted to take a break inside or up on the deck, they were still able to watch the kids play on the beach. The views were breathtaking. The bedroom layout was great with plenty of space for all of us. We made family dinners most nights in the well-prepared kitchen. Both the property manager and owner were so kind and helpful. This house is set up perfectly to have the most enjoyable vacation.The location is wonderful. Beyond being beachfront, there are restaurants and a grocery store within a short driving distance. We went to St. Augustine (which was close and so fun) for a few meals out and to tour the fort. The house felt secluded and private, but not isolated.My parents are already planning another trip to this house because we all loved it so much!

Perfect

From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, everything was perfect. The house is just as it is described and pictured. It was tastefully decorated - not too much and not too little. The house itself is roomy and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. 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. I cannot stress enough how perfect this house is. THANK YOU for everything.

This home is spacious, and stunning. The ocean is steps away, and we enjoyed shelling and short walks. The homeowner thought of every amenity to get our stay started, even a generous gift bag.! Although the weather was a bit cool for us ( we live 4 hours South which is generally warmer)

Great location directly on the beach, Great House

The house is very comfortable, very well decorated, and very well equipped. You are directly on the beach. The beachfront is very private. Nothing but other private houses close by. Moonrises are spectacular. You are an easy 10–15-minute drive South into St Augustine and another easy 15-minute drive North into Ponte Vedra. Several Great waterfront restaurants close by. Plenty of easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Loved the location. Loved the House. Would go back again.

This Is The One

My, oh, my. This beach home is just that—A home, not an empty shell of a house. And what a beautiful home it is! We felt so at ease in this place, more so than any other beach house we’ve stayed in. I am a CLEAN FREAK, and this house met and exceeded my ridiculous standards. The cordless vacuum was so appreciated to vacuum the sand that can accumulate throughout the week. The beds were amazing—We all slept just like we were at home. Loved the rockers under the covered patio, the organization of the garage (and it didn’t stink like many beach home garages),the beautiful and unique decor, and the proximity to the beach (no long boardwalks). Yes, it has stairs. It’s a beach house! The guy that rated this house 8/10 just because of that isn’t being fair. It’s so lovely. Beth was so kind with her gift bag and cold drinks, that’s just so rare these days! We brought all our own beach toys/chairs/gear, but didn’t need to. They’ve got it all! And OMG the check out list? You’re not asked to do all the things you pay the cleaning service fee for. We treated this house just the way we would want someone to treat ours because it felt so cozy and you can feel how much love Beth pours into it. Book it, trust me.

Gorgeous, VERY clean, beautifully appointed, and the best views ever!

Upon entering the Tipsy Turtle, we were instantly relaxed and at peace. The owner thought of every single thing you can imagine! The kitchen is totally stocked, there are two sets of washers and dryers, tons of bath towels, and plenty of beach chairs, toys, towels, etc. There are multiple outdoor areas in which to relax and enjoy the ocean views/smells/sounds. We enjoyed the multiple outdoor dining areas, some in the sun, some completely shaded under cover! We will definitely return to this magical place. Literally steps to the beach from the decking & stairs. Amazing!

Beautiful ocean front home

This house was one of the nicest homes we’ve stayed in S Ponte Vedra Beach. It was decorated beautifully, spacious, well stocked, and super clean. The beds were luxurious and comfortable and my adult kids appreciated having two queen size beds instead of two twin beds in their room. I appreciated getting a welcome text from the owner, Beth and she had a welcome bag and cold drinks ready for us to enjoy. So sweet! We had a few rainy days, but didn’t stop us from enjoying the beach and Saint Augustine. My family had a great time and we definitely will be back.

Perfect "Stay"cation!

My husband and I were looking for a quiet get away close to home, and boy did we ever find it! While Ponte Vedra Beach is only 30 minutes from our home, we felt like we were on an exotic beach thousands of miles away. The property is on a very private area of South Ponte Vedra beach providing much needed relaxation with a gorgeous sunrise view of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and a stunning sunset view of the Guana Preserve to the west. This location was perfect for walks on the gorgeous beach right out of the back door and hikes in the natural preserve a short walk away. Due to turtles nesting, residences are required to have no exterior lighting on the beach side at night which allows for stunning night star gazing! The property was immaculately clean with luxurious bed linens as well as plenty of bathroom linens and beach towels. The kitchen is well appointed and the space is inviting and incredibly comfortable with tons of natural light and ocean views from every room. There really are too many wonderful details to mention here. Thank you, Kat, for being a wonderful host and answering all of our questions ahead of time as well as during our stay. Check in and check out instructions were detailed and provided in a timely manner. We look forward to future visits to Tipsy Turtle.
