Spring Break 2024

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Jerry was very communicative, friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. He made the scheduling and payment process a breeze! Jerry let us know what was happening in the area as well as when something changed in the community. We had 4 adults and 3 small children during this stay. We had plenty of space and relaxation. We would definitely recommend Jerry and this property to anyone looking to get a quiet getaway with activities and shopping close by. We would definitely return to Jerry's property and stay again! We are already looking at the summer and fall dates!

Fantastic Getaway

The Tipsy Turtle is the best rental home we have stayed in yet. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and perfectly laid out. Jerry was incredibly communicative and kind. We cannot wait to visit again!

So happy we picked the Tipsy Turtle!

By far the best VRBO experience we've had! The pictures do not give this house justice - it looked like something out of a magazine and had everything we could possibly need...and such a great location!! We had never been to the area so we fully relied on their suggestions. Jerry, the owner was readily available to answer any questions from booking time throughout the entire stay. Everything from restaurants to beaches that had the best surfing & fishing, to what grocery stores to go to - they answered everything. We will definitely be booking again at The Tipsy Turtle!
