Great house in perfect location. We stayed for a wedding at King and Prince. Amazing porch and flexibility in the space.

Guest Review

Tipsy Turtle is perfect for two families. And little touches were most appreciated like the beach chairs.

Guest Review

by Tammy
The Tipsy Turtle was in a great location. It was close to restaurants and only a mile from the village. The beach was only a block or so away, within walking distance. The place was extremely clean and we very much enjoyed our stay. Loved having the apartment upstairs. It was a huge benefit traveling with other adults. Hosts were extremely helpful and responded timely to any questions. Highly recommend.

This house was perfect for us during the time we needed it most. We booked last-minute and communicated with the host in advance to make sure it would work for us. The host responded quickly, and we were so glad to get this place quickly! It was such a find! It was clean inside, had EVERYTHING we needed- including a gas grill which was great for us. It took us about 3 minutes to walk to the beach. The walk itself was very easy as well. The entire area was walkable and accessible and the house was right on the main street that you needed to go to for beach access. We definitely want to come back here for another beach getaway.

We were so glad to find this place during a very low time for us. It was exactly what we needed. The great space abs being so close to the beach was PERFECT.
