(5BR/5.5BA,3K,1Q,4Tw,SL12, 2 golf carts, Friday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM) Tipsy Turtle's three floors of oceanfront luxury dazzle with details like heart-of-pine floor throughout, coffered and barreled ceilings, walls of French doors and, of course, awe-inspiring beach vistas.

Outside, a lushly landscaped yard greets you. It surrounds this exclusive getaway as well as its private access to Bald Head's premiere coastline-East Beach. Cross the cavernous covered rocking-chair porch to enter this open-floor-plan gem. Inside to the left is a King bedroom with ensuite that also has two Twin beds. Straight ahead is the oversize, airy living space anchored by a decorative fireplace. Just beyond, the bright, generous dining room flows into the adjacent multi-chef gourmet kitchen. The latter features granite counters, a sizable prep island, a convenient breakfast bar as well as stainless and integrated appliances. All three areas boast beach panoramas and access to a very enormous screened porch (with sitting and dining spaces) and a home-length sundeck with a grille. Just steps from the kitchen you'll also find the butler's pantry (with its own sink, refrigerator and wine cooler), an ample pantry and a full laundry room. The deluxe King Owner's Suite on this level indulges inside and out-offering private access to a oceanside gazebo with a hot tub.

Up half a flight of stairs is a comfortable landing providing comfortable chairs, sunshine-filled vistas and shelves of movies. Linger here for solitude or a nap!

Up another half flight is a second roomy living space that delights with ocean vistas and access to a waterfront balcony. Across from it is a second dining area-complete with a sink and mini bar-and access to a marsh-view balcony. There are three bedrooms on this level. They are an oceanfront King with private access to the hall full bath, an oceanfront Queen suite with a full ensuite bath and a Twin also with an ensuite.

Don't miss the home's top floor, just another half flight up. It showcases commanding shoreline panoramas, shelves stuffed with beach reads and is the ideal space for reading, work or "me time"!

Close to the Shoals Club, the Conservancy and Cape Fear Station, you'll be tipsy with heady delight when you stay at Tipsy Turtle!

Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Tipsy Turtle delights with three floors of oceanfront luxury! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
