Sisters Christmas vacation

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)

We loved the house and so spacious. The views were amazing and great location to St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra. The location is like your very own private beach. We loved the isolation feeling.

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.

Second Stay - Outstanding

Stayed here twice and will definitely return. The house is clean, super-well stocked, and the location cannot be beat if you are looking for a quiet, laid-back beach experience. The property owner is communicative, responsive and very pleasant. Highly recommend the Tipsy Turtle.

Beautiful Views from Tipsy Turtle

Wonderful and relaxing. Only complaint, a lot of stairs. Not a place for Seniors. The view is fabulous and you have porches to take advantage of those gorgeous views. The home is beautiful and well equipped Thank you Tipsy Turtle for a great vacation. H&E

Thanksgiving 2023

The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving getaway. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds, linens and towels top notch and plentiful. A lovely welcome bag from the owner was a nice touch. Step off the deck onto the beach, truly a beautiful, oceanfront home.

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!

The house is amazing with incredible views! Walk right out the door to the beach. Beth was wonderful to work with and made us feel right at home even leaving a gift bag for our arrival.

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.

Slice of Heaven

The property was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The cleanliness of the property was what I appreciated the most! Every detail for comfort and relaxation was thought of. From the lovely, most thoughtful welcome basket of goodies and wine, to the spacious bedroom/bathrooms/open living room and easy access to the beach provided an amazing setting to celebrate my daughter's 2020 high school graduation during the pandemic. Our family appreciated Kat sharing her beautiful slice of heaven with us, and we hope to visit the property again next year! Many thanks, The Jackson Family

A perfect getaway!

This is the most thoughtful home we have ever stayed in - the owner has taken careful consideration to make sure that you have everything you need. We enjoyed long walks on the beach and beautiful shells. We journeyed to Washington Oaks State Park and spent a lot of time right across the street at the preserve. The trails were amazing and were perfect for our 'cold weather' getaway (the weather ended up being very warm the whole week!). Owner is very responsive, the house is perfectly clean, view is incredible, Publix is right down the street - what more could you need for a great beach vacation?? :) Thank you very much to the owner for sharing this amazing home - we had a great trip!
