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.

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)

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.

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.

Steps of the beach!

Very large, open house that is literately steps from the ocean. The back deck stairs lead you right into the sand. Very private beach. Huge open kitchen that is VERY well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, prep knives that are actually sharp. We had 10 family members eating together with no issues. The garage was large enough for our Ford F150, plus my daughter's small SUV. Other family members parked on paved driveway area. Furnishing, bedding, beach chairs, towels were all very nice. You basically just need to bring your clothes and food. A well-kept property that we respectfully treated like our own. I spoke with owns due to an A/C issue, which they responded to immediately. Problem was out of their control but couldn't have asked for better customer service and attention. We will most definitely return and recommend to our friends.

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.

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. The house has anything you could possibly need for a beach vacation. Not one single complaint. My family would definitely stay again!
