Saltwater Pools
These pools produce water that feels softer to the touch. Contrary to popular belief, saltwater pools do contain chlorine, but the levels of it are lower and the way it's introduced into the water is different than in a chlorine pool. Instead of using chlorine tablets or sticks, salt is added directly to the water and a salt chlorine generator (also known as a saltwater chlorinator) converts the salt into chlorine.

You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. The minimum requirement for this home is no less than seven nights. The maximum occupancy is six.

Spacious and really clean

Great place very close to beach. The house was large and spacious. The amenities were great and the location is perfect. The pool is very secluded but with little sun. The only detraction is that this property is right off the main road so there is some road noise. The rental agent is very responsive and we would stay here again!

Close to beach and amazing private pool!

Four of us stayed here for a week and had the best time. This property is INCREDIBLE! The house is spacious, nicely updated, and the private pool is a paradise all on its own. The proximity to the beach can’t be beat! We would stay here again!

Beautiful beach house.

Everything you need is there. Short walk to beach, great pool. Traffic noise was the only downside, just bring your noise canceling headphones for the front porch!

Lovely home near beach

Pretty home with nicely equipped kitchen 1/2 block from beach and 1 block from beach restaurant. Great pool. Comfortable beds. Sunny with a nice view. Be sure to bring or buy shampoo and dishwasher/clothes washer pods if you are going to do laundry or dishes.

Wonderful house!

My husband and I stayed at Tipsy Turtle along with our two adult children. We loved this house! The location was fantastic - just steps from the beach. The house was spotless and the management was extremely helpful and pleasant. We loved the heated pool especially since the weather wasn't as fantastic as we had hoped. Thank you for making our vacation so wonderful!

Beautiful house with easy access to beach

Great vacation house for our family of four. Beautifully decorated and beds comfortable. The massive master bathroom is attached to the room with 2 double beds. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat. Two minute walk to the ocean. Beach is beautiful. As every other review mentions, you are on the edge of a street that is very busy during the day. We have an 8 year old and almost 2 year old and it did not add stress to our vacation. Fountain of pool very smart addition to block some street noise. Great view of the ocean from front deck. We had a fantastic first vacation to AMI.

Excellent stay at Tipsy Turtle

Had a great time at the Tipsy Turtle. House was spotless on arrival. Everything was as pictured. Steps from the beach, with a view of the ocean from the kitchen/family room. Only downside was its by a busy street, which we one on the way in, and was not a deal breaker. We would stay here again.

Wonderful home with excellent location.

We loved everything about our stay, but the house could have been better provisioned with things like soap, laundry detergent, trash bags, and other household necessities. Make sure to stop by the store on your way!

Wonderful getaway

The place is amazing. Great location and the pool is very convenient specially with kids. They can jump in and out from pool to breach and back. We had a very relaxing vacation thanks to Tipsy Turtle. The response time to all our request and concerns were very fast and handled quickly. We will definitely be back here for our Anna Maria Island vacation in the future🌴

Spring Break

Beautiful home with a very private and well thought out area for entertaining surrounded by shrubbery and trees including a pool with waterfall, patio, deck, outdoor television and grill. We ran out of propane on the last night and the management company had one in place in less than an hour! We brought a mini-basketball hoop that the kids played with in the pool for hours. Home was very spacious and clean with large rooms. Some reviews had issues with the noise - however we sat outside on the porch for hours watching the foot and vehicle traffic along Gulf Drive as well as those visiting the adjacent Manatee Beach park. Look to the left and you're part of the action, look to the right and you see the Gulf. We rented a golf cart and had no issues taking that all around the island. Fantastic family spring break and the home was certainly part of it!

Beautiful house, steps to the beach

This house was gorgeous! The front patio was rather loud with all the traffic as stated in other reviews. The pool was ok. We had issues with the heater on the pool but management was attentive and came to address. Although it still didn’t get real warm for a early March stay. The backyard was nice except you really didn’t get any sunshine back there which may have contributed to the pool not being real warm. I’m sure this would be great on hot summer days in Florida. Thank befall very happy will recommend to others just knowing that about the outdoor space.

Not heated

Pool was not heated for the first three days. After having someone come out and look at it. It was about a day or so for the pool to reach 83F. The thermostat was only set to 71F for the first 3 days of our stay. Only about to use pool the last 3 1/2.

Fantastic

This property was everything we could have asked for. You have a view of the gulf from the front windows and deck and is only steps from the beach access. The pool is amazing and especially for our little one as he could hang out on the shallow end and play. Love having the TV and covered area to sit out at the pool as well and has a private feel with all the landscaping around. Dumb waiter is very helpful to haul luggage and groceries up to the main level. Plenty enough room for our family of four and had just about all the amenities you could ask for. Very close to grocery store and quick golf cart ride to many restaurants. In our view everything about this place outweighed any concern about road noise from neighboring street. All the pictures from the listing are exactly accurate as to what the home has to offer. Had a blast, can't wait to book again.
