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.

This is the second year that we have stayed at the Tipsy Turtle. Our suggestions from last year were addressed. Nice, comfy new furniture in living room. Great location to the beach. Once the landscape re-grows the road noise will improve.

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!

Marty, we're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay! A clean house and proximity to the beach are certainly key ingredients for a wonderful vacation. If you ever plan to visit again, we'd love to host you!
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!

Amazing!
This place was great to stay! Steps to the beach and could come back to enjoy the pool. Loved the proximity to eats and shops as you could walk everywhere! Loved watching the dolphins from the front patio! Our family loved it!

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!
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!
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.

Lindsay, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed the home, kitchen, pool, and nearby restaurants. We hope to host you again sometime in the future!
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.

Hi Soli,
Thank you for the great review of Tipsy Turtle! We look forward to you staying with us again!
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!

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🌴

Hi Walden,
Thank you for the great review of Tipsy Turtle! We appreciate your feedback and kind words. Can't wait to have you back soon!
Great location and view! Responsive to A/C issue which was repaired the same day. Living room furniture needs to be cleaned and a few appliances in kitchen in need of maintenance. Wish ceiling fan on front porch had been working

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and view, and that our team was able to quickly resolve the A/C issue. We truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the living room furniture and kitchen appliances, and we’ll address these to ensure future stays are even more comfortable. We’re also sorry the ceiling fan on the front porch wasn’t working—it’s something we’ll take a look at. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience next time!
Overall, the home was great! We could have used more pots and pans in the kitchen and wished the TV on the back porch would’ve worked. I would’ve liked some extra blankets as it got very chilly at night since it was December. The view from the front patio and living room was amazing! I just wish we could have heard the ocean instead of all the traffic noise.

Kim,
Thank you for your review on Tipsy Turtle! We are so glad that you enjoyed yourself. During your stay, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you or provide to you, we will always do our best to accommodate your needs. Please come see us again soon!
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.

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.
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.

Joseph,
Thank you so kindly for your feedback, we always love to know how we can improve and assist for your future stays on AMI. Our records indicate that you reported a pool heat issue on December 9th, and that we sent out one of our trusted pool companies out to take a look the same day. They had concluded that due to the ambient temperature, the heater struggled a little but they got it back up and running! We were happy to attend to your call so quickly, and will be happy to have you back here soon on AMI.
