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.

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.

Perfect "Stay"cation!
My husband and I were looking for a quiet get away close to home, and boy did we ever find it! While Ponte Vedra Beach is only 30 minutes from our home, we felt like we were on an exotic beach thousands of miles away. The property is on a very private area of South Ponte Vedra beach providing much needed relaxation with a gorgeous sunrise view of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and a stunning sunset view of the Guana Preserve to the west. This location was perfect for walks on the gorgeous beach right out of the back door and hikes in the natural preserve a short walk away. Due to turtles nesting, residences are required to have no exterior lighting on the beach side at night which allows for stunning night star gazing! The property was immaculately clean with luxurious bed linens as well as plenty of bathroom linens and beach towels. The kitchen is well appointed and the space is inviting and incredibly comfortable with tons of natural light and ocean views from every room. There really are too many wonderful details to mention here. Thank you, Kat, for being a wonderful host and answering all of our questions ahead of time as well as during our stay. Check in and check out instructions were detailed and provided in a timely manner. We look forward to future visits to Tipsy Turtle.

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.

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!

Birthday with family
Everyone in our group enjoyed the beach house! It was so convenient to walk to the beach and be able to rinse of before entering the house. The house itself was clean and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. There were a lot of bathroom towels, more than I've ever seen at a rental, which was great! They also had beach towels, most were small, and plenty of beach chairs. We brought our own tent and beach lounge chairs. The master shower was large and it had good water pressure. The view from the deck was so close to the water that you didn't feel the need to be on the beach every day if you didn't feel like it, and it had plenty of seating on it for our party of 5. The only things I would change were the shades/curtains on the windows that needed to be closed every night due to the turtles, and opened every morning for the view. The shades were very slow to open and there were a lot of windows, 12-14 on the main floor alone, so it took a little time every day to open/close all of them, but I'm used to a 1-touch remote for my shades at home. The other item to be aware of is that the garage only fits small vehicles due to the steep driveway, the driveway isn't as big as it looks in the pictures, and in the kitchen there were no empty cabinets for groceries or an island. A good point though, several of us commented on what great quality the pillows were, from the bed pillows to the ones in the family room, super comfy and yet supportive. It's the little things that count!
