About this property

Tipsy Turtle delights with three floors of oceanfront luxury!

(5BR/5.5BA,3K,1Q,4Tw,SL12, 2 golf carts, Friday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM) Tipsy Turtle's three floors of oceanfront luxury dazzle with details like heart-of-pine flooring throughout, coffered and barreled ceilings, walls of French doors and, of course, awe-inspiring beach vistas.

Outside, a lushly landscaped yard greets you. It surrounds this exclusive retreat as well as its private access to Bald Head's premiere coastline-East Beach. Cross the spacious covered rocking-chair porch to enter this open-floor-plan gem. Inside to the left is a King bedroom with ensuite that also has two Twin beds. Straight ahead is the oversize, airy living space anchored by a decorative fireplace. Just beyond, the bright, generous dining room flows into the adjacent multi-chef gourmet kitchen. The latter features granite counters, a large prep island, a convenient breakfast bar as well as stainless and integrated appliances. All three areas boast beach panoramas and access to a very large screened porch (with sitting and dining spaces) and a house-length sundeck with a grill. Just steps from the kitchen you'll also find the butler's pantry (with its own sink, fridge and wine cooler), an ample pantry and a full laundry room. The deluxe King Owner's Suite on this level indulges inside and out-offering private access to a seaside gazebo with a hot tub.

Up half a flight of stairs is a cozy landing providing comfy chairs, sunshine-filled views and shelves of movies. Linger here for solitude or a nap!

Up another half flight is a second roomy living space that delights with ocean vistas and access to a waterfront balcony. Across from it is a second dining area-complete with a sink and mini bar-and access to a marsh-view balcony. There are three bedrooms on this level. They are an oceanfront King with private access to the hall full bath, an oceanfront Queen suite with a full ensuite bath and a Twin also with an ensuite.

Don't miss the home's top floor, just another half flight up. It showcases commanding shoreline panoramas, shelves stuffed with beach reads and is the perfect space for reading, work or "me time"!

Close to the Shoals Club, the Conservancy and Cape Fear Station, you'll be tipsy with heady delight when you stay at Tipsy Turtle!

Remember, with Wendy Wilmot Properties there are no surprise "add-on" expenses. Plus, our homes' rental charges include cleaning fees, damage insurance and our Property Manager Assistance Line, available 24/7...something you'll appreciate if your air conditioning goes out on the weekend or you get a golf cart flat after 5 PM.

June Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice property. Not sure why they removed the drapes. East facing master bedroom. No way to sleep in beyond sunrise. Maybe a January cleaning in the future.

Like Staying at a Very Wealthy andGenerous Relative’s Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Relaxing oceanfront vacation in a house that’s got everything you need. Just pack sunscreen! That said, for this rental price, house could use a good deep cleaning of upholstery and carpet, refreshing of area rugs and bedding, and lightening up of dated decorative items. Loved all the great books and movies!
