About this property

Gulf View from living room!Gated resort on CSB. 2 pools,beach chairs & cart incl

Enter your dates and number of guests (plus any pets) for all-inclusive rates, and then book directly here!

With updated decor and an unbeatable location, it just doesn't get much better than Tipsy Turtle! This fantastic townhome is the perfect place for your beach vacation. Located in the popular, gated community of Barrier Dunes, this property has direct gulf views and is only steps away from the white sandy beach of Cape San Blas and the sparkling water of the Gulf. You will have a front row seat to the most spectacular sunsets of absolutely anywhere!

Tipsy Turtle has everything you need to feel at home and enjoy your stay. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this townhome comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests and 2 dogs and is the perfect size for most couples and single families. When you come in, you almost feel the upbeat energy and excitement of the new owners, who are thrilled for you to enjoy their new property!

When you walk up to the first floor, you immediately say, "Oh my gosh, this is SO nice!" The whole place feels new and inviting, beautiful and "beachy"! The living area is comfortable and welcoming with great furniture and a large flat screen TV. There is also a dining table with plenty of seating for everyone to eat together or play games. And before you really have a chance to look at anything else, the view out the sliding glass door catches your attention! You look out over the topical green space straight out to the Gulf! The roomy deck provides the perfect place to sit out, eat, drink, socialize, and enjoy the fantastic view!

Back inside, the kitchen is fully-stocked with everything you might need to prepare meals and eat in. There is a full-sized refrigerator with ice-maker, an electric stove, a microwave, and a dishwasher. There is also a k-cup style coffee maker, a crock pot, a toaster, a blender, plenty of cookware, bakeware, dishes, cutlery, and glassware.

Also on the first level is a bright and welcoming bedroom with a private balcony that enjoys the morning sun. This bedroom gives plenty of room for four people to sleep comfortably in a queen-over-queen bunk bed. There is a flat screen TV for streaming (but you need your own account), or you can bring your own Roku or Amazon Fire stick, or bring a gaming system to plug in and keep the kids entertained (please understand there is no cable TV). This bedroom provides a great place for them to hang out and simply be together and have fun.

Also on the first level is a full bathroom with a toilet, a tub/shower combination, and a brand new vanity. The bathroom is conveniently located between the kitchen and the bedroom.

Upstairs, you are greeted by a large and inviting master suite with a comfortable king-size bed and large flat screen TV. This private oasis offers an absolutely wonderful view of the Gulf with a private balcony to sit out with a cup of coffee or a drink to simply soak it all in. Off the bedroom is an open double vanity area, then there is a toilet and large walk-in tiled shower in a private en-suite bathroom. Also upstairs is a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer. The huge master suite offers plenty of space to unpack and settle in to fully enjoy this slice of paradise. (Please note, this is a typical Barrier Dunes unit and does not have a door on this bedroom.)

Tipsy Turtle has a great outdoor shower to rinse off when you come back from the beach. We provide four beach chairs and a cart to easily get your gear to the beach. You are right across the street from the two tennis/pickleball courts, as well as just steps from both the gulf front pool and the interior pool, which is next to the courts. The townhome has enough parking for two vehicles. Barrier Dunes is a great community for guests of all ages. The streets are safe for walking your dog as well as for your children or grandchildren to play or ride bikes.

Guests staying at least a week (7 nights) will enjoy a complimentary, custom-made beach bag – which is a personal gift from the property owner. They hope you will enjoy using it to carry your essentials to the beach each day, then take it home with you to use as a reusable grocery bag or however you see fit, and then bring it back with you to Tipsy Turtle on your next beach vacation.

We invite you to come to Cape San Blas and experience all of the amazing things this place has to offer. We hope Tipsy Turtle will be your perfect beach getaway time and time again!

Our second year in a row booking this unit. Location is great! The unit is well equipped! We love that it has 2 queen beds in the second bedroom. Cable Tv was great! Little things like the best beach supply closet of anywhere, hair dryer, spices and other provided kitchen items, etc! We hope to keep returning to this place!

Tipsy Turtle
Super cute townhouse. Really nice location within the neighborhood. The owners are very welcoming. I think the rug in the master could use a cleaning but otherwise it was clean and comfortable. I wasn’t a fan of the shower floor but that could be just me. The ac unit is a bit loud but we were not hot. The extra small stand alone unit in the master was nice. It would be nice to have totally separate units but I’m sure that’s on the owners wish list. Overall our stay was nice.

Tipsy Turtle for the WIN!
This condo if perfect for the family and dog. Walk off the back deck to a grassy area perfect for the pup. Short stroll to the beach and both pools. The beach and water are beautiful. I’m a sand snob and the Cape did not disappoint! Interior of the condo was lovely! We enjoyed the split level with the teens on the first floor and grownups upstairs. The master bedroom did not have a door which was odd but not a deal breaker. Condo has everything we needed! Even had dog bowls and pet towels for our furbaby. Plenty of beach items too: chairs, toys, boogie boards, floats, etc. This gated community doesn’t allow swimming in the pool after dusk which was disappointing as we love night swim. I’ve never booked a rental twice but I plan to stay here again! Well worth it! Thanks Carolyn for answering all my questions and accommodating our needs.

Spring break
Couldn’t have had a better time. Location of the property is great! Enjoyed coffee each morning looking at the gulf. My teenage granddaughters loved the queen bunk beds. However, we NEEDED more towels than 1 each. Towels are check, buy more. I brought an extra for each but still! We cooked a few meals. Would loved a meat thermometer. Plenty of other kitchen gadgets. Had zero issues with any problem of the unit.

Beautiful
Place was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. It had a decent view of the ocean, just like advertised. A very minor issue was the trim on the steps, especially with shoes on was a bit of a tripping hazard, the trim would grab the bottom of the shoe.. but like I said, it was very minor and we didn’t have our shoes on very often anyway. It would not keep me from renting it again. I highly recommend this unit. The dogs had toys, towels, etc waiting for them when we got there, it was extremely pet friendly as advertised. Overall, it was a great stay, great place to rent and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best Location in Barrier Dunes!
Absolutely fantastic vacation at The Tipsy Turtle! Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location within Barrier Dunes was perfect! Gorgeous views of the Gulf & sunsets, as well as super close proximity to the beach, both pools & directly across from the tennis courts. The townhome was super clean & very well stocked! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any kind of meal! We never needed to leave for anything other than groceries; we only ate out once! The ambiance is just like being at home and the furniture and beds were all very comfortable! Management company was great to work with and super easy to communicate with & were very timely in responding to us when we had a few questions! This is one of the best vacations we’ve had & would definitely come back again! If you’re considering The Tipsy Turtle, go on & book your reservation! You will LOVE it! Our kids have asked how soon we can come back!

Beautiful Getaway!
We absolutely loved our week in Cape San Blas! The Tipsy Turtle was a beautiful location in Barrier Dunes! We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on both the master bedroom deck and the one off the den. The den was decorated in a cheerful beachy decor and was very comfy! The kitchen had everything we needed but was smaller than we expected. The outside of the white kitchen trash can had not been cleaned off and there were fingerprints on the microwave. So I did a quick wipe down of the whole kitchen with Windex. The smaller bath for the second bedroom had terrible lighting, but I think they might still be updating it. It just needs some bright vanity lights over the mirror. Loved having the laundry room off the spacious master bedroom and bath! The convenience of getting to the beach was fantastic! The outside shower was very convenient. We met so many nice people and our dog had a blast getting so much attention and meeting other dogs! The sunsets at Cape San Blas are breathtaking! We loved seeing families/groups building bonfires on the beach while taking in the view! It was truly a laid back, relaxing week. Exactly what we needed! We will definitely be back!
