Exceeded Expectations

This house exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was beautifully maintained, with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and plenty of space for our family to spread out. The location was ideal, close enough to the beach for a quick walk but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We will definitely be booking again!

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect getaway! The deck area made for the ultimate relaxation spot, and the home itself was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the living room was super cozy for movie nights. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and a quick drive to the boardwalk. iTrip’s communication was excellent, making check-in and check-out a breeze. We highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Good times at Tipsea Toes

This is my family's second year at Tipsea Toes; we chose to return after having such a great time there the previous year. All of our necessities, such as multiple bikes, boogie boards, gas and charcoal grills, corn hole, enormous Jenga, pool floats, beach gear, and much more, are in the garage. We have plenty of bath and pool towels, but our beds are the most crucial feature—COMFORTABLE ones. The deck has misters to keep cool in the sun, and the pool is simply wonderful. After a long day of swimming in the water, I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the glass gas firepit at night. In the evening, under gorgeous lights, we watched fireworks while lounging on the front porch. I would strongly advise planning a stay with Itrips. Communication was out of this world and our family was able to check in 3 hours early.

Backyard Oasis

The best thing about this property is the outdoor living space! The pool and patio furniture make you feel as though you're on a mini resort. It's a short walk to the beach so you can enjoy the ocean and sand. The best of both worlds!

Tipsea Toes

This house was perfect for our vacation. It was a short walk to the beach and everything we wanted to do was a short drive away. The house could use a little TLC and it would have been much better if the hot tub worked and the pool was heated. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Feels like Home!

I booked this house as a gift for Mother’s Day. Myself and my family stayed here for 5 days. We got to check in early and have loved the house every second! Everything is just as listed and you can’t beat the location. The backyard is your own private paradise. You feel like you’re on your own little island back there. Everything is great and iTrips is great with communication and answering any questions promptly. I was shocked (in a great way) by just how many amenities they had in the pool shed. It was even more than listed and great to have for use. We have felt right at home and would definitely stay here again when we come back in the future. Absolutely loved it. Cannot say enough good things! 🥰

Left early

Outside pool and deck really nice. House has issues. Left after the cockroach fell on my head while laying down in bed. House not clean and they need to replace ALL of those nasty rugs. No offer of a refund for time left on house. Just to be clear was not just one roach. Stop charging all that money for cleaning ! The money you pay these homes should be spotless and bug free!

Beach paradise

My family and I have stayed at several vacation rentals in Carolina Beach, I can honestly say by far this has been our best experience. Not only did we have a private pool, but we had a shed full of beach toys, bicycles, grill, and lots of other fun stuff. The house also had plenty of beach towels to go around. The house was perfect, including everything that our family needed on our stay. Upon arrival check-in was very easy and my favorite part was the little notes throughout the house to remind us of things. That made our stay so much easier. I can’t wait to vacation here again, thanks for the best stay ever.

Very Enjoyable Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was clean, well stocked, and beautiful. We loved hanging out at the fire pit at night. The house is in a great location and the communication with the hosts was awesome. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

Great Property - 5 stars!

Loved this property! We come to the area every year and this is by far our favorite property we stayed at. Clean, well stocked, spacious, so many amenities, great location, great communication with iTrip, and the list goes on! We can't get enough of Tipsea Toes. We loved nights by the fire pit, and morning walks to the beach. Although it was too cold for the pool this trip, we will be coming back during the summer and can't wait to enjoy the pool then! Highly recommend this place!

Stay over Christmas break.

I will start with the 1 positive. The house was a 5 minute walk to a very nice beach, so when the weather is warm it would be good. The house had a pool and "Hot Tub" the pool was clean but freezer and the hot tub was not hot. Yes it did say that in the advertise ment but it was buried in the description. Also the fire pit ran out of propane and the tank was not refilled . So for 2 nights we had not firepit/place. We were told that since its the holiday it would not get refilled, but the point is that it should have been checked before we checked in. The condition of the house was clean and ok.

Great Set Up

The house was cute. The pool area was awesome. Really liked that they had everything you needed for a fun day at the beach. The bedrooms were small except master. The carpets appeared dirty. The kitchen was mostly well equipped, however there was very few glasses and mugs for 6 grown ups. The one big issue I had with the house is I had to call management to report that none of the windows locked and I didn’t feel safe. They did send someone over to fix that. But The rental agent was not very pleasant to deal with and made me dumb.

Great little house

House was very clean and neat ..TV is awesome because of size and selection you have to choose from .. the pool and spa were clean and nice. .. it rained on Sunday in the morning but the covered porch and rocking chairs were nice to sit in and watch it.. kitchen is stocked well with plenty of room to sit .. it has a nice deck to sit and cook out.. however be aware you might see a palmetto bug or two but they are more scared of you than you are them as I found out ..these just come with the territory down at the beach so don’t let them scare you off they house is still very nice and clean.. the beach is close enough to walk to if you didn’t have four wheel drive to drive on the beach ..had a great time would rent it again ..
