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.

Spacious and really clean

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!

Amazing location

You know when you look at the listing pictures and you think sure they get the best angles and such it probably doesn’t really look like that. This place does. We were really impressed. It’s a beautiful house. We had plenty of beach towels, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook or bake with. It has 2 ovens if you need that! The dumb waiter was wonderful. My kids loved the pool. It does have lights at night. The walk to the beach was the best. Seriously. Pass 2 houses and you are at the access point. I could watch my 8 yr old from the front balcony walk out to meet her dad who would enjoy is coffee on the beach in the morning. Check in/out was super simple. I loved that they had a code for the door so you didn’t have to keep up with a key. It is near the main road and near the public beach access for manatee beach. Having access to the garage was a plus. There is a lot of traffic that passes but honestly it didn’t bother us. The island has 10 pm quiet time. If you planned to be on the front balcony a lot bring some noise cancelling headphones. Near the pool we never even thought about it. As last reviews mentioned the location was truly the best. The property manager was there if we needed anything. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely home near beach

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.

Great location, landscaping made it feel like an oasis.

There were a few maintenance and cleanliness items and the pool was cold. This kept me from giving the unit a total of 5 stars. The landscaping was beautiful and compensated for the almost constant road noise. With the beauty and sounds of the waterfall you almost didn't hear the traffic. Smart thinking there. The closeness to the beach was wonderful. The picture window facing the ocean is a nice touch. Being able to use the garage was an added bonus. Highly recommend this area of the island and the beautiful beaches if your family enjoys quality time together. Love how the island kind of forces you to slow down and relax and just enjoy the natural beauty. This rental is nice and has the potential to be a 5 out of 5 stars.

Perfect house in the perfect location!

The house is so beautiful and just a few feet from the beach access. The house already has pool floats & beach chairs available for use. Both bedrooms are upstairs as well as the half bath. The master has the average bathroom and the bedroom with two queens has the bathroom with the bath tub and two separate sinks. There is an extra fridge downstairs, there a dummy waiter so you don't have to carry your luggage up the stairs. The balconies attached to the bedrooms are connected and are attached to the staircase that leads to the pool. There is also a gate on the side of the house that goes straight to the back of the house. There is an outside shower to rinse off at after the pool or beach. The house comes with an alarm system on the balcony doors, back door leading to the pool, and on the front door. That was great because the house is huge and I was nervous. The house is on the corner of a main street so if you're outside at night you may hear cars passing. by, however there is a noise ordinance beginning at 10 PM every night. Because of this the waterfall at the pool will auto shut off to avoid putting off any noise. The location was great for us. It was close to all attractions we went to and also close to other cities we wanted to visit. This house was perfect for two couples. If you're thinking about it, BOOK THIS HOUSE!

Beautiful house, steps to the beach

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.

Beautiful home with a view

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.

Pandemic Vacation!

Best place to stay during a pandemic with your little family. We had all the amenities from home with a little extra as the beautiful Holmes Beach is just steps away! The house was very clean upon arrival, you can tell extra care was taken in disinfecting the home however being that we are in this COVID pandemic we decided to be extra safe and bring our own cleaning supplies such as Clorox wipes. We quickly wiped down all door handles, toilet handles, remote controls, just any and all touch points in the house before we freely let the kids wander around. I recommend that for anyone during these times. Better to be safe! Our stay was relaxing and peaceful as the neighborhood is nice and quiet. We were next to a busy street on one side of the house but the thick glass doors drowned that out mostly. We really enjoyed the pool area a lot, even did some night swimming with the beautiful night light the pool has!! I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to escape the stresses. This home provides a safe "bubble" you can stay in without worry. Restaurants are very close to this property as well as tours. Oh a plus to this home is the Dumb Waiter elevator to carry groceries up and down the home. That was a hidden gem!

Excellent stay at Tipsy Turtle

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.

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🌴

Nice stay

Very modern, clean and functional home. Great location for accessing the beach....just 2 houses over. Nice view of ocean from living room window. Quick service on a Sunday morning when there was a small issue with a fuse. My only complaint is that there is heavy traffic noise from the master bedroom and outside decks are not really useable due to traffic noise. With that in mind, it was still a great rental.

House was very clean and nice. Comfortable beds and furniture and more than enough room for our family of 4. So close to the beach, easy 2 minute walk with no busy roads to cross. The pool area was great for the kids and it was nice to be able to cook on the grill while being able to keep an eye on them. Had a great time and would definitely stay again.
