Outside, a lushly landscaped yard greets you. It surrounds this exclusive getaway as well as its private access to Bald Head's premiere coastline-East Beach. Cross the roomy 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 sizable prep island, a convenient breakfast bar as well as stainless and integrated appliances. All three areas boast beach panoramas and access to a very enormous screened porch (with sitting and dining spaces) and a home-length sundeck with a grille. Just steps from the kitchen you'll also find the butler's pantry (with its own sink, refrigerator 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 oceanside gazebo with a hot tub.

Up half a flight of stairs is a comfortable landing providing comfortable chairs, sunshine-filled vistas 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 ideal space for reading, work or "me time"!

Close to the Shoals Club, the Conservancy and Cape Fear Station and providing support through WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, you'll be on tipsy with heady delight when you stay at Tipsy Turtle!

Tips to get the best Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Tipsy Turtle delights with three floors of oceanfront luxury! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
