(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 floor 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 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 enormous prep island, a convenient breakfast bar as well as stainless and integrated appliances. All three areas boast beach panoramas and access to a very sizable 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 cozy 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!

How to book the best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the rightrental:

• Start by having your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Tipsy Turtle delights with three floors of oceanfront luxury! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
