Enveloped in a sea of green from the surrounding trees and just a short walk down the street from the more traditional sea of blue, Tipsy Turtle waits to welcome your family on their next beach vacation. Thoughtfully decorated and arranged, you’ll immediately relax when you enter this inviting space.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a comfortable central living room with a huge flatscreen TV where you can gather to appreciate a favorite movie. A second entrance into a roomy utility and laundry room makes coming off the beach with sandy swimsuits a breeze, and the full bath with step-in shower just off this room adds to the convenience.

Around the corner, you’ll find the primary bedroom, complete with a queen bed, flat screen TV and even an electric fireplace for added warmth- or romance! Across the living room, a hall connects the other two bedrooms. The second bath, complete with another step-in shower, is located between these two spaces. Both of these bedrooms also feature their own TV along with ceiling fans for your comfort. One room has a traditional queen bed, and the other has a queen daybed along with a queen trundle.

It's impossible to miss the unique fish staircase that accepts access to the upper loft. Upstairs, you’ll find an open concept living area including a second living room, a dining area and a cheerful kitchen. Here the adults can savor the big game on an additional TV while the little ones watch cartoons downstairs, still within earshot. The sturdy main dining table seats eight, with space for another two at the intimate window table. Playful fish scale tile, gleaming wood counters and a deep farmhouse sink with gingham curtains beneath create an inspiring kitchen space with everything you need to prepare traditional recipes or the catch of the day. A half bath is available on this level for your convenience.

Walk through the French doors, where the elevated deck provides furnishings for dining or calming, as well as an electric grille for outdoor cooking. The whispering oak leaves help to shade the space for much of the day, but an umbrella is included as well. On the lower level, in the backyard, you’ll find an additional modest outdoor table for two- the ideal spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee while listening to the birds singing overhead.

Located in the Yaupon Beach area on a peaceful neighborhood street, this handsome home sports an ideal location for exploring the island. From your driveway, less than a five-min. walk south down the road will take you to the nearest beach access, as well as numerous dining options and the Oak Island Fishing Pier. You can also walk to a number of area stores, eateries and nightlife to the north. Plus, you’re close to the Barbee Bridge for day trips to historic Southport or the many attractions in Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. Whether your ideal beach vacation involves exploring local eateries after a day full of shopping or simply lying on the sand and listening to the waves crash, Tipsy Turtle is the ideal home port for your crew’s adventure!

Wrightsville Beach vacation rental tips:

Finding the best rental value:

  • In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
  • Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

  • First, have your group decide on a vacation week and a budget.
  • Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Tipsy Turtle: Warm and Inviting, Short Walk to the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
  • Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your contract.
  • Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

  • Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
  • Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
  • Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
