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 enormous 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 impressive 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 multiple 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!
