Great week at the beach!

Barrier Dunes is a great spot. We will absolutely return again. The Tipsy Turtle was a good, solid condo rental for my kids and I. Plenty of space, perfect spot for easy beach and pool access and beautiful views off the back porch. The neighborhood is super friendly and felt very safe. The kids and I loved our week at the beach here. Only one small complaint - the beds aren't the most comfortable and deff bring your own pillows.

Great location but unit needs a deep cleaning

The location is wonderful! Literally steps from the beach. The “resort amenities” are very dated. The unit is in desperate need a deep clean and better sheets.

Our second year in a row booking this unit. Location is great! The unit is well equipped! We love that it has 2 queen beds in the second bedroom. Cable Tv was great! Little things like the best beach supply closet of anywhere, hair dryer, spices and other provided kitchen items, etc! We hope to keep returning to this place!

Tipsy Turtle

Super cute townhouse. Really nice location within the neighborhood. The owners are very welcoming. I think the rug in the master could use a cleaning but otherwise it was clean and comfortable. I wasn’t a fan of the shower floor but that could be just me. The ac unit is a bit loud but we were not hot. The extra small stand alone unit in the master was nice. It would be nice to have totally separate units but I’m sure that’s on the owners wish list. Overall our stay was nice.

Spring break

Couldn’t have had a better time. Location of the property is great! Enjoyed coffee each morning looking at the gulf. My teenage granddaughters loved the queen bunk beds. However, we NEEDED more towels than 1 each. Towels are check, buy more. I brought an extra for each but still! We cooked a few meals. Would loved a meat thermometer. Plenty of other kitchen gadgets. Had zero issues with any problem of the unit.

Beautiful

Place was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. It had a decent view of the ocean, just like advertised. A very minor issue was the trim on the steps, especially with shoes on was a bit of a tripping hazard, the trim would grab the bottom of the shoe.. but like I said, it was very minor and we didn’t have our shoes on very often anyway. It would not keep me from renting it again. I highly recommend this unit. The dogs had toys, towels, etc waiting for them when we got there, it was extremely pet friendly as advertised. Overall, it was a great stay, great place to rent and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Tipsy Turtle for the WIN!

This condo if perfect for the family and dog. Walk off the back deck to a grassy area perfect for the pup. Short stroll to the beach and both pools. The beach and water are beautiful. I’m a sand snob and the Cape did not disappoint! Interior of the condo was lovely! We enjoyed the split level with the teens on the first floor and grownups upstairs. The master bedroom did not have a door which was odd but not a deal breaker. Condo has everything we needed! Even had dog bowls and pet towels for our furbaby. Plenty of beach items too: chairs, toys, boogie boards, floats, etc. This gated community doesn’t allow swimming in the pool after dusk which was disappointing as we love night swim. I’ve never booked a rental twice but I plan to stay here again! Well worth it! Thanks Carolyn for answering all my questions and accommodating our needs.

Best Location in Barrier Dunes!

Absolutely fantastic vacation at The Tipsy Turtle! Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location within Barrier Dunes was perfect! Gorgeous views of the Gulf & sunsets, as well as super close proximity to the beach, both pools & directly across from the tennis courts. The townhome was super clean & very well stocked! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any kind of meal! We never needed to leave for anything other than groceries; we only ate out once! The ambiance is just like being at home and the furniture and beds were all very comfortable! Management company was great to work with and super easy to communicate with & were very timely in responding to us when we had a few questions! This is one of the best vacations we’ve had & would definitely come back again! If you’re considering The Tipsy Turtle, go on & book your reservation! You will LOVE it! Our kids have asked how soon we can come back!
