About this cottage rental

New to the market, the TipSea Turtle Retreat is a completely remodeled 1930's pool home with elements of eclectic character. Location Location Location!!
Park your car once you arrive to TTR and you won't need it until you have to leave the island. We have a new rear gate access to plaza shops, restaurants and grocery store steps away. Walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, library, park, tennis courts, Indian River Lagoon, amazing sunsets, fishing pier, bait shop, surf shop, historic landmarks and much more all with in 3 blocks. Locals refer to this area as the "Golden Triangle" because it is the only neighborhood you do not have to cross A1A to get to the beach:) You are about 300ft to the beach, turtles and surf! The home was designed for vacationers in mind with 4 of the bedrooms having their own brand new on-suite bathrooms. We also have our own pool with plenty of outdoor lounge space to enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Stroll to the beach with your morning coffee to watch the spectacular Atlantic Ocean sunrises and waves crashing or in the evening stroll to the river to watch the beautiful sunsets! The variety of walkable restaurants are incredible, from casual ocean front dining at Sands on the Beach to more sophisticated, Dijon's Steak and Lobster House with a fabulous piano bar. We are excited to share this home with you to enjoy the peaceful small beach town atmosphere at your doorstep! No pets allowed for this property. We do have an option to heat the spa tub attached to the pool.

It was really good, plenty of room and everything furnished you could possibly need. Walk down street to beach is short about 100 yds down very low traffic road. Beach area was practically deserted and this was week before the 4th. Already talking about going back next year.

Wonderful bonding time with kids and grandkids! The pool was the star of the vacation. Cape Canaveral was also a hit! Dean was very responsive to our questions.

The Tipsea Turtle Retreat was awesome! It had everything you needed for a beach trip vacation right down to chairs and umbrellas. The pool made it nice to relax in after the beach. The house was fully stocked with everything you could imagine needing. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was just steps away from the beach and with the golf cart it made it easy to get around. The beachside market was filled with unique food and items. I would definitely recommend staying there.

The property was a great home base to stay at for our families as we came down to enjoy spring break and watch our boys play baseball. Had everything we could need. Clean, lots of spaces to congregate or get away for some privacy both in and outdoors. Stores and restaurants within steps out the back door and the beach within a block out the front. Thanks for everything.

It is clear that the owners of TipSea Turtle Retreat have thought of everything you might need - from beach towels to pool toys to puzzles and TVs in every room. The convenience of having bathrooms in nearly every room helped our large family of 11 (ages 2 to 71) feel like we had the space we needed. We loved being able to walk out the back gate to the local grocery store, Sunnyside Cafe for breakfast, the beach, and the Sand on the Beach restaurant to celebrate my parents’ 50th anniversary. Dean was attentive and incredibly helpful with any questions we had. We booked the house nearly a year and a half before our vacation and it was worth the wait.

5 🌟 isn’t enough for this perfect beachside retreat. We have been coming to Florida from central New York for a weeks vacation for over 10 years. This home & this location are the best we have ever experienced. Our family of 4 stayed here with 2 other families (total of 11) and we had plenty of room to be together as well as find quiet space if we needed to. We spent many hours sitting outside by the pool, under the outdoor kitchen structure, and by the outdoor fire pit. Even though this house is very close to the highway, it was very quiet. The house is nestled in the sweetest neighborhood and once our cars were parked we had little need to drive anywhere else. The market is darling and every meal we had at a restaurant within walking distance was excellent. The people in the neighborhood are so friendly. We met many locals while down at the beachside park playing sand volleyball or just swinging while overlooking the ocean. With spectacular sunrises at the beach and breathtakingly beautiful sunsets at the park by the river, we were surrounded by total peace and beauty. The park by the river within walking distance offers a great playground and sport courts. The piano bar directly across the street from there was amazing. Location location location AND a well equipped vacation home made our week stay in Florida memorable. We have little need to look for anywhere else to stay in Florida. We simply loved it at the Tipsy Turtle and hope to be back again!!!

we enjoyed our time in your house, everything you can think of was there, close to beach, shopping, all within walking distance. Very spacious as we had 11 60-year-olds, and we all had our own space. the beach is so close we got up at 3am to watch the space x launch from the beach. the outdoor kitchen area was a bonus for us. Definitely will consider your place again. Thank you!

This is absolutely all we wanted and more. It had everything we needed on hand, very short stroll to beach access, wonderful hangout areas all around the property and pool area, gated pool and child locks on gates and house doors, and so much more. Easy and quick communication with property owners. Local shops close by. All amenities needed to stay all week were provided (spices, cookware, grill, beach towels, totes, coolers, chairs, wagon, umbrella, etc.

We are originally from the area and needed additional space from the family home to stay with friends who were all coming in for an event. The house was perfect with lots of living space, clean and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, thoughtful amenities and only a five minute walk to the beach. For the price of two hotel rooms a night, we got five plus a great living space to cook, relax, visit and be together.

When my daughter first stumbled upon this house on VRBO, it seemed almost too good to be true, I thought surely there must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Dean and Patricia are the most thoughtful and gracious host. They went way beyond to make our stay here at TipSea Turtle Retreat comfortable and memorable. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had everything we needed to hit the beach and the kitchen was stocked with all things needed to make a great meal (cooking utensils, dinnerware, pots, pans, etc. - not food, lol) The place was very extremely clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk to the beach. It also has a private back access to the most amazing local market that sells fresh cut meat and so much more!! This was so handy when we wanted to throw a good steak on the outside grill. This private gate also provided access to many stores and restaurants in the area. The whole neighborhood was very quiet, everyone was friendly and we even made friends with the neighborhood cat. We are already planning our next trip back!!

Perfect place for a winter getaway….great spaces throughout, close to the beach, shops and restaurants, and drivable for excursions too! We particularly liked having our own pool, the kids loved the attic space and we loved the outdoor covered grill/picnic area!

Just a hundred yards forma beautiful stretch of beach and small beach town. Larger tow with tons of restaurants just a few miles up the road. Lots of space in the home to accommodate our group of 12. Comes with everything you need. Owners were super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay. The house is quick walk to the beach and nearby stores/restaurants. It had many more amenities than we even expected, from kitchen appliances to beach towels/gear/cooler. It's an old house but has been recently remodeled so it has a modern feel, and it easily accommodated our crew. The hosts were quick to reply to any questions or concerns. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family friendly location with many activities in walking distance such as beach, parks, and shops. House was remodeled with clean colors and textures. The extra bathrooms made for very inviting stay with a large family group. Kitchen is well equipped with long counters and an extra range made for efficient cooking for a large family of 12. An extra refrigerator and possibly dishwasher would have been my only recommended future additions.
