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

Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• Book your Cape Fear area rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
