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 supplied 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 striking 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!

Tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
  • In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
  • Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
  • Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

  • Select vacation dates and budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Tipsy Turtle: Warm and Inviting, Short Walk to the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
  • If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

  • Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
  • At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.

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.

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.
