Outside, a lushly landscaped yard greets you. It surrounds this exclusive retreat as well as its private access to Bald Head's premiere coastline-East Beach. Cross the spacious 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 large prep island, a convenient breakfast bar as well as stainless and integrated appliances. All three areas boast beach panoramas and access to a very large screened porch (with sitting and dining spaces) and a house-length sundeck with a grill. Just steps from the kitchen you'll also find the butler's pantry (with its own sink, fridge 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 seaside gazebo with a hot tub.
Up half a flight of stairs is a cozy landing providing comfy chairs, sunshine-filled views 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 perfect 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 tipsy with heady delight when you stay at Tipsy Turtle!

We had a wonderful stay at the Tipsy Turtle. Great Private Beach access, lots of indoor and outdoor communal space as well as private spots to escape and read. As usual, the family always congregates in the kitchen, and it was amazing room to prepare meals while connecting with others outside the kitchen area. All in all: great stay and really did have a wonderful time. Really appreciate the communication process from Wendy Wilmot's group. The check-in process and phone follow up correspondence was on point and appreciated. A suggestion: For anyone visiting the island for the first time, the initial approach to the Ferry Terminal, process for luggage drop off and how staff introduce themselves could be more thoughtful. We did not encounter any bad experiences, but the experience was similar to arriving in a foreign country train station. Thank you.
