The Tipsea Turtle 401 | Harbor Views | Large Balcony | Heated Pool | Walk to Beach
The Tipsea Turtle - East Pass 401 - Destin, FL vacation rental **Neighboring building is under construction. May be some noise.**
The Tipsea Turtle, located at the tip of Holiday Isle, is full of brand-new beachy furnishings and offers a safe and fun place for your family to visit! You ll feel comfy and cozy with all the new furnishings from head-to-toe! Some of our favorite perks of this condo are the views of the Destin pass where you can see fishing boats going in and out, a huge outdoor balcony, and plenty of space for the whole family to settle in and relax.
Your living area offers a sleeper sofa, large TV and amazing sitting chairs. There s a full-size kitchen with everything that you need to make a homemade meal (no consumables), while a 4 seater high-top table and barstools offer ample space for dining. There s even a full-size washer and dryer hidden in the entryway so you don t have to leave the condo to knock out any laundry!
The master suite hosts a dreamy king size bed, large closet, and smart TV, and your guest suite has 2 brand new built-in queen bunk beds (plus a closet)! The guest room also has 2 separate smart TVs making this a kiddo s dreamland! Please note that cable service is only provided in the living room. Your ensuite master bathroom has dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and toilet; the guest bath in the hallway has a shower/tub combo, single vanity, and toilet.
Families most love this condo for it s high-end vibe, space for game night, and all the little fine touches the Owners have left behind: super cute wall mural, Keurig and regular coffee maker, toaster oven, beach closet with chairs and an umbrella, and so much more! Come hang with us at The Tipsea Turtle!
One of the main draws to this condo is the lively vibe and action across the harbor. You can catch fishing boats going in and out each day, and beware of the pirate ship that may shoot a cannon or two as they drift by for buried treasure (no real cannons, but you will hear the BOOM!) During season, you ll find East Pass is the perfect spot to catch the weekly fireworks, presented by Harborwalk Village. With so much action day and night, it s important to remember that you may experience some tunes and good vibes audible late into the night from Destin s nightlife.
Holiday Isle is the perfect place to take a walk, run, or bike ride - with 2.5 miles of paved trails, palm trees, and salty air.
East Pass has access to a private, protected beach inlet facing the Destin Pass. You may also walk over to Norriego Point where you ll find sandy beaches and little coves for swimming! If you re looking for a Gulf-front beach, Henderson Beach State Park and James Lee Park by the Crab Trap restaurant are both short drives away.

Manager/Staff were great with communication. The condo was extremely clean which is something important to us. We loved everything about it. The queen bunk beds were a hit with our 7 year old. Can’t say enough good things about the management team and the condo.

The condo was amazing! Location Amazing. Beach access..not so amazing. The walk to the beach was exhausting. Lots of construction going on. I am sure once everything is done, beach access will be much better.

Just what we expected
This property was everything we expected based on the pictures and the description. It is nicely decorated, updated, and filled with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. It was also impeccably cleaned! It is easily accessible and having an assigned parking space in the garage is a plus. Check in was easy and we were contacted by the management via a phone call the day we arrived and later on through text messages. There is a private enclosed sandy beach area available for the property. There is a lovely pool area and a public beach a short walk down the street. Overall, we had a great stay.

We absolutely loved this condo and the customer service that came with it. Our host was always very fast and responsive and it made the stay smooth. The beach situation is not ideal and the construction next door was very loud. If you don’t mind driving a short distance to a beach the condo would be perfect. We have a 2 year old so that made the beach situation a little more difficult. Pool and views were amazing! And so was the condo so once the construction is done next door I could see it being a very peaceful stay!

Suoer clean and modern apartment with ocean view. Lovely decorations and furniture. Well stocked!
Enjoyed the apartment tremendously. Lots of amenities! Used beach chairs and umbrella every day, but had to drive 15mins to get to a better beach. Cannot walk out into water directly from condominiums.

Tipsy Turtle was a wonderful retreat!
This condo is very nicely updated with all the amenities you need. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Though we spent majority of our time out at the beach, it felt like a retreat coming back to the condo every night. We also appreciated the proximity to the beaches and privacy of entering the property. We intend to come back next year.

My husband and I and our 3 granddaughters had a wonderful stay at the Tipsea Turtle! It was very clean, close to the pool and the beach, as well as restaurants and shopping. I loved having a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The only complaint I would have is not being able to park a golf cart on the property. Although we did rent a golf cart at Wet, just down the road and they allowed us to park it there. Overall, a great and safe place to stay!
