TipSea Turtle Retreat, island cottage with pool in the heart of Melbourne Beach!

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.

Family get away
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.

Spring Training Getaway Base
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.

50th Wedding Anniversary
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.

Perfect Place to Slow Down
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!

Perfect beach house
The house is very spacious, nicely decorated, big kitchen and well equipped. Beds are very comfortable, rooms are spacious. Perfect pool size. There is a nice kitchen/bar on the back yard. The walk to the beach is really short and easy to access
