We love Tipsea Toes so much! My wife and I have been staying here for the past few years and it's an amazing spot. The house isn't too big and has a perfect pool to make the vacation extra special. iTrip is also great to work with. They are responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Our family vacation was wonderful at this quiet location. We were close enough to the action without all the noise. The backyard Oasis was wonderful to sit with coffee in the AM or relaxing in the afternoon while the kids enjoyed the pool.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Between 2.5 and 3 stars because of what I paid. I didn’t feel the value was there because I didn't believe anyone paid close attention to details prior to arrival or during our stay. Definitely memorable. *Location/Porch: Fantastic! You'll love both! *Back Patio: Loved it during the day, lacking at night with broken lights. *Fire Pit: No one guarantees the fire pit works. It didn’t for us. No follow-up from the property mgmt company. Later offered a 1.2% refund. We couldn’t agree on the details. *Shed: No one guarantees anything in here. The gas grill had one bent wheel and one broken off. Had to wobble it across decorative river rocks and into the yard. Flat tires on bikes. Surfboards ok. Beach chairs iffy.*Pool: Don’t know if this is guaranteed. Ask questions. Listing says the hot tub doesn’t work as you think--no heat, no jets. I was told the hot tub was acting “as an overflow for the pool. The pump is on a timer so when the timer goes off, the tub drains.” Good to know if you’re relaxing in the tub and wonder why all the water disappears. Pool wasn't clean (to me) and never saw pool cleaners. *Washer/Dryer: Looks new. Washer good. Put fewer clothes in the dryer. Set on high.*Kitchen/Living Areas/Bedrooms/Bathrooms: Good pics. Worked out pretty well.*Cleanliness: Ok. Looked like bed linens balled up in the closets. I hope they were extras, not leftovers. *Communication: Received quick replies to texts, just no resolutions or meaningful follow-up to concerns.
