Summary: I was looking for quiet and rural, this was perfect.
Aundrea T. May 13, 2025 11:37:45 PM
Summary: Pros: The house, grounds, and location were fantastic. Super clean place with comfortable beds, spacious kitchen, and a comfy living room area. Upstairs and downstairs screened in porches with tons of fans were also a delight. Tons of tubes, floats, and kayaks available to use. Cons: There was a miscommunication with the hosts, which they eventually corrected but it was an awkward experience. Host didn’t provide many things a vacation rental typically does such as beach towels, coffee, charcoal, laundry sheets, and laundry soap. There was no shower caddy for the upstairs so our soap had to sit on the floor. Would have been nice to have some chairs available to bring down to the lower part of the dock and a table for the upper part. We were told we had access to the parks but it is not available to renters unless you are willing to paddle against the strong current. Other option is to have two vehicles so you can launch from the state park which cost money to enter and is very restrictive on what vessels can be used. Nice place, great location, but the hosts could do more to make the place feel more like a home and less like a no frills hotel.

Summary: This house/cabin is PERFECTLY situated on the Ichetucknee River. Clean, comfortable… huge screened in porches. It took our family about 2 and a half hours to paddle on the (available) kayaks upriver into the State Park and to the midpoint launch, and an hour to float/paddle back. The river access is… such a treat, and the deck out at the edge was much enjoyed. We saw a couple manatees swim by, even in April, which was a surprise.

Summary: We loved staying at the Tipsy Turtle. The Ichetucknee river is one of our favorite places to visit. We did multiple float, snorkel, & kayak/SUP trips all from the Tipsy Turtle dock or the TREPO parks. We'll definitely be coming back.
