About this property

Tipsy Turtle is an inviting ground-floor apartment in Portland, Dorset, set close to the beach and offering an enclosed courtyard alongside a thoughtfully arranged open-plan living space. Ideal for couples seeking a coastal escape, this apartment brings together simplicity and practicality, creating an easy base for time by the sea. Step inside to find the heart of the home in the open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining, and sitting spaces blend seamlessly. This layout encourages a natural rhythm to your stay, from preparing meals to settling in for relaxed evenings. The double bedroom sits just off the main living space, providing a welcoming place to retreat, while the wet room with its walk-in shower offers a modern and functional finish.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard becomes a private spot to enjoy time outdoors, whether starting the day with breakfast in the fresh air or unwinding later on. With the beach within easy reach, it is easy to structure your days around the shoreline, returning to the apartment whenever you need a break from the sea breeze or sun. Portland itself offers plenty to explore, with the striking Portland Bill Lighthouse marking the southern tip and offering views across the Jurassic Coast. Chesil Beach provides a unique setting for long walks along its sweeping shingle ridge, while Church Ope Cove offers a quieter place to enjoy the coastline.

For a wider choice of attractions, nearby Weymouth presents a lively seaside atmosphere, with its sandy beach, historic harbour, and esplanade. Whether you are drawn by dramatic coastal scenery or classic seaside days, Tipsy Turtle is well placed for discovering this distinctive part of Dorset.

Portland is a rugged seaside town resting just south of Weymouth on the Dorset coast.

Dining options include a mix of coastal cafés and local eateries, while you can stock up on essentials at convenience stores and small supermarkets within the town. Just outside of Portland is the popular seaside town of Weymouth, where you can find further attractions and amenities such as Weymouth Beach, the harbour, Nothe Fort, and family-friendly attractions along the esplanade.
