Quiet Ocean Stay

This was a spacious, and well equipped home to stay near the beach for our family. Comfortably accommodated 6 of us; 3 adults, 1 teen, and 2 children. Plenty of games and entertainment, and the hosts were very communicative and pleasant to deal with. Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet community and close proximity to the beach. Would like to return and stay again!

Great vacation home. Everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. Without a doubt this is the most well stocked home we’ve stayed in. We highly recommend the Flipflop and will definitely stay here again.

Truly special place

We had an amazing stay at Flip Flop Hideaway! The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and the house was comfy for our family. We have stayed at many rentals and never have visited one that was so thoroughly stocked. The hosts really go above and beyond to make you comfortable. FYI - you will want to stop and get groceries on your way in as there is not a grocery store nearby. We realized we forgot coffee and were worried about it but when we got to the house the host had a variety for us to use thankfully! The walk to the beach was short and easy for our five year old. The beach is beautiful - calm water, soft sand, no crowds and amazing sunsets. We brought two dogs and it wasn’t stressful as the yard is fenced in (besides the waterline - we brought a long lead to keep our youngest dog out of the water). We enjoyed the fire pit every night under the stars and coffee every morning on the peaceful porch. The kids caught a few fish but, after talking to the neighbors, they mentioned the fishing is really good starting in April. If you’re looking for an off the grid, peaceful family vacation this house and area is perfect!

We loved our time at this location. Quiet and friendly neighborhood. Even without being on the shore you can hear the waves at night and the night sky was beautiful without light pollution. Would highly recommend staying at any home owned and maintained by this couple.

This was our second trip to the flip flop hideaway.

We love this house and area. The neighbors are friendly, it has cool white squirrels and the beach is very close. We made some excellent dinners and caught some fish. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to the hurricane. The hosts went out of their way help and refund some of the fees. I hope to return soon. You can’t go wrong staying here!

A great house

We stayed at the Flip-Flop Hideaway. It was minutes to the beach we loved the location! The house was wonder full: loved the covered car port kept the car cool all day! The house had tons of games, books, CDs and some great records that you can play on the record player, football, beach chart /toys/and chairs, yard games like can jam and corn hole, a karaoke machine, and a ping pong table. So fun and cool! Lots of bathrooms and showers! It was just my family of 4 and it felt huge but homey with all the bedrooms just off the Livingroom the kids felt safe and close to us but slept happy in their own rooms. Our Host was wonderful (Thank you Lisa!) Loved the tiki hut near by and we eat second year in a row at Trident -delicious! My favorite activity is always the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab. A great house for our trip.

We stayed at the flip flop hideaway for a week in March. The house was furnished with every thing you could want. Perfectly clean and in a great location. The beach is only about a five minute walk. There were many times while on the beach there was not another person for as far as I could see. Good neighbors, good restaurants, nice house in a great location. What more can you ask for. We hope to return.

Awesome house for a family

As the family and I drove down the island to the house we immediately got a safe and comforting feeling. We noticed that there wasn't much to attract a lot of unnecessary traffic to the area which was perfect for our secluded vacation. Once entering the house we found that it was very clean and thought out for a vacation property. There were many games for the kids to enjoy as well as the rest of the family to spend quality time together. This house had all of the amenities you can think of from the pots, pans and seasonings to the bathroom supplies we always seem to forget when traveling. Although the fishing in the area was not as enjoyable as we would have hoped, the family and I had an absolute blast with the ping pong table and other outdoor games provided with the rental. 5 stars

Flip flopping fun; rain or shine

Our stay at this lovely bungalow was exactly what we needed. A short block and a half walk to the beach access path and beautiful views of both sun rise and sunsets are in store for Flip Flop visitors. The house was so clean, nicely decorated and well organized that it felt like home from the moment we made it through the threshold. The high ceilings and open floor plan as well as the large enclosed patio make this place feel huge. The well-shaded, fenced-in backyard and boat dock were nice places to stroll and sit in the mornings and in the afternoon. Even after the weather got wet, being in the house was a great place to get “stuck”; playing ping pong or darts on the patio or watching movies or playing video games on one of the four large Roku TVs was also a great option. Stacks of board games, shelves of all sorts of books and even a karaoke machine were available if any of the other included distractions weren’t of interest. Cooking was also an easy pleasure in the well- stocked and well-organized kitchen I really hope we can stay here again.

Great family getaway!

Alligator Point is an amazing destination and Flip Flop Hideaway compliments it so well! We were able to enjoy the beach without the hassle of packing it all ourselves: 4 great beach chairs, a cart, floats, & an outdoor shower! Our family was never without entertainment- indoors or out. We loved the popcorn machine! Great hosts.

Overall great location. Close to beach. A 3 min walk to beach. House was extremely clean and cery well equipped. The canal in back with dock was great for fishing. The only thing that was not great, was the grass. It was a little tall for kiddos to play out in yard. Other than that, we would definitely recommend and stay again!

Welcome to Paradise

Flip Flop Hideaway definitely exceeded our expectations. The beach is only a 3 minute walk and is absolutely beautiful. There's a beach cart and chairs downstairs. Think we'll try Paddleboarding or Kayaking next time. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to make fun vacay meals. Just add food. And dinner on the back deck overlooking the canal is so peaceful. There's tons of stuff to do - Ping Pong, Foosball, corn hole, board games, Xbox & huge TVs for Movie night. The beds are plush, the sheets are silky and the house is so comfy & relaxing. Lisa & Brigham have truly thought of everything. Hubby said it feels like summer camp for adults. I totally agree.
