This house was perfect for our family vacation! My husband and kids are big into fishing so having the dock and canal/bay access was perfect for us! There was a close public ramp to put our boat in and easy access to the beach. You could probably walk but you can also drive up the street and park to make it easier. The ping pong table was used the whole time we were there, all appliances worked amazing, very cold fridge, cold air even on the hottest days, plenty of linens and toiletries in case anything was forgotten. Everything was great and we are planning on booking again next year! Host was very friendly as well! No complaints here.

Nice cottage on alligator point, close to beach access with very quiet beaches and a few great restaurants within a 30 minute drive. If you need a break from the fast paced every day to day, stay on alligator point. It was a great place but it does have a musty odor so I couldn’t give it a 5 star. The owners were very helpful with our stay.

We had a great stay at Flip Flop Hideaway. As others mentioned, house was very clean and easy walk to beach. Weather was very good for our trip, but the house had plenty of room and plenty of things to do for entertainment even if we’d had rain days. We had five adults and a three year old, and never felt crowded. Lisa was a very nice and very responsive host.

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!

We stayed here for my daughter's birthday and had the best time. The house is walking distance to the beach. The beds are super comfy, and my kids loved the bunk bed. They have everything you could need to keep yourself entertained and relax with. If you're looking for fun beach weekend this js definitely the place to be.

This place is in a great location, quick to get to the beach and easy access to the bay via the canal. We will definitely be back. The kitchen is stocked with good quaility cookware and appliances. The “take one, leave one” library was a hit, as were the board games! The beach is beautiful, 10/10 would recommend.

Great location Great vacation rental

Property was perfect for our family, the property owners go over and beyond to make your stay comfortable and all of the little extras provided were a nice bonus. The property is within walking distance of the public access to beach. Beach is very nice, away from all of the hustle which made it the perfect place for our family to enjoy. The house is on the canal which gave access to fishing right off the dock.

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.
