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.

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.

Excellent communication with the host from the beginning. This quirky old Florida house has been nicely renovated with lots of love and fun! Perfect home for families and couples who enjoy games and music. Karaoke machine, record player, games, and a fun game room on the lower level. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard. One of the best stocked homes I have rented. Soaps, shampoos, coffee, snacks, and even popcorn. Just a short walk to the beach.

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!

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.

I loved how fully stocked the kitchen is! Made cooking meals for the family a breeze. The dining table is large enough for family dinners and board games. Two blocks walk away from the beach solves the parking issue :) The units caretakers make huge strides to make sure every detail is taken care of. Our family of 10 felt spaced out and relaxed.will love to come back again!

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.

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!
