Flip Flops Family Vacation July 8 thru July 15, 2023

We enjoyed our stay at Flip Flops very much. The house was very clean and decorated beautifully. My family likes a place to be clean so we very much appreciated that. There was plenty of room for the 9 adults and two children. And the dining/living/kitchen area was very nice and large enough to easily accommodate all of us. The distance to the beach was only a short walk or you could use the golf cart which we did rent and shuttled our beach stuff back and forth. Very good restaurants nearby with great seafood. Enjoyed our vacation very much with all our immediate family and Flip Flops was a very important part of that experience. The pool was very clean and nice. We liked the privacy of our own pool. Hope we can stay at Flip Flops sometime in the future. Also, Cathy was a very kind and gracious host and answered all our questions very promptly. She made our reservation experience very easy. Thank uou Cathy.

Flip Flops was a great house for our large family vacation. Each group had their own room/bathroom and the kids loved the bunk room. The balconies were so nice to do some reading and chatting. The pool was great and we used it multiple times per day. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We could easily walk or take a couple golf cart trips to carry our things if needed.

Garden City Beach Area

This was a very nice location and house. The house was very nice and lived up to all of the information in the listing. We were able to make the short walk to the beach access or could take the golf cart we rented from the owner. We were fine with our location but if you wanted to be closer to the heart of Myrtle Beach and it's attractions you were about a 30 minute drive depending on traffic. We did drive there a few times but there is also enough food/shopping/and some entertainment within the Garden City area too. Overall a wonderful family vacation.

We had a fantastic week. The process from booking to checking in to communication with the owner was great. House was setup very nice, close enough to beach to walk, or use the golf cart.

I had never used VRBO before and was nervous about it, but Cathy was great to work with and the property was ideal for our family of 8 adults and 7 children ranging from 2 (celebrated her birthday on the beach) to 7 years old. We rented the golf cart, which really added to the convenience, especially for exploring the area. We cooked and ate in most meals—plenty of room! The beverage coolers were a great touch too. Loved the pool! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Nice property that is very close to the beach. The optional golf cart was handy for my wife and the small children to use back and forth to the beach. There was ample room for our party of 7 adults and 2 small children. I had a couple of questions after our arrival and within an hour the nearby caretaker had addressed them. That is a great feature of this property.
