  We were looking for something secluded and laid back, and this home absolutely fit the bill. The location is not typical beach, but that was ok by us. The kayaks provided were worth the price of admission on their own! Rooms are perfectly laid out for families, kitchen was functional and well stocked. The porch was the hotspot of the home. There was a lot of rain as we headed down, so the pool had quite a few leaves in it, but nothing that would keep us out of the water. The dogs had a wonderful time in the yard and swimming easily in a beautiful bay. Outdoor shower with HOT WATER (a luxury in my book) was probably a highlight for bathing the dogs and rinsing off ourselves, especially in April! Didn't hurt that there was some doggie shampoo already provided. Staying during the week meant a quiet and secluded little beach next door for us. Saturday we headed across the bay to Perdido Key and came back to quite a little set up of locals. Didn't bother us, but was unexpected. Understand that the lot is for sale, so that will likely change. Would be great if the area between the house and the bay was set up as a mini-beach with steps or a dock leading to the water. Beds and furnishings were wonderfully comfortable and we really felt we had the opportunity to unplug and relax. Will definitely be back, and appreciate the opportunity to spend time together!

  There were pros and cons to renting this house. First, it was a well decorated, comfortable house, and in a peaceful neighborhood setting. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. Being difficult to find a place that rents with pets, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was. Thanks for allowing pets! Since the weather was cool, we couldn't enjoy the pool, which looked very inviting, but did take the kayaks out a few times and enjoyed Perdido Bay. Very nice to have these available. The porch was a great place to read, have morning coffee and watch the sunrise or sunset. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Keith was very accommodating all along the reservation process and a pleasure to work with. Great place to kick back and relax, you feel that you are all alone as the yard has plenty of large trees lining it. It was quite a hike to drive to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, about 20-30 minutes. The location was the downside for us as we had to all go together when heading to the Orange Beach area. This might be desirable for those looking for a place away from it all. If we didn't have the teenagers along, it would have been nice for a couple or group of couples. The place didn't really lend itself to walks on the beach, as the shoreline area is lined with homes. Maybe it was just us, but we didn't want to infringe on what appeared to be neighboring private beach property. Would we rent it again? If we went with other adults and were looking for a relaxing place away from it all, yes. Having to all go together whenever we left the house was not ideal for us, but that's just how our family rolls, we like to go off on our own sometimes and don't like to spend alot of time on the road. Thanks for everything, Keith. It's a beautiful place.

  As a frequent user of the internet to rent vacation homes, I must say Flip Flop Repair Shop is by far our favorite and we can not wait to return as we felt like we truly have been on vacation! Everything was perfect! We took advantage of the kayaks and spent some time paddling out with the dolphins, which drove our dogs crazy back on shore (they too had a blast!) We were able to purchase incredible fresh seafood and the kitchen was perfect for a few family feasts. Keith - thank you again for the hospitality of you and your staff -- you helped us create a beautiful and memorable vacation. See you soon!!!

  We were so excited about staying at this place. It looked awesome in the pictures and sounded perfect according to description. When we got there, we noticed we seemed to be definitely away from everything and there were lots of pine trees instead of palm trees. The neighborhood was not that impressive. In fact it was depressing looking. When you turn to go down the driveway to the house, the view is very unattractive. The house itself is nice. There was a empty lot to right of house that was like a public beach area. It wasn't really a beach though. It was small and mostly growed up with grass and trees. It was definitely not appealing. The pool was green and not in proper working order. There was sand all in bottom of pool. The water was supposedly "safe" to swim in but you couldn't see the bottom of pool. The house on the inside of descent as far as clean goes. There was dust on all ceiling fans. The return vent in ceiling was covered in dust. The dishwasher didn't work properly so dishes were not getting cleaned well. The handle came off the stove while cooking. The drain in the shower was stopped up and would fill up with water while showering. The grill didn't work. We had a snake crawling our yard. There were waterbugs on the back porch and in the house. To have paid what we did, we were disappointed. I was expecting like a community of beach houses. Well, this was far from it. We took our dogs. They seemed to have had fun but they are dogs, they would have fun anywhere. To sum it up, we will not be back and I would not recomment this place to anyone. I would maybe if had a different location on the bay where the surrounding area was prettier and cleaned up.

  Flip Flop to me is more a state of mind than it is a sort of shoe. We thought this home exemplified the very essence of "Flip Flop." It was totally relaxing, beautiful, easy... We loved that is is off the beaten path but still on the beach. I could take the dogs out for romps on the beach, and also for walks and jogs in a nice, safe neighborhood with friendly people. The house is beautifully furnished, yet comfortable. I never thought I would be able to take my sweet, big dogs on a vacation in a house like this. We all loved it and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful week of holiday fun and happy memories. :) Lila

  What a wonderful time we had in this lovely home. It was great to be able to take our dog on vacation, she had a blast! The sunrises in the morning were wonderful. We will highly recommend this home to friends and family looking to get away from it all!

  Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach home. The home is located in a peaceful area is warm and inviting and is so beautiful. The view is wonderful, the natural light that floods the home in the morning is warm and inviting. We all loved the pool. My husband and I enjoyed playing in the pool with our children and at night swimming under the stars without the "Jaws" theme song playing in my head was great! We all agree this is a wonderful home to share and make great family memories!! Thanks for a great "smiled" filled weekend!! P.S. Love the big tree in the backyard Will, Lisa, Matt, Rachel, Jessica, and Allison Murawski

  Flip Flop Repair Shop was beautiful. The pictures do not even do justice for how great this house is. We had a blast. This is our new vacation beach spot. It was quiet and private and the pool just made it perfect. The house had everything we needed. The owners were very nice! We loved it!!! Best place to pick!!!
