About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Curry

Married since 2011 and passionate about thriving relationships, Jonathan and I created Flip Flop Suites — an exclusive boutique couples-only retreat in Emerald Isle, NC.

My eye for design makes every suite feel like a love letter, while Jonathan keeps everything running seamlessly behind the scenes.

Three private luxury suites, each with a private hot tub and patio with privacy curtains.

No kids. No pets. Just you and your person.

Flip Flop Suites – You've never stayed like this before!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because of its location. It is a wooded cul-de-sac lot right next to a park and is peaceful and quiet. It is also only 1/2 mile to the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops!

What makes this property unique

Some of the best ideas are born from the heart. For Jonathan and Carolyn, married since 2011 and passionate advocates for healthy, thriving relationships. The dream was simple but deeply personal: create a place made exclusively for couples, a place where the noise of everyday life fades away, where you can kick off your shoes, breathe in the salt air, and simply be with the person you love.

Nestled in the beautiful coastal town of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, Flip Flop Suites is a boutique short-term rental property designed with romance at its core. We're not a hotel. We're not a typical vacation rental. We're something a little more intentional — a sanctuary crafted specifically for couples who deserve a moment to relax, rest, and reconnect.

Carolyn brings her background in interior design and a genuine heart for the lost art of Southern hospitality to every inch of this property. Her incredible attention to detail — every throw pillow, every flickering candle, every carefully chosen amenity — ensures your suite feels less like a rental and more like a love letter written just for you.

Our property features three thoughtfully appointed suites — each offering its own private entrance, private hot tub, cozy fireplace, and a patio complete with string lights, a fire pit, and two loungers. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, a proposal, a birthday, or simply a romantic getaway, there's a suite waiting to set the perfect scene.

From the moment you arrive, every detail has been considered. Soft lighting, flower petals, warm cookies fresh from the oven, and a chilled bottle of wine welcome you in — because the magic of a getaway should begin the second you walk through the door.

At Flip Flop Suites, we believe couples deserve a space of their own — no kids, no pets, no distractions. Just you, your person, and the sound of the ocean nearby.

Flip Flop Suites – You’ve never stayed like this before! 💗
