The Coupleβs Beach Haven was a much needed get away for my wife and I. Carolyn was incredibly responsive and hospitable and our suite was perfect! Ideal location for the beach and many adventures plus a great time relaxing and soaking at the end of the day. Highly recommend and we will be back!
Carolyn was a excellent host, help us out by allowing us to use their other golf cart since my wife cracked her knee cap just days before we were arriving. She also had a sign wishing me a happy birthday on the fence where we parked. The insides were spacious and had everything we needed for a enjoyable weekend. Sent us suggestions for things to do and see. Plan to return in the future after my wife knee heals so we can do more thing's and will let family and friends know about this excellent place to go and be just a couple, away from the kids and stress

What an enjoyable stay for 4 nights! We stayed in "Suite Paradise Suite C". All the comforts you would want! Clean, comfy soft bed & linens, lots of soft towels, laundry facilities in room, coffee/tea bar, all the beach equipment you would need, golf cart use (what a plus!), hot tub for 2, yummy goodies, great instructions everywhere to help you out, labeling of all the supplies everywhere & wonderful hosts. A great romantic stay for couples only! Thank you to our hosts for sharing this great place on the beautiful Emerald Isle!
Absolutely everything it claims to be & more. Couldnt have planned a better trip!

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Curry
Married since 2011 and passionate about thriving relationships, Jonathan and I created Flip Flop Suites β 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.

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 β 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 β every throw pillow, every flickering candle, every carefully chosen amenity β 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 β 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 β 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 β no kids, no pets, no distractions. Just you, your person, and the sound of the ocean nearby.
