The FLIP FLOP INN beach house has everything you could possibly want in a North Carolina beachfront rental: spectacular views of the ocean and the sound, direct beach access, community pool and a tennis court/pickle ball. The kitchen is well-equipped w/ most things you like to have at home. Our beach volleyball court is right outside and shared w/ the Pearl by the Sea (Vrbo 3915993).

The house features ceramic tile flooring throughout and a whole house audio and home theater surround sound system.
Property Features:: The outside of the house is as amazing as the inside. The Flip Flop Inn sits Oceanfront, with beach access right out the door by walkway from 1st floor or ramp from the ground level. Beautiful landscaping and ample parking welcome you as you approach the house. A picnic table and 2 built-in charcoal grills make for pleasant outdoor dining. There are six decks/porches totaling over 1650 square feet of outdoor space. Relax on one of these decks and enjoy the glorious views of ocean and sound.
It's easy to rock the day away in one of the many sound side rockers in a beautiful setting, maybe see a boat or two go by on the sound. If you prefer the relaxing roar of the ocean , pick up a few rays in the lounge chairs or take in the sunrise and have your morning latte at the dining table on the oceanside decks. You'll enjoy the audio system throughout the house.

About the host
Hosted by North Topsail Oceanfront Rentals
We are Robert (Bob) and Susan Frank and live in Wake Forest, NC after 30+ years of living in Raleigh, NC. Our family built our 7-bedroom, "Flip Flop Inn" and purchased the (5 bedroom) "Pearl by the Sea" a few years ago and right next door. The Flip Flop Inn has a volleyball court in the backyard that is shared w/ the Pearl. Both are amazing homes and great for large or small groups.
If you have questions, or flying in and need options for airports, please ask, as happy to answer. I'm sure you'd love the Flip Flop Inn . Need additional space or perhaps a bit less...the Pearl by the Sea also part of northtopsailoceanfrontrentals. is right next door.
I'm sure you'd love our little Village of Stump Sound Community and the Flip Flop Inn!!
Why they chose this property
We purchased the property in the 90's and eventually decided to build. The Flip Flop Inn is the most amazing beach home and built w/ love, so quite different than your typical rental home.
