We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home was exceptionally clean, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with just about everything you could possibly need, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect—just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, so getting there was quick and easy. We also loved the refreshing pool and beautiful outdoor space, which were perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and relaxing beach getaway!

Awesome house and we loved everything that it came with it! So convenient to have chairs, beach carts, linens and towels, plus all of the kitchen supplies provided! We are used to renting at the Jersey shore and have to pack all of that. The adults loved that each room had its own bathroom and everything was just perfect. Meticulously decorated as well. Would definitely book again.

This house was exactly as pictured and spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook real meals for a big group, which made a huge difference over the week. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable, which matters a lot when you’ve got three generations under one roof.Location was ideal: just a block from the beach, and close enough to walk to a few restaurants and drive to the activities in the area. The host was friendly and responsive, and checked in to make sure that we were all set. We’d book this one again without hesitation.

Great House / Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flip Flops. It's a great house at a great location (a block from the beach; and a very short drive to stores/churches/etc.). Cathy was very responsive through out the entire process and very helpful. Would definitely re-rent this house if we return to the area.

Garden City House close to Beach

We loved the house. Big enough we can spread out some if we need to. Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pans and dishes. We only ate out 2 times so it worked good for our family! We stayed here in 2021 and loved it them too!

Family Vacation

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.

We had 2 families stay at the house and there was plenty of room. Any questions that we had were answered by the owner quickly. I would recommend this place to anyone. The only thing I would suggest is to read all the fine print.

Spring Break Baseball Tournament

We had a great spring break at the property. There were 3 families staying at the house for a baseball tournament. The house was a great size to accomodate all three families. We were a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive to grocery shopping. Even the baseball locations and restaurants were close. Fun week!

Vacation in SC

We had a great vacation and the house was perfect for us. This house is great. It has everything you need and is very clean. We loved it overall . The only things to note for other travelers would be : the pool is very small but it does the trick to cool off. Also rent your own golf cart the one available to rent at the house is very slow and only fits 4 but would totally recommend this house and would stay again!

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.

Great Location

Upon arrival the house was clean and orderly and very inviting. We had ample space for every family member to move around and we never felt confined or over crowded. The front porch was a great place to sit and have our morning coffee. Road noise was very minimal making it enjoyable to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. The only downside of the porch was a large palm tree blocking the view of the ocean but could be easily rectified with a little tree trimming. The pool is s a nice feature and the grandkids enjoyed it but was unable to stay in very long due to the pool temp being set only at balmy 73 degrees. The pool man said that the owners have to give him permission to turn the heater on. This was my only downfall during our stay at the property. The location also makes for a very easy and leisurely stroll to the beach. Cathy McClure is an outstanding host and a very personable woman ensuring that the house was in order for our arrival. She made you feel comfortable and answered questions promptly. I didn’t feel as “just another” renter making everything relaxing. Thank you Cathy!! We definitely would consider staying again. Respectfully Submitted, Scott

Scott, I'm so sorry about you being upset about the pool temperature. My pool guy is not suppose to turn on unless someone has paid for it. It is an additional charge for the pool heat. So if and when you decide to come back please get with me about heating the pool. I wish you had called me personally about it. I'm so glad the rest of your trip was enjoyable and hope you and your family will come back to stay at our house. We never want our guest to have a downfall. Sincerely, Cathy McClure
