A king master suite with a private full bath

Two additional bedrooms, each furnished with a queen and twin bed, sharing a full bath

All bedrooms open to a covered, screened-in deck overlooking the ocean, plus access to a back deck perfect for sunrise viewing—both with wrap-around balcony design.

The ground level is a true standout: a sand-in-your-toes beachfront bar and lounge area complete with a long bar fitted with swing chairs, coastal-style decking and couches, an outdoor kitchen, and a private enclosed shower. Enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor living with steps leading directly to the beach for the ultimate comfort and entertainment experience.

We loved Flip Flops beach house! Beautiful location right on the beach. We had 2 golf carts to use a 4 person and a 6 person. The house was clean and set up perfectly. We watched some wonderful sunsets and found some amazing seashells. Hope to come back again!

Absolutely stunning sunsets and plenty of beach directly in front of house. We have stayed on the island several times and this was by far the most enjoyable. The house is perfect with everything you need for a perfect vacation.

Comfortable lovely home on the beach.

Great location with stunning sunsets. The house was as depicted, very comfortable and clean with great balconies for watching the sunset over the beach. Efficient air con, which was certainly needed! We had some top up grocery shopping delivered part way through, a great service. A couple of minor issues were dealt with very quickly, thank you. Overall a great stay.

Logistics of getting to North Captiva can be a little challenging but it really is a special place. We really enjoyed Flip Flops…layout of the house was perfect for our group, was clean, and had everything we needed. We all loved eating dinner while watching the sun set each night.

Beautiful Beach House

We had a fabulous week at the Flip Flops Beach House! The location of the house being right on the beach was perfect We had beautiful sunsets every night and loved hearing the sound of the Gulf. All beach needs were full-filled with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and beach games. The house had incredible views and had everything we needed. It was a great getaway!

Most peace and relaxing vacation ever

My family and I loved our vacation at Flip Flops. Everything was better than described! I’m so happy my family got to experience the laid back atmosphere and totally relax just steps from the beach. Shally’s was amazing with step by step instructions, getting our grocery order and delivering it, and helping us rent an additional golf cart. Everything you needed was already at the property to cook and clean, play, and relax next to the ocean. Loved all the wildlife as well!

Refreshing Stay in North Captiva

The house is on a beautiful quiet little beach. We had someone catch a tiny hammerhead looking shark and saw a proposal right in front of the beachfront we were staying on. Everyday we would go out and find the most amazing sea shells! Such a nice island that has the friendliest group of people staying there. We took a few boat rides and the dolphins swam with us for half of the ride. Everyone was very accommodating. Only tip would be to plan ahead and read the welcome pack that details the necessary arrangements. You'll have the best time!
