Leave your worries behind and let the sea breeze set you free at Runaway Flip Flops, a cozy and charming two-story coastal townhouse tucked away on beautiful Tybee Island, GA. This dreamy beach retreat is perfect for a family getaway or a relaxing escape from the everyday hustle. Nestled on a quiet private street lined with friendly townhomes, you’ll find yourself just six houses away from the dunes — and beyond them, the sparkling Atlantic awaits!

With your own private beach access, it’s just a breezy 3–5 minute stroll (depending on how excited your flip-flops are!) to feel the warm sand between your toes and the ocean waves lapping at your feet. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch or catching sunset views after a long beach day, Runaway Flip Flops offers the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and coastal fun.

Please note: To keep our Beach House safe and allergy-free for all guests, NO pets, animals, smoking, or vaping of any kind are allowed in the home or on the property due to extreme allergies.

Great location!

Our family of four was extremely comfortable in this beach house. We all had plenty of space and the beach is just a short walk away through the dunes on a quiet part of the island. Cindy was a very responsive and lovely host. We hope to be able to stay here again!

We’re thrilled that your family of four felt right at home -and that the beach was just a hop, skip, and sea-shell stroll away through the dunes. I’m so glad to hear you found plenty of space to spread out and that quiet island vibe made your stay extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you all back for another round of beachside fun.

I'm so confused and sadden to hear you feel we are only a 1 star property. Per our conversations and text, you stated that y'all had a Great getaway, we have a Great house and Great location. We pride ourselves on providing a five-star property with all the comforts of home, private beach access, including beach accessories for families to create wonderful memories. I'm not quite sure why you feel we are only worth one star?

Spacious clean townhouse, steps from quiet beach

This place was amazing! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Tybee Island. Very clean, has everything you need, townhouse, great screened in porch. Best thing is steps from beautiful quiet beach (your walkway is private to small number of residents). Great for relaxing and catching some waves!

Great place to run away!

Loved the short walk to a very quiet stretch of beach that was perfect for our low-key children. Outside shower was a huge bonus. Many small thoughtful details. Children adored the little room with twin beds. :)We planned to go light, but also eat all at the VRBO. Glad we didn't plan elaborate meals bc we didn't bring the cookware we would have needed. Excellent recommendations for eateries.We come to Tybee every year as a family tradition. This was a great place to make memories!

Awesome Tybee Island vacation!

Everything from the booking to check-in and check out was absolutely easy and convenient. Runaway Flip Flop’s is the best vacation spot, a short walk to the beach - they supply towels, chairs, umbrellas - all to make your stay a fun one and feel like a home away from home. The home is very clean with many places to sit and relax whether you want to watch TV or sit outside on the porch swing. Very responsive when needing any assistance or have questions, which helped make our stay even better. Thank you so much for opening your home up to others to enjoy Tybee Island beach!

3rd year in a row at this great vrbo. Everything is homey and just right. Not too cute, not too personal, VERY comfortable. Easy to reach host at any time to ask a question and get an answer. Great beach access. Everything you need is right there. Several little thoughtful provisions you don't expect. Perfect.

Beautiful location to have a private beach experience!

The owners were very kind and thoughtful with their interactions with us. The home is a great space and perfect location for private beach experience! It’s close enough to north beach if you want more people to interact in, however having our own space with no one else around was so peaceful! Many thinks within walking distance to enjoy. Owners have lots of items for kids to enjoy. I hope we can come back to rent it again. From grandparents to children, it was a hit! Thank you for sharing your family escape with ours!!!

Amazing family vacation

We have all good things to say. Everything was perfect. If you're looking for a quiet, cozy, clean location on the island, this would be perfect. The short, winding path to the beach is private. The screened in porch and exposed side of the deck was a nice touch, as well as the outside shower to rinse the sand off. Two and a half baths were great for the five of us. We were also very impressed with how quickly Cindy would get back to us with any questions. We would certainly stay here again.

First vacation in a while

Runaway Flipflops provided the absolute best experience for us. Our kids loved that their room was close to ours and loved that we were only steps from the beach. We began and ended every day of our stay with a walk to the beach. We enjoyed the toys and all the equipment they had to offer for the perfect beach getaway. Walking distance from the marine center, lighthouse, and a few restaurants too. The owners were easily reachable if we needed them. We haven't had a vacation in a while but will be considered regulars to this area and house.
