Great week

Enough room for 11 people. Well keep, nice location. Large kitchen and room for all to eat in comfort. Walking distance to beach. One draw back was one road in and out with some traffic during high travel days usually on weekend with people check-in to house. Nice and well keep pool and hot tub.

Nice property.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very Good, We vacationed during an extremely hot week in July, so that walk to the beach seemed even longer. Also, it is quite a distance to Duck....OK for a bike ride...a very long walk.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2022
The Outer Banks has experienced many weeks of extremely hot temperatures and very high humidity this summer, which tends to make all things not as convenient for walking or biking. We are glad that "Flip Flop Inn" fit your family needs for your vacation this year. We do look forward to having you return and vaction with us for many summers in the future.

Great first experience renting in OBX!

This was our first time vacationing in OBX so we were a little nervous about this whole experience but let me tell you it was amazing! The photos do not do this house justice. It is even nicer in person! The house itself was very clean which was nice. We did not have to waste time cleaning anything when we arrived. The walk to the beach is very manageable even for someone like myself who has back problems. Half way through the week a very nice gentleman showed up and cleaned the pool and Jacuzzi for us which we thought was great. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend staying in this beautiful home!

Exceptional private pool and hot tub area

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Flip Flop Inn was a great rental for the 13 of us . It is well maintained and the realty group was very attentive to our needs. The home is spacious and clean with beds for all of us. There is about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach with easy access. Access to grocery stores both north and south. Plenty of souvenir shopping and we enjoyed the mini golf. The bay views and access were great as well.I would highly recommend this home. Exceptional space for relaxing in the pool and hot tub with activities nearby.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay! The weather was perfect! The beach wasn’t a terrible distance but check out all entrances to the beach. We didn’t check on the one on left till last day and it was easier to access than the right one! Air filters definitely need replaced as you can see/smell they are over due! The house had everything needed to cook! Few more hooks woulda been nice to hang towels up with so many people in the house. But over all, it was nice and relaxing!!!

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was great because we had our children and grandchildren with us! Spent quality family time together! The location was great - just a short walk to the ocean.Our complaint was that again, 2 years in a row, the ceiling on the lower level leaked during a rain storm. Also, the home wasn't clean. This time we were prepared - we brought our own cleaning supplies and took care of that. In their defense when I sent notice that the home wasn't clean, someone from housekeeping called and offered to come and clean. Wow, the spiders had a colony in the home! Yikes!!In spike of those things, we love Duck, North Carolina!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Aug, 2021
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the housekeeping issues and the leak in the ceiling. We will have those issues addressed. We hope to welcome you back to the beach.

The Flip Flop Inn was a perfect setting for our family vacation - there was plenty of space for our children and grandchildren to relax and get a good night's sleep! They larger spaces for meals and gatherings provided comfortable places for us to eat, talk, and play. The walk to the beach was fun - and was short enough for us to return for lunch, to take a break, and to swim in the pool. In short, we loved every minute!

Enjoyable Place to Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home fits our needs as a first-time "renter" in OBX. The house was spacious and provided many of the "home away from home" necessities. We had a small issue with the pool circulator, but it was resolved without issue or inconvenience.The things where the home fell a little short was it could have had more substantial furniture on the decks and some form of shade by the pool (an umbrella or sunshade would have been greatly appreciated on some of the really hot days) and also some hooks or somewhere to hang wet towels and bathing suits. It also looked like there was space for small fridge in the sitting room off of the kitchen, but it was not there. It would have made that space FANTASTIC for preparing drinks from coffee to adult so much easier, and freed up space in the regular fridge for food.

Great price for location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a great location for the price. Plenty of space for everyone. The floorplan was probably the most clever design I've ever stayed in! The pool was clean. The house had most everything we needed which was a nice surprise. Examples beach wagon! Loved it!!! Another ex. Grill, charcoal, lighter fluid! All perks! Had some concerns about cleanliness. We had to wash all the mattress covers the day of arrival. They were dirty. Found some blood on a pillow but we had brought our own so didn't matter too much. Couldn't tell if it was a stain or new blood. A few of the comforters had blood spots on them. Surprised that linens should be a normal cleaning item. I realize this doesn't reflect the owners but the cleaning crew. Overall I would stay here again. Great house, great extras, great location, great price!

Wonderful Vacation Home

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was a wonderful experience in the OBX. The layout worked well for everyone, the beds were comfortable and the pool was heaven. Had an issue with the hot tub and they sent someone right over to fix it. The Beach was amazing and ghost crabs 🦀 were so cool to watch. If it quite a walk though. The kitchen has everything you need, especially to cook the freshest seafood around. I would recommend this home to anyone looking to have a family getaway, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space too.

First Time Duck Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the Flip Flop Inn. The living space was great for our family, roomy & well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. All the bedrooms were fine. Overall, the house was clean with two exceptions. The windowsills did not appear to ever get dusted, a bit disconcerting when you raise the shades & see dust and dead insects. The outside shower was in need of a good sweeping. There were some glitches, like no working outdoor lights in the pool area, but were resolved the day the report was made. We did not report this, but we could not get the tv working in the room by the dining area. The ice maker was slow in making ice so we used the trays that were there to make more. The refrigerator & freezer doors were missing shelves which meant less storage space. Lastly, the dishwasher often didn’t didn’t do a good job of cleaning.Overall, we enjoyed staying here, the house, the pool & the location made it a great first experience for us in Duck.

Outer Banks Vacay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a nice place for a family reunion. Was a little distant from the ocean for older persons. Couldn't see the ocean at all but the sound was visible from the deck. Enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds. Lots of interior steps, three levels. Very well equipped kitchen and picnic table on the top deck outside the kitchen door. Very nice pool and hot tub. Although 51/2 baths, only one to share between two bedrooms serving six people. Place was very clean. Kudos to housekeeping for finding and turning in to office two Father's Day cards with gift cards in them. Office contacted me to have returned to me. Any small house repairs were handled quickly. Enjoyed our stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 May, 2022
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know that the size of the home was very accommodating for your family reunion. Having availability of a deck is great - you get to see a lot of wildlife up close on occasion here on the Outer Banks which is always an added surprise. Please join us for many vacations to come.

The beach was close (literally just down the street), all the shopping and amenities in Duck were nearby, and the home had everything we could want. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub while we enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. Thank you for thinking of everything - games, wine glasses, charcoal grill, and more!

We couldn't go out any door with have a webs and spiders on ya. They did send a lady to spray for spiders. Which definitely help. We sprayed the balcony and decks down and scrub them too.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 May, 2022
Hi Michelle, thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for the spiders on the exterior and understand the frustration of not being able to fully enjoy the decks. Regular pest control is performed on our homes, however these critters are part of living in a coastal environment and will continue to return. However, despite these unwanted visitors, it's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the home and we hope to see you again next year.

Unhappy customer

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: upon arrival the first thing I found through the house was cob webs with spiders hanging in the corners off the rooms as well as the ceiling fans. The spindles leading to the living room had spider webs all over. If house keeping had just cleaned how they missed all of this is sloppy work. i shouldn't have to come in and clean before we unpack and start our vacation. We also found the sliding door leading to the pool had the locking mechanism broken off and laying on the floor. I called property management and they assured me someone was coming out to fix it and it never happened. I wasn't able to secure the door when we left the property or when we went to bed. that wasn't safe for my family and our possession. We also requested that the front be power washed, the doors and windows were covered with bugs as well as the deck and the railings and the furniture. I couldn't enjoy the deck because of dirty it was with the bugs. I couldn't let my grandchildren even play on the deck because of the bud debris and all the spiders and webs which were covering all the furniture and hanging down from the rafters and door frames. I called and reported this and again property management assured me it would be done on Sunday or Monday which that didn't happen. Finally the guy showed up on Thursday to clean the deck and i left on Saturday which meant we were able to use the deck 1 out of 7 days, to be treated like this was very unprofessional. im honestly not sure that i would use Beach Realty again. Thank you
Response from VrboOwner on 10 May, 2022
I am so sorry to hear that the housekeeping was not up to standards as this is uncharacteristic of our level of service and wish for each guest to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities and we take feedback like this very seriously. Appropriate staff has been notified to review our cleaning procedures to make sure this doesn't happen again. Regarding the maintenance issues, we apologize that we could not get to you sooner. We work to handle all service calls as efficiently as possible. Unfortunately, we have seen an increase this year in midges and spiders and are actively working with pest control to help keep these at bay. We would love the opportunity to help you find your perfect vacation home for your next trip to the Outer Banks.

The exterior of the house was not maintained. Spiders EVERYWHERE outside (falling on us while grilling) and inside the home on doors, ceilings, and windows. No wii or PS2 as described. Very convenient to beach and shopping/dining. A good power washing of the house could have made all the difference.
