My family had the great pleasure to spend a week at the Flip Flop Inn. There were 17 of us, from age 2 to 65. There were plenty of options to keep everyone relaxed and entertained. The beach is just steps away, very convenient in case you forgot anything, or just need a bathroom break or a snack. There also is a community pool which the kids did enjoy a few times.
The house itself is just beautiful. I bet it is the biggest in the community. Plenty of space for everybody. And lots of patios, Oceanside and sound side. There also is a fourth floor tower room with 360 degree views. It even has a small outdoor walkway. It really is a stunning feature that few houses in the area seem to have.
The kitchen was well appointed, multiple ovens and microwaves. It has all of the pots and pans and such to make anything you wish. Even a milkshake maker! It has a large modern fridge, and a separate ice maker which believe me is very useful. There also is a second fridge in the pantry area, also very useful. These are the kind of things that I didn't realize I should be looking for in a vacation rental, but I am glad the owners did. Speaking of the owners, they were extremely kind, pleasant, and easy to work with. You can tell they really care for their home, and it matters to them that you enjoy your stay.
The bedrooms are very nice with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are modern, especially the showers. Additionally, there is an elevator, which is nice for bringing in luggage and groceries. There was plenty of parking. We had 6 cars, I bet we could has fit 2 more without issue. We had several outstanding sunrises and sunsets, a full moon over the ocean , and a sea turtle laid a nest of eggs in the dune right by the house. There are a lot of local restaurants, ice cream shops, and parks. Some in our group went sailboarding, there are surf lessons, and you can watch the kids surfing down by the pier.
The beach by the house was active, but never crowded or intrusive.
Everything was fantastic, I had high expectations, and they were met or exceeded in every way.
**** I very highly recommend this beautiful home. ****
(I believe the owners also own the house next door if you have an even larger group. I don't recall the name of that house)
