Crawfordville cottage rentals

We had an amazing stay at Flip Flop Hideaway! The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and the house was comfy for our family. We have stayed at many rentals and never have visited one that was so thoroughly stocked. The hosts really go above and beyond to make you comfortable. FYI - you will want to stop and get groceries on your way in as there is not a grocery store nearby. We realized we forgot coffee and were worried about it but when we got to the house the host had a variety for us to use thankfully! The walk to the beach was short and easy for our five year old. The beach is beautiful - calm water, soft sand, no crowds and amazing sunsets. We brought two dogs and it wasn’t stressful as the yard is fenced in (besides the waterline - we brought a long lead to keep our youngest dog out of the water). We enjoyed the fire pit every night under the stars and coffee every morning on the peaceful porch. The kids caught a few fish but, after talking to the neighbors, they mentioned the fishing is really good starting in April. If you’re looking for an off the grid, peaceful family vacation this house and area is perfect!

The hosts made sure we as guests were very comfortable. All the extra little touches they provided made for a great experience. The bedrooms even had sets of different phone chargers for use on the night stands. Would definitely book again!

Very cute place. Quiet and and secluded just what we needed.

It is a comfy cozy, vintage beach house. It has everything you could possibly need. It is a quite relaxing pet friendly beach. Great for young children, or older folks. Outdoor shower is nice, hot tub super clean, new washer and dryer. If you take pets PLEASE clean up after them whether on the beach or around the out side of the house, if it comes out of your pet, pick it up.

The view from every room are beautiful. The porches are amazing. The house is old school and not fancy which is perfect for us. We loved it and have already booked another stay for us and another couple next spring. We caught lots of fish right from the porch and saw dolphins at sunrise and sunset. We went about 25 minutes away to Wakulla Springs and saw manatees.

We chose this property because of its proximity to St. Marks NWR and Wakulla Springs State Park and were not disappointed! The area was very private with a few neighboring homes, felt safe, and while we were presumably "in the middle of nowhere" we were also a very short ride from Tallahassee, restaurants, beautiful natural areas, a grocer, and restaurants. Perfect location! There was one minor snafu the owners found with the TV just before we were to check-in and they were very transparent, honest, and courteous. Their integrity and kindness alone are enough to make me stay there again! The owners also have a great sense of humor, even if they are Gator fans, and reading through the house rules, check-in/out procedures, and other information was hilarious (and effective). PROS: - Very clean and comfortable - Great location + safe - Pet friendly with a fenced backyard - Well-stocked with dishes, cookery, utensils, etc. - Washer and dryer (dryer is even more efficient than mine at home!) - Good cell service (Verizon) - Plenty of parking - Set back in the woods (very private) CONS: - Rural internet was very slow -- too slow for streaming (no fault of the owners) - No dishwasher (not a big deal for us, but could be for others) - No vacuum (we like to tidy up when we bring our dog) BOTTOM LINE: We would not hesitate to stay here again! It's a sweet, comfortable hideaway with exceptional hosts. Highly recommended. Go Dawgs!

Between the views and the location, everything about Island House was amazing. The owners were kind and easy to get in touch with. Such a great place to get away from the craziness of life. Will definitely be going back!
