OceanFront 7-Bdrm Elevator Pool Tennis Volleyball Putt-Putt HotTub Dog Friendly
The Flip Flop Inn is one of our 2 homes in the Village of Stump Sound. The Flip Flop Inn sits beside the Pearl by the Sea if you need more room (and also on Vrbo). The Flip Flop Inn sits directly on the beach. Toes in the sand in a blink, right off the walkway.
PLEASE be sure to read our policies, and full description. All rates include cleaning and linens.
The FLIP FLOP INN is an amazing beach home. It is in the VILLAGE OF STUMP SOUND on TOPSAIL ISLAND. The FFI is easy to find and a great location to spend time by the water.
NOTE: the Flip Flop Inn is a 7-bdrm in the Village of Stump Sound in North Topsail Beach. Owner operated by: Susan Carey Frank and always happy to answer your questions. Rentals are family friendly and weekly ONLY w/ Checkin/out Sat.-Sat. in warm months w/ some flexibility other times.
Our Community Pool is OPEN during the summer months , typically mid-May through October, pending weather.
For additional information, more pictures of our community, take a look at Pearl by the Sea. You should be able to see to the right of the Flip Flop Inn in my pictures.
The FLIP FLOP INN beach house has everything you could possibly want in a North Carolina beachfront rental: spectacular views of the ocean and the sound, direct beach access, community pool and a tennis court/pickle ball. The kitchen is well-equipped w/ most things you like to have at home. Our beach volleyball court is right outside and shared w/ the Pearl by the Sea (Vrbo 3915993).
You will be spoiled in this 4700 square foot luxurious custom built home. The second floor, the main living area, contains the master suite, great room, dining room and kitchen. Cypress paneling and two-story cathedral ceiling with tall windows make the great room truly spectacular. At the top in the Widow's Watch Tower Room you will enjoy the breath-taking panoramic views of the island, the ocean, the sound, sunsets and sunrises. The house features ceramic tile flooring throughout and a whole house audio and home theater surround sound system.
Property Features:: The outside of the house is as amazing as the inside. The Flip Flop Inn sits Oceanfront, with beach access right out the door by walkway from 1st floor or ramp from the ground level. Beautiful landscaping and ample parking welcome you as you approach the house. A picnic table and 2 built-in charcoal grills make for pleasant outdoor dining. There are six decks/porches totaling over 1650 square feet of outdoor space. Relax on one of these decks and enjoy the glorious views of ocean and sound.
It's easy to rock the day away in one of the many sound side rockers in a beautiful setting, maybe see a boat or two go by on the sound. If you prefer the relaxing roar of the ocean , pick up a few rays in the lounge chairs or take in the sunrise and have your morning latte at the dining table on the oceanside decks. You'll enjoy the audio system throughout the house.
You enter the Flip Flop Inn on the ground floor entryway. It has steps and elevator. The first floor is a bedroom floor w/ 3 king bedrooms and bunkroom. Second floor is the main floor w/ 1 bedroom, kitchen and greatroom. Third floor has 2 queen bedrooms. Fourth floor has a tower w/ views all around and nice sitting area.
The FLIP FLOP INN is in the community of Village of Stump Sound with all single family homes. When you book the Flip Flop Inn, you are booking the entire home. (This is not an "Inn" w/ room rental.)
I'm sure you'll love the "Flip Flop Inn" in the Village on North Topsail Beach. I am always happy to hear from my guests anytime, so please feel free to reach out w/ any questions. A visit to the Flip Flop Inn at is one you will never forget!

About the host
Hosted by North Topsail Oceanfront Rentals
We are Robert (Bob) and Susan Frank and live in Wake Forest, NC after 30+ years of living in Raleigh, NC. Our family built our 7-bedroom, "Flip Flop Inn" and purchased the (5 bedroom) "Pearl by the Sea" a few years ago and right next door. The Flip Flop Inn has a volleyball court in the backyard that is shared w/ the Pearl. Both are amazing homes and great for large or small groups.
If you have questions, or flying in and need options for airports, please ask, as happy to answer. I'm sure you'd love the Flip Flop Inn . Need additional space or perhaps a bit less...the Pearl by the Sea also part of northtopsailoceanfrontrentals. is right next door.
I'm sure you'd love our little Village of Stump Sound Community and the Flip Flop Inn!!

Why they chose this property
We purchased the property in the 90's and eventually decided to build. The Flip Flop Inn is the most amazing beach home and built w/ love, so quite different than your typical rental home.
