We've stayed in some great VRBOs and this place was by far the best. They thought of everything. There were warm cookies waiting for us when we arrived! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you so much! I don't know if they creeped our Facebook but the size difference in the robes was spot on (I'm 6'4"and my wife is 5'1").

We had great time at Flip Flop Suites. The place is great! We slept like babies in the comfy bed. There was wine and cookies for us when we arrived. There plenty of TV options. Bikes and gilf carts to check out the area. The beach was awesome. Johnathan and Carolyn were awesome host. We hope to come back and see them again.

From start to finish, booking to check out, this retreat was definitely five stars. Carolyn and Jonathan had everything we needed and MORE tucked away in our quaint and romantic suite (B). We were graciously granted a tour of the other suites as well, and each one was immaculate and decorated to perfection. Every suite has an inflatable hot tub, which was so enjoyable and relaxing that we plan to purchase one for our home. Sign up and use of the golf cart for transportation to the beach was easy and convenient. Would you believe they even provided beach chairs and towels, a cooler, and a Shibumi!!! My hubby even enjoyed the use of the bikes provided though he rode under protest at first. The short ride to the park and hike on the wooded paths brought back memories of our childhood and we loved it. The retreat is close to all kinds of good food and ice cream, but if you wish to cook there is a Blackstone grilling station and (for your booking information) Suite C provides a full kitchen. We love the beach, but there is plenty of other fun things to do nearby…miniature golf, arcades, go carts. It was a short drive to Beaufort where we hopped on the Crystal Coast Lady (30 pp) to see the wild horses on Shackleford and many, many dolphins. It was lovely! Without a doubt, we would return and highly recommend this VRBO. It is a special place run by a very special and attentive couple.
Suite B is on the first floor. Suite A is on the third floor with hot tub and lounging area on the visible deck. Suite C is around back (not visible in picture)

Fated Getaway

I wasnt even looking at NC but the picture of this house popped in my search and grabbed my attention. I am glad that happened because the house was very beautiful and cozy and just right for me and my husband. You can't go wrong with this place if you just want to get away by yourself or a partner. On the plus side, the beach is approximately 7 minutes away and there are many places to go nearby for meals. The owners, although I met them very briefly, were very nice. They made sure to send me a welcome text message, which I appreciated. Again, you will not be disappointed if you come and stay at this place. Hubby and I will definitely be back, which is saying a lot because I don't like long distance driving (we traveled 6 hours)!

Weekend get away

The pictures were very deceiving. The place was spotless but extremely small. We thought there was a kitchenette, but there was not. We had not anticipated eating out for every meal. But as I said, it was extremely cozy and nice. Could use a fan on patio, air for a little stuffy. Bikes and golf cart were awesome. We used both quite a bit. Bed was super comfortable. Sitting room was also nice. Overall, a very nice weekend away. Loved it.

The second time of the visit ! Wonderful !

I usually don’t book a place twice in a row in such a short time between . But I did . Because the place is awesome . The hosts are awesome . I reached out to the host Carolyn two months later since the first visit . She even kindly give us a holiday discounts . You would be surprised how many things could change since last visit only two months ago . This place is getting better and better . We had free ice cream , new bicycle, new beach bag and golf cart ! Additionally , they even provided us fishing tools to go fishing . There are just tons of things to do at this rental place also the island around us . The restaurants you could just ride bicycles to . Having fun in such a good weather . I like it that Carolyn always so thoughtful of all the things . She even provided toothbrush set , new chap balm and deodorant . I actually needed them this time . You are always provided with all the beach tools and also sun screens . We had so much fun at cape look out light house and just by laying on the beach with umbrellas and a cooler with beers. We went out for kayak again and it is always exciting . That’s one of reason that I love this rental cause they provide you fun activities you could just do without paying for extra . At least I did not find a place offer you golf cart to ride around ! What make me really feel like home and being taken care of is Carolyn stopped at drug store for us after I texted her just to grab some tape and extra badge for our new tattoos . She always make sure you are well taken care of there . I love this place . And I can’t wait to visit again !

My Wife Loved It

All in all, everything was good. The bed was somewhat uncomfortable for me due to the bed topper. After we removed it, my wife slept like a baby. And both of us being above the age of 60, we may not be as tech savvy as some, and had a little trouble getting the lights and coffeemaker to work as they could. As I said my wife loved it, and that is what most matters.
