Our stay was relaxing and amazing! The place is so special and everything you could possibly need is provided. The golf cart trips to the very close beach were our favorite way to spend the day with chairs, a cooler, towels, a canopy, and sunscreen provided. The hosts are extra special. We would love to stay there again!
Fantastic beach escape for our one year wedding anniversary. We booked last minute and yet were so pleased upon our arrival and easy check-in to this adorable, cozy and romantic getaway. Hosts went above and beyond to include everything that might be needed with all in working order and exemplary cleanliness. Host communication was excellent!
Thank you and Carol so much for choosing Flip Flop Suites as your stay. It was a pleasure meeting you both and getting to know you.
OMG, We just recieved your AMAZING handmade resin bowl gift in the mail, it is so beautiful and such a thoughtful gift. BIG HUGS TO YOU BOTH!!!
Beautifully maintained property with a great beach vibe. Romantic suite set-up with all the details being well thought out. Our hosts Carolyn and Jonathan were on point with everything and we could not have asked for a better stay or hosts. Location is great with only a quick 3 min golf cart ride to the beach. Also close to many amenities and restaurants. Flip Flop Suites did not disappoint!
Clean, well lit, centrally located to surrounding towns. Numerous amenities to make your stay carefree. Comfortable. Easy parking. Close to beach and local restaurant, ice cream shop, pizza restaurant, t-shirt shopp

Thank you so much Catherine, It was such a pleasure having yas as our guest. Our host goal was accomplished when you unwind, unplug and relaxed :) We look forward to your next stay.
The room was beautiful, comfy, inviting and completely the best quality we have seen at Emerald Isle. Jonathan and Carolyn have created the most luxurious oasis. I would recommend this beautiful stay to anyone who is looking for a piece of paradise on the beach. We have nothing but wonderful memories from our stay.

Woo hoo!!! We are sooo glad you had an awesome honeymoon!!! You guys are the best and are welcome back anytime. Maybe for your anniversary? ~Smiles ~ Carolyn and Jonathan
This was the second time my husband and I stayed here. We loved everything about it! The location is perfect and the golf cart makes going to the beach that much easier. The suite was very clean and decorated super cute. Even better than the listing pictures! Jonathan and Carolyn really have thought of everything you might need during your stay from beach towels to a spare toothbrush. The suite is super private too with its own entrance and designated parking area. The bed was very comfy too! We loved our stay here and hope to return soon!
My husband and I stayed for a weekend and we loved it. The hosts have done an amazing job of setting up your own little couples paradise. From little cookies and chocolates and wine waiting for us, to the music softly playing when we walked in, to the plush robes and the bed that felt like a cloud, it was romantic and relaxing. You could see how much thought went in to making it a nice stay. We would love to go back again.

About the host
Hosted by Jonathan Curry
Married since 2011 and passionate about thriving relationships, Jonathan and I created Flip Flop Suites β an exclusive boutique couples-only retreat in Emerald Isle, NC.
My eye for design makes every suite feel like a love letter, while Jonathan keeps everything running seamlessly behind the scenes.
Three private luxury suites, each with a private hot tub and patio with privacy curtains.
No kids. No pets. Just you and your person.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because of its location. It is a wooded cul-de-sac lot right next to a park and is peaceful and quiet. It is also only 1/2 mile to the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops!
What makes this property unique
Some of the best ideas are born from the heart. For Jonathan and Carolyn, married since 2011 and passionate advocates for healthy, thriving relationships. The dream was simple but deeply personal: create a place made exclusively for couples, a place where the noise of everyday life fades away, where you can kick off your shoes, breathe in the salt air, and simply be with the person you love.
Nestled in the beautiful coastal town of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, Flip Flop Suites is a boutique short-term rental property designed with romance at its core. We're not a hotel. We're not a typical vacation rental. We're something a little more intentional β a sanctuary crafted specifically for couples who deserve a moment to relax, rest, and reconnect.
Carolyn brings her background in interior design and a genuine heart for the lost art of Southern hospitality to every inch of this property. Her incredible attention to detail β every throw pillow, every flickering candle, every carefully chosen amenity β ensures your suite feels less like a rental and more like a love letter written just for you.
Our property features three thoughtfully appointed suites β each offering its own private entrance, private hot tub, cozy fireplace, and a patio complete with string lights, a fire pit, and two loungers. Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, a proposal, a birthday, or simply a romantic getaway, there's a suite waiting to set the perfect scene.
From the moment you arrive, every detail has been considered. Soft lighting, flower petals, warm cookies fresh from the oven, and a chilled bottle of wine welcome you in β because the magic of a getaway should begin the second you walk through the door.
At Flip Flop Suites, we believe couples deserve a space of their own β no kids, no pets, no distractions. Just you, your person, and the sound of the ocean nearby.
