Nice cottage on alligator point, close to beach access with very quiet beaches and a few great restaurants within a 30 minute drive. If you need a break from the fast paced every day to day, stay on alligator point. It was a great place but it does have a musty odor so I couldn’t give it a 5 star. The owners were very helpful with our stay.

Hideaway

Great vacation home. Everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. Without a doubt this is the most well stocked home we’ve stayed in. We highly recommend the Flipflop and will definitely stay here again.

I loved how fully stocked the kitchen is! Made cooking meals for the family a breeze. The dining table is large enough for family dinners and board games. Two blocks walk away from the beach solves the parking issue :) The units caretakers make huge strides to make sure every detail is taken care of. Our family of 10 felt spaced out and relaxed.will love to come back again!

This place is in a great location, quick to get to the beach and easy access to the bay via the canal. We will definitely be back. The kitchen is stocked with good quaility cookware and appliances. The “take one, leave one” library was a hit, as were the board games! The beach is beautiful, 10/10 would recommend.

Quiet Ocean Stay

This was a spacious, and well equipped home to stay near the beach for our family. Comfortably accommodated 6 of us; 3 adults, 1 teen, and 2 children. Plenty of games and entertainment, and the hosts were very communicative and pleasant to deal with. Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet community and close proximity to the beach. Would like to return and stay again!

Amazing Workation

We loved our time at this location. Quiet and friendly neighborhood. Even without being on the shore you can hear the waves at night and the night sky was beautiful without light pollution. Would highly recommend staying at any home owned and maintained by this couple.

We stayed here for my daughter's birthday and had the best time. The house is walking distance to the beach. The beds are super comfy, and my kids loved the bunk bed. They have everything you could need to keep yourself entertained and relax with. If you're looking for fun beach weekend this js definitely the place to be.

This was our second trip to the flip flop hideaway.

We love this house and area. The neighbors are friendly, it has cool white squirrels and the beach is very close. We made some excellent dinners and caught some fish. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to the hurricane. The hosts went out of their way help and refund some of the fees. I hope to return soon. You can’t go wrong staying here!

This was as perfect as a rental could have been. 4 females so we took more than we needed but I believe if we had not brought anything with us we still wouldn't have lacked for anything. Amazingly clean, well stocked and convenient to the beach.

Great location Great vacation rental

Property was perfect for our family, the property owners go over and beyond to make your stay comfortable and all of the little extras provided were a nice bonus. The property is within walking distance of the public access to beach. Beach is very nice, away from all of the hustle which made it the perfect place for our family to enjoy. The house is on the canal which gave access to fishing right off the dock.

Great family getaway!

Alligator Point is an amazing destination and Flip Flop Hideaway compliments it so well! We were able to enjoy the beach without the hassle of packing it all ourselves: 4 great beach chairs, a cart, floats, & an outdoor shower! Our family was never without entertainment- indoors or out. We loved the popcorn machine! Great hosts.

We absolutely loved this house!!

We stayed at the flip flop hideaway for a week in March. The house was furnished with every thing you could want. Perfectly clean and in a great location. The beach is only about a five minute walk. There were many times while on the beach there was not another person for as far as I could see. Good neighbors, good restaurants, nice house in a great location. What more can you ask for. We hope to return.

Great location

Overall great location. Close to beach. A 3 min walk to beach. House was extremely clean and cery well equipped. The canal in back with dock was great for fishing. The only thing that was not great, was the grass. It was a little tall for kiddos to play out in yard. Other than that, we would definitely recommend and stay again!
