Great family gathering place

Enough room for our family to get together and close enough to the beach access to make it convenient.

Great time!

We had a really nice experience with Ward at Flip flops. The house was clean and welcoming. The only problem was that the garbage cans were full when we arrived.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are so glad you loved your stay at Flip Flops. Trash pick up in that area of Surf City is on Mondays. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that some garbage will have accumulated in the trash carts for any days after pick up. We understand your frustration, and apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to see you again on Topsail Island sometime soon.

Nice house - Not great manager

We were overall happy with our stay other than the first floor AC going out and getting no response from Ward Realty about trying to get it fixed. Fortunately, the top floor AC was sufficient to cool the bottom floor reasonably well.

We love Topsail. It has been our vacation place for many years.

We have stayed at several different places over the years of vacationig on Topsial. Some spectacular and some bargain basement because of our budget at the time. I think that this year house sits right in the middle. Worked well for everyone but it could use some updates. But with that siad, we didn't come for the house, we came for the sun, sand and memories made with family and close friends. With some minor updates the house would be phenomenal. The location was great, and the house met all our needs But we are pretty simple people. We are already looking forward to next years visit to our favorite beach.

Thank you for the 5 Star review of your stay at Flip Flops. I believe that some updates are scheduled for the off season, but we will share your suggestions with the home owner. We agree that the main purpose of vacationing on Topsail Island is the beach/ocean and making memories! Its a wonderful place to do just that. We look forward to seeing you next year, hopefully in a Ward Realty Vacation Home.

Great location, not small child friendly

We selected this house because of the claim there was a fenced in backyard in the description, however the yard was unusable and fence was severely damaged. It turns out when I reached out through VRBO this home was through and agency, not the homeowner and they suggested that in the future I use their website to book instead of VRBO - which was not very helpful. Overall - the house was much better than I had anticipated for the price - location is great and property is nicely kept and very clean. However, if you have small children, I would not recommend. The yard is unusable and the top porch is horrifying for children.

Very nice and clean place

The property was excellent and everything was clean. Everything that we needed was at the property. We only wished that every room had a tv. Definitely would recommend this property and using vrbo.com for booking. Check out was really early and we wanted to get a later check out time but never received a call back from management.

Great house! Great location

We really enjoyed the Flip Flops house. House was clean and cozy. Close to the beach access. My only complaint if I had to list one was that you don't have a power outlet on the ground level accessible by renters. Our golf cart couldn't be charged without running cords from the upstairs deck.

Thank you for the 5 Star Review. We are so glad you loved your stay at Flip Flops. We appreciate your feedback about the power outlet and will be sure to share your idea with the home owner. We look forward to seeing you again on Topsail Island.

Nice beach house

The house was well maintained, clean and comfortable. We had great views of the ocean from the main living floor and deck. The yard was overgrown and not really usable but the beach access was very close and where we spent most of our time anyway. The area is quiet and full of families. The only drawback we found is that it was a bit too quiet for us. The beach lovers in the family could've stayed another week, others became a little bored and would've liked more activity off the beach.

Thank you for the great review. We are so glad that you loved your stay at Flip Flops. Many find the quiet neighborhood perfect for groups with kids, making it safe to ride bikes and walk to the beach. But if a bit of nightlife and some shopping is what you're looking for we can totally set you up. Next time let us help you find something a little closer to Surf City Center, where you'll find you can walk to many restaurants, all the shops, and several entertainment establishments. Especially if you choose the North side of Roland Avenue. We hope to see you again soon!
