About this property

Flip Flops-Close to beach! Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath on a canal with boat dock

Welcome to Flip Flops by the Sea. We are located on a short canal on the Imperial River with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, Flip Flops by the Sea is the perfect place to bring your boat and enjoy the waterways of Southwest Florida or you can use the provided kayaks or paddle boards provided for your enjoyment.

Imagine waking up in beautiful Southwest Florida with a view of the Imperial River. You prepare breakfast and go out to the screened in porch to enjoy the ocean breeze and wildlife that frequent the waterways of the Imperial River and Estero Bay. As as you drink you coffee, you can use the included wifi to decide on which golf course will start your day.

After your morning golf outing, you have to decide how you will get to the beach for your afternoon relaxation. Since the beach is about a mile away, you can walk or bike or even paddle. But then again there is parking by the hour or day available too. As the sun sets over Gulf, you start thinking about dinner. Will you try one of the many local restaurants for some fresh seafood or would you prefer to use your full kitchen to create your own meal?

When you get home you can enjoy cable and Internet in any room as you relax and prepare for whatever adventure may take place the next day whether it is kayaking the Imperial River, deep sea fishing, exploring the everglades or shopping your way from Naples to Matlacha. The best part is that like all the decisions you will make on this vacation, there is no wrong choice because you chose to vacation in Southwest Florida with Flip Flops by the Sea.

Above our expectations!
Flip flop rental was much nicer than the pictures ! The location was very close to the beach! There were two wonderful places to eat we could walk to. Our adult children were thrilled with the kayaks ! We all enjoyed this ! The porch is huge! Part of it is screen if you chose to use this . The Family room is large enough to have guests. We had local friends over and it was never crowded. Rick was great and always was able to answer our questions . Thanks for sharing your home with us ! We will be back ! To the beach

The house that has it all
We were so thrilled when we saw the Flip Flop house. The back deck was what we called our "happy place". Loved the ease of the boat launch to kayak. Thank you Rick for being a great host with all the amenities we could want.

Perfect for our family
Flips Flops is a charming beach house on stilts near the beach. It was extremely clean and inviting. We enjoyed sitting on the extended terrace which was surrounded by green. We rode the available bikes to the beach. Just what we wanted.

Terrific property
We’re headed back next year, and we almost never book the same place twice. The house has open living areas, and a beautiful deck and porch that feel like you’re in a tree house. The yard is lush, and the boat lift proved to be a lovely place to watch wildlife—in our case bobcats, iguanas and massive fish. Everything is there that you could need in the kitchen AND in the bathrooms. Bath soap, aluminum foil, dish towels, first aid supplies, etc. Leave everything at home and replace what you use up. I am a little picky and will bring a couple of my own pots next year, and always bring my knives. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Communication with Rick was as great as everyone else has said. He was also very understanding when hubby walked through a screen. 😞. He rates as a 10 as a host. We were disappointed not to be able to stay on Hickory Blvd this year for lack of availability, and wondered if we’d miss the beach access. To our surprise we much preferred having access to the bay and the Great Calusa Blueway right off the dock. There was only one day that we had a hard time finding a parking spot at the gulf so we drove to Dog Beach to watch all the fun. Barefoot Beach and Lovers Key are wonderful options as well. The mile +/- to the beach turned out to be a non-issue and the neighborhood was MUCH quieter than Hickory Blvd.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Dutton

Host profile image
We have been sharing our Southwest FL home to travelers since 2014. Several years ago we moved from a condo to our 3 bedroom/2bath house. We fell in love with the beautiful Southwest Florida waterways and specifically the Imperial River and Estero Bay.

Why they chose this property

This is waterfront property on a short canal off the Imperial River with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Boat dock with flow through platform lift make it easy to launch the available kayaks, paddle boat, paddleboards, or use the platform for your own boat. Baywater Boat Rental is within easy walking distance from Flip Flops.

What makes this property unique

We have a boat dock with a platform lift to provide easy access to the Imperial River and the unique beauty of South Florida Estero Bay. Kayaks are available for your use during your stay.
