We LOVE this house! We enjoyed our stay at Flip Flop Inn so much. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and so comfortable, the bathrooms are a dream, and the kitchen is very well-equipped. I always wished for a kitchen with a double oven -- this kitchen has 3 ovens, plus 2 refrigerators. I love this kitchen.
The best part is the new hot tub! We very much enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub with a wine cooler and watching the dolphins swim by in the ocean. It doesn't get much better than this!
The decks are beautiful - the upper rear deck is a delight at any time of the day or night, and if it gets too hot, we just move to the deck on the front side of the house and sit in the rocking chairs and enjoy the canal view.
We look forward to our vacation at Flip Flop Inn all year long -- and are already planning our 2010 trip! |

This is a wonderful vacation home with all the features that make a get-away effortless. The views are breathtaking from almost any room. The beach is great, we went swimming everyday. The community pool was good for exercise. We rented bikes for the week from a local outfitter, the neighborhood streets are not congested and you can ride for miles with no traffic. We played tennis at the community court.
The grill on the lower patio served us well, as we made almost all our meals there as the sun set and the cooler temperatures with ocean breezes soothed us after a sunny day at the beach. We loved everything.
Susan Frank was the best host to work with. She is great and gave us so much helpful information about the area. Grocery stores are close and well stocked. There is a very nice wine store about one mile from the Flip Flop Inn. We loved every minute, it just went too fast. The widow's watch or as we came to call it, the watchtower, is the best place to view sunrise and sunset. Beautiful. |

| The Flip Flop Inn was the perfect place to celebrate our Mother's 85th birthday. Great beach for swimming, sunning, surfing, and searching for sea shells. House has many amenities--and as everyone says, a great kitchen - stocked with so many cooking utensils and serving pieces. From the beach area looking back, the Flip Flop Inn is a show piece. A block also from the well-kept pool (even though we didn't use it as there were other things to do)! Wonderful great room - and plenty of places to 'escape' if you need to! Homeowners are a pleasure to work with. |

| We just spent a perfect week at the beach at the Flip Flop Inn. Our family is spread out, and this was the first I've seen some of my siblings or mother in more than a year. The reunion was ideal, due in no small part to the home itself. Not having to worry about linens or an un-stocked kitchen helped us focus simply on being together. We were also so happy to have direct beach access, plenty of sand toys and chairs, and comfortable beds to sleep in at night. I can't recommend this home strongly enough. No other beach vacation will ever measure up to this one for any of us. |

| We had just a wonderful time on our vacation. There were 17 of us and the home accommodated us perfectly. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen could not have been equipped any better. Whatever you needed was there. A great time was had by all and we hope to have the opportunity to spend our vacation here again. The owner was great to work with and provided us with great information about Topsail. |

| We celebrated my parents 60 Wedding Anniversary at the Flip Flop Inn. What a great stay. At our peak, we had 26 family members who were able to join in the celebration. We ranged in ages 15 years and up. The house is unbelievable. The view is breathtaking. The kitchen is well stocked. It has everything you can think of. The house is roomy and beautifully decorated. It has everything you need beach chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, cornhole etc. The added bonus we enjoyed was the Widow's Walk. This house truly has it all. |

| We (grandparents, 3 couples + 7 children ages 18mos - 17 yrs old) stayed here in August 2008 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is extraordinary and beautiful and comfortable. I don't think I wore shoes the whole week! Gorgeous views, tons of room (kids loved the widow's walk room up top), lots of extras like sand toys and boogie boards, outdoor shower, etc. Susan was incredibly helpful and kind both before and during the rental period. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with people! |

Wonderful home very accomadating for large groups we had 4 generations (20 persons) from a toddler to Great Grandma and Grandpa. Spaces are large for gathering inside and out on porches.
Plenty of nooks and cranies to find reprieve to read, find peace and quiet or enjoy the views of the ocean or sound. All rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. We used their suggestion on where to purchase fresh seafood and on more than one occasion enjoyed the catch of the day, prepared in their well equiped kitchen that met all our culinary needs for the week. Owners are very kind and made me feel like a long time friend that they wanted to share their home with. Definitely a slice of paridise within our means. |

Our immediate family (six adult children & spouses, 13 grandchildren, and two of us) from Georgia, SC, and Maryland, stayed at the Flip Flop Inn the week of July 12-19. The house is lovely, and the kitchen is the best equipped of any we have seen in our 30+ years of beach vacations. Plenty of seating space in the kitchen allowed us to eat together at every meal. The rooms are spacious and comfortable in addition to being beautifully decorated. Our children (six toddlers, 6 grade school age, and one college age)all enjoyed the beach...it was wonderful to have private access, and extra chairs and beach toys were furnished. The outside bathroom and showers made it easy for all to clean up before going inside. All in all, we had a wonderful time at Flip Flop Inn. Susan, the owner,was a delightful hostess and checked on us before, during, and after our visit to be sure that everything was in order. We so appreciated this attentiveness to us and to detail.
Do check out the Flip Flop Inn.....you will not be disappointed and will have the vacation of your life.

Had a great 4th of July week at the Flip Flop Inn. It really exceeded our expectations. We had 20 people stay there (11 kids) and it never seemed like we were on top of each other and we had extra beds. I can truthfully say that there is no better place in the area to watch fireworks on the 4th! Unbelievable! All but one bedroom have ocean views but that's what you get when you are the last one to show up. The owners checked on us while we were there to make sure everything was in order. I hope to get a chance to spend another week there.
