Amazing 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.

Relaxing Getaway!

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!

As close to perfect as I’ve ever stayed at

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.

Blown Away!

I wish I could give this property and its incredible owners more than 5 stars! We had the most relaxing stay and didn’t want to leave! The owners truly thought of everything you could have wanted or needed to feel at home in their home and were very available via the app or cell phone for any questions or needs. I cannot recommend this stay enough! We will definitely be back!!

Best in Emerald Isle

This property and hosts were fabulous ! The hosts are very responsive and take wonderful care of this property. Very clean and cozy. They provided little touches to make it extra special, such as a welcome gift, coffee bar, snacks, drinks and toiletries. Extra comfy bed and private hot tub were perfect. Exactly as advertised. Will definitely go back!

Great Anniversary Getaway

Carolyn's place was wonderful. We visited for our 24th anniversary and it was the perfect place for a getaway. The suite was beautiful and had everything anyone could possibly need. Carolyn had decorated and made it so special for our anniversary. The baked goods were delicious and so thoughtful. If you are visiting the area stay at the suite escape. You will not be disappointed!

From the moment we booked to the moment we left Carolyn and Jonathan were exceptional hosts. My husband said the look on my face said it all-magical!! Carolyn and Jonathan have thought of every detail to make the stay inviting, relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed great dinners on the island, long walks on the beach and the quiet of the last few days of summer.

One of the best getaways I’ve experienced.

The atmosphere and environment was so peaceful and relaxing I truly got the rest I needed. The host was so sweet and kind.I will definitely be back.

Honeymoon of our dreams

The suite was lovely, and so are Jonathan and Carolyn! We spent 8 nights here on our honeymoon and loved it. The location is quiet and easily accessible, an easy walk to the beach, and the suite was larger than we expected from the pictures. The amenities like the bikes were a huge plus as well! Jonathan and Carolyn were super kind overall and very responsive to questions, and were above and beyond helpful when we were in a pinch with our rental car. Cannot recommend this place and these hosts enough, we would choose this for our honeymoon every time!

Extremely Nice Room

We stayed in Suite Escape. The room is beautifully decorated. Very clean and loved all the special touches by the Owners. Only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was we could not lock our room door. We had to leave early so didn't get to meet the Owners, but they were wonderful and very accommodating to all our needs. Thanks Carolyn and Jonathan!! special touch

I could’ve packed a lot lighter if I’d have realized what all they had an available. I’ve never stayed anywhere that provided all the goods. It was a very nice place for a couple to stay.

Sweet escape!

Our first stay here was perfect. Super easy checkin and instructions and recommendations for all the ins and outs. Room was super cozy, private, and comfortable. Hosts were readily available for any questions or help. Very short walk to the beach, and having the golf cart was a bonus. For December the weather was perfect for beaching all day, We ended up running back to the suite to put on summer clothes! Nice little restaurants only a short walk from here also.Wakeup, beach, dinner, hot tub, rinse and repeat. Suite also had so much beachy decor with the sound of waves when you come in for the first time, look forward to going back!

We had big expectations after reading all of the great reviews from previous guests and somehow Carolyn still managed to exceed them. As soon as we opened the door to the Flip Flop Suite we were blown away. The attention to every little detail was incredible Everything was picture perfect, clean and decor was amazing. Quiet and very much relaxing. We had delicious cookies awaiting us and departing lemon pound cake!!

The PERFECT Escape

The moment we walked into our suite at Suite Escape was absolutely perfect! We were greeted with fresh baked cookies, fully stocked coffee bar with snacks, & a wonderful candle lit dining tray with rose petals & ice chilled wine. My husband & I needed a romantic getaway that was intimate, cozy, & away from all of the hustle & bustle of everyday life/people-and that was exactly what we got!! The hosts were amazing! They were very responsive, checked in on us frequently to ensure we had everything we needed, & helped us plan certain places to visit or dine at. We truly valued our time at Suite Escape & we plan on returning next year for another needed “escape!”

Flip Flop unit A

Walked into our room and it was like a spa. Soft music of waves. Pretty decor encouraging relaxation. Two possible negatives: deck chair lounges were pretty but not comfy for long stay sitting and inside stairs after stairs to deck were alot...but then again, great exercise! Hosts were very nice and room had everything you could think of including home made baked goods twice during our week's stay. Close to everything we needed, walking trail, grocery, restaurants, gas and beaches. We liked the Western access beach with outside showers and restrooms and a plus of lifeguards. Host also offered beach chairs, beach bag, towels, use of bikes, golf cart and kayak. We had an amazing week!

Carolyn and Johnathon are amazing hosts!!

My husband and I decided we wanted to go to Emerald Isle for a last minute getaway before the start of school began. We ran across this sweet, cute place on VRBO. From questions before booking, while there and then before we left the hosts ensured we had anything and everything needed to make our stay perfect. The room was very clean and stocked with drinks, snacks and even 4 freshly baked chocolate chip cookies upon arrival. The hosts do have a golf cart that is shared by all the guests, you just have to sign up for your time. We rented our own so we did not have to have theirs back at certain times but did use it the last day before leaving. With a golf cart it made it a perfect location to get to the beach. I would highly recommend staying with Carolyn and John if you and your spouse are looking for somewhere to go to get away together and relax because they will make sure that you will enjoy every moment and have your room ready for you to relax! We love the Emerald Isle area and would definitely stay at this location again if it was only my husband and I again, which we are already planning our next trip!!
