We had the absolute best time at the flip flop inn. The space accommodated our group perfectly and the amenities were great! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a retreat.
We had a wonderful stay at the Flip Flop Inn! Kelly was a great host and sent clear, detailed check-in instructions on the day we arrived, making everything easy.The house was exactly as pictured—beautifully decorated, very clean, and comfortable. We had eight people in our group, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was stocked with just about everything we needed for our week-long stay, and there were plenty of towels, dishes, seating, and comfortable beds.Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool and the pool table. It was the perfect place for our family to relax, spend time together, and make great memories.We couldn't have been happier with our stay and would definitely book the Flip Flop Inn again. If you're planning a trip to Galveston, I highly recommend staying here!
This property was better than advertised. Attentive host. Very clean property. Fully stocked kitchen. Grandkids were entertained the entire time between the hot tub, heated pool and games. Minutes away from beautiful sunsets on the beach. Property was very quite even over new eve. Kids loved the loft.
My Family and I stayed at the Flip Flop Inn. It is a charming place that has enough to keep everyone busy and in their own space. We loved the location and had a great time hanging out with Family.
The house was spotless, had everything we could need in the kitchen and the beds were comfy. The pool was the icing on the cake for the family to enjoy! Definitely will book again.
This host was PERFCT! The property was amazing! We all loved it!!!! The only 2 things were the hot tub is older and you can’t really see the buttons to operate it .. but we still used it daily and definitely enjoyed it!!The other thing is the spa tub.It was definitely clean just didn’t look it and the water pressure is not enough to fillIt quickly so if you wanted to use that, which we did but weren’t able to you’d have to run the water for over an hour.But it wasn’t a huge deal because everything else made up for that!The kitchen was amazing! Everything was there almost like home!!! We will definitely try and book again!!!
Flip flop Inn is lovely, clean, and very well maintained. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. The deck, outdoor living area pool and hot tub were family favorites. The host was amazing!
The property was clean and neat. The outdoor area is great. My family really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub.
The owner responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had and did a great job of making our stay
enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again.
Great house, great property manager = Great Weekend!
My family and friends stayed there and the house was wonderful! Easy access to the water park, airport & the Strand! Stayed in communication with the property manager which was so sweet & helpful. Would definitely stay again and high recommend this house!
We all enjoyed our stay at the Flip Flop Inn!! It had an awesome hangout space in the back with a pool, hot tub, and pool table. Would be a great place for people with kids as well. We will definitely be back!
The house was just as listed. Clean and well kept house, with a good assortment of utensils and flatware. Bathrooms were very clean and updated Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfortable. The back deck was the best with a large pool, hot tub, gas grill, pool table and plenty of chairs and loungers to choose from. Kelly, the host, has done a great job with her house. Would definitely stay again.
This property lived up to the photos. The indoor spaces allowed our two families to spread out, but the highlight was the outdoor spaces. The pool, hot tub, pool table, and outdoor gathering space were well designed to provide everything our group could want for entertainment and relaxation when we were done at the beach! Due to the location in Galveston, I would strongly recommend a car or budgeting for ride share services.
We came to celebrate my brothers birthday with a nice guided fishing trip. My family and I had an amazing time. The pool felt amazing and the kids loved it. The house had plenty of room for all 9 of us to spread out and enjoy the home. Being able to enjoy the games on Sat while the kids swam was awesome. The home is in a great location. Fishing spots are a short drive away as well as Seawall blvd and all the other tourist spots. Would absolutely stay here again.
House was warm and inviting as soon as we entered the door. Was able to check in early but unfortunately we didn’t make it in to be able to so but the option was there just as well as checking out, but we decided we needed to get on the road. If I could give a better rate I so would. Pool was warm, hot tub was hot and the pool table was the highlight of the stay. My teenagers loved it. House had everything you needed and then some. Would recommend stay again and again.
My friends and I absolutely adored the house!! Everything was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was a nice way to relax after the beach and in the evenings. We enjoyed spending time on the back porch chatting and sipping drinks. We came to celebrate my birthday and when we arrived there was goodies and balloons. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and am already thinking about coming back. :)
It is obvious Kelly takes great pride in her VRBO. The home is clean and has everything you need for a home away from home vacation. She goes above and beyond to create the perfect home environment. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. The rating is well above a 10 out of 10. You can’t go wrong with this rental. And being on the island everything you need from groceries to gas is close by. Kelly is easily accessible. I can’t say enough great things about her and her rental. Worth every cent we paid.
From the moment we booked the Flip Flop Inn to our final day, hostess Kelly was OUTSTANDING! She graciously accommodated our earlier arrival with a cute welcome basket of goodies and a reminder to let her know if we needed anything. She even checked with us to be sure we were doing well part way through our stay. Flip Flop was PERFECT for our two families to meet for a much needed vacation! The pool and hot tub were WELL used by all, several rounds of pool were played, and a few of the games available during the evening indoors. It is well appointed with all the fixin's - linens, beach/pool towels, extra blankets to cozy up, and let me get started on the kitchen! The older kids LOVED the loft and the bunk room was just right for the younger ones. So close to many attractions and dining (but we stayed in A LOT) even finding time to bake. If we head back down to Galveston, we will absolutely book the Flip Flop Inn with Kelly - you should too!
The house was perfect! It was very clean and so much space! The house was very stocked on everything you needed just bring your groceries. Back yard was like our own little resort! Host was exceptional kept us updated, informed and was easy to reach if needed. We will definitely be back!
