Charming Cottage

We enjoyed staying at the FlipFlop cottage. Loved our short walk to downtown and easy drive to the beach. The cottage is complete with all the conveniences needed for a great vacation. The decor gives a feeling of whimsical vacation vibe. The owner was easy to communicate with and responds quickly through the VRBO app.

Great location

This property has an awesome location, a quick 2 blocks to the main strip or to the boardwalk. Had all the essentials, cute beach decor and a relaxing front porch to enjoy as well. Parking was a little tight for 2 vehicles but we made it work and there was street parking as well. Had fans as well as AC. Would definitely stay again

Family getaway

We came from Ohio for a few days and we very much enjoyed our stay! It was such a walkable, safe and beautiful area. We did have a few excursions planned but after arriving we decided they were not neccesary. Being on lake time was exactly what our family needed. Thank you for sharing your beautifully decorated beach cottage with us! Hope we can return next year!

Flip Flop Fun!

My family of two adults and two kids had a great time at the Flip Flop Cottage! The space was very clean and the decor did not disappoint! It is compact, but everyone had their own room and plenty of common space. The cottage offers all the amenities of modernization (especially central AC!) while maintaining the charm of the traditional Grand Haven cottage experience. We appreciated prompt communication, along with a wonderfully central location. Thanks, Flip Flop, for some great summer memories!

Eclectic cute location

This home is very cute, although quite small and the stairs up to the second floor are a bit of a challenge. Eclectic very cute furnishings & bright colors. Warm upstairs - A/C did not quite function as well upstairs - would be beneficial to have ceiling fans or stand up oscillating fans for the two bedrooms upstairs. Other than that perfect location - close to everything that makes Grand Haven special.

Quaint and perfect

Definitely a great location! Only minor gripe would be the shower- it was very dim with the opaque shower curtain and the shower head was one with super fine stream so it was like little water picks. A different curtain or a light over the shower would help with the light issue, and a different shower head would solve the prickly water, so like I said… super minor gripe :)

CUTE, CONVENIENT

Somewhere between tastefully and funkily is where the decorative style of this cozy, charming two-story home resides. You'll love the hardwood floors, by the way. The owner was even kind enough to let us in a couple of hours before our scheduled time. And, yes, it really IS only one block from the water. My only mild dissatisfaction is that while the first floor is centrally air-conditioned, the upstairs is not. Having slept up there one night by myself, I can say that the portable fan was quite adequate in cooling me and allowing for a very good night of sleep. In case you're wondering, I WOULD stay here again.

Great week in GH

We had a lovely time in Grand Haven staying at the Flip Flop cottage. The location is wonderful and the home was cozy and clean. Just right for a small family. Only thing I would note if you plan to cook at all you will need to plan for all pantry items (oil, seasonings, etc.). We love coming to the beach each year and are glad we found this great little cottage!

Perfect location. Bike or walk to the boardwalk and all the happenings in Grand Haven.

This house was perfect for us and we lived the front porch. Great way to start the morning with a cup of coffee and end the day with a glass of wine sitting on the porch.

Cute beach house

The property was super clean. While not spacious, the space was functional and worked well for my family. 2 bedrooms upstairs and one on main floor. Less than 5 minute walk to downtown and 1 mile to the city and state park beaches.

Convenient and Fun

We loved staying at Lisa's place! Everything was clean, and we had all we needed for cooking and fun around the campfire. It was so convenient, especially since we had to put my son down for naptime everyday. It was nice to be right next to downtown, the boardwalk, and the beach. Lisa was helpful when we needed an early check-in and late checkout, and accommodated all requests. We hope to return!

Just so so

While the house was in a nice spot with friendly neighbors the cleanliness left something to be desired. They gave flip flops that were clearly used by other people and though it was nice they offered them if you can't afford to get new flip flops for each group that stays then just don't offer them. Then there was a musty smell in the house and layers of dust in places where you put clothes. It's a shame really the house is small but it has potential if they could only get their crap together.
