Beautiful beach house

We had a great time! The home was very clean and nicely updated and the location, oceanfront, was perfect! My kids especially like all the beach toys and crab nets. Something to watch out for, the stairs in front are quite steep but the ramp around back made that climb easier. We would definitely rent here again.

Great Family Trip

This was mine and my husband's third trip to Gulf Shores and our kids and their significant other's first. The home was awesome! Best stay yet. The views were amazing! We had dolphins in view daily. We would definitely rent this home again. Very comfortable. Very clean.

Had a great time. The house was so clean and the kitchen was very well supplied. The only problem we had was the sliding door was VERY difficult to open. We had a wonderful time!

Great property

We had a wonderful time! Great property- great memories made with our adult kids/spouses. *would’ve like a little shade on back patio with perhaps an umbrella on the table, but not a huge deal. Fully equipped kitchen made our family dinners great. Thanks for the memories & we’ll look forward to future bookings.

Beautiful Views

This condo on the beach is exactly as shown on the website. The beach view is gorgeous and the condo has everything that you could want to have a relaxing and enjoyable time. There were even games that our family enjoyed that we've now ordered for ourselves! The kids loved the beach toys. Be advised if you have any mobility issues that there are several sets of steps, though once inside you'll never want to leave!

House was very nice and clean. We stayed here numerous times under different ownership/management and this was our fist trip back to this house since hurricane Sally. Boardwalk across the dunes is a must! Very nicely remodeled interior. Only suggestion would be for a porch roof on the back deck so guests can enjoy the ocean views in the shade. Great house! Our boat fit easily under the house. Great place to bring your boat. Will be back for sure.

We love this place!

This is our 4th time stying at Flip Flops. Great location way out on Ft Morgan for solitude and a quiet time. The beds are comfortable. Central area with huge windows and sliding glass door. Roomy kitchen. Back deck has boardwalk that crosses the dune with steps right down to the beach. December is a great time because there are few renters. However, be aware, winter is the off season time many home owners renovate and do construction on their properties, so a lot of that going on. Weather is mostly great with chance of a storm or two. Have fun

Relaxing at the beach

My wife and I stayed at this home for 7 nights. It’s a great location and was very quiet when we weee there in early March. House is updated and very comfortable. We only used the King bedroom and it was comfortable. (The bath for the Master is in the hall so it can be shared with another bedroom, but this wasn’t an issue.). Nice deck overlooking the beach with great private boardwalk access. Second bath is small and has to be shared with other two bedrooms. This could be problematic if you had a very large family or group for some. TV is Roku so come with all your subscription passwords or you are out of luck without watching news or reruns.). We did have a significant wind storm while staying other that knocked the TV offline, but the property management company sent someone over the next morning that got it back online. Very responsive. The house did not have a grill, but a small hibachi was available although we didn’t use it. We really enjoyed this home and it would be very comfortable for a family or two couples. The property was very clean and well maintained!

This was the perfect set up for our family. The house was comfortable and beach access was so easy. It felt very private and we love the more natural envious versus the super crowded condo areas. The house had everything we needed. We will definitely book again
