We had a great time at this property. The upstairs room with extra mini kitchen and living space was awesome. It’s close to the community pool and the beach.

We had a great time at Popsicles and Flip Flops. A beautiful home in a beautiful community--perfect for us and our two dogs. Highly recommend!
We celebrated Thanksgiving at Port Anaras. Our family of 8 had plenty of room. We didn’t use the pool but it was available and clean. The house its self was very clean and well equipped. Everything we needed was right there.
We had a lot of fun. Location is great. We had an issue with our A/C unit and they sent someone over right away, which was nice. Would rent again!

My family had a wonderful time here. Very spacious and clean. Close drive to the beach and heated pool. Everything you could ask for.
The house was wonderful. It was a lot larger than we expected, and the grill was a nice touch. They had all the plates and dishes we needed. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone to get ready, and when we went out, the wonderful island taxi knew exactly where to go. Would 100 percent rent again.
Our stay was wonderful and priceless memories were made. We did have a few issues with the amenities (washer was broken and smelled awful, refrigerator does not cool, no blankets for pull out sleepers.) Those things were very important to us but we did not let it ruin our stay. I hope they do better and fix those issues for the next guests.

A bit to small
Since this was a family event, we were hoping the general living area would be more accommodating to gather and relax. Not a lot of room for that. Also pool area could have used a few shade options.

This vacation home worked for me and my family. There were enough bedrooms for everybody and I like the amount of bathrooms. There were a few problems, but none that interfered with my vacation. The ice in the upstairs refrigerator was 4 inches thick. A coffee table was broken. A chair was broken outside and an inside chair by the island was not screwed in well enough. The house overall was clean. I loved the amount of bathrooms.
We visited over the Sandfest weekend. The property was clean and as described. The carriage house was lovely - it’s like a separate (but adjoining) 1 bedroom with a sitting area, balcony, bathroom and kitchenette. It was perfect for our group of 6. Three parking passes were more than sufficient. Check in and checkout process was easy.
I left my laptop behind and did not realize it until the next morning. A call to the property managers and 30 minutes later they called me back to ask me where to shop it to!! Fabulous service.

Popsicles and Flipflops was nice for our family getaway. The management company was quick to respond and sent someone out right away when our sinks weren’t draining. There were a few things that were broken like the patio chair, the barstool and the living room table. There was also a bird nest right outside the front door which caused bird poop to be everywhere and if you walked out the wrong way you would get pooped on too. Those were the only negative things, otherwise the house was beautiful and functional for our extended family vacation.
As close as the houses are to each other, there was no noise problems at night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Popsicles and Flip Flops VW8. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, etc. We had two families with 7 kids. There was plenty of space. The pool is always wonderful and we love the gated community. We would highly recommend Village Walk and this particular house.

"Popsicles and Flip Flops" was perfect for our extended family vacation! We had 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 11-16). The house was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone! It is in a gated subdivision which has "quiet hours" between 10pm - 8am, which I definitely appreciated! The kids loved the community pool which was just a few houses down from the house. The kitchen was big and fully stocked, which was great as we were able to cook most of our meals there! Good sized dining table and bar stools, so there was plenty of seating. The covered patio and chairs were lovely too. It rained a couple days and it was nice to sit outside and read on the patio. We also used the bbq grill to cook burgers. The beach is just a short drive. The house had everything! There was even a washer/dryer so we could do laundry (a must with the many beach trips and the rain). We were all very pleased with the house's size, cleanliness, comfort and location! The grounds of the community are nicely landscaped and well kept. I would highly recommend this house. The only downside was the WiFi at the house did not work at all and regular cell service was very spotty at the house. It wasn't too big of a deal, but there were times we needed it and had to leave the house to get service. Also, the couches in the carriage house make into beds but they were broken and uncomfortable. Two of our kids were originally going to stay there, but after the first night they moved to the couch/beds in the upstairs bedroom and much preferred that location for their stay!
This property is really nice, we had a great time!

Quick and Easy is the best way to describe our trip. The location was great and easy to get in and out. The check in and out was super easy. We rented a golf cart and traveled everywhere in town and on the beach.
Great house for friends/family to share. Cute neighborhood, but limited parking if you have more than 3 vehicles.
