Great Beach House!

My husband and I loved this community and house! The complimentary golf cart was amazing going to and from the beach! The house was very well stocked as well. The beds are a little uncomfortable and small but overall we would stay again!

Family beach getaway

Loved the community and the amenities. Even with the rain, we still was able to go swimming. Enjoyed golf cart rides around and found a swan nest and many turtles. The house was very clean and the dogs loved the fenced in yard.

Convenient and Relaxing

The place was exactly as pictured. The golf cart to get to and from the beach was fantastic. The location is great as it is close to great dining options but far enough away from the crowds to relax.

Best vacation ever.

The property was perfect. Very clean and all of our needs were anticipated and taken care of. Having the golf cart was a great perk and allowing us to bring our 2 dogs made the trip our best vacation ever. Can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Great weekend!!

This property was great. Very clean and as pictured. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two dogs. This is probably one of the best places we’ve stayed as far as cooking appliances, utensils and dishes. It was so nice to have all linens furnished as well. Both beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great vacation and the flip flop zone was a great place to stay. This was our first time staying at Oceanside Village and we really enjoyed it. The private beach access was super nice! We had a few small issues during the week but Sabra was quick to respond.

Great experience

We had a wonderful stay at Flip Flop Zone. We had a hiccup in the beginning but was taken care of rather quickly. The place was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the front porch very much. Our two dogs loved the dog park and getting lots of walks and rides on the golf cart (which was a great add on). We enjoyed that very much. We would definitely stay again!

Although it rained most of the time, we enjoyed our stay at the flip flop zone !

Great place

It was exactly as listed. Perfect place for me and my parents. Getting to bring our little pups was such a treat. Loved the community, the golf cart and private beach. We had a hiccup when we arrived but it was quickly taken care of by the owners. Good communication. was clean. The yard could use some TLC but it was nice to have a fenced in area for the pups. I would definitely come back.
