Loved the Flip Flop House

The cottage was charming and had so much character. Great location. Close enough to restaurants and bars in Tybee but far enough away where it was quiet and calm. We are already planning our next stay.

Visit to Tybee

What a great place! We met up with family to spend a couple of days in the Savannah and Tybee area. The house had plenty of space for all of us and plenty of furniture to all of us to relax. We can't wait to come back and spend more time in the area.

Family woman's trip

We do a family women's trip every few years. We had 10 of us this year. The house had everything we could have needed. We loved the back screen porch for lounging around, and the outdoor shower! Also the walk to the beach and shops was not far.

We came down for just a getaway weekend and the cottage was clean, comfortable, and the proximity to AJs was perfect for us as we had dinner reservations there. Also, the yard is big and without those pesky Tybee sand spurs which my fur baby really appreciated. I would definitely like to stay here again.

Wonderful stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We greatly enjoyed our time on Tybee! House was very accommodating for the amount of people that stayed. Location was great as the back river was within walking distance. Only thing I would suggest would be swapping light fixtures out for ceiling fans (living room, twin bed bedroom) as some of the rooms didn't cool as well as others. All in all, great time and experience!

Reviewer Comments: Our Flip Flop House was all we hoped it would be . . . charming decor, side porch perfect for our morning coffee, proximity to AJ's Dockside & gorgeous sunsets, quiet neighborhood, outdoor outlet to charge our golf cart. We were not disappointed in any aspect of our stay (except maybe the dog hair in the corners & dog slobber on the windows, lol).

Winter Trip 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Flips Flop House and will stay again soon. Our visit this time was during the brief spell of freezing weather here in South Carolina. The pipe in the out door shower burst and we were offered another rental while the plumbers fixed things at Flips Flop, but the plumbers had us up and running warm water again in a VERY short time ..so we were able to stay put in our cozy home away from home . Those Mermaids are the best !!
